Location

MyGuru tutors always meet you at a mutually agreed upon location, such as a cafe, your home or a library.
 
Why? We do this to save overhead costs, which saves you both time and money. 

We are located in Houston at:

However, we work with each student independently to determine the most convenient meeting location in and around Houston for both parties.  We want to make the tutoring situation as efficient and convenient as possible.

Again, these are administrative offices only. Almost all tutoring takes place in public locations, students' homes, or online.
