Online learning technologies enable tutoring connections between Asian, US - EarthTimes
Max Benning of Scottsdale, Arizona, struggles in school, especially with the subjects chemistry, English and physics. "According to my mom, I don't really care about school," said the 11-year-old. And he admits that he wouldn't make it without tutoring. "I need it, and it is much more efficient than studying by myself." So, a few times a week, he discusses his homework with his tutor, Bindu. What's special about their relationship is they communicate over the internet, and Bindu lives in India. Benning is one of more than 700,000 US students who are tutored this way, and the number of students throughout the world who turn to the internet for tutoring services is growing.
