Absolutely. We have been offering online tutoring for many years, during which time we have fine-tuned and perfected our delivery platform. In fact, with the restrictions due to Coronavirus/Covid-19, online tutoring is far better than having to meet students from six feet away while wearing a mask. Online tutoring allows safe, interactive demonstrations that are simply impossible given the current public health situation.
