Hello to all .... a peaceful day to you ....
I am an entrepreneur based out of Dubai. I own an ONLINE TUITION CENTRE catering to the BRITISH MARKET and operating in a successful manner. We are not a big company; but we are growing well. Online tutoring is performed by voice communication (via Skype etc) and by using a shared electronic white-board software where both the tutor and the student can write, draw, share visual aids, browse multimedia content etc in a shared computer screen. We have successfully coached a number of British students for their exams with excellent results. We have been in the business for about three years now; Three years is good amount of experience as the online tutoring industry is relatively a new field of business.
Now, I have plans to launch the same style, cut-price, one-to-one, online tuition service for the DUBAI school market also. Providing Math, Science, and Accountancy tuition for now. We can deliver excellent quality lessons "at a fraction of the tuition price" charged by private tutors in Dubai. Also, online learning eliminates the need of travelling; so, saving students their time & money. In the busy life of Dubai, parents do not have to drop to & pick-up their children from tuition centres located in high traffic areas. In this way, I would like to meet with a like minded person based in Dubai who can market the tuition services among Dubai school children and their parents for a mutual benefit.
Online tuition services could be easily marketed, if the correct approach is followed, since online learning has a number of advantages such as:
1- Students can learn from their own place of comfort.
2- No travelling needed; saving time & money. Safe learning their own place of residence.
3- Parents do NOT have to drop to and pick-up their children from coaching centres.
4- Parents and students do NOT have to accommodate a home visiting tutor at their place of residence.
5- Can learn from anywhere within Dubai or from anywhere in the gulf region.
6- Cost effective which eases the budget of a family.
Marketing may be done in various ways initially, such as:
1. Approaching schools.
2. Approaching teachers and give our brochures (for teachers who do not conduct private tuition)
3. Placing leaflets at libraries
4. Placing leaflets at super markets etc etc
This is a fastest growing business industry and almost every industry expert had rated this as the "Future of Education" since people become more & more busy day by day; and thus they need convenient, time saving educational methods.
If you are interested, please send me a private message (PM). I will be available to talk via Skype.
Thank you !
May Peace be upon you .....
