Face-to-Face and Online Tutoring Equally Effective, TutorVista.com's President Says - Business Wire 2008
John Stuppy, President of TutorVista.com, the world's leading online tutoring company, presented today at the USDLA 2008 National Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, where he discussed comparisons between face-to-face and online tutoring. Stuppy addressed issues as part of the conference's sixth session track, "Global Perspectives," that focuses on the forces of globalization in K-12 and higher education. In particular, he spoke about a solution that uses global education resources to provide tutoring help wherever and whenever needed. Stuppy also cited numerous studies that have concluded online tutoring is as effective as face-to-face tutoring, identified factors that influence and improve online programs, and offered strategies to replicate and scale successful programs.
