Video games teachers
By Shalini Singh

Think your little boy Amar, Akhar or Anthony is spending too much time playing video games.  And this would affect their education and possible careers with prestigious IT companies like Infosys and TCS.

Now there are even more opportunities for your son (girls do not seem to share the passion for games) if he is only good at playing video games.  Naturally, there will always be opportunities if he/she has skills like C Plus, Java, 3D and animation required to create video games.

An American company Gamertrainer is now offering a personal trainer at $30 an hour to make you a better video game player.  The training is done remotely and this ‘instructor’ meets you on Xbox Live or the WoW Realm to teach you the tips and tricks.

Naturally, there are discounts if you want more training.  $80 buys 3 hours, and for $130 you get 5 hours.  They cover most of the popular games like Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, Halo, Rainbow Six: Vegas and World of Warcraft.

Just a question of time before 15-year old ‘Tom’ in New York realises that his trainer ‘Jay’ from Los Angeles is actually ‘Jayant’ from Jodhpur working on $8.90 an hour. And for $13.50 an hour ‘Jayant’ will also happily do his Class 9 homework.
