Why online classes?
In our time, online education gains more and more popularity and fortunately is getting more accessible. People get familiar with the different technics and the different tools and platforms are getting user-friendlier. That allows a wide group of people to participate in online courses to fulfill their dreams.
If it is your first time taking online classes, and you are still hesitating and not sure if online learning is for you, please take a few minutes and read my thoughts and experiences about online teaching. You can even find a short video in the section “Class structure”, where I show you how we use Google Classroom and other tools during the classes. And if you still have questions afterward, I am more than happy to answer you if you send me a message using the contact form.
Thank you so much for your trust, and I am looking forward to seeing you in class.
Here are some thoughts and my experiences about the advantages of taking classes online.
Taking online classes enables you to study from anywhere in the world. There is no need to commute from one place to another. So you not only save time, but you also save money as well, which can be spent on other priorities. The virtual classroom is available anywhere with an internet connection. You do not even have to live on the same continent to be able to access the classes! Is it not great?
Via online education, students gain access to very diverse materials and resources, such as apps, different websites, podcasts, videos, YouTube channels, and e-books online as well, and tutors can also integrate other formats like forums or discussions to improve their lessons. This enables a fast, dynamic, and variable learning environment that accelerates learning progress. And this extra content is available at any moment from anywhere, which offers a tailor-made education. Therefore, taking online classes whether in private or group setting allows you to have aven better documentation of the lessons and a huge variety of tools. Diversity is important. And it is important to find the right tools for you. Not too much, the perfect ones for you. And if you prefer to work with a printed book and use your hands to write texts, or do your homework, it is no problem at all. I have students, who prefer to work this way. The key is, it has to suit you.
Online group classes with Noctua Languages are smaller than conventional class sizes, where you can have even 20 learners in one class. In our classes you can not find more than 8 participants, which allows for greater interaction and more feedback between you, your coursemates, and your tutor.
I hope, after reading this short text, you see all the advantages of learning online and are less frightened about using modern techniques. I personally love to teach online and don’t feel it is less personal than in person classes. We can still have that personal touch of the sessions without being together in the same room physically. Actually, the best way to figure out if you like this way of learning or not is to try it out. I will do my best not to disappoint you. Hopefully, see you soon.
