Why We Refuse to
Teach Online
In a world of Zoom calls and "digital fatigue," we have made a bold choice: GetYourTutors is exclusively 100% In-Person. Here is why we believe your child deserves a real teacher, not a screen.
The "Alt-Tab" Problem
The biggest secret of online tutoring? Students lie.
It is incredibly easy for a student to nod at the webcam while playing a game in another window. An in-person tutor sees everything—the screen, the notebook, and the body language. We remove the distractions.
Quick Answer: The "Reality" Gap
Online tutoring is convenient for the agency (low cost, no travel). But is it effective for the student? We choose the harder path of coming to your home because the results are undeniable:
| Feature | Online Tutoring (Zoom) | GetYourTutors (In-Home) |
|---|---|---|
| Engagement | Passive. Easy to zone out. "Zoom Fatigue" is real after a school day. | Active. The tutor is physically present, demanding attention. |
| Feedback | Delayed. The tutor only sees the final answer, not the scribbles. | Instant. We catch the mistake the moment the pen hits the paper. |
| Rapport | Distant. A voice on a screen. Hard to build trust. | Human. A mentor who sits at your table and understands your child's mood. |
1. The "Physicality" of Learning
Especially for Primary students, learning is physical. Dubai schools use Singapore Math.
Maths Needs Touch
We use the CPA Approach (Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract). You cannot hand a child a physical "Numicon" block or a fraction tile through a screen. Our tutors bring these tools to your table.
Handwriting & Motor Skills
You cannot correct a pencil grip via Skype. Our tutors physically guide the hand, correct posture, and ensure neat presentation—skills that are dying in the digital age.
2. Accountability: The "Physical Anchor"
When a tutor enters the home, the energy changes. It signals: "This is focus time."
Online, the child is in the same chair where they watch YouTube. The brain doesn't switch modes. By sitting next to them, our tutors act as a Physical Anchor, grounding the student in the work and preventing the "mental drift" that happens 10 minutes into a video call.
3. We Serve "People," Not "Users"
We believe education is a relationship. A tutor often becomes a role model, a mentor, and a confidence booster. This emotional connection is diluted through pixels.
We are willing to drive through Dubai traffic because we know that 60 minutes of face-to-face time is worth 3 hours of online time.
