uTutor.me Gives Homeschoolers, Regular Students, and Parents Instant Access to Online Video Lessons from Real Classroom Teachers
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Education website uTutor.me looks to change how tutoring is done by providing 24/7 access to a large video library of Real Lessons from Real Teachers™. With lessons covering elementary, middle and high school math – including algebra, algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus – plus chemistry, physics, history, and more, uTutor.me is an especially valuable resource for homeschoolers.
"Any student can benefit from uTutor.me's lessons. Parents will be glad to know the lessons have been reviewed for safety and are presented with no ads or uncontrolled content," remarked CEO Renato Cataldo. "For everything from help with a single, challenging problem to more ongoing guidance in a difficult subject, the video library of Real Lessons Used in Real Classrooms has what students need to succeed."
uTutor.me's library of video lessons is constantly growing, with teachers adding new material every day. The lessons provide a broad foundation in the key subjects in middle and high school, as well as lessons on niche and specialty subjects like research skills and health. Real Lessons from Real Teachers™ means precisely that – lessons are created by some of the best teachers in the nation, based on their own classroom curricula. Videos are typically 5 to 10 minutes long and can be replayed as often as necessary. Many uTutor.me videos are parts of larger sequences that build around a particular theme.
Unlike most video lesson services, uTutor.me provides a comprehensive toolset enabling students to optimize their experience. For instance, they can create digital notecards to accompany particular lessons. Students can also create their own informal lesson plans by creating custom bookmarks for specific lessons and topics. Among the most useful features of the service is the ability to create and track "I Don't Understand" questions; students can later refer such questions to a parent, tutor, or teacher.
The user interface of uTutor.me is built for quick, easy searching and minimal distraction. Students can find and view lessons in any order, or even see the same topic covered by more than one teacher, exposing them to different teaching styles. From there, they can select a "favorite" based on their own learning style and then easily follow all of that teacher's lessons and courses.
uTutor.me makes life easier for parents as well. Parents who homeschool their children sometimes feel pressure to become multi-disciplinary subject matter experts. Likewise, children attending public school may expect their parents to readily assist with homework assignments, whether or not parents feel comfortable with the subject.
Parents who have traditionally hired private tutors report fantastic results from uTutor.me. The video lessons are often more effective than a tutor since they can be replayed unlimited times. Plus, the cost is much more attractive: a year's access to uTutor.me is less than most single private tutoring sessions. Contrast the whenever, wherever access made possible by uTutor.me with the often inflexible schedules of most tutors, and the advantages are clear.
Lessons are viewable on any device with a broadband connection and the ability to play videos – desktops to smartphones and everything in between. The videos are entirely ad free, a feature made possible by uTutor.me's modest annual fee.
The video lessons from uTutor.me have been proven to help K-12 and homeschooled students reach higher levels of academic achievement, resulting in greater self-confidence. When considering these benefits, uTutor.me represents an invaluable contribution to a student's future success.
