1:1 in-person tutoring for Related residents at Sandbox Playground

About Sandbox Playground

As the world continues to maneuver around hybrid and remote learning, Gooroo has worked hard to develop a program where students can effectively learn in-person in a safe environment. Gooroo has partnered with Related to supplement and guide their student residents towards success with a personalized learning environment that is also socially distant.

At Sandbox Playground, Gooroo helps students by personally matching them with an experienced and engaging one on one tutor. Research shows that 75% of students who receive tutoring achieve higher grades than their classmates. Gooroo is exclusively bringing the best tutors to Related Residents at Sandbox Playground while also providing clear safety guidelines and precautionary measures.

Our Gooroo tutors

Gooroo goes through a rigorous vetting process for each of our instructors. We require all of our tutors to have a minimum of 2 years teaching experience along with a minimum college G.P.A of 3.5 from top, competitive colleges.

We do this to have instructors who are passionate, articulate, personable, and excited to teach!

Our tutors can teach over 300 subjects. Try and find a subject they don't teach – we dare you!

Gooroo tutors are educators and mentors ready to help your child

I am a Chief Administrative Officer of a business tech company, and an adjunct lecturer at NYU. I hold a J.D., an M.S. in Computer Science, and a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science. I value education and am grateful for how it helped make it possible for me to reach this level of success in my career. I love helping students achieve their academic goals and gain self-confidence.

Joanna, teaches computer science
I work as a Technical Architect at Salesforce and serve as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Specialist in the US Army Reserve. To me, teaching is about providing targeted instructions in a way that requires little, if any, effort for the students to understand. What keeps me most passionate about teaching is seeing my students transform as a direct result of our collaborative effort.

Samwel, teaches elementary school math
Gooroo lets me connect with students that I share common passions with. For example, with one student, I not only helped boost his SAT scores but also worked with him on a short film for his college application. Whether it’s with math, ELA, literature, or French, I always bring my love of learning to what I teach.

Julian, teaches reading
I have been a tutor with Gooroo since 2016! I have extensive experience in tutoring the ACT, SAT, ISEE, SSAT, and SHSAT. Over the years, I have helped a number of students improve their test scores and get admitted to fantastic schools such as Dalton and Horace Mann.

Yoojin, teaches test prep
I love being able to share knowledge and skills with my students, watching them grow and learn so much in the process. When teaching robotics, I make sure our sessions are interactive, making the environment conducive to learning while simultaneously making the student feel comfortable. Not only does this increase the student's confidence but it also helps me get to know them and their learning styles a little better.

What parents say about Gooroo...

Gooroo made it super easy to connect each of my daughters with their perfect tutor. The new membership platform encourages them to get help from their Gooroo without hesitation and has developed a regular tutor/study regime.
— Phil P. Father of a middle school student learning SHSAT
My son Jonathan's robotics tutor Masuma is FANTASTIC! She is conscientious, prepared, patient and a great teacher!
— Randi S. Mother of a middle school student learning Robotics
Lucian, our tutor for math, is like the best ever. He is helping my son so much. Words can’t describe how satisfied I am with him. Gooroo really really gave me a great recommendation. My son loves him, and he has gone above and beyond. Even as far as helping my son over the phone. My son had a take-home test, and Lucian said that he can still call him over the phone to help with any questions. He is the best ever.
— Taihisha J. Parent of elementary student learning Math
