Tomer Grassiany has developed a solution for increasing demand in private academic tutoring worldwide. Since July 2007, Mathlessons.com has offered tutors and students a solution for finding clients and teachers. The easy-to-use platform has attracted hundreds of experienced subject and test-prep math tutors from around the world. According to Grassiany, Mathlessons.com is in the process of becoming the world’s largest and most diverse math tutoring directory.
With fewer job opportunities, students that may not have considered school in the past are turning to secondary education as an alternative. Students have responded to this increased demand in education by stepping up their preparation and studying strategies as college and high school application season approaches. This education boom will precipitate an even more competitive college and high school admissions process. While the best study method is often diligent, independent study, advanced teaching strategies have given students an upper-hand in test-taking and school-work. Mathlessons.com aims to offer students variety, ensuring they choose an appropriate tutor.
Wen, a California-based math tutor and mathlessons.com tutor, has successfully developed a steady client-flow using mathlessons.com. Several “students found me through it,” he explains. “Please keep up the great work!” he continues happily. Mathlessons.com graduates seem to be enthusiastic about being able to choose a private tutor from a large database. Traffic has been steadily increasing since its inception. Tomer attributes his success to the company’s mission. By providing an “easy-to-use platform for teachers and tutors to advertise their services” tutors keep returning in order to expand, and clients return because of the variety in subjects, strategies, and price.
Last year over 5 million students took the SAT, Regents, and other standardized exams that test math proficiency. As the importance of SAT scores in the college admissions process continues to grow, so does the demand for private tutoring and test-prep services. More and more students are applying to college today than ever before.
College admissions officers are putting increased emphasis on candidates' grades and profiles. Standardized exams give students the opportunity to show off their abilities to complete college and high school-level coursework. Be sure to choose only the most passionate and well-trained tutor when making your selection. See that their approaches make sense to you and that their teaching strategies work.
