The tutoring service 'Jukusen,' operated by DeltaX Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Tsuyoshi Kuroiwa), has conducted a survey on 'online vs. in-person tutoring' and is pleased to share the summary. 'What is online tutoring actually like?' While the options for online tutoring expanded rapidly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some families may still feel uncertain, wondering, 'Can they really improve through a screen?' or 'Won't they lose focus at home?' Therefore, Jukusen Journal conducted a survey of 100 parents of junior high and high school students who have experienced both online and in-person tutoring regarding their current usage and satisfaction. Looking at the actual usage, the results were: In-person only: 41%, Hybrid (Online + In-person): 40%, Online only: 19%. While in-person only is the most common, the percentage of families using both is almost the same, showing that tutoring is not a simple binary choice.
