Many times, it happens that students cannot catch up with all the Homework and are truly stuck with an Assignment. All they require is a little help to get them through with the assignment. However, this help is not always readily available and more often than not, students are forced to take incomplete assignments back to school. How nice would it be for these students to instantly find help or tutoring and get their concepts right at the very first instance of doubt?

Well, this kind of help is available – in the form of homework help and online tutoring. There is a world of difference between the two. Firstly, let us understand the difference between homework help and online tutoring.

Homework help
Homework help is the assistance required by a student to complete one particular assignment or a particular piece of schoolwork. The standard and the expectations of the students are adhered to. Homework help is usually specific to that particular assignment, chapter or unit of the subject that it belongs to. The requirements are very specific and the tutor must be able to cater to those specific needs. Tutors provide the exact guidance required to complete that assignment or homework. The student can upload an assignment and clearly mention the price for help and the timeline to complete it. The tutor helps the student complete the assignment and gets paid for it too. The next time around, the student has a reference on how to tackle similar assignments and learning happens on the way! They can then complete similar assignments on their own.

For example, a student requiring help with an assignment in mathematics can create an assignment and upload it to a web portal. The tutor who takes up the assignment can then complete the mathematics assignment and the student can communicate with the tutor in case of any issues. Regular tutoring may not be required if the student is stuck on a particular assignment.

Online tutoring
Tutoring is academic support at regular intervals. This could be daily, weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly. Regular tutoring happens with the same tutor every time – session after session. Each session is designed to build upon the last session. This kind of regular tutoring occurs in a particular subject area. It is like a continuation of school – where the student puts in extra hours learning from a tutor.

For example, a student could register for one on one support for a particular subject online. In this arrangement, the number of sessions and the course material is decided upon prior to the beginning of the course.

In short, homework help is a short term ‘help’ to complete an assignment, and online tutoring is a long term arrangement for regular support with a subject.

With homework help, it is possible to get instant support for completing an assignment and ensuring that the student learns on the way too – and never again takes an incomplete task back to school!
