I love Tutor.com! Real stories from real students.

Real Story submission from Megan

My story starts I'm in the 7th grade at Middle School. I got my schedule for my classes and saw I had Pre Algebra. I said to myself “Oh great I'm so going to fail!” So first day of school I'm sitting in class thinking to myself I need to find some place that will give me help that my parents can afford and I don't have to drive like an hour away from home. So I started looking for some place that would tutor me right from home. I looked for about 2 months and finally just gave up.

Well, after about another 3 weeks my Pre Algebra teacher Mr. W. (one of the best teachers ever) said we were going to go listen to the writer of Math Doesn't Suck . When we went to go hear her speak she kept promoting Tutor.com for tutoring and I thought to myself there we go something I can use right from home. So I went home and talked it out with parents and they said that it would be good for me and easy to use! So that's how I found out that tutor.com does really work because now I'm passing Pre Algebra with 105.7% and it feels so good!

Real Story submission from Heather
One day as I sat trying to do my homework I became frustrated and almost went berserk. I tried finding a website that could help me But I found nothing, nothing that I could see.

Soon I found a site called Tutor.com I met with a tutor and I became calm. All my troubles in school soon melted away I could meet with a tutor any time, any day.

My tutors were always so helpful and fun I knew were to turn to get all my work done. Now I have more free time to play And my homework doesn't get in my way.

The moral of the story is when you have trouble Go to tutor.com and go on the double It is worth it, trust me you'll see Tutor.com can help you just as it helps me!

A Math Poem

I needed to find the right path
to help me do my math,
my mom found tutor.com
and I found that it was the "bomb",
the tutors figured out my geometry
and soon I was the best I could be.
I learned how to use Pi
and gave it a try,
Thanks tutor.com!

Tutor.com is an awesome 24/7 helpline that can help you have a strong foundation of different subjects.

When I was struggling in one of my classes, tutor.com really came through. The tutors are very helpful with each category of the different subjects. Every time I needed help, the tutors didn’t just tell me what to do, they let me start solving the problem. Then when I got to a roadblock they would give me hints on different ways to solve the problem. That helped me more than just saying do this or do that.

A big help to me was being able to have instant tutoring when I needed it. Sometimes due to work or school activities it would be late when I started homework. When I didn’t understand something from a class, I would always ask tutor.com for a little extra help and that is exactly what I got. I would go in the next day with a lot better understanding of the material.

Once I needed an outside source to proof read an English paper I wrote. I logged on and asked one of the tutors to proof read it and give advice on how things should be improved. When I got it back I saw that many things I had written were not correct. The critique from that paper helped me to get an A on that paper and helped me out with other papers I had to write. I now use the different punctuation marks and different choices of words to make my stories sound more interesting.

For juniors and seniors tutor.com is a great way to get help and proofreading on scholarship essays. I would run my essays past the tutors for a last minute set of eyes before I submitted them. That helped as they caught a few things no one else had. Plus it proved time well spent as I have received five scholarships as of today.

When my grade was falling in HP Chemistry, my classmate told me about Tutor.com and now (with the help of your tutors) I have a solid A in HP Chemistry! For all those students out there who believe that Tutor.com won't help...try it out and I'm certain you will change your mind!

 

Real Story submission from Brandon

I am in the eleventh grade at a high school on Long Island.

My mom signed me up for tutor.com about a year or so ago when she saw an ad for it. At first I was a reluctant kid; you know, "too cool for school!" Then I went on tutor.com when I had a problem understanding a math problem that we had been assigned for homework. I didn't even remember where to start! After I logged on to tutor.com, a very friendly lady walked me through my equation one step at a time. I got it!

Shortly after that, my mom suggested to me that I might use tutor.com to help study for the math portion of my SAT test. I thought "why not?" So I got a copy of an old SAT test and logged on to tutor.com and went through some math problems that I either hadn't been faced with before or had forgotten how to do. I did this a few times before the SAT test.

When I finally took the math portion of my SAT test, I was surprised at how tutor.com (and me!)had helped prepare me! Some of the algebraic problems that I wouldn't have had a clue how to do before I was able to tackle. Still others came more easily to me because I had reviewed them previously on tutor.com. My mom thought I probably raised my math portion of the SAT about 100 points!

And, as always, my mom was right. When I got my scores I was really surprised. I had done better on the math part than I thought I would.

I have been offered several merit scholarships at colleges based on my SAT scores and of course, my high school grades.

Thank you tutor.com! My mom says thanks, too! I'm off to college!

Whenever I feel like I don't really know my work at school, my mom always says you'll never be a fool.
because on Tutor.com the teachers are the best.
They always help me before my hard tests!
They ask me to tell them my question that I'm stuck on,
and help me to understand every one of them until my problem is gone.
If I have a math, or science test the very next day,
They always help me understand the work right away.
I could show you my grades, they're really the best,
And do you know why?
You don't need to guess! Tutor.com

The website I know that has the best tutoring is Tutor.com. I discovered tutor.com from a assembly at school. I had the hardest time in math. I kept on failing each test. I ended up retaking that class. When people tried to help me in math, I couldn't understand them. Soon afterwards, I picked up my free 25 minute tutor.com card and started to use. They took me step by step in my math problems. I started to understand much better. My test grades in math were 80's and 90's. I would recommend tutor.com to everyone. Thank you tutor.com for your help.

Real Story submission from Jackson

I received a Christmas gift,
It included a tutor.com discount.
I went on-line and began to utilize it,
I created my very own account.

Thus I checked with some of my math proficiency,
My science and language arts, too.
They weren't all up to date,
I must admit I wish that weren't true.

It simply took a few sessions,
Before my A in math replaced my B.
I began to enjoy all school subjects,
There was more happiness and free-time for me.

I now know so many subjects,
Such as fractions, contractions, and more.
Thanks to tutor.com,
I've opened my mental door.

 

Real Story submission from Sami

Tutor.com has been an incredible help to me in my schoolwork. It was the biggest thing that I relied on. It completely got me through my math and science class. Because of the incredible tutors, I passed through the year with a breeze. The tutors were an extreme help, and were very nice and willing to help. No matter how hard the work, they always did their best. And their "best" was beyond great. Since my classes were pretty tough, I needed to get ahead. I asked the ever so helpful tutors about the upcoming work, and they showed me everything.

I never could have made it through the year without this incredible website. Thanks Tutor.com!!!

Real Story submission from Erika

My name is Erika and I <3 TUTOR.COM! When I first tried it, I was shocked on how fast I got a tutor. I was doing my algebra homework late and it was really hard and my friends weren't picking up their phones! I was panicking but then i remembered that at my school they gave everyone a free tutor.com trial. I went to my bag thinking that this better work. I typed in the information and in seconds i was connected to a tutor. She asked me the problem and she guided me from there. She made me feel smart when I got the answer and I thought that she was really patient with me. Tutor.com is the best way to get any of your homework done in time or if you have an upcoming test. My grades have improved so much and I owe it all to tutor.com. It's just a click away! I <3 tutor.com.

I loved my tutor. Whenever I'm stuck with a hard problem i go on line and get help right away. The tutors are super nice! They never gave me the answers to my problems and sometimes i learned tricks to help me solve the problems faster! Anyone that is struggling with homework or studying, tutor.com is right for you! If I can do it anyone can! Everyone should have one. I told all my friends.

I <33 TUTOR.COM! =] THANK YOU TUTOR.COM!

 

Real Story submission from John

Just wanted to say thank you to tutor.com and Susan E. for rescuing my son's graduation from Grade 12. At 1:30 am last night, completely baffled by two trigonometry questions and nowhere to turn, I found tutor.com and by 3:00 am Susan E. had helped my son Taylor figure out these two questions which he desperately needed to give him a passing mark in math and thus graduate this year.

Just received the call from the school this morning at 9:30 am that he had passed. This was the best $30.00 I've ever spent. Please thank Susan E. and I will be letting others know about your website. Eternally grateful.

John, a relieved father

Real Story submission from Joseph

Why I use Tutor.com

I’m in a jam,
Studying for an exam-
Oh! I’m in despair!

But the tutors at tutor.com care.
They work me through the question,
They help me at every session.

Now I take the test
I try my very best
And because tutor.com made a fuss,
I got an A+!
