My Private Tutor: Take Tutoring Service to New Heights

Anup Kumar De, a technocrat and a tutor based out of Kolkata had more than two decades of experience in tutoring. Often when it came to acquiring new students, he was not satisfied as they depended solely on word of mouth publicity and the search was extremely localized. Since Anup had already quit his previous job as a techie and took teaching as his full time profession, he was badly in search of a platform that would showcase his skills and qualification to attract more enquiries.

In the process of finding ways to attract enquiries, he started to search for home tuitions on the internet and noticed MyPrivateTutor.com. To his surprise, this was exactly what he was looking for. A platform that provided him with large number of students enquires at just a click! In 2013, Anup joined MyPrivateTutor. Since then he has been enjoying his teaching profession and the services just fit in right to his specific requirement. Needless to say, the platform fulfilled his expectations regarding authenticity, trustworthiness,

convenience and user-friendliness.
