WeTutor: Product Review

Word is spreading on the newly launched site WeTutor, an online tutoring service. From the start WeTutor demonstrates confidence in their tutors, their Code of Ethics, their Tutoring Best Practices in education, and their state-of-the-art virtual classroom. WeTutor should be at the top of your list when looking for a personal tutor for yourself, your child, or are interested in tutoring online.

What pulls WeTutor to the ‘Head of the Class’ from other online tutoring programs is that all of their tutors are professional teachers in the United States who offer one-on-one online tutoring for students K-12. WeTutor stands behind having the best teachers as their tutors and offers the student the opportunity to rate the tutor at the end of each session allowing the customer to have a say in the quality of the tutoring sessions.

The customer chooses their tutor according to grade and subject, however WeTutor also posts the tutor’s profile revealing their specialties, days and times they are available. WeTutor offers a greater spectrum of possible tutors available to you during the times that are most convenient for you and your family than a local in-person tutor can offer. In addition, WeTutor offers one-on-one leaning from the safety and comfort of your own home.

WeTutor teamed up with the National Association of Independent Schools and created a Code of Ethics and Tutoring Best Practices. Each tutor hired at WeTutor is expected to teach in compliance with this Code of Ethics. To learn more about WeTutor’s Code of Ethics and Tutoring’s Best Practices log on to http://blog.wetutor.com/bestpractices/ . These lists will help you understand the company’s high standards for their material, their tutors, and their program as a whole.

WeTutor offers up-to-date leaning tools such as document sharing, an interactive whiteboard, web content sharing, video call, and tools for parents and classroom teacher collaboration. Individuals that have a microphone or a video camera will have access to speak directly to their tutor, otherwise text chat or telephone can be used. These tools make online tutoring a virtual in-person experience not unlike actual in-person tutoring, but without the hassles that sometimes can come with in-person tutoring.

WeTutor allows the customer to decide on tutors based on academic and financial interest. New tutors are sometimes even available for free. For your convenience, the cost of the session is displayed prior to the session. The customer can pay immediately or have up to 5 days to complete the billing using a major credit card or PayPal. Because the tutors are paid directly, no additional tutoring sessions can be utilized until payments have been made on the prior session.

So whether you are planning on being tutored or to be the one to tutor, you now have access to a wonderful online tutoring source, WeTutor. Good Luck!
