Online Tutorials is Really a Benefit for Students

         I refer to the article “Perak starts online tutorials for students” (New Straits Times, February 25) as reported by Jaspal Singh.

           After going through the article, I do agree with Perak’s decision to starts using online tutorial as the addition to the school system.  It makes the learning process easier as students can learn through online videos. “And since the whole learning experience uses the Internet, students can access the online tutoring from home or other Internet connected spots.” said by Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Menteri Besar of Perak. I really support Zambry decision as it will encourage students to learn using Internet.

            As we know, students from primary and secondary school are very keen into technology. They have been exposed to it since they were kid. So by adding online tutorial as a part of learning method, it will enhance their interest in learning. Instead of going through usual learning process in school, they can have an easy access on certain tough subjects by videos provided.

            Besides, I also support this programme as it is a part of additional learning method, where if they don’t understand with the videos, they can ask their teachers instead in school. During my school times, I make used of Astro Tutor TV as an alternative learning method. It is similar with the online tutorials where it is part of a technology that helps students to learn. Students nowadays are very fortunate as there were abundance methods of learning offered.

            However, parents and teachers should not be worried much if their children or students unable to concentrate when using online tutorial as the parents can observe them and the teachers still can track the lessons watched by the students. Using video will encourage students in learning process and it is easier for them to absorb information. Star Vitalnet chief executive officer, Sunny Yee is really supportive in helping students to cope with their studies by successfully providing this online tutorials programme thus proven his dedication on assisting students to learn.

To conclude, I believe that online tutorial will enhance the student’s academic performance. Students who struggled in their studies will get benefits through this programme. I really hope that this ezlearn2u programme will be implemented nationwide.
