GlobalScholar.com Presents Online Tutoring 2.0
Monday, January 21st, 2008First off, I detest the term “2.0″. It is overused and then some. If the term was being abused last year, then this year the term is being subject to abuse 2.0…
Nonetheless, I feel the need to use the term in this current scenario. I didn’t want to. But alas I have no choice in the matter!
GlobalScholar.com is an online tutoring site. And while there are similar sites of this genre, GlobalScholar.com is truly unique for many reasons, several of which I will enumerate off the cuff.
On GlobalScholar.com the student and parent have the option to choose an online tutor based on:
1) availability
2) price
3) experience
4) ratings & reviews
Unlike a typical situation where you walk into a brick and mortar tutoring establishment and are presented with a tutor, GlobalScholar.com gives you the freedom to choose who you want as a tutor. Unlike TutorVista.com which offers tutors in India and relies on an off shoring business model, on GlobalScholar.com you can choose a tutor who lives in the USA.
GlobalScholar.com also offers a variety of tutoring models.
1) Instant Tutoring - this is the on-demand version of tutoring
2) Scheduled Tutoring - this is the scheduled version of tutoring
3) Homework Help - this is an asynchronous tutoring model
4) Self-Guided Courses - this is content based tutoring
Hope you enjoyed the post. Will do my best to keep you informed!
