New York, NY, September 13, 2016 — Tutor.com, the largest online tutoring service in the U.S., announced today that the company had reached a milestone of delivering 14 million one-to-one tutoring and homework help sessions.

Derk Riechers, Director of SCVC (South Carolina Virtual College) of Florence Darlington Technical College, which offers Tutor.com to its students shared that "when I see students return happy and excited about the service that Tutor.com provides, that’s what helps reaffirm the success of the program for me. I can’t tell you how many students visit my office and say ‘I was going to drop this class,’ or ‘I've been struggling with this class, but with this online tutoring, it has helped me tremendously.’"
Tutor.com not only delivers timely academic support, but also provides insight to educators and administrators into specific academic challenges encountered by their students through its Predictive Insights Data Analytics service. Early alerts are generated by specific student behaviors such as lack of prerequisite knowledge or lack of content mastery. The intended outcome is to accelerate the intervention timeline to increase class/course completion and improve retention rates.
"Our tutors have generated more than 200,000 Predictive Insights early alerts to let our K-12 and higher-education partners know when specific students may need extra support in targeted subject areas," said White.
A 2015 efficacy study by Ruffalo Noel Levitz and funded by Tutor.com found that 88% of students across four community colleges who used online tutoring returned for the following semester, compared with 70% of students who did not engage with an online tutor. Through this study, online tutoring was found to improve course completion and student persistence.
After serving 14M sessions, Tutor.com has a clear view of where students get stuck and seek online tutoring help: For college-level students, the most frequently chosen subject for tutoring is Essay Writing, followed by College Algebra. For students in grades K-12, Tutor.com most frequently provides support in Algebra and Algebra II, followed by Calculus.
