Yes, Our advanced virtual classroom application lets your child and teacher speak naturally to each other and work through lessons together using a shared whiteboard with pen-mouse and keyboard input. The internet technologies replicate the real world personal tutoring sessions online. The teacher and the student have two-way audio communication using special hands-free headsets with microphones, hooked up to their respective computers. They share the same electronic whiteboard, and exchange questions and answers in writing, which are displayed on both their computer screens. Though they are not physically sitting face to face, a real time one-to-one environment is created. |

An achievement counselor will interact with your child and perform an online assessment test and place him with the appropriate tutor. |
 |
| |
Based on the results of the online assessment test, the Achievement counselor works with the teacher and prepares an individually tailored curriculum for each child. Our tutors assess and help to strengthen any areas of weaknesses. We focus on what the child doesn’t know, and reinforce what has already been learned. Our curriculum is personalized to challenge each child’s unique skill level. After mastering current grade level skills, they can take it up a notch and challenge the next grade level. As children progress, we will continually upgrade the curriculum so their scholastic skills continue to improve. |

We will maintain an online Progress Report of your child that is password protected and can be accessed by the child, parent and tutor. If you require we can send you a printed progress report card by mail/email. |

Your child will be able to write his homework on his whiteboard, which is viewed simultaneously by his tutor. The tutor would interact via voice and whiteboard to help the child with his homework problems. |

The following are the minimum required for you to have online tutoring
1. A PC (PentiumII) with Windows 2000 or Windows XP with sound card
2. One USB port
3. An Internet Service Provider (ISP)
4. High-speed connection such as DSL or Broadband connection is required for best performance.
A 56K modem dialup connection is okay but performance will depend on the
traffic with your Internet provider, which could slow down the interaction with the tutor.

Parents can be as involved with this program as their schedule permits them to be. Since the tutoring takes place in the comfort of their home they are free to interact with the tutor or counselor as they feel the need. We expect the parent to provide a quiet learning environment in their home while the tutoring session is in progress.
In the beginning parents can be present with their children to see the quality of training and to assure themselves of the quality of the tutoring sessions. We anticipate that this need will diminish beyond the first few tutoring sessions.
