In the preceding exercises, I have stated that my problem is
that students at the University of Florida do not have tutoring resources
readily available to them once they get into their upper level, more difficult
courses. My product and service would be packets with important information
from the classes and tutoring services for those harder, upper division
classes. My tutoring service would consist of one-on-one tutoring, group
tutoring which would be available to everyone with a membership, and simply a
packet consisting of the materials necessary to ace the class. The one-on-one
tutoring would be the most expensive since it is a more personalized
experience. The group tutoring sessions would be priced through a monthly
subscription. The packets with the important course material will be the
cheapest option, as you are really doing all the tutoring yourself, we will
simply provide you with the essential information. In order to accomplish this,
I would need to find people who have taken those classes (and did well in them)
and hire them to be a part of my tutoring service. I want to emphasize that
this service is not for classes that freshman will be taking like the general
education requirements; this service is only for students who have passed
freshman year or have entered into their major requirement courses.
The only issue I'd see with this tutoring service is that the current companies that DO offer tutoring services would open up for higher end classes. For example, Broward Tutoring Center or Study Edge or even Smokin' Notes can offer up for these upperclassmen. However, I do think that you can maybe offer something like connecting upperclassmen who have already taken these high-level classes offer tutoring for those who need it!
ReplyDeleteI think you brought up a very realistic solution to your opportunity. I especially liked the details you included in the different services that you would offer. It really personalizes the service and allows for many students with different needs to get help in their classes.
ReplyDeleteI think your solution makes a lot of sense as it follows a basic business model that has worked well for many tutoring services. I think your opportunity would be great for those who need a little extra help in their difficult classes. I know that if this were available for my classes I would utilize it and can imagine many other students would as well.
