Online Tutorials

I was on the phone with a friend few days back and our topic was back to school blues.

You know...school time again. She needs to wake up early again...and prepare for the kids...and of course the dreaded part (her word)...the tutoring part. I'm guessing because not all of us love to teach or can teach. And second and the most important is that, we are not all subject matter experts. She hates math and she doesn't know how to teach her young ones math and make them love it. She hates math. She might just make them hate it too! Ha!

I'm not a Mom yet and when I become one...I'm not sure if I will have that kind of issue since the IT Guy used to teach in the university and was teaching engineering classes...so maybe he can take care of that?!

Anyway...my friend told me she's happy to know that there are online Math help available. I was like...so you read lesson plans online and study them and hoping to teach your kids the right things? (I asked jokingly and nicely.) Turns out...it was not what I thought it is as she really meant online math tutoring!

So there are online math tutors (even free online math tutoring) in the net. They provide services at a minimal fee and will give your kids 24 x 7 access to their services. So it will be like having a round the clock teacher. How cool is that?! This seems just perfect for kids from kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12).

All because of the internet!
