ONLINE TUTORING NOW AVAILABLE!
I am now doing online tutoring (again)! It is so easy to do! All you need is a webcam and a speed internet connection. Tutoring is done using the online program Skype.
Now you can get highly quality tutoring from the comfort of your own home or dorm room!
If you are interested in discussing the possibility of online tutoring further, just send me an email using the 'Contact Us' form on the left. I am happy to answer any questions you have!
How it works:
1) We both log in to Skype (http://www.skype.com/) which allows for free video chat (very high quality too).
2) Then we both fix our web-camera onto a piece of paper (as in my math tutoring videos) so that we can see each others work, and begin
working out a problem as though I was sitting next to you! We talk as we work through the problem.
3) I can see where your mistakes on the problem are, as well as you being able to see how I am working the problem. It is easy! All you need is a high speed internet connection and a good quality webcam (something under $100 should be fine- a very good high quality webcam is listed at the bottom of this page!).
4) In fact, I am so convinced that you will like online tutoring, I am happy to give you 30 minutes free so that you can give it a
trial run. I am also happy to guide you through the set-up process of getting Skype up and running (although it is easy!).
*** Beware of online tutoring that uses whiteboards controlled by a mouse with text messaging only. Have you ever tried to write out a complicated integration problem on a whiteboard with a mouse? It does not work very well at all. Plus, do you want to have to spend half of your time typing out messages about what is confusing you when you could just be saying it?!***
