Some of the factors that help explain the anticipated growth are:

The advent of technology has expanded the market by allowing numerous types of tutors to reach out to a wider student base;

Advancements in information and communications technology have led to the emergence of virtual classrooms worldwide;

And the rise of virtual classrooms has led to an increase of private, online tutoring service providers as well.

To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated through the subscription and licenses charged for online tutoring products and services.

Other prominent vendors are Arbor Bridge, BenchPrep, InstaEDU, JEI Learning Centers, Knewton, Manhattan Review, Peterson’s Nelnet, Revolution Prep, Sylvan Learning and Tutor.

The report finds that a market trend will be the rise in vendor collaboration with institutions. A market challenge will be the rise in the number of unorganized private tutors.
