Thanks for checking out Gooroo! We’d love to hear your feedback as we continue to improve our product.
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
Hi @mhnoh14. When parents submit a request, we encourage them to provide us with detailed information about their child. After that, we assign them a Personal Learning Consultant. The consultant is the parent's go-to person for everything learning related, including when they have strong opinions on the curriculum and want to inform the tutor. Of course, they can also communicate with the tutor directly about their needs and develop the curriculum together. Parents' input is essential for the tutor to have as much context about the student as possible, especially in the beginning of the relationship.
After each session, we ask tutors to provide feedback on the session to the parent to keep them in the loop of their child's learning. Our goal is to facilitate communication between parents and tutors and help them get aligned on the curriculum and strategies.

Any plans to expand service to Korea in the forseeable future? Asian students could also greatly benefit from this product!
Thanks @laura_chah! We are building a virtual learning tool so students from anywhere in the world can have sessions with our tutors. Would definitely love to expand and localize our product for Asian students when we're ready. It's on our agenda!

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.
Gooroo offers a variety of qualified classes for a good value but I'd like to comment more about their company philosophy which I was impressed by as others have already commented enough about the benefits of the platform.
Gooroo takes very sincere and smart approach towards education. They not only take care of the quality of classes and tutors, but also consider how those education will affect to the students, and I think that is very responsible and important attitude required for companies who's in the education industry.
@jeehyun_kim This is so kind of you! It means so much to the Gooroo team.

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.
