Anna: Well, teenagers and their parents have numerous challenges when it comes to homework these days In many families both parents work and don't have much available time to help their kids with their homework And even if they have time to help, they may not be able to offer support with the content What I mean is, they may not know, or at least remember, enough in any given subject to support Presenter: You mean they might not be able to remember complex maths or might have never studied certain subjects, such as biology or economics, themselves? Anna: Exactly So they might want to support their children with their homework, but have neither the time nor the knowledge to so Presenter: I see So the app helps solve this problem? Anna: Yes, and more The next issue is that tutors can be expensive, and there may be long waiting lists for specialist tutors in the town or region you live in Our HomeworX app brings students and tutors together online Students can search a database of pre-approved tutors and sign up for live online support They don't need to be in the same town or city Presenter: That sounds really great Anna: It is And this approach also enables us to offer the tutoring services at lower prices because there's no travelling time involved for the tutor to get to the student's home And tutors who live in remote areas are happy to get access to more students, and be able to work from home, even at lower rates Presenter: This all sounds great So, how did you come up with the idea? Anna: Well, as you might guess, I was one of those parents I described earlier I really wanted to help my son with his homework, but I was either too busy with work or I didn't actually know anything about the subjects he was having difficulty with Also, we live in an area where there aren't many tutors and the ones that are there are either very expensive or have long waiting lists Presenter: Yes I can understand your predicament Well, it sounds like a very useful app that is clearly meeting a need And its popularity obviously speaks for itself Anna: Thank you Presenter: So, you have plans for the future? Anna: We've just secured some funding and hope to expand the range of services we offer using the app Presenter: We wish you the best of luck Thanks again for coming in That was Anna Oliveira, founder
