Looking for a tutor for your child? Subscribing to this service will allow children to interact one-on-one with a tutor over the Internet from the comfort of home. Using special software, tutors meet on-line with each student for 45 minute sessions. Kids and certified teachers can talk to each other using microphones and headphones. Two animated characters� mouths move on screen as both participants talk. The tutor and student can also communicate using a simulated whiteboard to ask questions that can then be answered using the board. Parents will receive an e-mail recapping each session and will be able to listen to the actual audio file of each meeting. This service offers an interesting alternative for enrichment or remediation. See also Tutornet.com.
