MiQ TUTOR offers a solution

Do your children ever experience frustration with their homework??

Having been a teacher for many years I have come across my fair share of homework problems. Problems ranging from children crying and not being able to sleep because they couldn't complete their homework to parents who blatantly do their children's homework for them. If a child hasn't fully understood the work they are being asked to complete it is virtually impossible for them to even attempt to do their homework.

Many parents are left wondering what to do. How can they help?

The top 5 reasons that parents fail to get the appropriate help for their children are :-

  1. They can't afford expensive tutors, especially with more than one child
  2. They can't fit in the tutoring with their hectic schedule
  3. They don't understand what their child's needs are
  4. They are unable to find the time themselves to help their children
  5. They just can't make the commitment required
This is a global problem.

Education is becoming more and more demanding and homework schedules are here to stay.

Do you think that an an online interactive learning channels may be the answer to their prayers?

Is private tuition a growing industry?

With any business be it off line or online the first and most important thing to do is research. Is there actually a market for the product I am wanting to sell?

From my own experience in the educational field there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that private education, particularly private individual tuition, is a growth industry. Educated and informed parents are wanting to help their children to succeed in the barrage of testing that is prevalent in our schools today. They want their children to have the best opportunity.

However, sadly, this option is not open to all parents, as private tuition is not cheap especially if their is more than one child in the family. At approximately £20 an hour on average this can be above and beyond the means of many parents. A more cost effective alternative would certainly be welcomed by many parents, especially if it can be at a time to suit and in their own home.

So what about the research? A recent news clip from BBC news gives a short but succinct appraisal of the situation indicating that parents do want to provide extra help for their children and that the children do in fact benefit from this 1-1 tuition.
