Does It Make Sense To Give Education For Free?
Francis Bacon, the great philosopher and thinker viewed that "knowledge means power". Once one gains power one can lead his / her life in a decent way. It is the power of education that can bring dignity and respect in one's life.
Online, July 9, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Math and English has always been problem subjects for the students. Some children dread the subject so much that they fall ill at the time of exams. At times even dedicated efforts of the teachers fail to make children come out of this fear. Understanding this plight, on June 2, 19.32 hours Practutor was opened for registration. Since then, more than 5000 people have registered on the site.
The main idea behind Practutor
The main idea took roots during a coffee table discussion almost one and half a year back. The intention was to make available for the kids in the elementary and middle school an effective solution so that the problems they faced in English and Math was addressed properly. The product took shape after long discussion, ideations, fine-tuning and research. The focus is only one-excellence of students in English and Math irrespective of the place they belong to and the level of schooling they receive.
Help where it is needed the most
Each student has his own strong points and shortcomings. Some are good at grammar while some in numbering. Practutor's algorithm tracks down the weak areas of the students and provides intensified help in these areas. It also challenges the strong areas of the students so that they can develop the skill to its full potential. Briefly, the idea is to make learning adaptive to the need of each student.
How do we go about it?
We have formed a core curriculum, which comprise of more than 4200 individual questions in Math and 40,000 English questions that cover all the aspects of the studies. These questions are mostly targeted at testing the basic and critical thinking of the children. The students can print it offline, work on them and email back its answers. The core curriculum inhabits myriad learning videos, materials and learning options. Teaching through gaming is an integral part of this curriculum, which makes the learning process exciting, and reward based.
