[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read about this when it was launched and ... I admit it, I was underwhelmed by the tutoring being a chat program.  And also educational videos.  These are not live in person tutoring sessions, nor are they even zoom tutoring sessions.  It's a chat.

I'm sorry to be such a downer and note some parents here are posting their kid had a good experience with it so wtf do I know?  Maybe kids can learn during a chat -- I think for some though that won't be optimal.

Still, though, if you're studying for a test and you're stuck on something and your parents/family can't help, you now suddenly have this other lifeline -- that's a good thing.  Yay![/quote]

I think my problem is calling this service "tutoring."  This is live 27/7 chat support with a trained tutor, but I don't think of chat support or prerecorded videos as tutoring.  Maybe I'm too old school, or just too old.[/quote]

It's for immediate questions, not long-term learning. An "Education Help Desk".  :lol:

I think it still can be useful for many kids. I think it'd be helpful for kids who don't always have a parent at home or friend to call to help answer questions.
