Stepping Stone Tutors Now Offers Online Tutoring

Online, February 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Stepping Stone Tutors now offers online tutoring services for most Math and Science subjects. This new tutoring service is also available on demand for students who might need immediate help with their assignments, projects or day-to-day lessons. Students who already have in-home tutors can take advantage of online tutoring whenever they cannot meet with their tutors in person. An online tutoring session can remedy changes in schedule when unexpected circumstances come up.

Stepping Stone Tutors uses an online whiteboard system, which serves as a virtual classroom for the tutor and the students. Aside from functioning as a visual aid, this online whiteboard also has a chat box where tutors and students can interact.

According to Andrew Cogen, CEO of Stepping Stone Tutors, online tutoring reinforces the lessons learned during classes at school and during in-home tutoring sessions. A typical online tutoring session would be 20 to 30 minutes long. For the best results, students need to spend one to two hours per week with an online tutor in addition to their in-home tutoring sessions.

Registration begins with a free account at Stepping Stone Tutors Online (http://www.steppingstonetutors.com/online_home.php). Students can then purchase time to use on the website. For a demonstration of the online whiteboard system, you can visit http://ssconnect.steppingstonetutors.com/Demo.htm and watch how it works.
