Teachable Moments: Virtual tutoring

TRANSCRIPT:

For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.

Tutoring is a great way to help students who are struggling in the classroom, but it’s not always an option for schools with staffing and budget issues. As a result, some schools are exploring virtual tutoring as a less-expensive option.

Research shows the most successful virtual tutoring programs require consistent attendance and have live, well-trained tutors who build strong relationships with their students.

While it’s not a perfect substitute for in-person tutoring, virtual options offer schools another way to provide support to students who need it most.

For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.

Rénard Harris is an Associate Professor of Management in the School of Business at the College of Charleston (2022-present). He teaches courses in Leadership and courses in Managing Diversity. His leadership course focuses on the dynamics of effective leadership, positive influence, and clear vision. His Managing Diversity course focuses on exploring culture, experiences, and identity as asset and resource of those less heard and less seen.
