Growth in Private Online Tutoring Business


With only a few weeks left until school starts, the tutoring business is gearing up. And it is one industry in America that seems immune to recession. More parents are paying for tutors for their children
According to Steve Pines, executive director of the Education Industry Association, spending on tutors is growing at more than 5 percent a year. This is down from yearly growth of 8 to 10 percent in 2007, when the education research firm EduVentures estimated the size of the tutoring industry at $5 billion to $7 billion a year. But it is still strong, given the state of most people’s personal finances. And Sandi Ayaz, executive director of the National Tutoring Association, said the number of tutors her organization had certified had grown 18 percent in each of the last five years
While tutors once focused on helping children who were falling behind in particular subjects or had a learning disability, they are now being used far more to guide students through particularly tough courses, insure their grades are equal to or above their peers’ and, in the end, polish a child’s college application
People have been pulling back for tutors charging $250 to $400 an hour,” said Sandy Bass, editor and publisher of Private School Insider, an online newsletter. “They’re still using tutors, but they’re searching around for more reasonably priced help. In Manhattan, $85 to $150 is the acceptable range for reasonably priced.”
Mr. Pines of the Education Industry Association said he had seen the same reassessment in the rest of the country, where the average rate was $45 to $65 an hour. Parents who once would have had in-home tutors are going to tutoring centers, while some using the centers have cut back on hours or moved to online-only platforms. He said a rising player in this field is www.HelpWithAssignment.com, an online education company, that charges $90.00 a month for help on an Internet platform.

How can online tutoring change the way America learns?

With the rise in the cost and falling standards of education among schools, is there a way to secure the educational needs of our children? Is it possible for all parents to admit their children in good schools and hiring good tutors? That’s not possible for all the parents and also for all the children. With increasing cost of education it is highly impossible for all children getting admitted in good schools. The solution to this problem is Online Tutoring.

It is one of those services which is being picked up faster. Many people have gone through the long path of admitting their children in good schools and hiring a tutor and changing them often because of the lack of the improvement in their children’s performance. And, finally gave their way to online tutoring.

Benefits of online tutoring:
• The first benefit that your child gets through online tutoring is that he or she doesn’t have to step out of the home. They don’t have to waste so much of their precious time in commuting between school – home – tuition centre everyday. They can study from home and properly utilize the time on concentrating on other important things in life.

• The second benefit is that the average cost of a home tutor can range between $500 to $1,000 per month depending upon the subject and standard. But, an online tutoring can cost as low as $100 to $200 a month. This is a lot of difference.

• The third benefit is that your child will be tutored by the best tutors. The tutors that most tutoring websites hire are highly qualified, Masters, PhDs and professional teachers. Some tutoring sites offer 24/7 tutoring facility. So, there is no question if missing a class.

• This is perhaps one of the most important benefits. Most online tutoring sessions are one-on-one sessions. This one of the best ways to teach a child who is a little hesitant in raising doubts in a regular class. It helps them grasp the subject so well that most children get use to the particular tutor who tutors them and perform best in their supervision.

With the above benefits, online tutoring is proven to be one of the best ways of tutoring children. Not only children but also teenagers and older students are finding it easy and convenient. Soon the entire education system might change its course from conventional classrooms to virtual classrooms in the years to come.
