New York, NY (USA), September 2011 - Online tutoring provider TutaPoint.com has released the first live tutoring application for the Android Market. The application, "Live USA Tutoring," is the first application for Android that allows students using a smartphone or tablet to connect, communicate, and collaborate directly with a live tutor.
"After nine months of research, development, and testing, we could not be more proud of the final application", says company co-founder Ryan Duques.
Students who use the new application will find the mobile virtual classroom environment similar to TutaPoint.com's web-based environment. With the app's robust chat and whiteboard system, students and tutors can work out a problem or lesson clearly and effectively. The application was built with lightweight architecture that employs Adobe Corporation's AIR technology.
Mobile tutoring sessions can be scheduled either on a computer or on an Android device, such as a phone or tablet.
"This application further breaks down the barriers to a student receiving educational support", says Duques. "Now a student can receive help from a qualified, U.S.-based tutor no matter what time it is or where they are."
