All my students have moved from face-to-face lessons to online video lessons using the Zoom platform and have not turned back since. For them, these have been some of their considerations:
- Mobility – no more need to get to my place. thus saving lots of time and effort travelling.
- Flexibility – some are even logging in from various places, such as, from school, cafes, and anywhere convenient at the moment, and not just from home.
- Longer sessions (when needed) – As long as I am still teaching for the day, they can extend their lessons for some time (for free) or for more time (at a much discounted rate). This is especially useful when they have tests and exams.
- Short consultations (when needed). My regular students can request for very short 15-minute-slot consultations , if they have school work that needs immediate help, at a discounted rate. This has been very useful for the upper secondary and junior college level students. This is also open to non regular students who need help anytime too.
- Safe. Online lessons put a safety cap in many ways, as we can see from the Covid-19 situation we experienced.
- Instant Feedback. Students send me their workings through Whatspp, so, as in face-to-face sessions, I provide instant feedback on their work.
