THAN 40 1000 EXPERTS ON THE
PLATFORM TO FACILITATE
KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER 2500
DIFFERENT A CD N S
A T TUTORING ARE 2 HIGHEST
VOLUME SUBJECTS BUT PEOPLE CAN
LEARN EFFECTIVELY ANYTHING AND
WE'VE ALWAYS CARE DEEPLY ABOUT
HELPING PEOPLE AND OUR ARE
OFFERING ALL OF OUR TOOLS AND
CONTENT OR ORIENTED AROUND
IMPROVING ACCESS AND
HELPING PEOPLE AND WE'VE BEEN
DOING THAT FOR 12 AND A
HALF YEARS BUT THAT THE REALITY
IS WE'VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE WE
WANTED TO DO MORE IN THE
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL
RECENTLY REALLY REIGNITED A
NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
WHAT ELSE WE CAN
DO IT.
>> OK SO THIS I MEAN FOR THOSE
THAT ARE
NOT KNOWN THERE MIGHT BE
SENDING UP NOW RIGHT, I MEAN
ARE YOU SEEING THE DEMAND JUST.
AN ASTRONOMICAL NUMBERS, WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN SEEING.
>> WE ACTUALLY PARTNERED WITH
THE ST. LOUIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN
THE STATE
OF MISSOURI HURRY TO GET THE
WORD OUT SO THERE'S ABOUT
267,000 STUDENTS IN THE STATE
OF MISSOURI IN HIGH SCHOOL.
WE ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM
THIS
PROGRAM SO IN ADDITION TO ALL
THE STUDENTS IN MISSOURI WERE
HOPING TO GET THE WORD OUT TO
PEOPLE NATIONWIDE IN
CAN REALLY BENEFIT FROM THE
PROGRAM AND WE HOPE IMPROVE
THEIR PROBABILITY OF GETTING
INTO A GREAT SCHOOL GAINING
ACCESS THE SCHOLARSHIPS AND
JUST GENERALLY DOING OUR PART
TO LEVER LEVEL THE COLLEGE
ADMISSIONS PLAYING FIELD.
>> IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORHOODS
AREAS JET-CAR THERE'S CERTAIN
ONES THEY ARE TARGETING ARE YOU
JUST SORT OF TAKING ANYTHING
THAT'S COMING AT YOU OUT.
>> THAT THE WHOLE COUNTRY OUR
LARGEST MARKETS ARE
NEW YORK CITIES, SAN FRANCISCO,
CHICAGO IT'S LARGELY BASED ON
GEOGRAPHY AND WE WANT TO HELP
PEOPLE NATIONWIDE. SO PEOPLE
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY OFTEN
DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OR LIVE
INSTRUCTION NECESSARY TO GET
GREAT TEST SCORES AND
SUFFICIENTLY PREP
FOR COLLEGE. AND IT'S NOT
SPECIFIC TO ANY ONE GEOGRAPHIC
REGION.
>> IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I
THINK PERSON I HAVE THOUGHT
ABOUT THE ESSAY TEASER THEY SEE
THAT SO THEY JUST ON THE ISS
AND THINK ABOUT IT MORE I WAS
ASKED YOU, YES, NO FORGIVE
US FOR AND THE LAST OF OUR
MEMORY BUT I MEAN HAS THAT
STADIUM ASIDE FROM I THINK THE
SCORE CHANGING FROM I THINK
WHAT WAS IT
1600 TO KNOW BEFORE I MEAN WHAT
ARE SOME OTHER CHANGES THAT YOU
KNOW YOU GOT TO KEEP UP WITH IN
THE TUTORING ASPECT OF THESE
EXAMS.
>> WELL A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE
DONE IS ORIENTED AROUND
IMPROVING THE MODALITY IN THE
ENGAGEMENT SO TUTORING LONG AGO
WAS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED OFF
LINE WE WORKED HARD TO BRING IT
ONLINE AND MAKE IT WE'RE
ACCESSIBLE SO STUDENTS
THESE DAYS EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO
LEARN ONLINE THEY EXPECT TO BE
ABLE TO PULL UP
THEIR SMARTPHONE AND CLICK A
BUTTON IN VIDEO CHAT ON DEMAND
AND SO WE'VE HAD TO INVEST
HEAVILY IN THE UNDERLYING
TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE TO
ENGAGE THE WAY THAT THE MODERN
STUDENT WANTS TO ENGAGE.
>> TO SUPPORT BEHIND THIS
INITIATIVE TRACK WHERE YOU
FOUND SUPPORT FOR THIS.
>> WELL REALLY EVERYWHERE WE'VE
ASKED SO WE TALK TO THE MAYOR
OF ST. LOUIS SHE WAS VERY
INTERESTED IN HELPING US
ADVANCE ITS PROGRAM WE TALKED
TO THE GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI, HE
SAID
EARLY FELL PASSIONATE ABOUT
WORK FORCE TRAINING AND ACCESS
TO EDUCATION
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S
REALLY EASY TO GET BEHIND
BECAUSE IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT
NEED. I THINK THERE'S A BROAD
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ISN'T
A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD TODAY AND
UH IT'S TIME THIS TIME TO DO
MORE AND WE WANT TO DO OUR
PART.
>> YOU KNOW MANY RESPECTS
TUTORING HAS BEEN RELEGATED TO
A CERTAIN KIND OF SOCIAL
ECONOMIC STATUS HERE AND LEVEL
IN THE US, SO IT'S GREAT TO SEE
YOU TRYING TO WIDEN THE
OPPORTUNITY HERE I'M TRYING TO
FIND LIKE A CATCH TO ALL OF
THIS IS THERE ONE YOU KNOW IS
THERE A CONTINGENCY IN ORDER TO
GET THIS TO BRING HIS ARE ANY
REALLY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS.
>> NO CAUSE WHATSOEVER JUST GO
TO VARSITY TUTORS DOT
COM SLASH FREE AND SIGN I MEAN
THE REALITY IS OVER THE YEARS
WE FACILITATED MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF LIVE INSTRUCTION IN
TUTORING AND WE OFTEN HAVE
PEOPLE IN CHOIR WHO JUST SIMPLY
CAN'T AFFORD OUR SERVICES NO
MATTER WHAT WE'VE DONE A LOWER
THE PRICE WHICH IS SOMETHING
THAT WE WORKED REALLY REALLY
HARD TO DO.
AND THIS IS OUR EFFORT TO GIVE
BACK IN AT A SCALE THAT
PREVIOUSLY WASN'T POSSIBLE
AND SO WE'RE MAKING AN
EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH QUALITY
INSTRUCTOR AVAILABLE WE'RE
GIVING AWAY OUR DATA IN
PRACTICE TESTS WE'RE GIVING
AWAY 650 PAGE TEST PREP BOOK
WE'RE GIVING AWAY OUR MOBILE WE
WANT TO DO OUR PART TO GIVE
BACK AND WE THINK THAT THERE
ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
KIDS WHO CAN BENEFIT.
>> OK SO AT THE SAME TIME
BECAUSE HIS COMPANY'S BEEN
AROUND FOR AWHILE, CHECK ME
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE
BUSINESS RIGHT. THE
MONEY-MAKING OF
THE APP GRATION TO KEEP GROWING
AND THAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS
ABOUT GETTING BACK AND DOING
GOOD OBVIOUSLY WHICH WE TOTALLY
SUPPORT BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY WE
DOING TO TRY TO GROW THE
BUSINESS.
>> WE HAVE A HUGE ONE ON ONE
INSTRUCTION BUSINESS SO PEOPLE
ARE INQUIRING ABOUT SWAHILI
AND FRENCH AND STRUCTURAL
ENGINEERING AND EFFECTIVELY
ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD
POSSIBLY WANT TO LEARN IN A ONE
ON
ONE SETTING WE ACTUALLY
FACILITATE THAT WE HAVE HIGH
GROWTH AND SO AT THIS POINT
WE'RE OPERATING PLATFORM THAT
FACILITATES MORE ONLINE
TUTORING THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN
THE
UNITED STATES. WE FEEL LIKE OUR
BUSINESS DOES REALLY WELL, BUT
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
TO A GREATER EXTENT
AND SO WE HAVE A VARIETY OF
GROWTH STRATEGIES RELATED TO
FURTHER DURING THAT ONE ON ONE
LIKE BUSINESS. WE ALSO LAST
YEAR WATCH LIVE ONLINE CLASSES.
SO YOU COULD HAVE A FRENCH
CLASS AND AN A P C
