24hourstutor Enters UK Market
March 26, 2008 – 3:33 am24hourstutor.com announces its entry in UK market with its distinguished services that are bound to change the education style of students in UK. “One of the major factors that we have taken in to account is the cost that is incurred by parents in hiring a private tutor, also as the UK market is novice to such concepts it is always profitable to be the first in the industry”, said Rahul Agarwal, CEO 24hourstutor.com. UK has one of the world’s best educational system and attracts thousands of students every year for pursuing the studies. 24hourstutor would be a huge success in UK because of its exceptional quality coupled with the features that it is offering.
The timing of 24hourstutor entering in to UK market couldn’t have been more perfect, we closely followed the schools academic sessions and decided that the Easter time is perhaps the most perfect time to make an entry in to the market. This is the time when students get their last break for the session and the exams are just round the corner.
Online tutoring with its increased acceptance among the education seekers has opened the floodgates for the tutoring service providers. Students are increasingly taking up online tuitions primarily because of the flexibility it offers in terms of prices charged and the 24×7 availability of tutors. “Cost is our main advantage as it would be a major factor for the parents to subscribe their kids with us. We are providing the tutoring with cost as low as £ 4.99 per hour by leveraging the best resources available throughout the world and that gives us a significant advantage over private tutors and center coaching”, said Rahul Agarwal.
Approach
24hourstutor’s online program begins with an assessment test that identifies a student’s strengths and weaknesses, followed by the development of an individual learning plan. The same learning plan is followed by all the tutors. It is reviewed periodically to test its effectiveness. In addition to live one-on-one tutoring, students have access to worksheets, lessons, practice tests, question banks and animations to help them master a subject. 24hourstutor’s virtual classrooms are equipped with voice and chat (instant message) interaction and an electronic whiteboard for use by both student and tutor.
