What areas of work await us DisTTutor in 2014?
Prior to this, the company spent a lot of time creating and developing distance learning methods, but none of the methods will work if there are no convenient technical means for conducting online classes. That is why we focus on the development of convenient services for online teachers. We also plan to improve the system of existing distance courses and bringing them to the realities of the market.

Record.
I have been working at dist-tutor.info for 3.5 years now. I like that managers ask the students who applied in great detail about why they need a tutor, what is the current level of the student, how many classes are planned, at what time, etc. This helps to better understand whether this particular tutor should take this particular order. I wish there was more detailed clarification...
Possibly high fees. However, they pay off.

Qualified, always ready to help, provide moral and technical support to the company's employees. I bow to you for a company that can enable the teacher to fully realize his creative abilities, teach and learn himself. This is happiness for a teacher who loves his job!
The only thing that confuses is information about failed orders, which affects the rating of the teacher. After all, these orders did not take place through no fault of his.

I am glad that there is a company that gave me the opportunity to work from home (I have Small child). I make my own schedule. Students are constantly offered, you will not be left without work. Convenient site, blackboard for working with students. The administration and managers of the company respond in a timely manner.
Many Russian schoolchildren have already seen from their own experience that studying remotely is convenient, profitable and interesting. About the features of distance learning, we asked to tell Anna Vladimirovna Osankina, online tutor of the Russian language.
A. V. Osankina, online tutor of the Russian language
I started distance learning for schoolchildren about five years ago, when the company was formed Dist-tutor is an online service for those who want to study remotely. Here I want to talk about the pros and cons of distance learning, which I saw during my work.
pros
I will not talk about saving time on the road and the nerves of parents. I will talk about how classes with a remote tutor go.
Anatomy of a distance lesson
I taught my first lessons via Skype using the whiteboard IDroo. Over time, the programmers of our company created a special platform for distance learning - DistTutor Virtual Classroom, it turned out to be much more convenient than IDroo. The student and I see each other on the screen and communicate, as in a normal, face-to-face lesson. The great advantage of the platform is interactive board: what the student writes on the board is synchronously displayed on my screen - this allows me to constantly control the student, which is not always possible in a face-to-face lesson. And vice versa: what I write, the student immediately sees, that is, the lesson takes place as in a regular class, only individually and at home.
After class, I send a screenshot of the board so that the child can better understand everything that we went through. By the way, in full-time lessons I always lacked a banal school board - this is a significant minus of full-time teaching, in any case, the Russian language.
On the platform, except for the tool Text, with which you can type texts, there is Pencil- they can write by hand using a graphics tablet, although it is not at all necessary to buy it: many students do analysis of the Russian language with an ordinary mouse. Very handy tool Line, which allows you to underline with one click - there is a wavy line, dotted line, dot-dash.
Various types of files can be uploaded to the board - presentations, pictures, text files, videos, etc., which helps to improve the student's perception of the material, diversifies the lesson.
It is interesting!
Modern children who grew up at the computer are interested in mastering Information Technology. When we switched to a new platform, the guys were delighted!
Of course, there are many platforms for learning now. But the advantage of our platform is that each tutor has the opportunity to contact the developers. If a student is uncomfortable doing something on the board, I write about it to the programmers, and they fix the problem.
Checking homework
Another advantage of distance learning is that the student can send me homework before the start of the next lesson. I upload the completed exercise to the board, and we start the lesson by analyzing it, repeating the material covered along the way - in this case, the child, as a rule, finds his own mistakes.
Lesson on a tablet? Why not?
This fact also speaks in favor of distance learning. One of my students, Maxim, wanted to study from a tablet, although he also had a computer. Now our programmers are preparing a version of the platform for Android, but last year it was not yet available. I had to conduct lessons via Skype - I wanted the student to be comfortable. Classes were held using instant messages and screen sharing. GIA Maxim passed on "4".
Minuses
The only disadvantage of distance learning, I think poor quality sound. It happens that the student and I seem to hear each other well, but in parallel there is a strong background noise. In such cases, I refuse classes - I do not want to waste the student's time and discredit distance learning. But I had few such students. So before turning to remote tutor, I advise you to check the quality of the Skype connection with your friends.
Learning for the future
Thus, distance learning, like everything new, has pros and cons, but, from my point of view, there are much more advantages. Five years ago, I completely abandoned full-time tutoring in favor of remote tutoring, despite the lower cost of lessons, as I see its clear advantages. Of course, everything new causes distrust: as Kabanikha from A. N. Ostrovsky’s play “Thunderstorm” said about the trains that had just appeared, “even if you shower me with gold, I won’t go.” And I am sure that over time, remote tutoring will completely replace face-to-face tutoring.
