The rising demand for e-learning, fueled by the impact of COVID-19, is driving the growth of the online tutoring market. The pandemic has led to the closure of schools worldwide, resulting in a significant shift towards e-learning and remote tutoring through online platforms. For example, in January 2024, data from Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, indicated that in 2023, approximately 30% of internet users in the EU aged 16 to 74 engaged in online courses or utilized learning materials, marking a 2 percentage point increase from 2022.

Major companies and platforms in the online tutoring market are increasingly prioritizing the development of advanced, AI-enhanced learning tools and collaborative academic support features to address growing demand for personalized, scalable, and easily accessible education driven by expanding digital learning adoption, broader internet availability, and students’ expectations for tailored support across subjects and grade levels. AI-powered tutoring platforms integrate adaptive learning systems, natural language processing, real-time feedback, and coordinated support workflows to provide individualized explanations, practice activities, and performance insights that enhance engagement and learning outcomes compared with traditional, uniform online tutoring models or in-person sessions that often lack real-time customization. For example, in June 2025, Link-Systems International, Inc., a Tampa-based education technology company, introduced the Shared Paper Review Queue feature on its NetTutor platform an innovative upgrade designed to strengthen campus writing assistance by enabling both institutional tutors and NetTutor professionals to access a single queue of student submissions, ensuring timely, high-quality feedback during peak academic periods such as midterms and finals. This shared system facilitates smooth collaboration between on-campus and online tutoring resources under institution-defined guidelines, preserving alignment with academic standards while minimizing support delays. The feature builds on NetTutor’s flexible, customizable tutoring framework and reflects a broader shift toward collaborative, adaptable tutoring ecosystems that blend human expertise with platform-driven efficiency to meet fluctuating student needs. The launch illustrates how online tutoring services are evolving from standalone one-on-one sessions into integrated academic support networks that balance individualized assistance with scalable, technology-enabled solutions.
