Opting out of the conventional school system and educating children at home is a growing trend, though not without its critics. Although much home tutoring is carried out by parents, some families enlist external help and employ online tutors as a supplement to their own teaching.
Home tutoring is a popular option for families when:
Learners have failed to thrive in traditional schools
Children are unable to attend school because of illness or disability or because they live in a remote area
Families are temporarily living abroad
Parents reject the educational philosophy underpinning locally available services
Online Tutoring has a clear role to play in the home tutoring arena. Though some parents who homeschool are dedicated to accomplishing the task by themselves, and according to their values, many are also open to using online tutors. One of the criticisms of home tutoring is that learners are not exposed to the wider world in the way that ordinary school-goers are. Online tutoring goes part way to addressing that problem. Online tutoring and online learning communities fulfil several of the functions that conventional education offers.
In addition, people in today’s world are busier than ever, and not all parents have the time to devote themselves to their children’s education full-time. Some parents may seek additional help in particular subject areas, or for help in teaching children with different abilities. Online tutors can play an important role in all these scenarios.
Home Tutoring Online
Although some parents devise their own curricula (sometimes within broad guidelines set by the state), many rely on the internet for assistance with courses, curricula and resources. For people seeking online teaching jobs, the home tutoring domain is one worth taking notice of, especially if they have allied experience in this field. Online teaching jobs can be found in course development and materials provision, and in offering online tutoring support to accompany those courses.
In the United States (and some other countries), checks are carried out to ensure that homeschooled learners are progressing suitably and that their education is of an appropriate standard. Online tutors may find opportunities here, in assessing homeschooled children’s knowledge and preparing them for checks and tests.
Homeschooled learners planning to get into university often benefit from assistance from online tutors with test preparation (such as SAT and ACT). For children who are homeschooled in another language, online tutors can assist with English language teaching and English language proficiency testing.
Educators in search of online teaching jobs should be aware that home tutoring differs in some respects from online tutoring, as a supplement to traditional education. Online tutors who are conversant with the issues and challenges that home tutoring presents may find that it is a rewarding avenue to travel.

U didnt critique it, you just summarized what they want to do. To critique it you have to give your opinion on their views and what they want to do. Do you think each is capable of doing what they say they can and do you think any of it will help society's educational position?

I care and want to learn to do synthesis Essay and 10 page Research papers. The community college I’m attaining, they don’t care. God Bless You!
Well its boss to be honest because you are smart! Mine is better though :p oj
First of all – great job!
1) You own up to what happened
2) You provide details of circumstances
Best paragraph: First and foremost, I accept full responsibility for my choices and for my poor performance. SMU gave me an opportunity to achieve a substantial education from a respectable university. Unfortunately, I squandered that opportunity through ignorance and a lack of foresight, a decision I now deeply regret. I have come to understand how valuable a college education truly is.
I know it cut you off, but GREAT JOB! Fingers are crossed that things go smoothly.
I was prepared to become very critical, but I don't think it needs much.
The only thing that bothers me is: "I am not perfect." For some reason it doesn't mesh with me. I would say something like, "Like every college student, I face various challenges if re-admitted and excel with my renewed growth, maturity and respect.
Okay, so that's not great either. You get the jest though.
God Bless You for giving of yourself.
