Outsourcing has invaded the education sector too. India is emerging as a front runner in offering tutoring services to overseas clients and is expected to garner a large share in the online tutoring business. Already a big business in Europe, U.S and East Asia, online tutoring is expected to grow rapidly in the years to come.
It is said that online tutoring is an expensive service which is generally within the reach of rich families but outsourcing is expected to change this trend. Since the service offered by Indian teachers is available at fraction of the cost charged by U.S and European teachers, outsourcing is expected to bring down the cost of online tutoring by $20 per hour.
India is again expected to gain from online tutoring outsourcing since besides the cost factor it has a large pool of English speaking talent with high level of competency in related subjects. Even the internet penetration and connectivity has improved over the years and this is expected to make India a leader in this particular field.
