Hi vistasad,
Let me start by saying thank you for your time in replying to my post in a detailed way. I really appreciate from the bottom of my heart. However, I would like to throw some light on few points that you discussed in your talk.
Following are the few points:
1. I have a good writeup and even can prepare a better one, if need be. However, I do not have any contacts
in the US to whom I would send my writeup through email.
2. I have already worked with TutorVista and 1to1tutor for more than 2 years and know exactly how they
work.I would not only provide a better pricing but also give them excellent customer service. I would
treat every student in a special manner.
3. Its true that if I can give good service to my students, they would bring referrals and I am sure that it
would happen. However, at first I need atleast a few students to start with. I do not have any now.
4. I have a Skype ID (saurrish.ghosh) and also uses it daily. However, I do not have any phone numbers
as I have already mentioned before to call. I can only offer my services or call if I have few good leads
which I do not have at the moment.
5. I can extend my services to the countries in the Middle East too, provided I get some support from
anyone there who would be willing to get into a tie up or any kind of association with me. I also welcome
any good proposal for a Business Partner.
6. Let me also tell you that I specialize in Training SAT I and SAT II (Math Section).
7. Now, coming to the most important point and that is funding. The figures that you have mentioned in
your mail is a bit on higher side. I can get it even cheaper in India. But, since I am an Online Tutor I
already have few things like Computer, Broadband Connection, Headphone. I do not have Digital Pen
and Pad.
8. The amount you have mentioned might be a small amount for you. However, its true that it is indeed a
big ask for me, since I really do not have any funding options and cannot even gather Rs. 5000/-.
9. The other things that I certainly need to have in order to start my Online Tutoring Business are:
my own website which would contain Payment gateway which would enable parents to pay the fees,
Technology like the whiteboard etc, atleast some money to buy skype credit to make phone calls in
the US, and most importantly few contacts who can be my clients to start with.
10. Its true that I would not hire 25 tutors (as you said) for that matter even (3 tutors). However, I need
some financial help in order to acquire the above mentioned items.
Please let me know if you can help me in any way possible or would be interested to associate with me
in any form. I am open to any kind of suitable tie up.
