Online or in-person tutoring: which to choose in 2026?

Direct answer: with the same teacher, a well-equipped online lesson is as effective as in-person for most students from age 13 — and it widens teacher choice dramatically. In-person remains better for younger children and some ADHD profiles. Online advantages: teacher choice, regularity, written traces, logistics. Price note: only at-home lessons qualify for the French 50% tax credit. Three questions to ask before choosing, and a hybrid start (office in Paris 16 then online) is possible.
