Live online tutoring: worth it when feedback is real
5 min read · updated 2026-09-15
Live online tutoring means a real-time teacher — not a video library. If your child needs accountability and tailored explanation, live wins.
Live vs recorded
Recorded libraries are cheap for motivated teens revising a single topic. Live one-to-one interrupts misconceptions immediately and adapts to the school's scheme of work.
