Today, I'll be profiling Tutor.com.
Tutor.com has two sides. It can be a money-maker, if you qualify as a tutor. It can also be a very valuable resource for tutoring.
I've tutored through Tutor.com. They provide services in two ways: Live Homework Help and Direct. LHH is often found in libraries, where students can log on - either at the library, or through the library's website if they have a library card - and get 20-minute sessions for free. Tutor.com Direct students are those who have paid for a block of time. They get sessions of unlimited length. They also have the benefit of entering their question before the session, so they don't waste time setting the question up - and so that tutors can prepare briefly before the session starts.
Plans work out to about $30/hour, which is comparable to face-to-face sessions - and you save on gas with not having to drive your student around. Sessions are conducted on a proprietary platform that integrates a whiteboard, chat, file sharing, and website sharing. It really works out quite smoothly.
If you're thinking of signing up, I encourage you to take advantage of the 25-minute free trial, or the offer they're running now for 25 minutes with a TI calculator product code. Click on the link above or to the right to sign up.
If you're interested in online tutoring services, you can also contact me directly. I am willing to provide homework help. My services won't be as neatly packaged as Tutor.com, but they are cheaper (I will charge $10/hour for help done either synchronously - online at the same time - or asynchronously - by email).
