Press Release Summary: The size of online tuition market in India is expected to
grow from the current $27 million or Rs 105 crore to $280 million or Rs 1,092 crore
by 2012, according to a report by brokerage firm CLSA Asia Pacific Markets. Online
Tuition is going to be the next biggest boon in Internet.

Press Release Body: Worldwide market for online tutoring is estimated to be in the
region of $12 billion (Rs 46,800 crore). India now earns around $15 million (Rs 60
crore) per year from online tutoring -- 10 per cent of the total market share,
reports Financial Express.

Vijay K Thadani, co-founder and CEO, NIIT, has said the Indian market, despite a 4
per cent market penetration, shows promise. The reason happens to be due to the size
of the Indian population (100 crore) -- the absolute internet users are over 4
crore, which is bigger than the population of many developed countries.

Sujai.G, senior consultant of 2tion.com said "Online Tuition is becoming more and
more popular in India these days after BPO (Business Process Outsourcing). Thousands
of Indian teachers get opportunities to teach children across the globe and earn a
good amount of money through online tuitions. This has become another successful
internet business in India. There is a growing demand for online tutorials in UK and
USA now."

However, K Ganesh, founder and CEO of TutorVista, warns that a 100 per cent online
tuition model would not work for India. "India's internet penetration levels are
very low and computers are very expensive here. A hybrid model, and not a 100 per
cent e-learning model, would work better here," K Ganesh has said.


Online tuitions or Educational Services Outsourcing (ESO) are becoming predominant
in India as Indian educators are renowned globally and are on great demand.

What is Online Tuition?

Online Tutoring refers to a process in which a LIVE tutor is able to teach a student
using interactive technologies over the internet. This involves a tutoring session
in which the tutor and student are able to talk to each other, see each other, and
write on a shared whiteboard, much like a normal face to face tutoring session.
Online Tutoring is not simply availability of content, multi-media modules, test
papers or recorded sessions, but involves live tutors communicating with the student
in real time.

The basic requirement for starting online tuition is a computer with Internet
connection and headphone mike set and digital pen tablet. Most software that is
