Bangalore, India (prHWY.com) December 20, 2011 - Bangalore ,Dec 20th , 2011 :- The Education system in India faces a peculiar problem. On one side, the traditional Indian parents are very competitive when it comes to educating their children. On the other side, there are huge gaps when it comes to demand and supply balance in quality education. Every parent wants their children to do better than them in education and gets them to the best school possible as per their budget. Its only later they realize that it was not sufficient. A large number of students struggle to cope up with what's being taught in the school. This could be because of the quality of the teacher, lack of Individual attention or an individual students' capability to grasp thing fast. Plus, there is the extra pressure from parents and others to remain ahead of everyone else. The result often is that parents feel that education in school is not sufficient and they need external help for their children. This is especially true when Exams come closer and parents realize that there are large portions yet to be completed & practiced by their children.

Then begins the journey of finding that external help that can bring miraculous result for their children. Parents soon realize that the research required to find a good tutor or a teacher could be as lengthy and complicated as finding a good school or buying a new car. Since every parent have their specific requirement of budget, timing, gender, subjects and location; finding just the right tutor or a teacher is never easy. Then there is a choice between finding a home tutor vs. tuition center in the neighborhood.

The first option usually is to check with friends and families. But a majority of people today do not restrict to that one source. They often check with other parents from the same class, search it on Internet or take help from home tuition agencies. Since the requirements vary from Individual to individual; a solution that worked perfectly for one parent may not work at all for others. Imagine this problem being faced by Millions of parents every year in India. The changes in syllabus, subjects, and children's week areas every year often require one to change the tutor or teacher he/she found last year.
