2. How will my child be able to use your advanced software ?
Well if you are an anxious parent of a 6th grader who is thinking right now that how would your child be able to use this advanced technology let alone learning through it .
Relax, this software is really simple to use. Our software has been designed to make learning process very natural ( in fact more easy and effective than conventional method of teaching ). It allows the student and the teacher to have :
- a normal one on one verbal communication.
- a normal one on one visual and textual communication.
Verbal Communication: The audio feature allows the users to talk normally to each other using a speaker and a microphone ( use of headphones with mike further improves the ease of use )
Visual and Textual Communication: The inbuilt Whiteboard feature of this software allows the student and the maths tutor to write or draw naturally as one does on a sheet of paper.
Well if you are wondering what Whiteboard is, it is simply a white screen that is mutually shared by the student and his math online tutor. Whatever the math tutor writes at his end can be seen by the student from his and vice versa. To write on it a student can use his own handwriting by moving the mouse ( a pen mouse with a tablet can make the writing process even more natural ). He can also type in the text. Indeed it is quite a fun to use and children love to fiddle with it.

7. Will the Syllabus be same as that in my school ?
After making the student understand the theory and the concept of a topic we try to adhere to the questions in the Textbook prescribed by his school. The idea is to give him a streamlined knowledge in a systematic manner and not a scattered one.
Though from time to time we do give him our own compilation of important questions to give him an edge in Exams. We provide only useful and relevant knowledge to the student that helps him master his School Syllabus and excel in his Maths Exam.

Once you have setup our Chat Software on your computer ( see HOW IT WORKS page for more details ) just send us an email saying that you are Ready Now. We will then schedule a class at a convenient time for you. Make sure you remain online at that time and the teacher will initiate the session .
Once the student has enrolled, the class will be scheduled on a regular basis ( 3 Days a week ) at the convenient time you choose.
