Online tutoring? Not sure yet, but would love to hear your thoughts

Kristen from NJ was the third person in as many weeks to ask about Tutor.com and how it compares to other sites like it. The answer? Well, I'm still not completely sure.

I did a bit of research and, after sorting through a pile of blog articles, found this really good story from the New York Times a couple weeks ago.

It talks about a few of the different online tutoring sites that are currently out there, and ultimately claims tutor.com was (or at least seemed to be) the easiest among them.

I think the next step for me is going to be checking out their free trial offer. 25 free minutes is certainly enough to get a feel for it, and I'll be reporting back with my progress. I wonder if they can help me with my Zinch homework…

In the meantime, have any of you tried it or any of the other online tutoring companies? If so, what did you think?
