Redefining Personalized
Creating A Learning Moment
Our tutors have completed over 8,000,000 1:1 sessions with students. When a student brings a problem or question to Tutor.com, a learning moment is created between a tutor and that student. The student and tutor work together in a secure, online classroom.
Ensuring Students Understand
The goal of every session is to capture that learning moment to ensure the student can solve the problem at hand and thoroughly understand relevant concepts. When the student demonstrates proficiency, the session is brought to an educationally-sound conclusion by the tutor. The student leaves with his or her immediate needs addressed and the confidence to finish the rest of the assignment independently.
High Quality Help at Any Time
Our rigorous approach to tutor onboarding, mentoring and retention ensures high quality, pedagogically sound help for all students and learning styles.
On Demand 24/7
Ready to Help When They Need It
Balancing work, life and jobs for today’s students is tricky and they often work on coursework late at night. Working with Tutor.com is like adding 2,500 subject matter experts to your staff to provide 1:1 help to your online, on-campus or commuter students whenever they need it.
No Scheduling and No Stumbling Blocks
Students never need to schedule an appointment. Immediate access to a professional tutor allows students to be ready for the next class, which can bolster student confidence and avoid the cycle of missed assignments that causes many students to fall behind.
Real-Time Writing Help
Since over 50% of sessions tend to be in writing, it’s particularly important that students can work with tutors in real time instead of waiting 24 hours or more for comments to be turned around.
Actionable Data
Comprehensive Monthly Reports
Available in both Excel and PDF format, include charts, graphs and trend analysis at both an aggregate and individual level. Custom reports can also be provided as needed. Standard reports include:
- Total number of sessions for the month by type of service used
- Total number of sessions by subject
- Total aggregate time used by students for the month of service
- Post-session survey results, including student satisfaction ratings
- Random sample of un-edited post-session student comments
- Individual student usage data is also available, including subjects and time used
Predictive Insights
Predictive Insights takes reporting to the next level because it provides a more detailed, granular look at the challenges students are facing and why they’re seeking help from tutors. Tutor.com is the only company that offers this detailed reporting. Colleges and universities working with us will be able to see not only that students are requesting help, but also the specific concepts that were covered in tutoring sessions. Based on the tutor's assessment of the student's prerequisite knowledge and the tutor's evaluation of the 1:1 session, students are flagged when they may benefit from additional assistance so that administrators and instructors can take action.
Support Every Step of the Way
Our clients rave about and we take pride in our responsiveness and support. Because promoting student awareness is the key to launching and sustaining a successful tutoring program, Tutor.com provides a suite of promotional materials and conduct webinar or onsite training sessions with administrators, professors and program managers to launch, implement and support each institution’s implementation. Additionally, the Client Resource Center is available online 24/7 and contains templates for fliers, posters, email templates, guides and videos as well as best practices. And every institution working with us has a dedicated Client Manager as their day-to-day point of contact.
Customizable Solutions
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Colleges and universities who partner with Tutor.com select which of our 25 academic subject areas they want to offer 1:1 tutoring in, how they want to group subject offerings and what reports are most important to their institution.
Flexible Staffing Options
With Tutor.com, colleges and universities select whether they want to staff the service with Tutor.com tutors, their own tutors or a combination of both. Whether it’s covering busy times, providing overnight coverage or offering one-to-one tutoring in subject areas not covered through existing tutoring programs, we’ve got you and your students covered.
Integration Makes Access Easy
We can even integrate with your LMS or CMS to make authentication and access as easy as possible for students.
Mobile Access
Students Are Mobile and So Are We
Tutor.com is the only online tutoring program that provides mobile access for students. This is critical because 2/3 of today’s college students have mobile devices and half of them use smartphones and tablets for coursework. Mobile internet usage is even expected to outpace desktop internet usage by 2014.
Accessing Tutor.com Is Easy
The Tutor.com ToGo App for iPhone, iPad and iPod and the HTML5 interface for Android and other devices let students connect to tutors, save and review sessions and access resource libraries from the palms of their hands at any time.
