New Delhi: Tired of being unable to concentrate in a crowded classroom or comprehend what is being taught? Online or e-tuition sites, complete with lucidly illustrated examples and tests, are gaining in popularity with students able to study in the comfort of their homes and at a time of their choice.
Websites like Futor, Meritnation and Extramarks offer children online interactive study material and tools to work with at the click of the mouse.
"Schools do not have a personalised teaching approach. The same concepts are repeated, without considering a child's individual learning capacity. Sometimes a child does not understand a concept and the doubt goes untended. Despite this, the ultimate blame falls on the child," Manish Chaturvedi, CEO, Futor, told IANS.
He said that Futor plugs in such learning gaps by providing students with an innovative online practice platform and game-based learning method. It is offering coaching in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Futor plans to add English to the list by next year, Chaturvedi said.
"With such interactive teaching tools you are definitely ahead of a conventional tutor who does not have such methods at his disposal. Even the cost works out to be cheaper," he said.
"We generally conduct 10-12 classes per month, the cost for which ranges between 1,500 and 1,800," Chaturvedi told IANS.
