Multimedia Tutorial Services Featured on NBC’s Today Show
“Consumer Smarts” Segment Highlights Company’s TutorialChannel.com Website and Math Made Easy as Affordable Tutoring Solutions
Brooklyn, NY, October 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Multimedia Tutorial Services (“Multimedia” or the “Company) (OTC Bulletin Board: MMTS), a leading developer of educational content, was featured on NBC’s Today Show, the number one morning news show in the United States. In the segment, “Today’s Consumer Smarts- How to Choose a Tutor,” originally aired on October 16, 2007, 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 2002 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 used Multimedia’s programs TutorialChannel.com and Math Made Easy.
In the interview Reichman, who has been a co-host of 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. “Students, wherever they may be—in remote areas, in urban areas—can all access top-notch professional tutors at a reasonable cost with Tutorial Channel.com/Math Made Easy.com,” Reichman said.
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 children emphasized the benefits of online tutoring: “Online you are able to communicate with an actual tutor at a convenient time for you.” The other 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 affordable tutoring services which parents can tailor to their child’s needs.”
