What is this website all about? This website is about utilizing specific, easy-to-use and leading-edge technology to provide total learning. Research has shown four components to learning - instructional and demonstrative, active and participatory, collaborative, and individual study. Tutorcentral includes instructional and participatory tutoring providing access to the highest quality tutors locally (face-to-face) or remotely using our video conferencing and whiteboard tools; collaborative whereby students can set up their own online study groups in our chat rooms or post questions and answers on the messageboards, individual study through the multitude of research pages, contents, and links created by TutorCentral tutors for offline study. The aim is to obtain significant grade improvement for college or high school students. TutorCentral is also used for studying professional, non-academic, and vocational subjects as well as for consultative learning.
