Tailoring a personalized strategic plan and keeping up with them allows students to manage academics with fewer distractions, boost intrinsic motivation, and boost efficiency. Rapid urbanization, combined with the growing trend of personalized learning, is one of the principal reasons driving the market growth.
Individualized and adaptive microlearning has become more popular as it allows learners with brief and relevant content which fills knowledge gaps. Also, increased competition among children for enrollment in prestigious schools will almost certainly impact the overall private tutoring market in the future.
Parents passionately enroll their children in private tuition to adequately meet their children's learning needs as their income rises. As a result, parents invest in their children's education, such as private tutoring or elementary education tutoring, which is becoming a significant trend in the global education system.
Furthermore, the strategic alliance among significant players is also driving the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2021, Vedantu, an e-learning platform, announced that it had acquired Instasolv, a question-answering app for students in classes 6 to 12 for science and mathematics IITJEE and NEET, for an undisclosed amount.
According to the corporation, the acquisition will improve its doubt-resolution capabilities and strengthen its existence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets. However, the higher fees associated with private tutoring, which is not affordable in poor economies, are restraining the market growth during the forecast period.
Growth Drivers
Major players are focusing on introducing personalized tools that assist the students in learning. They are also focusing on increasing the investment in private education, which will help the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, Varsity Tutors, one of the country's largest stations for live online tutoring and classrooms, introduced a new portfolio of tools to assist school districts in dealing with interruptions and learning loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new releases expand on the company's current services for colleges but emphasize delivering immediate learning support to help students deal with the emerging challenges of the education year. Nerdy, the holding company of Varsity Tutors, confirmed a corporation with TPG Pace Tech Opportunities, a public companies specific purpose acquisition company affiliated with global private equity group TPG, in January 2021.
Further, in November 2021, Mentornaut, an online tutoring tool, announced a €200,000 (approx. USD 217,000) investment round by Angels Network EstBAN. The service is being launched in Kenya to improve participation in online learning.
Mentornaut is creating an online educational platform that connects K-12 students with an extensive network of authenticated private tutors in public school systems. As distance and distant location learning become more common worldwide, parents are increasingly willing to pay for private tutoring to support their students overcome learning gaps.
The new funds would be used to automate the system further to expedite personalized learning for parents, kids, and private tutors in Africa and Eastern Europe. The tutoring design would then rely on Orcas' online platform and CIRA's 21 school systems and teacher network. Thus, the major players' assistance in developing private education drives the market growth during the forecast period.
