Online Face-to-Face Class
Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face tutoring?
In most cases, it’s even better!
Generally, children of all ages respond very well to working with April on our online platform, as most of them already use similar technology at school.
Our personalized approach, with Q&A during the class and comments and feedback after each session, provides students (and parents) with confidence.
