Improving Academic PerfORMANCE

MyGuru students seek private tutoring for a variety of reasons. Some are “A” students today, but striving for the best grade in the class through focused tutoring sessions in “problem” areas.  Others are “D” students, looking for long term help to improve their general conceptual understanding.  Some are already scoring above the 90^th percentile on a standardized test, but realize that getting into an Ivy League university or one of the top graduate, MBA, Law, or Medical schools is only getting more intense, and thus seek private tutoring to squeeze out a few extra points on the test.  But, others are truly struggling, scoring well below average, and in desperate need of the confidence to perform at or above average.

We recently released a really simple video with a 5 step plan for studying for standardized tests.  Enjoy.

Over the past year, we’ve begun offering online tutoring, in addition to our core in-person tutoring.  We’ve noticed something interesting – online tutoring seems much less popular among students than it should be (in our opinion).

Every once in a while, someone requests an in-person tutor but we don’t have one available, and we thus suggest they try online tutoring.  However, in almost all cases, even when we offer free online tutoring for one hour to encourage them to give it a try, they decline to do so and search for a tutor from a different company that they’ll have to pay full price for.

MyGuru is excited to announce a new partnership with BenchPrep.
