| Launch of Tutor Without Limits Lets Indian and Pakistan Teachers Teach American Students
Potomac, Maryland, Sept. 1, 2006—With the launch of Tutors Without Limits on September 1st, over 10,000 Indian and Pakistan tutors and teachers are expected to set up their own internet businesses in the next two weeks to teach students in the United States. Indian and Pakistan teachers can start up their own tutoring and teaching business in minutes for free which is why TWL is characterized as the "eBay of teaching." Tutors Without Limits incorporates the new Web 2.0 AJAX technology to create the most advanced learning system for teaching on the internet in a system called the Lesson Board. As one of the first teachers to use the Lesson Board remarked, "This is just like teaching in my classroom!" But it is not just the Lesson Board that grew up this summer, eBay’s Skype technology has matured to where speaking to India from the US is now as clear as a local call in the United States. The flood gates for Educational Services Outsourcing (ESO) are now open. As America starts school in September, parents and students will be able to find help at any time of day or night. US students have been paying $40 USD an hour on average for tutoring but last year, Indian call centers just started offering tutoring services ranging from $14 to $20 an hour. With Tutors Without Limits, tutors will be offering their services directly to students at prices they determine. The TWL marketplace will quickly sort services based on quality, content, qualifications, and recommendations. But it is not just American kids that will benefit from outsourced teaching services--UK, Canada, Japan, and Europe all have a high interest in tutoring. For example, Japan spends more money in education outside the school than they spend on their official school education. |
