The Global Online Tutoring Services Market size is expected to reach $19.3 billion by 2029, rising at a market growth of 14.7% CAGR during the forecast period.

Online tutoring services are a form of tutoring that takes place in an interactive, digital, or connected environment. In this model, teachers and students are located in different geographical locations. The provision of online tutoring services is beneficial for students who require immediate assistance with their homework. In addition, such services present a distinctive and personalized approach to learning.

The online tutoring industry comprises three main categories of courses, namely language courses, STEM courses, and other courses. The STEM curriculum encompasses the primary fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The services, offered through channels such as international organizations & associations, private coaching, educational institutions, and others, are used by K–12 students, college students, in-service educators, and others.

The two primary formats utilized by online tutors are asynchronous and synchronous. The implementation of asynchronous tutoring is dependent on the completion of offline coursework. According to the tutoring process, the tutor sends students their assignments via email. The pupil is then responsible for completing their work and submitting it online. Asynchronous tools facilitate communication between students and instructors for additional assistance or clarification.

This communication can occur without needing both parties to be online simultaneously. The tutoring method known as synchronous tutoring is characterized by immediate and simultaneous communication between the student and the tutor. The successful implementation of this solution necessitates utilizing software that enables seamless direct communication between the involved parties through audio, video, or text.
