Topmyclass.com has expanded the scope of its online tutoring services to American students from K-3

Online, September 8, 2009 (Newswire.com) - First it got you. Now it's got your kids. Global competition is in your home. While American adults are the most hardworking in the world, their children have it easier than all the other children in the world. It's a well known fact that they are academically lagging far behind.

Sept. 9, 2009 -- Topmyclass.com has expanded the scope of its online tutoring services to American students from K-3 to K-12. It has a panel of highly qualified tutors, with several years of experience, tutoring thousands of students.

Topmyclass.com tutors conduct pre-assessment tests to gauge a student's current level of understanding of a subject, and then tailor a customized tutoring routine. They also conduct periodic post-assessment studies to evaluate the progress made by a student.

Tutors of TopMyClass.com employ an easy-to-use whiteboard with audio features to help students get the most out of online tutoring. The tutors provide just the right kind of handholding and naturally encourage students to learn more by the power of intellectual interactions.

This may be a bitter pill to swallow. But the fact is that academically American students lag way behind. According to the National Center for Education Statistics "In math, our 15-year-olds' scores now lag behind those of 31countries. In science, our eighth graders' scores now lag behind their peers in eight countries that had also participated in the original assessment. In reading, five countries have improved their performance and surpassed our 4th graders".

This is just one part of the problem. Our children have the lowest number of school-days, the shortest school-hours and one the longest summer holidays. The problem of long summer holidays is that children tend to forget one month of instructions in many subjects and three months of instructions in math.

This trend simply has to be reversed. From the lofty ambition of "No Child Left Behind" we are in a situation where we may have to lower the bar a bit to "No Child Left Far Behind". If this situation is not improved drastically the current generation of students will be ill equipped to compete globally.

TopMyClass.com's mission is to fill the gap in a student's learning and build interest and enthusiasm in a student towards her curriculum.
