Tutor.com is an online tutoring company that connects students to tutors in an online classroom. The service offers on-demand and scheduled tutoring to students in grades 4 through 12 and college. Users can connect with live tutors online in more than 40 subjects including math, science, essay writing, foreign language and test prep. Since launching in 1998, the company has facilitated over 16 million tutoring sessions with approximately 3,000 tutors.

Tutor.com was founded in 1998 by George Cigale. In its early years, the company focused on partnerships with libraries across the United States who would provide online tutoring to their patrons. The company has since expanded to multiple markets including colleges, universities, employee benefits, the United States Department of Defense and also consumer services for families to purchase directly.

In January 2013, IAC announced a purchase of Tutor.com for an undisclosed amount.[5] Then in August 2014 Princeton Review was acquired by Tutor.com, which was still an IAC company at that time.[6] On March 31, 2017, IAC, owner of Match Group, sold the Princeton Review along with Tutor.com to ST Unitas, a Korean education company.[7][8]

Tutor.com is located at IAC headquarters in Manhattan, New York.{{Update inline|?=yes|date=May 2018}}

The company has been featured prominently in The Wall Street Journal,[9] Forbes,[10] The New York Times[11] and CNN[12] when discussing the increasing trend of on-demand tutoring and educational technology.

Competitors to Tutor.com exist in the realm of scheduled tutoring (Tutor Matching Service, Tutors.com), instant tutoring space (Chegg, Nerdify), and hybrid models (Skooli).

Tutor.com for Military families is a Department of Defense funded program to provide online tutoring and homework help for U.S. Military Families.[13]

Leadership

Tutor.com was founded by George Cigale in 1998 who served as CEO through April 2013 later serving as Founder and Chairman.

In April 2013 Mandy Ginsberg took over as CEO.[14] Ginsberg previously served as CEO of Match.com. Ginsberg often appears in the press to discuss the increasing trend of online tutoring[15][16] with services like Chegg Tutors (InstaEDU), e-Tutor, Bookmytrainings,[17] and Sylvan Learning.[18] and the issues that families face when it comes to homework and preparing for college. Notable appearances include The Today Show segment "What You Need to Know About Tutors" and Parenting.com's article "Key Signs Your Child May Need a Tutor."[19][20]

{{As of|2018|05}} Andy Feld is the CEO of Princeton Review while Kate Eberle Walker is the CEO of Tutor.com.[1][2][3]
