• Meetings in the student's home are less stressful for anxious learners, since the environment is familiar.

• There are fewer technological distractions and more directed attention for students who struggle with focus and/or behavior.

• Humans are social, and the bond between tutor and student is stronger and more authentic when meetings are in-person, which is especially important for students who struggle with self-esteem/confidence.

• Non-verbal cues given by the student are more easily read, and the tutor can more effectively show the student that they matter and their feelings have significance.

• Online tutoring can be more flexible for busy students/households.

• Even students who live in remote areas can receive the level of care and instruction they need to excel.

• In addition to typical coursework such as English Language Arts, online instruction requires that students understand and are competent with technology.

• Online sessions can be recorded, so any student can listen/watch the instruction again for any portion they may forget.

• Urgent needs can be addressed more quickly.
