NetTutor is a comprehensive online tutoring service that provides students with the assistance they need from qualified and experienced tutors. It is the only major online tutoring service that allows each institution to customize every aspect of the service their students will receive. NetTutor is research-based and has a rich history of providing online tutoring and academic support to educational institutions in a variety of disciplines and academic programs. At its core, NetTutor uses the Socratic method, which involves asking questions to identify where the problems are and then providing information and guidance.
If the tutor believes they cannot help the student, they refer them back to the instructor. NetTutor offers online tutoring in many subjects, except Math, English and Writing during the fall and spring semesters. NetTutor meets with all students who ask for help “where they are” with an unwavering commitment to quality and inclusion. It is compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as well as FERPA.
A study conducted at Hampton University in 1999 concluded that NetTutor could effectively support activities such as online office hours. NetTutor was launched in 1996, making it the first private online tutoring service where the student can choose synchronous tutoring, with the tutor and the student simultaneously online, or asynchronous, where the student sends questions and receives an answer through direct messages. Over the next few years, NetTutor has been packaged with higher education textbooks published by John Wiley and Sons, Pearson, Cengage Learning and Bedford, Freeman and Worth. Students can also go online to the NetTutor link and enter a live board to ask the teacher for any explanation of grades in their work or questions related to writing in English.
They can point out two main objectives and any additional information in the NetTutor paper submission form that informs and guides the tutor to a more appropriate and personalized response. Partnering with NetTutor means providing your students with access to an effective online tutoring service that can help them succeed in their studies. With its comprehensive approach to online tutoring, NetTutor is an invaluable resource for students looking for help with their studies.
