Press Release Summary: Online

Press Release Body: For 12 year old Katherine the computer is her maths teacher!
That in essence means that Katherine is being taught math lessons
by an online tutor. Simply speaking it is just another new age techno
version of one to one
teaching. A person who is qualified enough on a particular subject takes the task to
teach a student who is physically separated from the teacher. This separation may be
of a city, state, country or even continent. The whole point is that it’s done via
internet, through specifically designed softwares, chat rooms, and websites. All
that it needs is the student and the teacher with computers enabled with internet.
“I was simply surprised when some one told me to arrange an online tutor for
Katherine to help her in the subjects she was weak in.” says Mrs. Jones, mother of
Katherine. She further adds “I thought of giving it a try and it did work in our
case. In addition I saved my hard earned money too!”
The model of online tutoring is working wonders for a gamut of children who are not
very confident in the real classroom environment. The online model gives the student
advantages like convenience, easy access, and cost effectiveness. The student has
the flexibility to study at his own time and his own place. “There are many students
who are shy, they are hesitant to talk or ask questions in front of the class for
the fear of being ridiculed, and these are the students
that can be dealt with very
well with this online tutoring model.” These are the words of Dr. John Ontario, a
leading child psychologist based at USA. “Moreover online tutoring offers the
advantage of individual attention at the cost of classroom tutoring.” He adds.
The No child left behind act has been a sure engine for the online tutoring train!
Since the law came into force the segment has seen tremendous growth. Schools are
enrolling in bulk to these online
education services providers. Most of the online
tutoring work is being outsourced today to countries like India,
China, and Malaysia
where cheap and well qualified workforce is available. Companies like TransWebTutors
(www.transwebtutors.com), growing stars, tutor vista, TransTutors.com etc. are
already established names in this online tutoring industry. They hire qualified
professionals from countries like India and then train them according to American
curriculum, culture and accent and their tutoring workforce is ready to go! Moreover
they are not just offering tuitions to K12 students but to pre-college
and college
level students also. They are also offering services for various
test preparations
like SAT, GRE, TOEFL, GMAT etc, all this online at much reduced prices than their
American counterparts. Companies like TransWebTutors are giving
unlimited tutoring
option for as low as $ 99 per month. What more can one asks for?
The online tutoring industry has revolutionized the American educational system and
it’s just the beginning. Outsourcing the business to Asian countries has helped
these businesses offer good quality at the least costs. The industry will lead the
future for education starved American students. It will be a boon for people who can
not afford the services of a costly private tutor but yet desire a good quality
education for their child. Online tutoring is there is to help!
