e learning
The outsourcing of business services like financing, banking, telecommunication etc has seen a huge growth in countries like India, Philippines and Israel. Well moving beyond all this a new type of outsourcing boom is taking over the conventional fields of outsourcing and that is the outsourcing of online tutoring services. Today some of the big names in online tutoring industry in USA are hiring teachers from India. India has an abundance of highly qualified teachers. Though online tutoring is still a new concept in India but many companies are coming up with their own online tutoring portals, one such company that I came across is 24hourstutor.com. It is an online tutoring company that provide 24 hours assistance to the students, they use sophisticated software that makes the teaching so easy and real. They provide personalized one-on-tutoring for increasing the student’s learning capability and it comes in no price as compared to the prices charged in USA by a tutor for personalized tutoring. It's not that the U.S. education system is not good. It's just that it's impossible to give personalized education at an affordable cost unless you use technology.
The boom comes at a hard time for the U.S. education system: only two-thirds of teenagers graduate from high school, a number that slides to 50% for black Americans and Hispanics, according to government statistics.
China and India are producing the world's largest number of science and engineering graduates -- at least five times as many as the United States, where the number has fallen since the early 1980s.
In USA parents are increasingly using the e-tutoring services provided by many companies such as 24hourstutor.com. Parents are doing whatever they can to give children an edge that can lead to better marks, and a better future, even if it comes with an Indian accent about 14,500 kilometres away.
Companies like 24hourstutor.com are changing the face of personalized tutoring, which offers one-on-one tutoring in subjects ranging from Algebra to Physics for children in grades K-12.
