In terms of learning and teaching, the proliferation of technology in the education field has brought about useful developments and trends to facilitate learning.<\/p>\n<p>At Superstar Teacher, we are constantly making attempts to innovate and provide value-added features to our program. This way, we hope to make learning through our platform a much more comprehensive and enjoyable process. Since the launch of our <strong>Instant Homework Help <\/strong>feature<strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0we are pleased with the outcomes and the impact it has brought to our students and their parents thus far.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog post, we want to share more about our <strong>Instant Homework Help<\/strong> feature and, in a way, mark down this milestone that we have achieved.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>Instant Homework Help<\/strong> feature is introduced to assist students who are struggling with difficult homework questions and have no one to seek help from. With just a single token, a student can <strong>submit a question<\/strong> (<em>of any subject<\/em>) online through the Superstar Teacher platform. The question will be assigned to one of our <strong>online subject-matter experts<\/strong> who will proceed\u00a0to clarify the student\u2019s doubts and work out a full solution to the question.<\/p>\n<p>A step-by-step guide can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/index.php\/2019\/04\/18\/making-learning-easier-with-engage\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Why does it work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"header2\"><strong>\u2713 Convenient and Instantaneous<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As with other features of Superstar Teacher, Instant Homework Help is available 24\/7. This means that a student can simply log into the platform and <strong>receive immediate assistance and clarification<\/strong> on a homework question any time of the day from the comfort of home. This is also what sets us apart from other online homework assistance platforms, which only enable students to post questions without the guarantee that their questions will be answered.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to having to note down and seek help from a tutor or schoolteacher on another day, the feature offers immediate feedback and instant gratification, which can <strong>motivate learning<\/strong> and make homework more <strong>enjoyable and manageable<\/strong>. This is also useful for students whose parents are busy with work or lack the relevant knowledge to help them with their questions.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"header2\"><strong>\u2713 Personalised and Interactive<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Each session takes place between the student and a mentor through a live chat interface. Contrary to the common belief that online learning is far from interactive, Instant Homework Help is tailored to provide a <strong>personalised form of learning<\/strong>. Students can learn at their own pace and focus on individual strengths and weaknesses. They can ask specific questions they have encountered themselves rather than having to rely solely on worked examples and solutions. They can also submit questions related to concepts they are currently learning in school so as to have a better grasp and solidify their understanding of the various topics within the required syllabus.<\/p>\n<p>There is no lack of interaction as our mentors are providing a <strong>guided approach<\/strong> to solving a question, ensuring that the student has fully understood the current step in the solution before moving on to the subsequent step and eventually ending the session once they have fully clarified the student\u2019s doubts. During the session itself, students are able to <strong>raise any doubts<\/strong> and seek further clarification on issues pertaining to the submitted question such that they will have a <strong>full understanding<\/strong> on how to solve the question at the end of the session (<em>rather than simply have the answer<\/em>).<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"header2\"><strong>\u2713 Well-Qualified Mentors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Our mentors are carefully selected through a stringent and thorough process. All applicants have to undergo <strong>background checks<\/strong> that involve phone interviews and verification of educational qualifications. They are also required to sit for various <strong>proficiency tests<\/strong> to test their content knowledge before the application can proceed and be approved. This is to ensure that they possess a strong understanding in the subjects applied for as well as the relevant (<em>and current<\/em>) MOE syllabuses.<\/p>\n<p>Parents can also rest assured that all chat sessions are monitored daily by our team. Sessions during which mentors have not responded accurately and adequately to the questions submitted will be forfeited. Inactive mentors and those who have displayed repeated incompetence will eventually have their accounts terminated. Likewise, mentors who are more active and have received higher ratings from students will be prioritised to receive incoming questions so as to maintain the effectiveness and quality of the platform.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"header2\"><strong>\u2713 Available for All Subjects<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Instant Homework Help is not just limited to subjects students have subscribed to. For instance, questions can be asked in any of the subjects (Math, Science, English and Chinese) even if a student is subscribed to just one.<\/p>\n<p>Our mission has always been to meet the education needs of our students and facilitate comprehensive learning. Through this implementation, we hope that this will help them attain mastery in all subjects on our learning platform.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What are our students and parents saying?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Asking questions remains an integral aspect of learning as it helps to promote curiosity and keeps a student engaged in the pursuit of answers and knowledge. Suffice to say, we are heartened by the feedback, comments and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Testimonials\">testimonials<\/a>\u00a0we have received on how the Instant Homework Help feature has helped to enhance learning.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3127 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Solve-queries-instantly-when-help-is-needed-2-655x1024.png\" alt=\"Instant Homework help\" width=\"655\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Solve-queries-instantly-when-help-is-needed-2-655x1024.png 655w, https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Solve-queries-instantly-when-help-is-needed-2-192x300.png 192w, https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Solve-queries-instantly-when-help-is-needed-2-768x1200.png 768w, https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Solve-queries-instantly-when-help-is-needed-2.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For more information on the\u00a0<strong>Instant Homework Help\u00a0<\/strong>feature, please visit our<strong>\u00a0Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/strong>\u00a0page\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.superstarteacher.com.sg\/FAQHomework\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<script>(function() {\n\twindow.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {\n\t\tlisteners: [],\n\t\tforms: {\n\t\t\ton: function(evt, cb) {\n\t\t\t\twindow.mc4wp.listeners.push(\n\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\t\tevent   : evt,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcallback: cb\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n})();\n<\/script><!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.14.1 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><form id=\"mc4wp-form-1\" class=\"mc4wp-form mc4wp-form-2112 mc4wp-form-theme mc4wp-form-theme-blue\" method=\"post\" data-id=\"2112\" data-name=\"a\" ><div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\"><!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->\r\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/slim-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }\r\n\t\/* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\r\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\r\n\r\n    <div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\r\n\t<label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Receive the latest education news and tips!<\/label>\r\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" class=\"email\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" placeholder=\"email address\" required>\r\n    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->\r\n    <div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"b_33eb32f4b7a724407cfe13b87_87100c9c1a\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"clear\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\"><\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<!--End mc_embed_signup--><\/div><label style=\"display: none !important;\">Leave this field empty if you&#039;re human: <input type=\"text\" name=\"_mc4wp_honeypot\" value=\"\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"off\" \/><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_timestamp\" value=\"1794374476\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_id\" value=\"2112\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_element_id\" value=\"mc4wp-form-1\" \/><div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div><\/form><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin -->\n<h6 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: right;\">Let us be part of your child\u2019s learning journey today!
