According to Reuters, an increasing number of U.S. students are “acing” their classes because the Internet suddenly allows even “middle class” students afford highly specialized tutors.
Though U.S. tutors charge $25 to $100 per hour, well beyond the reach of many families (especially for multiple topics), some families are no able to contract with Indian science, engineering, and math “whiz” tutors for as little as $2.50 per hour.
Many of the tutors have masters degrees in their subjects, said Ganesh. On average, they have taught for 10 years. Each undergoes 60 hours of training, including lessons on how to speak in a U.S. accent and how to decipher American slang.
They are schooled on U.S. history and state curricula, and work in mini-call centers or from their homes across India. One operates out of Hong Kong, teaching the Chinese language.
As with other Indian e-tutoring firms such as Growing Stars Inc., students log on to TutorVista’s Web site and are assigned lessons by tutors who communicate using voice-over-Internet technology and an instant messaging window. They share a simulated whiteboard on their computers.
