SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICES UNDER NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT LOOK TO NEW EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE

YourOtherTeacher.com, Inc. was founded in 2002. Its corporate mission is to create a centralized portal where students can overcome difficult subjects, increase knowledge, and make learning easier.

Arroyo Grande, CA (November 12, 2004) -- President Bush’s No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2002 was implemented to help students in failing schools boost academic performance. The law requires that specific services be made available to students in at-risk schools that are eligible for funding under Title I law. The glaring problem with NCLB is that it only addresses the needs of students in failing schools, while there are thousands of students who are struggling to maintain the same academic standards in schools whose overall performance does not fall below government standards.

Each year, students in all public schools, regardless of the school’s eligibility for federally funded programs, are given standardized tests to measure their academic performance. In many cases, students who do not pass these tests cannot advance to the next grade. Though greatly in need of support to live up to government standards, many students from middle class households cannot afford the cost of private tutoring or learning centers.

Enter the online tutoring solution. With budgets and schedules tight and family members being pulled in all directions, the Internet has proven to be the most logical, efficient and motivating choice in a technological age. It is also the most cost effective. For students and parents looking to supplement their child’s education with one to one tutoring without spending a fortune, online tutoring is a new frontier.

With online tutoring, students connect with a credentialed instructor in real time and receive instruction much like they would in a classroom or with a private tutor. But Internet tutoring is more convenient and less expensive when compared to face-to-face sessions, giving it obvious appeal to busy, middle class families on tight budgets. Because commuting time is eliminated for both students and tutors, the cost of online tutoring is lower than what would be paid to attend sessions in a furnished building or to cover a private tutor’s traveling expenses.

Another benefit is that for students who may be shy about risking error or asking questions face to face, Internet tutoring provides an unprecedented opportunity to learn with real time assistance in relative anonymity. Students who use online tutoring can focus on material presented to them via their computer screens in the privacy and comfort of their own home and at their convenience.

One provider of online services, YourOtherTeacher.com, Inc., is a shining example of what the Internet has to offer to students who are struggling academically. Founded in 2002 by an engineering professor, YourOtherTeacher.com serves the needs of students from K-12 and at the college level in a range of subjects, including math, reading, English, science, engineering, Spanish and even the California High School Exit Exam. On line sessions are conducted via a two-way whiteboard application that gives students the ability to talk to and write with a credentialed tutor in real-time.
