New online platform helps connect parents with teachers of their choice
2022-09-21
Reprogramming children, outsourced.
That was already happening. This is functionally an ad for a product that provides remote private tutoring, which is better than classroom remote teaching but not nearly as good as in-person teaching or especially in-person tutoring.
[FoxNews] A recent report from the Department of Education showed that the reading and math levels of students across the nation declined during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a new online platform is offering parents a solution to help their kids with their unfinished learning and assist students in achieving academic success.

Teachers1on1 is a new online platform that allows parents to choose from a wide selection of certified teachers and tutors to help their children with learning and school work. The platform boasts that over 500 teachers have been approved. All teacher applicants are extensively vetted, which includes a background check and proof of license to teach.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced students and educators to remote learning which many, including Jeff's family and Christenberry, found challenging. Both said the Teachers1on1 interface and the more personalized settings make it a different and better experience than the tools that were typically available under COVID.

"When I would have multiple students in the classroom and then some at home, it was really hard to be able to tell or to make sure that everyone was engaged. You know, being on a screen, especially when their volume's muted, unless I was looking at every single student at one time, was kind of hard when I'm trying to share my screen and all that kind of stuff," Christenberry said. "So, yes, having one student is much easier for the management piece and to make sure that they're understanding and staying engaged because they're expected. They're the only one that is responding versus, you know, half the class that's responding."

Fox News Digital asked Jeff, Woodward, and Christenberry if elected leaders and schools should be pursuing programs like Teachers1on1 to help students who have fallen behind due to the pandemic. All were in agreement that programs like Teachers1on1 would help and that elected officials should enact policies that offer resources to schools or families to pursue this type of one on one tutoring.

"If this was somehow school sponsored and parents didn't have to pay for it, or maybe got a subsidized rate or maybe got a certain dollar amount to use each school year or something like that. That would be amazing," Jeff said. "I think every parent should be using it because they can help with the kid's homework. They can help them really learn deeper in certain areas. I think it would be amazing."
