Studying At The Click Of The Mouse: E-Tuitions Getting Popular

"Though it might get boring to study alone at times, online teaching modules are interactive and make the lessons riveting, which interests the child and makes him or her want to learn further," Bhattacharya told IANS.
But Sumeet Kumar, a teacher at Jayesh Tutorials in southwest Delhi, feels that a student learning alone cannot be fruitful.
"I am not in favour of classrooms where a large number of students are taught using a microphone or otherwise. But neither do I believe that a child learns better when taught alone."
"When studying in a group, students sometimes tend to learn more through the questions asked by fellow mates. An ideal teaching group should comprise six to eight students," said Kumar.
Bhattacharya, however, feels e-tuitions certainly has given students a choice that was not there a couple of years ago.
"There are students who would like the pace to be slow so that the concepts are clear. What these online sites provide is more choices to students. They (students) can go for tuitions as well as for online educational sites. It is up to them. At the end of the day, what matters is understanding," she said.
