Module 2: What is Online Tutoring?
Online tutoring teachers offer guidance and help to the learners, in some circumstances, grading the students’ assignments is also included in their work. The teachers are likely to interact online with the students during the entire course learning process, but in the case of blended learning, face-to-face tutoring might also occur in certain situations. Usually the teachers will play several different roles; what are they?
