Bill and Melinda gates give a whopping $1.5 million to tutor.com to help not only students now, but also teachers. They believe that to be a good educator you cannot just sit there and lecture all day for the students to learn, you need to be active and make it seem more interesting, so that is why from sunday to thursday from 1 p.m. to 10p.m. there will be online teacher coaching live on the internet to help each teacher succeed in teaching their students.
