New online multimedia classroom with voice enables teachers to run their own online tutoring businesses from home, taps into students' love of entertainment and the Web.
Wheat Ridge, CO (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- NationalTutorInstitute.com today introduced a unique website that provides the opportunity for teachers to run their own online tutoring business from home. Using NationalTutorInstitute.com, teachers can tutor as many students as they desire, set their own hours and rates, choose their own student-clients and teach the subjects that interest them the most. On average, teachers can earn $25 to $75 per hour, with potential earnings of $4,000 to $12,000 per month (tutoring 40 hours per week) from the comfort of their homes.
"We're connecting tutors to students with a medium that children love," said Scott Palat, founder of NationalTutorInstitute.com. "In addition to providing children with fun, interactive and stimulating ways to learn online, we're giving teachers the flexibility to create their own online tutoring businesses and earn a full-time income or simply earn extra money by tutoring in the evenings after school, on weekends or even during the summer months."
NationalTutorInstitute.com's fully-trained staff will personally help teachers start their own online tutoring businesses and gather their own student-client bases. The company provides an extensive backend which includes scheduling, management and billing systems. NationalTutorInstitute.com is offering a half-price deal for the first 200 tutors that sign up making the start-up cost only $149 -- a bargain considering that many businesses can cost thousands of dollars or more to start.
"Online tutoring is becoming increasingly popular with both students and teachers," said Shari Nielson, tutor consultant and director of academic affairs, NationalTutorInstitute.com. "What a great opportunity it will be for teachers to establish their own online tutoring businesses now with NationalTutorInstitute.com while the concept is just starting to grow."
The company expects that the majority of its customers will be individual teachers interested in starting their own online tutoring businesses or augmenting their existing salaries. However, school districts and other educational organizations have also expressed their interest in NationalTutorInstitute.com. The company's full array of software management tools makes it simple for schools and organizations to provide online tutoring programs.
Educational obstacles children face:
Many children have few or no options when they don't understand their schoolwork. They may feel uncomfortable asking questions during class for fear of ridicule by their peers, or they may feel intimidated by their teachers. A few hours per week spent with a tutor can be the difference between succeeding and failing for those children. However, many students are too shy or fearful to meet face-to-face with tutors. In many cases, parents can't afford to pay the high rates many professional tutors charge or may be too busy or unable to personally help their kids get the extra attention.
Scott Palat recognized the obstacles children face while student-teaching at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in the Spring of 2003. This inspired him to create an affordable online tutoring solution at www.ehomeworkhelp.com. There, children can get help with their homework from tutors (in most cases actual teachers) who work from their homes utilizing the site's online classroom with voice.
The site was an immediate success for children and tutors, but it could only offer a few dozen online tutoring jobs. That paled in comparison to the thousands of applications Palat received for online tutoring jobs over the past three years.
"After reading through hundreds of online tutor applications I realized that most teachers are underpaid and don't feel like they can teach the way they want to," said Palat. "To meet the demand I expanded my online tutoring service by creating www.OWLonlinetutoring.com and incorporating it as OWL Online Tutoring Inc.
Again, Palat received an overwhelming number of applications from people interested in online tutoring, but they realized they couldn't possibly meet the demands. Palat created NationalTutorInstitute.com to meet the demands of thousands of teachers interested in creating their own online tutoring businesses with minimal start-up cost and maximum return on investment.
Benefits of online tutoring:
The precursors to NationalTutorInstitute.com (www.ehomeworkhelp.com and www.OWLonlinetutoring.com) have demonstrated again and again that online tutoring sessions help children gain a better understanding of challenging concepts. Online tutoring gives teachers the opportunity to totally focus their attention on individual students and tailor their lesson plans based on each child's strengths and weaknesses. Tutors can make positive differences in the lives of children one session at a time.
"Many students feel lost in the shuffle and are grateful to finally receive the one-on-one attention they need," said Nielsen. "The Web is a wonderful, unlimited resource which students and tutors can both tap into for customized learning."
