Technological advances are shifting the market from traditional face-to-face classes to online tutoring.

Challenge
The availability of open educational resources is a major challenge to the China after-school tutoring market. The availability of open educational resources poses a major challenge to market growth. The existence of various educational institutions allows students to prepare for entrance exams without tutoring. For example, online course and service provider Coursera offers materials and courses for the HSK test at Peking University. Therefore, more students prefer such online resources rather than after-school tutoring services.
Moreover, the after-school English classes occupy a large share of the after-school tutoring market in China. However, the availability of free online English courses, such as the British Council's free online English courses, poses a significant challenge to market growth. In addition, the emergence of student applications further aggravates the situation, For instance, ChinesePod is an educational application that offers approximately 3,000-4,000 self-paced lessons. Therefore, the availability of a large number of open educational resources is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period.
