Columbia, Canada, is the first school district to endorse the “MyTutor.ca

MyTutor.ca provides “live” tutoring over the Internet,
using an inexpensive web camera with microphone and a headset your
son or daughter can communicate over the Internet in real time with
an online tutor they can hear and see. They can have a conversation
through their computer as if they were in the same room. See the minimum
recommended technology section of our website for more details about
what is required. |
It's easy to search for and select all qualified and experienced
online tutors. Parents can select from a growing list of
accredited tutors for any elementary or high school subject. Online
tutors are available for college and university programs as well.
We specialize in ESL, providing an ever increasing range of “native
English speaking” tutors.

for a tutor on the homepage. |

Parents can interview all potential online tutors over the internet
before being committed to paying for their services. To review

Students enjoy live face to face communication. This
is a “totally cool” approach to learning, using a familiar
device – the home computer. Having a web cam and access to our
technology allows for web cam communication for online tutoring and
fun with friends and relatives after the tutoring session is completed.

Tutoring over the internet has a variety of positive benefits:
1. Travel related problems are reduced. The online
tutoring can happens at home, when it is convenient for you, in front
of your computer. No driving your son or daughter to a tutoring session.
2. Interference with sports and clubs – You
can schedule the online tutoring for 30 minutes or 60 minutes when
it is convenient for you and your family. This convenience will minimize
interference with after school and evening activities.
3. Features a safe and secure on-line environment. Online
tutoring sessions are monitored by professionals for quality assurance,
safety and training purposes.
4. “strangers” will not be coming to your home,
or be meeting your son or daughter in libraries and other public places. |

any leading retailer for less than $70, and is wonderful
for use in non-tutoring situations too! A high-speed internet connection
is required – ADSL or cable. Any PC computer purchased in the
last three years should be adequate ( a PC Pentium III with a minimum
processor speed of 400Mhz is needed, using Microsoft Internet Explorer
6. Unfortunately, MacIntosh computer systems are not compatible with
our technology at this time.) |
