How we are different

  • Get the tutor who is perfect for your child

    Our personalized matching process considers your child’s grade level, learning styles, and much more to connect them with the tutor who is qualified to teach them specifically.

  • Personal learning services that reduce stress

    We offer premium services such as a dedicated personal learning consultant, proctored in-person tests, college admissions advice, and much more.

  • Tools that empower learning

    We support you with effective learning tools such as timely session recaps, learning style tracking, and soft skill analysis. We also offer the ability to learn online through our versatile Virtual Classroom.

  • We take care of our tutors so they can take care of you.

    Thanks to our platform, Gooroo tutors don’t have to spend time on logistics or payment, and can spend their time focusing on helping your child improve.

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 tutors without hesitation and has developed a regular tutor/study regime.

  • 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
  • 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.
