The world is moving towards resorting to complementary means to curricula, which are represented in courses and private lessons. Simply put, the progress of science and the diversity of the subjects that individuals wish to study are diverse and varied to a large extent. Based on this, distinct methods have emerged to provide information to those who desire knowledge and learning, such as the availability of lectures via the Internet after studying was done in traditional ways in the form of an educational center where students register attendance.
Recently, the rate of individuals resorting to distance learning programs has increased. Online teaching has proven effective and the strengths and weaknesses of using educational platforms have been identified through surveys. Accordingly, educational platforms have increased through search engines as a flexible and effective tool for receiving knowledge.
There are also some strengths and weaknesses of online educational platforms. Therefore, we will explain how we used this information to develop our online educational system that focuses on serving our students at all levels of their education.
Advantages and Benefits of Online Education (Online Tutoring)
- Students in schools and universities are now using online learning. Increasingly, this approach to education must be adopted to ensure a better future for students.
-
Unlike the traditional education system, online teaching is less expensive in its tuition fees.
-
Due to the fact that teachers move around extensively due to the nature of their academic careers, this causes irregularity in the tuition fees charged. This problem can be completely overcome online. What is worth mentioning here is that the relationship between the student and the teacher will become stronger and more solid.

What are the limitations of online study?
- If students do not have access to mobile phones or laptops, it is impossible for them to transfer and exchange information, take notes, and participate effectively among other students.
- Students need some knowledge of IT, which means it is not always suitable for younger children such as KG.
-
Students must have a strong internet connection. They must be able to download and use the software designed to view the educational content.
-
For analytical questions that require long or detailed answers or calculations done on paper, online learning does not work well.
-
If the student is the type who needs motivation or the disorganized type who fails to attend the educational programs, the teacher cannot force or encourage them to attend. In such a case, parents will have a big role in making sure that their children are online when they should be.
-
With online education , parents do not meet their children's teachers face to face; thus, the parent-teacher relationship has diminished. For many parents, this is an important part of the education process.
-
A teacher’s intuition is crucial to understanding and assessing a student’s situation. If a teacher cannot see how a student solves a problem, it is difficult to understand their thinking and adjust it if necessary. It is also noted that the situation increases the likelihood that a student will get the right answer, despite using the wrong methods in the calculation. Even watching a student move their pen across the paper can help the teacher understand how they solve and how they think about it.
-
Students and teachers don't like talking to people they can't see - even if it's through a computer screen.
Barriers to e-learning
There are more barriers to e-learning that need to be studied and addressed. Check out the article What are the barriers to using e-learning?
These surveys helped us a lot in adopting the idea of providing remote private lessons in the UAE, through the Madrasa.com educational platform. Madrasa.com platform relied in its curricula on bridging the obstacles faced by students and teachers alike.
-
Classes are broadcast via video call between students and the teacher, so the student can understand the lesson better.
-
Teachers will ask students to email back their assignment, or group questions about difficult parts that need to be understood again.
-
The teacher will then email a copy of his notes before the next lesson, and answer those questions verbally. This is an excellent solution to the problem of effective communication between teacher and student.
-
There will be a periodic review with parents to discuss the students’ conditions and solve the problems facing the students, whether the problem is related to the platform itself or to the student himself if he is not academically disciplined.
E-learning in the time of Corona COVID-19
In the past few months, there has been a strong trend towards distance learning and a particular focus on private lessons to protect students from the novel coronavirus. Therefore, the importance of private lessons online has recently doubled in all countries of the world. Therefore, we have been keen to support our children, students of the UAE, by establishing the first Emirati national company to reduce the burden of private lessons on students in all grades.
Madrasa.com also seeks to provide private lessons to students through qualified teachers only who have the ability to improve the student's educational level. Thus, skilled teachers can assess the educational needs of each child individually and determine their comprehension capacity and the speed of their response necessary to achieve the desired results.
We also make sure, at Al-Madrasa.com, to provide all private lessons at competitive prices, in addition to many offers, from which you can choose what suits you.
The lessons and courses are delivered by highly qualified teachers and each teacher is individually checked to see if they are qualified enough to teach our children. There are no geographical restrictions and teachers do not spend valuable time travelling to give lessons.
