the tutoring services Market can be divided into two segments. First Tutors who help children with homework. As a rule, professional teachers, working in school or retired, – said Vice-President GK “Enlightenment” Victoria Kopylova. – The second segment – Tutors who prepare for Olympiads and unified state exams. Among them are not only teachers, but also University professors.
According to experts, this spring and they both went into the online format. For some it was a shock – to learn remotely on old notes is impossible. But it became clear: the work of the tutor becomes too costly, and sometimes pointless without digital products and services – those that give instant feedback and allow you to monitor the students ‘ progress.
In early April, along with Skyeng we have developed a free interactive workbook Skysmart, allowing you to quickly generate a set of tasks for a particular child and then to evaluate their implementation, – says Viktoriya Kopylova. – Notebook were developed for school teachers. But we were surprised to find out that she is in great demand, and his Tutors.
Now the notebook new tasks are added, there is a new, interactive content.
– Believe in the future two to three years will be able to offer also such tasks that require detailed answers and even short essays. To check them would be artificial intelligence, and it will free teachers from another layer of routine work, – says the expert. Together with the Moscow center of quality of education we are developing an online service that will not only estimate the task but also to give recommendations: what materials will you need to master for bug fixes. I do not exclude that the active use of such services will eventually reduce the need for Tutors.
However, very profession – “tutor” – the market will not go away: according to forecasts, Victoria Kopylova, will remain the demand for highly qualified professionals, who will significantly increase exam scores of their students. This trend will remain unchanged.
– the winners will be those who will be able to choose and effectively use the resources that are error-free, convenient, and most importantly – actually help the students. For Tutors is a matter of preserving their business survival in a highly competitive market, – the expert concludes.
