Increased Usage of Online Tutoring Parallels Earlier Growth Trends of Online Learning
e-Tutoring, a lifeline for students and a powerful retention strategy in higher education, is fast gaining popularity across the country as an online service, giving students immediate, often 24/7, access to the help they need to succeed. Fueled by the success of e-learning, more than 100,000 students in more than 50 North American colleges and universities have gained direct access to tutors -- whether peers, paid tutors or professors in off hours -- via AskOnline. Originally developed by a Harvard student to provide online tutoring support to Boston area schools, AskOnline is now a leader in online tutoring systems for higher education and private enterprise. It provides a highly structured, flexible environment for institutions to connect their own qualified tutors with their students.
