MIT has just launched MITx. MITx will be a learning platform that hosts a number of MIT courses online. It will be interactive and free to students from around the world. MITx will also enable students to grade themselves on the subjects too. What is truly innovate IMHO is that they will allow student to show their mastery over a subject to get a certificate of completion (although not from MIT to distinguish and presumably not to diminish the value of their on campus programs!). This is moving towards competence based education rather than time based education.

MIT has been in the forefront of open course ware or OCW since its launch 10 years ago. They are taking it even further with the launch of MITx, an initiative led by MIT Provost L. Rafael Reif.  MIT deserves significant praise for their efforts in freeing up education.

We at GraduateTutor.com are on standby to assist students who may need some private tutoring to master the subjects of choice.

GraduateTutor will now provide tutoring for MIT’s Open Course Ware (OCW) program – Financial Management-15.414. Corporate Finance, Capital Markets, Managerial Decisions, Financial Assets, Financial Derivatives etc are few common titles that one come across very often in B Schools and for that matter in a corporate world. MIT’s Open Courseware via Sloan School of Business titled ‘Financial Management-15.414 (Summer 2003)’ includes all of the above!

MIT’s Open Courseware (OCW) via Sloan School of business is a generous innovation in the field of education. Graduate Tutor has been working towards its vision; to make learning easier than ever before by rendering homework help and tutoring services on various topics included in MIT’s OCW. ‘Financial Management-15.414 (Summer 2003)’ is the latest addition.

Graduate Tutor’s expert tutors consist of MBA, CPAs or CFAs with strong tutoring skills in accounting and finance among other topics. Currently we provide tutoring to finance students from a number of top business schools and we are confident with their ability to tutor ‘Financial Management-15.414 (Summer 2003)’

‘Financial Management-15.414 (Summer 2003)’ is just one of the many topics that we plan to provide tutoring in. We hope to widen our spectrum and provide tutoring support to more programs included in MIT’s open courseware.

Enjoy learning and look forward to it!

We get great student reviews / feedback from our students.  We don’t post all the feed back in our blog since this was not the intention of starting this MBA Tutoring Blog!  But we like to post feedback that distinguishes our service from other tutoring services and this is one such student review.

A visit to your doctor meant a visit to the hospital or a clinic. But not any more – at least in Hawaii!  Starting this January Americal Well along with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Hawaii allow patients to visit their doctors online.  Instead of waiting for an appointment or driving a long distance to a doctor’s office patients can go online to chat with a doctor! Read more about it in this NYT article.

Dr Roy Schoenberg, American Well’s co-founder says that “national studies on online care have found that patients would like to have Web chats with primary care doctors about colds or diabetes management, for example, or with specialists about symptoms such as lower back pain or bad headaches.”

If medical care can be delivered online, tutoring can just as effectively be done online.  Ofcourse, we are not taking their word for this   We have been testing this service for the last one year and have great feedback from our students.

Why experiment with multiple tutors to find a good quality tutor in MBA level finance? (Or for that matter in MBA level statistics, acconting, operations research or financial modeling or operations research). Or why travel to meet a high quality Graduate level/MBA tutor?
Just log on to GraduateTutor.com or call us to get a high quality tutor at a time convenient for you.

Hawaii is ideally suited for online activity given the travel hassels across islands.  However it is not just the seas that cause incovenience – high levels of traffic, tolls, availability of specialist, scheduling or sheer distances between places cause customers inconveniences.  These inconveniences are significantly reduced or eliminated by online tutoring.

GraduateTutor.com provides high quality online tutoring to MBA students and working professionals anywhere in the world (almost)! Log on or call us to experience high quality online tutoring.

We get a lot of questions on what does Graduate Tutor do?  The short answer is that we provide live online private tutoring.  Click here to read more on the type of service we provide MBA students and business executives.

Sometimes to fully understand what we do, it is helpful to know to know what we do not do!

We abide by generally accepted university honor codes.

Homework

Our MBA tutors do not do your homework for you. However, we will teach you the concepts that enable you to do your homework.  We will also be happy to provide you with tutoring assistance as you work on your homework.

MBA assignments

We do not do Graduate or MBA assignments for students.  However, we do  assist with MBA assignments by coaching students through the process. This includes tutoring MBA students on the concepts and theories or frameworks needed to complete the assignments, helping with selecting  assignment topics, finding relevant materials, etc.

The underling principle

Why do we not do MBA homework or MBA assignments? The main reason is that we do not want to steal your learning experience. If we did do MBA homework or MBA assignments, our graduate students would not learn what  these assignments / homework are designed to teach them. We want to make your learning process easier not prevent it!

Often, we have students whose faculty or teaching assistants are either not available or have not interest in helping / teaching / tutoring students individually even if they need it.  We even have students say that they have never had a class or the concepts were never addressed in class but were expected to pick it up on their own! We will be happy to assist in these cases.

In summary, if you are looking for somene to do your MBA homework or MBA assignments, we will not be of much help! But if you are a genuine student seeking help in learning, our MBA Tutors  can be of great value to you.

Since this is one of the most common questions we get and we hope to update this information as often as necessary, we have added a page rather than a post on this topic.   Read more about Graduate Tutor locations here.

Over the coming days, we hope to cover the following questions that address who we are :

• Where is Graduate Tutor based?
• Who are Graduate Tutor’s customers?
• What does Graduate Tutor do?
• What Graduate Tutor will not do
• What subjects are covered by Graduate Tutor faculty?

We at Graduate Tutor are thrilled to start this blog.  We hope for the following:

First, we will use this blog to address the common questions we get from students, potential tutors, college faculty we work with and potential investors.  Questions range from who we are, what we do and where are we located to those on one-on-one tutoring, the technology we use and so on…..  We hope to address these questions and more in this blog. 

Second, we hope to bring you news from various MBA campuses that we believe will be interesting to other MBA students. 

Finally, we hope to update our students and tutors about the ongoing developments at Graduate Tutor.  We continue to offer new MBA subjects like finance, statistics, operations research, GMAT and GRE test preparation programs as well as to add new textbook-specific tutoring.  We will use this blog to keep you posted on the latest at GraduateTutor.com.
