One-to-one tutoring is highly effective at boosting learning outcomes but, in its traditional format, remains the privilege of an affluent minority. As online learning is set to become part of the ‘new normal’ for schools, virtual tutoring systems are poised to level the playing field. By continuously emphasising engagement and personalised feedback, virtual tutoring stands to benefit all students, regardless of their background. The affordability and universality of these technologies can make them the great equaliser educators are searching for.
