Hi PH community! 👋 If you believe the next generation of education should be personalized, we agree!

Some of the initial features and capabilities include: ✅Automated tutor and student matching ✅Managing tutoring sessions and payments ✅Viewing feedback from tutors after each session ✅A student profile that tracks learning, soft skills, learning style over time We are currently serving the five boroughs of NYC. If you or your child might benefit from regular tutoring, we invite you to request a Gooroo and see what matches you get 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫 Use the code “PH80” for $80 off your first month! 🎉 Thanks for checking out Gooroo!

Hi hunters! 🙌 Thanks for checking us out. I wanted to briefly share about why we created Gooroo. After I served in the Korean army for 2 life-changing years, I returned to college and became increasingly overwhelmed by my coursework as the semester progressed. I knew I needed help specifically tailored to my hands-on learning style, and I realized I didn’t even know where to start looking. That’s when I realized Gooroo needed to exist. Our proprietary algorithm matches tutors to students based on fit, and our machine-based learning tools allow us to assist each student throughout their entire learning journey. We not only want to help with school but also want to spark excitement for lifetime learning. This is just our first step, and we appreciate all of your support and feedback. Hugs and loves, Scott

I needed an LSAT tutor ASAP, and that is exactly what I got. I learned the test from scratch and even made a friend out of it. I really don’t know what I would have done had Gooroo not come to my rescue. I can proudly say that I’ll be attending law school in the fall.

Pros:

Gooroo makes tutoring so personalized and so accessible.

Cons:

No idea

Gooroo has been with us every step of the way, caring about the success of our child—from the first moments of ordinary test prep, to the more challenging time of helping our our son to get back on track academically after suffering concussions. Gooroo cares. This is personal for them. They want their students to succeed. Scott, as Director, has never let us feel anything other than that he cares. Gooroo is a first rate test prep and tutoring company, but they have the time to personalize, to care so deeply about the child. It's what you want in educating your child, that those teaching care to understand the person. Gooroo always goes that extra mile.

Is instructor feedback stored securely in your database? It's important for privacy issues.

Absolutely, @eamonn_carey. We take privacy very seriously and follow industry best practices for data management. The student data is persisted in an encrypted form and we take all the necessary measures to ensure that only parents can have access to the feedback. Other than that, we comply with COPPA and only collect data about students under 13 from their parents with consent.

How are your quarterly reports look like? How do you draft them?

@josephfryling Hi Joe, check out our sample report here: https://bit.ly/2JMSQ2o. Every quarter, customers receive a progress report from their dedicated personal learning consultant. The report contains a summary of feedback we received from tutors after each session, challenges encountered and achievements accomplished by the student during the period, plus an actionable study plan recommended by the consultant. We are also working on adding infographics to the report that visualizes the student's learning frequency, learning focus, and the development of their soft skills.

@jiajia_zhang Hi JiaJia! Awesome product and thumbs up for the well thought out UX on the website. It really does create a sense of assurance to customers that they lose nothing if they signup. Just a first thought, do you help students to identify their interest as well ?
Fang Liang
Will the app offer tutoring for pretty niche subjects, such as data science or quantitative finance?
Jiajia Zhang
Maker
Thanks for your interest, @fang_liang ! Yes we do have tutors in advanced-level subjects. In fact, Gooroo initially started as a platform matching college students with their peers for one-on-one tutoring. We've helped a lot of college students and adults succeed in class in the past 3 years. Here's a demo for an overview of the product: https://youtu.be/6Km0dBP652w.

Saw that you guys are in NYC; are you going to be in other cities soon?

Hi @howonsuh. We currently only focus on the NYC market to make sure we serve the customers here well before we expand. But we are working on tools for virtual learning to accommodate students who want to have sessions with tutors in a different city.
