Online tutoring is gaining momentum and has a market of around $150 million. This number is expected to grow to $2.4 billion within three years (source).

What is Online Tutoring?

Online tutoring refers to the process by which knowledge is imparted from a tutor or knowledge provider or expert to a student or knowledge recipient over the Internet.

Online tutoring has existed for a long time but the model that has gained high acceptance is the real-time tutoring (voice and shared whiteboard). This has the obvious advantage of classroom like feel and it can be personalized for each and every individual.

What are the advantages if any of online tutoring over traditional methods?

  1. 24/7 access to qualified instructors
  2. course is paced according to your comfort level
  3. ability to schedule classes as per your convenience
  4. personalized instructions
  5. no commuting hassles

What are some of the companies in this area?

Thirteen-year old Kathreen of Westchester county, New York, says, “My Indian tutor is very patient and kind. She takes time to explain things to me and I have improved in classes. With online tutoring, we can do sessions at our convenience. We save a lot of time, instead of having to drive up and down”. (Source)

This sure sounds like the way to go with busy professionals and students. Traditional classroom settings target the average student but this model targets YOU. If you are bright you can accelerate and if you are not so bright then you get to spend more time working over your weaknesses to proper better.
