    As everything is virtual, please can I have an opinion of people on the preference between online classroom and regular tutorials?

    Think of it as the difference between pre-recorded and live.

    The advantage of live is that you can ask questions as they come up and get immediate feedback on your work.
    So for students who prefer not to interact in the live setting and work at their own pace, then pre-recorded would be better.
    And for students who prefer to ask and get feedback on their work then live would be better.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I thought there was a tutor present in the online classroom as well in case of questions?

    Hi Ndayong

    The Online Classroom has a discussion forum where you can ask written questions and get replies from the tutors, but you obviously won't get an immediate response as the tutors need to read the queries. With live tutorials, you talk/type directly to the tutor and get an immediate answer there and then - it'll be more interactive.

    Do take a look on our website - and bear in mind that if you buy the live tutorials then you get a vastly reduced price if you then also buy the Online Classroom. You might, for example, consider getting both this time round for one subject, so that you can make a more informed choice next time?
