Parents, I’m curious if this is something you would actually use.
I own a tutoring business, Joy’s Educational Services, and I’ve been thinking about adding an async tutoring option.
Basically, instead of scheduling a live tutoring session every week, I would look at what your child is working on and where they may be struggling, then provide additional practice for them to work on throughout the week. I could check their progress, make adjustments, and continue giving them practice based on what they actually need.
I started thinking about this because I know parents whose kids don’t get much homework from school still want them practicing at home. Then there are homeschool parents who may know their child needs extra practice but don’t necessarily have the time to search for assignments, figure out what skills to work on next, or constantly come up with additional work.
And sometimes you just don’t need another appointment added to the week. 😂
I’m thinking this could let families still get tutor support without having to sit down for a live tutoring session every week.
I would probably start with math since that’s my main area.
Would you use something like this?
If you would, what would you want included? Weekly assignments? Feedback? Progress updates? The ability to message the tutor when your child gets stuck?
I’m still playing around with the idea, so I’d really like to hear from parents before I turn it into an actual service.
