In addition to personalized instruction at home, Polyglot Tutoring also offers interactive live, online tutoring for students where you will speak and work with teachers in real time. Why? Because it is our goal to be the most beneficial and efficient tutor. Online sessions are conducted in the same manner as face-to-face sessions: i.e. individualized tutoring sessions based on a thorough assessment of students' needs, abilities, and goals.
Online Sessions will be done through Elluminate virtual classrooms.
About Elluminate and features offered in the classroom:
"Elluminate’s collaboration environment enables the delivery of live, online learning, training, coaching, mentoring, and meeting. Effectiveness is increased by engaging participants with the ability to talk over the Internet (with full, 2-way audio), exchange text messages, display live video, share whiteboards, multimedia files, and applications—all in one intuitive, graphical interface.
Unlike the Internet, Elluminate Live! is built specifically for live, multimedia collaboration. The unique Collaborative Communications Framework (CCF) automatically ensures that everything is in the right place at the right time. Whether you have a dial-up modem or a high-speed LAN, you get the same superior quality, high performance, and dependability—with no lag time or garbled communication. So you can focus on content, not technology."
Advantages of online tutoring:
- You are over-scheduled and wish to have a simple in and out session.
- You travel a lot and are not always in town or in your home for scheduled sessions but still wish to fit learning a new language into your busy schedule
- You would like to save money
Your first lesson will consist of a level evaluation and setting of goals.
After each session, your tutor will send you an email update with information about what was covered during the last lesson with any additional work pages discussed during the lesson.
