Why Work With Jim O’Hara?

My core objective has been to help people learn. I’ve remained committed to my vision – seamlessly making available the best experts and helping motivated learners in any subject, anywhere, anytime connect to them and avail tutoring.

In the year 2017 alone million over 24 million students signed up for first course online, taking the total number of students pursuing online education to around 85 million (numbers from Sloan Consortium). The stats for 2017 are almost identical to the stats for 2016, when 23.5 million new students enrolled in online courses. In a survey conducted in 2014, 1 in every 4 college students in the United States was enrolled in distance education courses at degree-granting institutions of higher education. In the year 2017, that ratio shifted to become 1 in every 3 college students in the United States, a whopping 30% of all enrollee’s taking at least one online course. Market research by the firm Zion recently published an informative report that valued the entire US education market to be worth USD 1,350 billion in the year 2017 (that’s 1.3 trillion USD), and their tea leaf prediction of the future, they believe the market could be worth 2,040 billion (2 trillion and change) by 2026. This is not even taking in to account the continuing pace of globalization or the overweening interest in education and academic credentials by the rapidly developing counties in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe.

With the market trend-line being what it is today, and with the labor market advancing in the way that it is, credential-ism and higher learning can reasonably be expected to grow at a respectable pace even compared to other vibrant and rapid growth market sectors (think real-estate, healthcare or even finance). Just like financial services became the leading export of USA (possibly second only to arms and ammunition) during the 80’s, 90’s and 2000. With the rigor of American research institutions and state of the peer-review process (and how lacking rest of the world is when compared to America, except possibly Europe), education could become one of my leading exports in the coming half-century. And online learning, I feel, can be one of the bright spots, democratizing knowledge, opportunity and empowerment.

My conjecture for the growth in the education marketplace coupled with my hypothesis that the labor market will basically shunt anyone incapable of dazzlingly complicated thought (think programming, hardware automation, advanced medicine, etc.) in to poorly paying jobs leads me to the belief that the Academic space is poised for pretty dramatic growth. So, anyone interested in learning, acquiring knowledge, and making a decent living ought to consider a career track in the learning space.

My success is in helping to connect thousands of students with top tutors, and a key component of this success is my thorough screening and qualification process. I have rigorous qualifications requirements, and only a small fraction of those who apply to be a tutor make it through the vetting process. At JimmyEdu.com, I know that your experience depends on incredible tutors, and I will work tirelessly to help match my clients with nothing less.

Adding Value + Understanding The Market (or, trying to) + Enthusiasm + Strong Work Ethic + Innovation (or, trying to) = JimmyEdu.com. I am tackling incredibly complicated challenges for my clients, who rely on me to take control of their lives and accomplish their objectives. My goal is to do this job well, to do it efficiently, inventively, dependably and put a smile on each of their faces. But to serve a rapidly growing market and face the challenges my clients face, I feel that enthusiasm and passion are critical. Creativity and work-ethic are the two most valued traits in my hiring pipeline.

JimmyEdu.com is actively engaged in ensuring my clients have the best private tutors.

You can have the best management, best tutors and best online website, but without creativity and enthusiasm you would not have JimmyEdu.com.
