Understanding Freelance Jobs vs. Online One-to-One Sessions: Which to Choose on Tutor DB?
At Tutor DB, we offer two primary ways for clients to work with professionals: Freelance Jobs and Online One-to-One Sessions. Each option has its unique benefits, and the choice between them largely depends on the client's needs and project requirements. This FAQ article will help clarify the differences between these two services and provide guidance on when to choose one over the other.
What is a Freelance Job?
A Freelance Job is a project-based collaboration between a client and a professional. The client provides a detailed description of the project, outlining the goals, deliverables, timeline, and budget. The professional then submits a proposal, and upon agreement, works independently to complete the project. Freelance Jobs are best suited for well-defined, larger-scale projects with clear milestones and deadlines.
What is an Online One-to-One Session?
A: An Online One-to-One Session is a real-time, interactive meeting between a client and a professional. This format is ideal for clients seeking direct assistance, guidance, or collaboration on specific tasks or issues. Sessions can be scheduled for a specific duration, and clients can ask questions, share screens, and collaborate in real-time. One-to-One Sessions are best suited for personalized learning, troubleshooting, or smaller tasks that require immediate attention.
