Private Tutoring Market In US: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Private Tutoring Market In US Drivers
Growing emphasis on STEM education is a key factor driving the market growth. The private tutoring market in the US is experiencing growth due to the increasing focus on STEM education in schools and higher education. STEM education integrates science, technology, engineering, and math through practical learning, driven by the rising demand for STEM-related jobs.
The US Department of Commerce predicts faster job growth in STEM fields compared to non-STEM fields. Higher education institutions prioritize STEM-related factors like grades, courses, and extracurriculars, while K-12 schools offer basic STEM education. To excel in STEM, students are turning to private tutoring for personalized assistance. For example, Sylvan Learning provides tailored tutoring in STEM subjects like coding, robotics, and science. As the significance of STEM education rises, the US private tutoring market is set to grow.
Key Private Tutoring Market In US Trends
Increasing emphasis on microlearning is a key trend influencing the market. Microlearning is set to become a significant trend in the US private tutoring market. This method involves breaking down learning material into small modules, allowing learners to grasp concepts quickly.
Private tutoring providers are increasingly advocating for microlearning integration in courses to enhance comprehension and engagement. These microlearning modules consist of short 5-10 minute video, audio, text, or infographic segments, often accompanied by quizzes and games. Benefits include concise content that addresses knowledge gaps, enhanced understanding and retention, and flexibility for time and resource constraints. Microlearning's adaptability across platforms and devices facilitates convenient knowledge-sharing and learning.
Major Private Tutoring Market In US Challenges
The availability of open-source material is a key challenge hindering the growth of the market. In the US private tutoring market, open-source tutoring services that offer free learning materials pose a significant challenge. Private tutoring vendors like Club Z Inc. and Kaplan charge fees for diverse subject tutoring. Conversely, providers like Coursera, edX, Udacity, and FutureLearn present Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) with accessible, flexible learning and optional paid certifications.
MOOCs gain traction due to adaptable, robust curricula, serving as academic supplements or alternatives. Students access free mobile course content, setting their pace. Coursera even supplies data tools, enhancing learning tracking. Open-source learning becomes an economical choice for students and parents compared to costly private tutoring. Consequently, MOOCs' popularity might impede the US tutoring market's growth.
