Article: Finding the Best, Online Tutor or Specialist for Your Child

Finding the Best, Online Tutor or Specialist for Your Child

As many of you know, finding the best after-school, academic, and remedial support for your child is fraught with challenges. Even with a thorough evaluation that identifies your child’s learning strengths and weaknesses, it can be difficult to find a local professional with the expertise your child needs.

The Lack of Skilled, Accessible Learning Specialists is a Great Frustration for Many Parents:

This is a major challenge for many families in rural areas. What’s more, the costs of one-to-one services can be difficult to manage, and many professionals are booked solid. Finally, many parents don’t have the time in their schedules to drive their children around town from appointment to appointment.

But Things are Changing:

Every day, more trained tutors, learning specialists, and educational therapists are adopting online tools that allow them to provide high-quality, multisensory academic and remedial support to our kids through the Internet. In addition, tools and resources are now available to parents who want to offer the support themselves.
