Online Tutoring vs. In-Person: The Benefits of Learning English Online
Ewelina Fudala-Mrówka
Have you ever dreamed of learning English in comfy sweatpants without leaving your home? If so, online tutoring is for you! Let’s explore why online English lessons are becoming increasingly popular and the benefits of learning via the internet, both individually and in small groups.
Why Choose Online Lessons?
- Access to the Best Teachers Forget the limited choice of local teachers. Online learning gives you access to the best tutors from around the world! You can choose a teacher who uses modern teaching methods and adapts to your learning style. You select from thousands of available teachers, not just a handful in your area. It's like having the entire world of teachers at your fingertips!
- Time and Energy Savings Who likes sitting in traffic or waiting for a late bus? With online lessons, you save time and energy while reducing your carbon footprint. And what will you do with the saved time? Maybe a nap, maybe extra study – the choice is yours!
- Flexibility and Comfort Learning in sweatpants in your favorite chair? Or perhaps at a café with a delicious cup of coffee? Online lessons offer unlimited flexibility. You can learn from anywhere – home, park, or even the beach if you have a good connection! A change of scenery can be a great way to boost creativity and engagement in learning.
Easy Communication
With platforms like Google Meet, Skype, or Zoom, communication between teacher and student (or a small group) is a breeze:
- Sending Links and Materials: Teachers can instantly send links to websites with theory and exercises, PDF materials, and other educational resources.
- Screen Sharing: Teachers can share their screen to show presentations, tasks, or other materials.
- Chat Box: Students can ask questions and practice spelling, and teachers can immediately check and correct mistakes.
- Lessons During Illness: When a student is sick, they don't have to miss lessons or worry about spreading germs. Online lessons from bed – priceless!
Learning in Small Groups
Online lessons in small groups also have unique benefits. You can learn with friends, make new connections, and benefit from group interactions. Discussions, joint exercises, and mutual support are just a few of the advantages of group learning.
My Experience with Online Teaching
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I primarily conducted in-person English lessons, with students traveling to me. During the pandemic, we were forced to switch to online learning. To my surprise, after the restrictions were lifted, almost all my students requested to continue with online lessons. This is the best proof that online tutoring wins!
Conclusion
Online English lessons are not just modern but also convenient. Access to the best teachers, time and energy savings, flexibility, and comfort – these are just a few of the many benefits. Additionally, easy communication and the possibility of learning in small groups make online lessons as effective as in-person ones. My experience shows that students appreciate these benefits and eagerly choose to learn via the internet. Try it yourself and see that online learning is a hit!
