Is in person tutoring better than online?

I personally think the better result and effective is face to face than online maths tutoring.

in person is a lot more effective. I have carried out tutoring online and in person. Its much easier for me to see when the student is struggling and when they're not. With online I would need to see them either communicate or I put questions in place to work out how he/she is feeling.

According to my perspective, face to face Maths tutoring is much more better than online.

In person is more effective. Working direct with students gives confidence to both students and teacher. Direct Tutoring gives better communication and problem solving.

Both are same but in online tutoring students have to be more responsive.

Face to face teaching is always better for the student. It gives the tutor a chance to see how you work as you layout your answer rather just sharing the answer once it is completed. Little points like this all add together to improve your results and final grades.

Face 2 Face is always the best. However, it all depends on individuals

Online is better if it is one to one ,like wise you can save your time on travelling.

It depends on learning style and preference.

Hi, I have worked as a maths tutor 1-to-1 on line and in person . I think in person is better as there is nore eye contact. However a quaified and experienced teachrer working online is a lot better than a 1-to-1 with a person not well trained and/or experienced. You should ask both about their tutoring method just to see if they have thought it throgh. Roghtly myne is: If it is in person, the tutee can take awy all the notes; myself and the studet write in the same note pad. I explain what the concept is all about, hopefully with the use of a diagram and then start with a series of questions from the very simple right up to hard. Working slow if needed and the next problem I give depends on how they answered the last one. So concets bulid up gradually,always checking that one concept is learned and practiced before the next concept is introfuced. I also give advice with study sklls: how to take notes (the Cornell Method). How to learn notes (the Forgetting Curve), and how to set yourown practive exam (random numbers, my oen inventon). Appologies for all the detail.

I couldn't agree more! An experienced teacher, online, who knows the curriculum inside out and knows the common misconceptions and mistakes students make, is better online than an inexperienced individual on a one-to-one basis. I've too often seen parents unwittingly find unqualified tutors, who then have very little impact in improving pupil performance or confidence.

As a tutor, I'd say in -person one-to-one tuition is the most effective. However, where this is not possible, ive seen on-line working well too. Some pupils respond well from their own self motivation. Others may need some encouragement from parents. Saira Maths tutor, North London

in-person is more effective

Be in person or online, it completely depends on ATL(Attitude towards learning) of the student and ATT(Atitude towards Teaching) of the teacher.

Hi, in person tutoring has the merits and demerits in my opinion. Depend on the tutee age group, and need of the tutee, the in person tutoring may be better in some circumstances. For instance, for tutee whose attention span is low and difficult to maintain it is not ideal to opt for online tutoring. While conversely, for highly focused tutee, it may be easier for both the tutor and tutee to have their lessons online. I’ve been privileged to do both online tutoring and in person tutoring. So my honest opinion is that both have their merits and demerits which relies on who the tutee is, distance to the tutee etc.

Hi, I have tried both and I have a n excellent experience with both but I found in-person tutoring is far more better than online tutoring.

In person

I am an online tutor and have seen how my clients are successful in terms of flexible time and setting so I think online tutoring works well too.

I am a bit biased as I am on line tutor. If your tutor is using an active screen it is the same as using a whiteboard but the tutor can also send you all the boards that have been used as notes on top of the notes that they should be sending as well. A lot of people have these notes useful

From my experience as both a student and a tutor, I’ve found that both in-person and online tutoring can be effective, depending on what you’re looking for. In-person tutoring offers the benefit of direct, face-to-face interaction. You can immediately see how a student is reacting to the material, which helps in adjusting your teaching approach on the spot. I’ve worked with students where this physical presence really helped build rapport, making it easier for them to ask questions and feel engaged. There’s something about being in the same room that naturally encourages a student to focus. However, I’ve also spent a lot of time tutoring online, and there are definite advantages to that too. Online tutoring gives flexibility—both to the student and me as a tutor. Since I’m someone who likes to have the option to travel and maintain a disciplined lifestyle, online tutoring has given me the freedom to work from anywhere, whether I’m on campus, at home, or even on the move. One of the biggest concerns people often have about online tutoring is the lack of personal connection. But in my experience, using the right tools—screen sharing, collaborative whiteboards, or simply a well-structured lesson plan—can bridge that gap effectively. Since I’ve tutored students in programming, machine learning, and maths, I’ve seen how effective it can be to use technology to visualize problems and solutions. So, for me, both methods work. In-person tutoring feels more traditional and immediate, but online tutoring offers flexibility and, if done well, can be just as engaging and effective.

Due to the advanced technology nowadays, tutoring online can be as good as in-person. For the sake of child protection, online tuition is safer than in-person class.

The important aspect is the teaching strategies and resources used by the teacher both are equally good

Both are good if you have the right teacher.

I believe that face-to-face teaching is superior to online teaching because it allows teachers to gauge students’ understanding through their facial expressions. However, online teaching can be quite effective if the student is dedicated and comfortable with the virtual format.

Although I can teach in both modes but I would say In person tuition would always be better. As in-person communication and problem solving is more effective.

Personal tutor is better than online tutoring only if you value the presence of your guide(person). The doubts and queries after watching online lessons is easily cleared in person.

As a teacher, I have always considered that face to face teaching has the potential to be more effective. When dealing with an explanation of something complex, a good teacher can read in a student's face whether the issue is being understood and will respond by putting things in different ways until the light of understanding shows. Any questions needed can be asked quickly and easily dealt with immediately backed up with what I said above.

Depending upon the situation ,i guess both methods are effective… My personal experience is best with online tutoring.

It depends, if you can find someone close that can meet your needs then in person is probably best. If there are not people who can meet your needs close then it's best to work with the right person online. I'd say try out a few tutors and see how it goes.

It depends on the conveniences of the student and also the teaching pattern of the tutor. I personally make sure I follow up my student after the online classes via WhatsApp to make sure the student is doing well in class. I do a lot of interactions with my student through WhatsApp by sharing more excersices and solving more problems.

Hi, Being a tutor in this, I would say that in person is easier, however with an engaged student and experienced tutor, online can be just as good!Please don’t hesitate to contact for any further help!

Hi Alice, I've tutored both in person and online and from what I've heard from my students, they prefer online far better as it allows them to learn in their own space, no time or money wasted on travelling to and from a centre and as they are able to reach out and communicate with their tutor whenever they'd like. If you've got any other questions feel free to reach out!

In person tutoring is better than online in my opinion but you can also find someone online who can make it all seem very normal like u were in person. But don’t get me wrong I learn more simple ways of solving and tackling maths problems online via YouTube and other video based content over the internet.

As long as the student and teacher understands each other well, I think both options are great. But in person class helps the tutor to quickly design an effective knowledge transfer based on the student's weaknesses and strengths. Online it takes a little more time for that

online lesson is completely better than in person. It just depends on the tutor. An online lesson is more convenient and it is literally the same thing with in person lessons

Hi Alice I am a Private Tutor. I have tried both online and face to face. I would say I really enjoyed face to face because you can have that real life, close up feeling and human interaction. It can work well, however after using the online I found that you can still get that human interaction feeling but also there are many advantages such as, better access to resources, easier to coordinate lessons, no travel costs, no subsistence costs, no hold-ups when trying to leave the client venue or other venue, no bad smells to contend with coming from the client venue etc flies darting around the kitchen, pets crawing over you are just some of the issues Tutors have to deal with. As for the student, they also benefit from better exam training, more work coverage, no need to prepare the home for the Tutor, no travelling and so less time wated. I would say as long as the student does not have mental health issues including camera phobias etc then yeah go for the online.

Yes it is ,if you are not concerned about travelling, definitely face to face tuition is better than remote lessons

In person has many advantages such as real relationship with students,direct eye contact and live feeling also easier in writing and drawing to answer students all questions and deliver understanding faster. Online tutoring has also many advantages such as using electronic tools,e-learning apps ,photos ,videos and real life examples also online solve the problem of far distances even different countries between student and tutor where the in person teaching would be impossible .

It is always better in person to learn but online lessons can also be as effective as in person if someone has good tactic to explain something

Both the ways are effective if you choose everything in a positive aspect.

Hi, it depends on what type of student you are, some students prefer face-to-face sessions, and other students prefer online sessions, they feel more comfortable and they tend to ask more questions than what they would've asked in person. In the end, it's you who decides what's better for you.

From my experience, it all depends on the person's age as well as their attitude. For younger children, an in-person tutor may be more suitable because the tutor is able to be more interactive and, if the child has issues with focus, an in-person tutor can make sure to engage them without the parents having to sit with the child constantly, during the whole tutoring lesson. For older students who are self-motivated or for adults, I would say it does not matter.

It depends on your learning style and preferences. In-person tutoring can offer personalized interaction and immediate feedback, which might be beneficial if you thrive in a face-to-face setting. It also allows for a more hands-on approach and can be better for complex or nuanced topics.

In-person offers personal touch; online provides flexibility.

It depends with the time and availability of a teacher. With technology these days, everything you do in person can be done as well online if the pupil is well versed in technology as well. This saves time for the teacher to arrive in time for your lecture and flexible to end or do lessons at anytime suitable for both the teacher and the student. As long as it's one on one, either online or physical, I believe both are good and online having more advantages than physical.

Online

It depends on students' attention in class. If students can focus on what they're learning, online teaching is a better way cuz it saves time on travelling. If they can't, in-person teaching can let them stay more focused.

Being tutored in-person has a maximum impact than online. You have the ability to ask questions and receive immediate response. The tutor gets to know the learner in real time. This means you know the strengths and weaknesses of the learner so as to give help where necessary.

The effectiveness depends on the tutor.

Face to face is much better compared to tutoring maths online.

Both one are good . It depend on student and teacher if teacher is clear all question that comes frome student and also student give more attention in his study then both in person and online maths tutoring are good

======================================================= Hi Alice In-person: Where you can ask your small doubts directly and you will get your solution faster,personal mentoring. Online: but there you cannot ask small doubts,personal mentoring.

Hi, in my view, tutoring in person is more affective than online classes. However, online classes are beneficial alternatively.

I think face to face interaction is more effective for betterr esults

In my experience, tutoring in person is more effective than online as face to face interaction gives a greater opportunity to read the 'feelings' of the student and respond that much better than when online. Also, I find that some students to get 'busy' on 'multitasking' during online sessions, such as playing games (especially those higher achieving students and those with short attention span).

Online learning can be effective with the right tools and a good understanding of the student from initial face-to-face lessons. While in-person sessions are always preferred, online options using smart pen tablets and virtual boards offer a valuable experience, save commuting time, and provide more flexible scheduling. I've consistently received excellent feedback for my online lessons as well.

I would like tutoring in person

Definitely face-to-face!

I strongly believe face to face is better.

It depends of the area you get tutoring. For example geometry is almost impossible to tutor online, because is visual bi-dimensional or tri-dimensional and constructive.

online tutoring is good

There is no clear demarcation between the two. Normally, in-person tutoring is a traditional approach and it is generally regarded as being friendly to the learners. The advantage with in-person tutoring is that the learner would not easily get distracted, would stay focused and the proximity of the teaching/learning process would enhance their understanding of the subject matter. When it comes to online tutoring, the advantage is that the learner gets to experience a new study environment, with captivating content; this would enhance the learner's skills in digitalization and make them learn maths in a fun way. Secondly, expertise skills can be sought through online tutoring. Overall, which approach is better depends on the circumstances prevailing.

Each methods of delivery has its own pros and cons therefore the answer will depend on the specific needs, preferences of a student and how effect the lessons can be conducted in each method

Actually many can work with both but since we have the advantage of great technology I believe online is more flexible

online tutoring is the best when both parties agreed and uses the best possible tools to interact and do it at your comfort.

It depends, if you can manage in person, it's good

I have done both online and in person tutoring as well as I have taken both online and in person classes as a student. I can say with confidence that in-person classes are way more effective because you can see genuine reactions of the student and understand more efficiently.

The honest truth is that online is dependent on age, dedication and readiness of learner. The effectiveness of in-person tutoring can not be over-emphasised but circumstances surrounding the need for online tutoring could be a determinant factor for its effectiveness and success. To make online effective it has to be self-regulated from you and your level of engagement needs to heightened.

In person is way better because you can spend more time and effort to deal with the fundamentals.

It depends on person to person, but in essence if you have a desire for a bright future, than both will work for you.

Personally, I think face to face in person tutoring would offer the most benefit as it allows the tutor to be able analyse body language as well as being able to watch them work. However, online tutoring has improved massively and the use of whiteboards mean that we can often watch the student answering questions to work out the areas they are struggling with. Online tutoring can sometimes be a little cheaper and may be more time efficient as there is no commuting time.

In my perspective, face to face Maths tutoring is much more better than online.

I think that it depends on the student and teacher. if the teacher is explaining things well and doing their best to help the student that doesn't mean that online tutoring is best, it is only best if the students also puts the effort, pay attention and do extra work and even asks questions on things they are not sure about. it is same with in person.

Certain topics there is not so much of a difference but the more 'hands on' topics like transformations, constructions etc are better in person.

Online

on point of my view, in person tutoring gives more practical advantages than on line teaching. Also, I prefer to face to face teaching because I am able to clarify things well.

In-person suits young students; online offers flexibility.

Hi Alice, I think online is better if you record it because you can reattend it as you can whenever you want.

hi Alice, i am an online maths physics tutor and imy experience says online maths tutoring will help you alot, because you can contact your tutor at anytime whenever you feel difficulty solving maths problems. my students contact me whenever they feel stuck during maths practice...so i will suggest you online tutoring is much better than in person tutoring. :)

Hi Alice, I would recommend in person tutoring as it is easier for the tutor to build a rapport with the child. This makes learning much easier. Hope this helps!

In person is a lot more effective than online, however online is a suitable alternative if the student is willing to learn and engage with lessons without needing lots of support to start the tasks

In person tutoring is much better than online simply because the real feel irrespective of what someone may say is still missing on video calls.

In-person tutoring is better than online because because we can contact soon and find out student’s mistakes.

Depending on the situation, both are effective ways of learning. Online is better because it gives you that comfort of going through the work and asking lots of question.

Math and Sciences have better results when handled face to face. These are practical lessons which need personalised approaches.

The best maths tutoring is an in person tutoring, it gives an opportunity for instant feedback and better comprehensive understanding

Trust me, in-person is better than online for mathematics

Hello,it really depends on what you're looking for!! Online maths tutoring is really helpful...it really depends on the availability of your tutor, but you can learn so much online. Much less pressure, you can do additional research without the feeling of your tutor telling you what to do. It's your choice really.

For me, both are effective for as long as online tutor is equipped with gadgets necessary for learning such as drawing pad for easy showing of calculations in Math. If to decide which is way better then I will go with online platform because it is not time consuming and everything is shown on the screen without delays and you can also replay the lessons anytime as well especially if it is being recorded.

Both medium for educating is good.

Hi, Alice. Both are okay. In-person is better in terms of personal connection and physical interaction while online is more comfortable for ones who don't want to spend some time on commuting.

In person will be much better than online. Online classes can be boring and you can get distracted.

I think in today’s day and age learning is much more screen based and the earlier one can get used to this kind of learning the quicker the adaptation when this type of learning becomes the norm!

Online tutoring tends to be cheaper than in-person tutoring, as it often involves less hands-on assistance and remedial instruction. However, some may find the lack of face-to-face interaction to be unappealing and prefer the flexibility and direct support offered by in-person tutoring services.

Face to face tutoring is more effective, it give room to build a good bond with your tutor and it allow me to see your struggles as we work through different mathematical concepts.

I think that online tutoring is better than an in person, save time and lower cost plus students can achieve the full mark. so what we need more ?

Not better, each one has its pros and cons, but teaching online is fun and useful.

I would suggest in-person tutoring, it will gave effective results.

I think both work. I do like to establish a good rapport by tutoring in person and then a blend of in person and online works really well especially when working around busy schedules.

Hello Alice, online tutoring is just as effective as in person tutoring. It's the skill that counts.

Hi Alice, I highly recommend in-person tutoring, as you'll be able to get a better understanding of the work. You can connect more with your tutor and develop a better level of trust and confidence when opening up about what you're struggling with in classes. In-person also means there aren't any glitches or technical difficulties stopping you from getting the best experience

According to my experience , it depends upon the student as both mode of teaching has got its own merits and demerits. I do prefer online as it could save more time and help students to invest time for studies

In person for sure

In-person tutoring is definitely better if you consider student engagement and attentiveness factor.

if its a good tutor, its the same, but for a student usualy is better going in person, but it really depends on the teacher

In-person teaching is better than online teaching.

I have tutored both face to face and online lessons. In my experience online lessons work best with older pupils - year 6 primary and above

online

If you’re a more proactive learner, in-person tutoring can be seen as more effective as it allows you to personally gain an insight on to the subject. However, that is not to discredit online tutoring, yet I would more so suggest this for areas of help you need a refresh on and to expand your knowledge in.

Hello Alice, I believe either of the two can work for you depending on a number of factors. In case you have a busy schedule then online maths can work for you as it has recordings you can go back to in case you get busy and miss a concept. I offer online tutoring and would highly recommend them.

Either of the tutorial methods can be great and at the same time daunting. It depends on the experience and the competence of the tutor.

In person is a lot more effective. In person, always provide an immediate feedback from the tutor. but also online become more useful when in-person is not possible due to some issues

In person is better; physical presence have much more effect than virtual.
