Passion for Learning with Tutree
Thanks to the development of edtech in recent years, parents are able to order a qualified tutor in the local community with the click of a button. Tutree is an on-demand tutoring service that was launched because founder and CEO Pranay Nath had a passion for education and a love for teaching. The majority of tutors are graduate students, with some teachers and a few exceptions of high school students with AP credit, to teach kids that need help in certain subjects. The service offers a wide range of skill sets like computer, geometry, Spanish, SAT and English speaking tutoring for overseas students. For a parent’s peace of mind, tutors are background checked and screened through the National Sex Offender Registry, among other resources. The company has grown exponentially and is completely self-funded. To date they have 12-13k tutors representing over 1000 US universities, served 5000 students to date, and expanded to 18 cities.
Helping Students Succeed with Everly
In Los Angeles, two brothers, Michael and Mark Berookim, grew up without the opportunity to access private tutors and were driven by a passion to help students succeed. Together they launched Everly, with the goal of getting a tutor to a student in under an hour. Tutors come from a variety of backgrounds, including certified teachers, industry professionals, undergraduate, and graduate students with experience in tutoring or teaching skills. Everly takes on the burden of screening each tutor through resourcing multiple layers of criminal and background checks and verifying their identity. Read more about education on TechCo
