/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Multimedia Tutorial Services (OTC:MMTS)
(BULLETIN BOARD: MMTS) ("Multimedia" or the "Company), a leading
developer of educational content, was featured on NBC's Today Show,
the number one morning news show in the United States. The
program's segment, "Today's Consumer Smarts - How to Choose a
Tutor," originally aired on Tuesday October 16th, 2007. During the
segment, Today's correspondent Janice Lieberman detailed the recent
growth in the tutoring industry due to the growing crisis in the
country's school system and the universal requirements imposed by
the nation's "No Child Left Behind Act." The segment included an
interview with Multimedia President and Chief Executive Officer,
Barry Reichman, along with Rochelle Foley and her two daughters,
both of whom have been successfully using Multimedia's programs,
TutorialChannel.com and Math Made Easy, to improve their math
grades. In the interview, Reichman, who also co-hosted an
educational radio talk show in New York City, "Family Education
Hour," discussed the nation's unmet need for effective and
moderately priced alternatives to high-cost tutoring centers.
Reichman commented during the interview, "Students, wherever they
may be - in remote areas, in urban areas - can all access top-notch
professional tutors at a reasonable cost with TutorialChannel.com,
backed-up by Multimedia's proven leaning system, Math Made Easy."
During the interview, Ms. Foley stated, "Cost was a factor. That is
why we chose Math Made Easy. It was very affordable for our
family." One of Foley's daughters emphasized the benefits of online
tutoring, "Online you are able to communicate with an actual tutor
at a convenient time for you." The other daughter added, "You have
a notepad where you can draw out your problems and your tutor talks
to you online and draws out the response back to you, explaining
how you can work on them." Following the interview, Reichman
remarked, "I was honored to be a guest on such a premiere news
program. The segment not only cast a spotlight on Multimedia
Tutorial Services programs, but more importantly, on the growing
need for high quality affordable tutoring services which parents
can tailor to their child's specific needs." To view the Today Show
