We are partnering with universities like Caltech, Purdue, and NYU to disrupt the $6B/year tutoring market. In our previous work as tutors, we realized just how awful of a process it is to try to advertise and market tutoring services on one's own. It is even worse for the students looking for tutors. There is simply nowhere for them to go. Search Twitter for "math tutor" and you'll see just how many kids go without tutors because the simply can't find or afford them. It's a classic problem of an inefficient market.
