Education Company TutaPoint.com Anticipates Successful Ride on Apple's Devices
NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As the education and technology community awaits Apple, Inc.'s Thursday announcement regarding their education initiative, other companies are positioning related products and services to ride-along with Apple, Inc.'s probability of success.
Manhattan based, TutaPoint.com has provided live, online tutoring and education support materials since 2007. Until recently all of these services were provided over a traditional computer with internet services. However, in September the company launched the first live tutoring application for the Android Market and the company plans to release its iPad / iPhone version within the next few weeks.
"The tablet computer is changing how students access and devour information," said TutaPoint.com co-founder Ryan Duques. "Within days of our first experience with an iPad we were building our app."
TutaPoint.com's "Live USA Tutoring" app, which is currently available for Android devices, allows a student to meet with a U.S. based tutor live. Using the company's proprietary learning environment, which is enhanced for the tablet computer, the student can communicate with a professional tutor and work through a lesson together.
"The tablet allows for access to professional, live tutoring anywhere," said Duques. "No longer is geography, time of day or transportation a barrier to receiving one-on-one educational support."
TutaPoint.com helps students from all over the United States and works with several large school districts and non-profits. While online math tutoring is the company's most popular offering, students can also receive help in science, language arts and world languages. Tutoring starts at $29 per hour, although plans are available that bring the cost down to about $10 per hour. There is no additional charge to use the Live USA Tutoring application, which runs on Android devices and will be released for the iPad and iPhone in the coming weeks. The app is free to download.
TutaPoint.com has been a content provider on Apple's iBook Store for two years where it sells its High School Math Made Simple text book. The company also sells its digital texts on Amazon's Kindle Store and Barnes and Nobel's Nook Store.
"We envision Apple's larger role in the education arena as a major advantage for companies like TutaPoint.com, who have education related services that are deployed on the iPad," said Duques.
