'Consumer Smarts' Segment Highlights Company's Online Learning Center, TutorialChannel.com and Math Made Easy(TM) as Affordable and Effective Home Tutoring Solutions
BROOKLYN, N.Y., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Multimedia Tutorial Services (BULLETIN BOARD: MMTS) ("Multimedia" or the "Company), a leading developer of educational content, was featured on NBC's Today Show, the number one morning news show in the United States. The program's segment, "Today's Consumer Smarts - How to Choose a Tutor," originally aired on Tuesday October 16th, 2007. During the segment, Today's correspondent Janice Lieberman detailed the recent growth in the tutoring industry due to the growing crisis in the country's school system and the universal requirements imposed by the nation's "No Child Left Behind Act."
The segment included an interview with Multimedia President and Chief Executive Officer, Barry Reichman, along with Rochelle Foley and her two daughters, both of whom have been successfully using Multimedia's programs, TutorialChannel.com and Math Made Easy, to improve their math grades.
In the interview, Reichman, who also co-hosted an educational radio talk show in New York City, "Family Education Hour," discussed the nation's unmet need for effective and moderately priced alternatives to high-cost tutoring centers. Reichman commented during the interview, "Students, wherever they may be - in remote areas, in urban areas - can all access top-notch professional tutors at a reasonable cost with TutorialChannel.com, backed-up by Multimedia's proven leaning system, Math Made Easy."
During the interview, Ms. Foley stated, "Cost was a factor. That is why we chose Math Made Easy. It was very affordable for our family." One of Foley's daughters emphasized the benefits of online tutoring, "Online you are able to communicate with an actual tutor at a convenient time for you." The other daughter added, "You have a notepad where you can draw out your problems and your tutor talks to you online and draws out the response back to you, explaining how you can work on them."
Following the interview, Reichman remarked, "I was honored to be a guest on such a premiere news program. The segment not only cast a spotlight on Multimedia Tutorial Services programs, but more importantly, on the growing need for high quality affordable tutoring services which parents can tailor to their child's specific needs."
