Tutoring

Async Tutoring stands for asynchronous, a fancy education term for learning that isn’t live.  The challenge with tutoring is scheduling time to help students.  Async Tutoring solves this problem by changing tutoring to a non-live conversations.  The benefit for the student is that we’ve significantly reduced the cost.  The benefit to us is that we can help more students.

How does it work?

After paying for an Async Tutoring session, we will enroll you in our Async Tutoring Moodle course. (This is typically done within 24 hours.) There you will submit a short video explanation of the concept you are struggling with along with some supporting documents (homework, pages from your textbook or notes, etc.) After reviewing your video and documentation, we’ll provide you with the following:

• An email response or short reply video (approximately five minutes) giving some feedback on the topics you are struggling with.
• One (or more) active learning activities to help you better understand the concepts you are struggling with.
• A walk-through video for any of the active learning activities you’ve been given.
• A link to a traditional lecture video (or videos) made by us, which we believe will help.
• Some problems you can work to help you.
• In Moodle, you may then submit a follow up video and any of the completed materials for feedback.
• We will respond again by email or video with any follow-up advice.

The process is completed after the second response from us.

Our goal is always to respond within one business day.  But, depending on volume, we may require up to two business days.  Async Tutoring is an approach designed to help you with big picture topics and concepts that aren’t making sense.
