Company Summary

We activate high-achieving students as a network peer tutors (via a sharing economy model), enabling top students employment opportunities that cultivate career skills. In turn, the platform scales access to peer tutoring via on-campus and online interactions.

When institutions partner with us, they launch a tutoring model that reduces overhead and increases retention - unveiling richer data around student learning & development.
