It will come as no great surprise that many parents are turning to private online tuition as a way of trying to help ensure their children do not fall to far behind in their schooling as a result of school closures. The BBC highlights the trend in the US.
In the San Francisco area in early July, mother of one Lian Chikako Chang started a Facebook group to support local families and teachers who were suddenly facing the prospect of schools not opening in person as planned in mid-August.
The "Pandemic Pods" group, which aims to help with childcare and schooling needs, grew to more than 30,000 members within three weeks, as areas across the US were hit by Covid-19 spikes and more schools decided to stay shut.
And it's not just Facebook parents are turning to. Matchmaking apps and websites have sprung up offering to help parents connect with other families to form "safe" learning pods, or match them with teachers who can give online lessons, dubbed "zutors" (zoom tutors) by one matchmaking service.
Here at ITS we are very experienced in offering online tuition as we have been providing these services since 2012. We also uses a customized online teaching platform combined with a sophisticated LMS (Learning Management System) that offers far superior services to zoom lessons.
