Press Release Summary = Outsourcing is here to stay in the online tutoring world. Flexibility in study time, low cost services, high quality education, experiential learning. this is all what American students and their parents want. And this all that American online tutoring companies have resolved to provide by adopting the smart way i.e. outsourcing!
Press Release Body = "It's a war of price and quality. Whoever delivers best quality at least costs, stays, rest struggle for the survival. I got the way out for my business - outsourcing my education services to India! " These are the words of Mr. G. Daniels, owner of a leading American online tutoring company.
Is this really true? Outsourcing is the buzzword today. A life saving tool for some businesses and a stepping-stone to success for some others. American tutoring companies can no longer afford to carry on with a price of $50 per hour for an online tutoring session, when many others are already charging just $20 per hour for the same. The latter can afford to do so because they are smart enough to avail the benefits of outsourcing.
Yes! The bug called 'outsourcing' has also hit the education industry lately. Many online tutoring companies based in India, China, Pakistan and other Asian Countries, are offering low-cost outsourcing options to U.S. based online tutoring companies. It's a widely known fact that these countries have a vast pool of low-cost work force. This combined with developing infrastructure, technology boom and lesser cost of living, gives a cost-edge to Asian companies over American companies. For example in India, companies like Transtutors (www.transtutors.com) have made their mark in the industry by providing high quality education to American students at reasonable low prices. Help in K12 education; pre college and college level studies; preparations for standardised tests like GMAT, GRE, SAT; providing career counselling, developing education content.. you name it and they will deliver it.
A client of Transtutors says: "I could never have imagined the extent of satisfaction that my students and their parents now have in terms of quality they receive from us and prices charged by us. It has all been made possible by outsourcing it to the Indian company which has extremely dedicated teachers and tremendous technology and facilities."
"I don't mind Jack conversing over computer, to somebody thousands of miles away, as long as he loves to study this way" said Mrs Parker, mother of 15 years old Jack. Parents develop this trust on tutoring companies because the tutors across borders have proven to be more efficient and serious about their teaching roles than their American counterparts. Indian companies, for example, employ teachers who have gained specialisation in their respective subjects say Mathematics, Science, English, etc. They are initially trained to soften accent and learn about American culture and slang. It is highly appreciable the way they are able to build rapport with students in the U.S. "I have couple of teachers in India whom I always look for when I study online because they are able to help me in Mathematics Physics, much better than my home tutor" said Arthur, a ninth grader.
"Online studies for my child are like an altogether new hi-tech world where he learns by experimenting with new techniques" says Mr. Jones, father of a fourth grade student. "I'm happy it now costs just $18 per hour. I can now allow him as many hours online as much he needs" he continues happily!
Another factor attached with popularity of online tutoring outsourcing is the difference in time zones. This gives room for flexibility in study hours of students. American students love to study at nights or at their own time, and so the Indian teachers start working early morning to teach them.
