Online Tutoring Advances in the Post-Pandemic World

Abstract

Tutoring has always had an important role in the education of children. After COVID-19 interrupted the education system and as schools closed and learning moved online, the landscape of education changed. Not only were there short-term changes in education, but major changes occurred in how we utilized the online environment for learning. Tutoring also took on a different look as virtual tutoring became the only option as social distancing took hold. As we have emerged from the COVID era, online tutoring has only increased in popularity. With more children behind learning targets and online learning offering numerous advantages, online tutoring demand has skyrocketed. This chapter takes a careful look at how we got to this point for online tutoring and explores what it looks like in more detail. Finally, for those looking to better understand online tutoring, this chapter provides a clear starting point.
