Market Growth and Trends 

Factors Driving the Market Growth Driver

Growing emphasis on STEM education is a key factor driving the market growth. The 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 personal 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 market is set to grow.

Trends and Technological Innovations 

Increasing emphasis on microlearning is a key trend influencing the market. Microlearning is set to become a significant trend in the US  market. This method involves breaking down learning material into small modules, allowing learners to grasp concepts quickly.

Personal 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.

Challenges and Opportunities 

The availability of open-source material is a key challenge hindering the growth of the market. In the market, open-source tutoring services that offer free learning materials pose a significant challenge. 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 tutors privately are costly. Consequently, MOOCs' popularity might impede the US tutoring market's growth.
