WorldWise Tutoring

Online tutoring

Online tutoring, available worldwide.

Discounted online tutoring with the same experienced educators and the same high quality as our in-person tutoring, plus more tutors to choose from and easier scheduling. Live, one-on-one video sessions for students in any country and time zone.

The short answer

WorldWise Tutoring offers live one-on-one online tutoring to students anywhere in the world for academics, test prep, executive functions, applications, and more. Online students get the same needs assessment, personalized planning, hand-matching, high-quality tutoring from experienced educators, and consistent check-ins as in-person students. Moreover, online tutoring is discounted, and it has the added advantages of a wider choice of tutors, easier scheduling, and the option of recorded sessions for later review. And, as our society moves more into a reliance on technology, online tutoring provides an opportunity for growth in related skillsets.

The same high-quality tutoring

Online students work with the same background-checked, college-educated, experienced educators who tutor in person, with the same needs conversation, personalized plan, and check-ins.

Discounted online tutoring

Due to the removal of commuting costs, online tutoring is discounted compared with in-person tutoring, with no change to our personalization and tutor quality.

The best fit, not just the closest tutor

In person, the choice is limited to tutors who live nearby. Online, we match from our full network of educators across multiple states. So the student gets the tutor with the right personality and teaching style as well as the right expertise for the subject, test, application, etc.

Easier scheduling

No commute, no traffic, and no waiting. Sessions don't depend on drive time or on an adult being present, so more times open up, including early mornings, middle of the day, late evenings, and weekends - across all time zones. An online session can easily fit between other commitments, and it's easier to add extra sessions with late notice. This makes it simpler to keep sessions consistent all year despite the student's changing schedule.

Fewer missed sessions

A snow day, a mild cold, a late practice, or a family trip doesn't have to mean a cancelled session. And if a student moves, they can keep the same tutor. Steady, consistent sessions are a big part of what makes tutoring work.

Recorded sessions for later review

Online sessions can be recorded, with AI-summarized notes provided, so a student can easily review an explanation or a worked problem while doing homework or studying for a test. This also allows the parent to see what was covered during each online session in detail.

Interactive, not passive

Tutors trained in effective online tutoring use live video, a shared whiteboard, screen sharing, and shared documents to keep the student working, explaining, and practicing - rather than just watching.

What our online clients say

Online tutoring
"So far things are going well. [My son] says he thinks it's helping. For Biology he's been able to have multiple sessions, one each for the topics that he struggled with over the semester. And for English, he said that after one session, he knows a lot more now for the midterm than he did the first time he was tested on it. He said they watched short videos about each short story and then discussed it afterward and it seems like that was very effective. We've been able to add more sessions more easily because it's virtual. For me, the fact that [our tutor] is available on the weekend is extremely helpful. And it's been really helpful that [our tutor] has been flexible with times and has also made herself available for sessions even on days she did not originally state she was available."

"The first session went well! [My daughter] really enjoyed working with [her tutor] and liked her approach. It was also very easy to connect online, and we appreciated the summary email that [the tutor] sent post-session."

"Okay, now that my daughter is out of high school I can spread the word (I didn't want her to get too busy with my last review...my daughter needed her). Lindsey is THE BEST. Patient, thorough, knowledgeable, uplifting personality...this tutor can't be beat. My daughter is at Purdue and still used her for Calculus (online tutoring) during her freshman year. Lindsey really cares about her students."
Judi S. · parent · May 2018

"Lindsey has been our tutor for over a year. Originally hired to help my tenth and seventh graders with organizational and executive processing issues, her work with us has expanded to cover the whole range of the academic spectrum from calculus and AP chemistry, to essay writing, to test review, to Spanish vocabulary. Indeed there isn't any aspect of our curriculum that she hasn't been able to handle. My boys love her! She makes homework fast and fun! When she is away and the boys still need her assistance, she Skypes - and yes it has been really effective! Part of this effectiveness is due to the fact that she is super technology literate so the boys can share their work with her in a myriad of ways. Also, she requests the material to be covered in advance so that she can make sure she is well prepared before they get online. In the instances where we haven't been able to send her advance information, she gets up to speed quickly. From a professional perspective, Lindsey is always on time, has organized her schedule well in advance, communicates the hours we have agreed upon with follow-up texts, and sends me reminders when appropriate. She also follows through with texts and emails to the boys when they need to progress an assignment from session to session."

    Common questions

    For most students, yes. Studies of online tutoring show the best results when a student meets consistently with a strong tutor, and online makes consistent sessions easier to keep. Our online tutors are the same experienced educators who tutor in person, and sessions keep the student working, explaining, and practicing. If we think in person would work better for a student, we'll say so.
