The longer you read this blog the more you will know just how important I believe the use of technology is to the successful advancement of our education system. I was so excited the other day when I wrote about TutorVista that I did some more looking to see what others have to say about the fantastic tutoring program. Let’s see what others are saying:

• Reviews for tutorvista – They recommend TutorVista and though they point out the price as being high, they also note that the price is for an entire month of tutoring vs the average cost being around $25 an hour for a one on one private tutor.
• Reviews for tutorvista – This review done by teachers, for teachers recommend TutorVista as a powerful online tutoring took and a better and more cost effective solution (especially in small towns) then other learning centers.
• Reviews for tutorvista – Wikipedia shows that though the company initially struggled to gain acceptance given that it was founded by an unknown Indian company, they have now received backing from noted educational materials companies as American Book Company and Pearson.

For a company just out of the start-up phase TutorVista is rapidly gained acceptance in Education community. Their combination of technologies is what I think gives them the edge. Making use of internet phone for one on one conversations; online collaborative whiteboard software; and internet chat technology is a giant leap in the right direction for our education system. I believe that the more we embrace the possibilities presented to us by technology the more we can dramatically advance the education system in America. But that’s just my opinion – do some looking then let me know what you think.

I know this will shock you but I am a big geek! I LOVE technology especially internet technology. I think it is incredible when people find practical internet applications for things we do everyday. The exciting new company I have found today that you HAVE to try is TutorVista. Say you are a college student and you need help with Statistics or Calculus. Or maybe you are a high school student needing help with Algebra or Geometry. There are a ton of aids online where you can read and do problems in these subjects but TutorVista has used the brilliant idea of using internet interactivity to truly tutor a person where they are.

The concept is so simple and yet so brilliant. Say you need Math Homework Help. You interact live with a tutor via chat as well as an interactive whiteboard. Your tutor can see the work you are doing (as in the specific problem you are working on and how you are getting (or not getting) your answers). They can also write on the shared whiteboard and show you where you made your mistakes. All the things a tutor can do with you in person, right on your computer screen. The tutors have curriculum that meet the highest standard or they can help with the assignments you are needing help with. Not only is it convenient and easy to use but your TutorVista tutors are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. So when you need help you can get it. You can get access to all subjects any time day or night for only $99. Heck as parents we could easily spend more money then that in a month just driving our kids back and forth to the tutor.

So let’s review. A regular tutor you have to schedule time and you have to go to them. With TutorVista the tutor is available 24/7 right there in your home whenever you need it. What could be better then that. I think once you try this service you will be glad you did.
