Partnerships and Education: K. Ganesh, TutorVista

Education has been the last of places where technology is used. There have been early adopters for technology in the travel and hospitality industries, banking, etc., but it has never seemed to make inroads into daily education for some reason. It can act as an enabler for connecting the “last lagging” student to an “A” grade teacher. Technology creates an opportunity to help more students by taking it to a larger cross-section of society at a very affordable cost. It has the potential to create a paradigm shift in the way students are taught through the use of animations, presentations, or through rapid use of standardized, scientific teaching methodology.

Microsoft has shown thought leadership with Unlimited Potential. We at TutorVista have always believed that education has the power to transform lives. Our affordable online tutoring reaches out to students across locations, providing them with better learning opportunities. Through Microsoft's program, we can now make our services accessible to a wider cross section of society at an affordable cost benefiting a wider audience. As we all know, better education translates to more opportunities for the people.
