FeedTheVillage.com - Tips and Advice: Online Tutoring: GlobalScholar.com compared to brick and mortar centers.
All things being equal - There is no question that this is a HUGE advantage over the "brick and mortar" tutoring centers. MY son pointed out - "With a laptop and the wireless card he could be learning WHILE we are Driving!" - I think he was just trying to sell me on him getting a laptop and wireless card. On the question of price I found that the tutors were less expensive than the brick and mortar counterparts and far less expensive than a tutor that will come to the house. Factor in Gas and the value of time and again the edge goes to GlobalScholar.com So finally the big question... Results and Effectiveness GlobalScholar.com I was very comforted to see that in Jan 2008 the State of South Carolina entered into a Public-Private Partnership to provide a statewide online curriculum program. I also thought it was cool that every session was recorded so that the student could review the lesson. In my case it would also allow me to review the lesson with kids. In conclusion: After careful consideration and discussion with other parents, huge amounts of time on research and with the best interest of the student as well as the parent in mind I can whole heartedly recommend GlobalScholar.com as what I consider the best resource for tutoring. Quite frankly, I am currently researching the best language programs. Once I decide on which language and which program I will be using their services myself.
