online tutor
In layman terms if there is anything that can be done over the Internet can be done in India and tutoring is one such business. I recently came across a company in India that is 24hourstutor.com. This is a really interesting it offers families in North America and Europe a pretty compelling financial deal: unlimited tutoring in mathematics, English and science for $9.99 per hour.
The tutors conduct online sessions with their students that include the ability to speak to one another via VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and to share an electronic whiteboard that gives a real time classroom feeling.
The deal certainly seems good for customers. Rather than pay local tutors $40 to $50 per hour session, they get it for $9.99 per hour.
Most of its customers come to it via word of mouth.
The company faces some stiff challenges. It’s all so new and unproven. But looking at the speed at which online tutoring companies are growing, it seems the parents are ready to trust a foreigner to teach their children.
