Your search for a tutor ends on your computer. All you need is a multimedia PC with a broadband connection and a headset.
TutorVista, an online tutoring brand, is bringing the best teachers from Doon School, Delhi University and the IITs to your home. “We have launched online tuition in India this month,” said Krishnan Ganesh, the TutorVista owner. The now covers CBSE and ICSE subjects and will offer classes to the Madhyamik board in three months.
Log on to www.tutorvista.co.in, choose the subjects and pay online through credit card. Various packages are available, starting Rs 499. Once you are registered online, download a software called Webex, choose a teacher and a tuition slot from various available routines. “Webex enables students to talk to the tutor through the computer’s microphone and take notes,” said Ganesh.
Those not satisfied can contact a helpline.
TutorVista has 620 Indians teaching British and American students and plans to hire 400 more for the Indian operation. The teachers are trained on how to handle online classes and need to pass a test before taking classes online. “The software is easy to handle,” says Sriparna Mitra, who has taught history to 60 students from the UK and US.
Customised courses for GRE, GMAT and TOEFL are next on Ganesh’s agenda.
