How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the use and effectiveness of online tutoring services?

Well, little buddy, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult for lots of students to go to school like they normally would. Because of this, many students have been turning to online tutoring services to help them keep up with their studies.

At first, lots of online tutoring services weren't sure how they could help students as effectively as they could in person. Some students have found it hard to focus on their schoolwork at home because there are so many distractions that they don't have in a classroom.

But, after a little bit of time, online tutoring services started to figure out ways to make the experience more like an in-person tutoring session. They added features like video calls, online whiteboards, and screen sharing to mimic the feel of being in a classroom with a tutor.

Another thing that has changed is the timing of when students use online tutoring services. Before the pandemic, students would usually use online tutoring services after school. But now that lots of students are doing schoolwork at home all day, online tutoring services are being used more during the day.

Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic has made online tutoring services more important than ever for students who need extra help with their studies. Although it may not be the same as being in a classroom with a tutor, online tutoring services have adapted to the situation and are helping students stay on track with their schoolwork.
