Home Tutoring Plus offers both in-home and online tutoring. In both situations, our effective, professional tutoring is tailored to your goals and what your students need to reach them. With both forms of tutoring, one-on-one appointments are made with the same teacher and a positive working relationship develops.
What are the Advantages of In-Home Tutoring over Online?
All students can benefit from our in-home tutoring. Sharing the students’ books and worksheets is simple. For some students, the interpersonal relationship with the tutor is especially important. It is often easier for a student and tutor to relate to each other when the tutor comes to the student’s home.

How Does Online Tutoring Work?
Our California teachers and students typically meet online at our customized whiteboard. Much like a teacher and student using the same physical whiteboard, they can each see what the other is writing and drawing. A mouse or a writing tablet can be used. They talk to each other over the internet or, if the student prefers, over the phone. The teacher and student can collaborate on documents that they’ve email or uploaded. Teachers have copies of the students’ books when possible. Students can benefit from the rich curriculum that is available on the web.
Online tutoring is easier on the budget and especially useful to college-bound students as they sharpen their computer and internet skills. Rather than the one hour minimum per session required by in-home tutoring, with online tutoring the hour can be used in several short sessions. Time is logged by the minute to make the most use of your budget.
