Here’s what users are saying:
“With Tutor.com, we can provide that level of preparation to all students at no additional cost to their families. If they choose to engage, they can have support with SAT preparation, Advanced Placement® courses, or International Baccalaureate® coursework. My hope is that creating an opportunity that’s both student-friendly and student-informed will yield better results in terms of both opportunity and access. And this, in turn, will help us make progress on both the equity gap and learning loss issues.”
--Wayne Walters, Ed.D., Superintendent at Pittsburgh Public Schools
“When I understood the level and the rigor of application for Tutor.com’s tutors, it seemed more rigorous than many hiring processes throughout the country. I felt very confident that I would let my own kids interact with the tutors on Tutor.com based on the way the interface was set up. From my point of view, selecting Tutor.com was a no-brainer.”
-- Michael Fournier, Superintendent at Bedford (N.H.) School District
