Press Release Summary = The trend of supplementary tutorials started with the Asian
market and traveled through the European countries to reach America. Parents have
started spending vast amounts of wealth on these educational services.

Press Release Body = It is around quarter past 5 in the morning when Ms. Anjali
Maini is all ready to start. She swivels her chair hurriedly to face the computer.
She puts on her headset and says in a slightly American accent "hello Maria, how are
you?" the response appears in real time "I am fine Anjali, what about you?" Anjali
is a 26 year old girl who has been appointed to teach extra lessons for maths to
Maria, who is in the 6th grade, the only point to be noted here is that these
lessons happen over an internet enabled computer. The reason is that while Maria is
based at Malibu, California her online tutor Anjali is placed at New Delhi, India.

It\'s the latest form of outsourcing: tutors in India providing math help to American
children over the Internet. Many companies like TransWebTutors
(www.transwebtutors.com), Brain Fuse, TransTutors and Growing stars are into this
ever growing online tutoring model. The market has stretched tremendously since the
No Child Left Behind Act. The law requires schools identified as "failing" to offer
private tutoring which has meant more business for these online tutoring companies.

"I was very worried when Maria was not performing well in her studies, some of my
friends suggested private tuitions but then we could not afford one." Says Kimble
Jackson, mother of Maria. "All this was until I learned about tutors from India; I
thought of giving it a try and the results are in front of you. From C's and B's
Maria has moved to A's today. All this thanks to online tutoring!"

The teachers are well selected with good academic and teaching records and are
trained well enough to handle the American teenager. So an Indian teacher would not
be surprised when her student calls her by the first name! That's the modern day
education outsourcing.

Tutoring is a huge business, and is expanding. Millions of students in both private
and public schools are using private, one on one tutors as well as education hubs
like Kaplan, Kumon and Princeton Review for supplementary educational needs of
education starved America. What was once linked only to the upper class has now
become a pervasive part of everyday education for everybody.

By means of a simulated whiteboard on their internet enabled computers, and a copy
of the American textbook for the subject to be taught the online tutor guides the
American teenager through the intricacies of subjects like maths, science, English
and what not. And the guidance is not just restricted to K12 studies but also to pre
college level and college level subjects and curriculum. These online tutors also
prepare students for various exams like SAT, GRE, TOEFL, etc.

Homework outsourcing as this is popularly known as these days is driven by cost like
all types of outsourcing models. Companies like TransWebTutors in India charge
American students $15 an hour for private tutoring, contrast this with $50 or more
that their American counterparts charge and you know the reason why online tutoring
is such a huge hit! Online tutoring has risen very much in the recent past and is a
tremendous weapon in the hands of education starved America. It would certainly
emerge as a success and silence everything its critics have to say against it.
