Rose-Learning in the Terre Haute Tribune Star

Rose student, entrepreneur working to get tutoring business going

By Sue Loughlin, The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE— Students struggling with algebra, chemistry and other subjects now have a new resource at their disposal. Matt Fouts, 20, a Terre Haute native and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology junior, has started a tutoring business called Rose-Learning. The Web site, with contact information, is at www.rose-learning.com. The business entrepreneur has three other Rose-Hulman students tutoring with him: Jon Krotz, Stutay Monga and Jama Johnson. The business is just now getting off the ground, and it is accepting applications for students. Rose-Learning is a private venture and not affiliated with the college. Fouts, who has worked with Rose-Hulman’s Homework Hotline in the past, became aware that some students need more personal, one-on-one assistance. “I saw that the kids sometimes didn’t understand,” he said. By offering the one-on-one service, the tutors can better explain concepts and show students how to answer a question or solve a problem. The cost is $25 per hour, and Fouts believes that initially tutoring would be offered once a week for its clients. The sessions will be offered at a downtown public facility. The tutoring is available to all age groups: elementary, middle school, high school and college. The subjects include, but are not limited to, a broad range of math and science subjects: algebra, trigonometry, calculus, chemistry, physics and biology. “Math and science are definitely our strong point,” Fouts said. Some but not all Rose-Learning tutors have tutoring experience. “It’s a kind a new venture for all of us,” Fouts said. He noted that clients are being taught “by some of the brightest students in the United States.” He selected tutors based on their personality, experience and involvement. If a subject is not currently offered, Rose-Learning will try to arrange it. Tutoring in some extracurricular activities, such as chess and piano, also will be available, although the prices will vary. The tutors each have outside jobs and will have to arrange the tutoring around their schedules. Evening and weekend hours are available. Space is limited, Fouts said. For younger students, Rose-Learning will want to meet with a parent to set up tutoring times and obtain emergency information. Fouts is a product of the Vigo County School Corp. and attended Honey Creek Middle School and Terre Haute South Vigo High School. For more information or to set up an appointment, call Fouts at (812) 241-5653 or contact him by e-mail at Foutsma1@rose-hulman.edu.

Economic Downturn Creates Jobs

Economic downturn forces seniors from #1 engineering school, Rose-Hulman, to pursue graduate school or new business start ups to offset the lack of new jobs available. Senior jobs down 10%, drives young entrepreneur to start local and national tutoring business. New technology makes it possible to connect tutors and students across the web on a whiteboard. The current economic situation is a birth to new businesses. College seniors are not finding the jobs that they once were right after graduation. A candid source from the human resources department at Rose-Hulman casually stated that job placement of graduating seniors is down 10% from last year’s average. Knowing that some are not going to be able to make the money necessary to pay back college loans, seniors are choosing to start their own business or go to grad school. One such student is Matthew Fouts, a junior at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Ranked #1 ten years in a row by USA Today as the best Undergraduate Engineering School in the country), who said, “Knowing job placement will most likely still be low by the time I graduate, I wanted to take control of my income and not rely on other companies to make a living.” With his new start up, Rose-Learning ( http://www.Rose-Learning.com ), he provides struggling high school students a new means to get help on academic studies. Utilizing Rose-Hulman students to teach others in the Terre Haute, Indiana area he is helping students reach their academic potential. According to his website, http://www.Rose-Learning.com , the subjects that a student can receive personalized one on one tutoring help with are: Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. ACT/SAT and Advanced Placement test preparation are also available. Now that more people are using the web instead of the newspaper or phone book to find services, Matthew has expanded his services and added an interactive online whiteboard to his website. This enables the student and tutor to be online together drawing and typing on the same screen even though they are hundreds of miles apart. This new technology by Twiddla makes it possible to tutor locally and nationally across the web. Rose-Learning is helping to provide jobs, help struggling students, and improve test scores. Rose-Learning can be contacted via phone at 812-241-5653.
