Online tutoring: Industry Outsourced to India

India as the world knows is a leader in outsourcing from quite a long time now. Whether it is the outsourcing of Business process or financial services or Knowledge process, India has proved itself to be the favourite destination for all types of outsourcing.
Recently a new trend of outsourcing is coming from India and that is online tutoring and along with it the jobs for tutors. Companies like 24hourstutor.com, use the Internet to communicate with its clients all over the world and in this case client is someone which refers to students, those who are studying in schools or preparing for competitive exams like SAT, GCSE etc. Students all over the world are being tutored in English, Mathematics or Science, as well as help for competitive tests like SAT, GCSE and GRE.
The concept of e-tutoring is fast becoming a blockbuster among the students and the reason behind this is that online tutoring not only helping the students in their studies through highly qualified and experienced teachers also it is providing them a personalized tutoring in the form of one-on-one tutoring which otherwise is very expensive to afford. Cost has a big influence on parents mind, in US and UK the cost of personalized tutoring is very high for most of the parents to actually afford it, on the other hand online tutoring is bridging that gap and company like 24hourstutor.com is providing one-on-one tutoring at a fraction of cost. The fact that it also cut down your time involved in travelling places for the study purpose makes it more convenient for the parents as well as students.
At $75 per month for unlimited one-on-one tutoring, really 24hourstutor.com is doing a sort of charity. “ Our basic aim is to make personalized tutoring available and affordable to every student in need”, says, Mr. Rahul Agarwal, CEO, 24hourstutor.com.
" Online tutoring is certainly is the future of education and hence tutoring”, he said. “ If you looking for someone to help you at the time of exams or you need explanation in a difficult theory or help you in your homework, online tutors are just a click away to solve all your queries anytime you want”.
Though critics say learning is best when done in a social context, but today’s generation is more computer savvy.
The outsourcing of tutoring is not going to change the country’s economy all together, I think it is over hyped, it will have a very little or almost negligible effect on economy.
