Melinda Gates and her hubby, Bill, must have faith in Tutor.com because their foundation recently (Nov. 2010) awarded the company a $1.5-million grant to expand their one-to-one online sessions. Instead of solely providing online support to students, Tutor.com is developing a program that digitally connects a teacher with a “master teacher” (aka professional development coach) for on-demand, one-to-one live help from Sunday through Thursday, 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. local time. According to the program’s plan, professional development coaches will be ready to provide live help within minutes of request from a teacher.
The service will begin September 2011.
