Zovio Announces TutorMe Partnership with Post University
CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Zovio (Nasdaq: ZVO), an education technology services company, announced that TutorMe, a leading provider of 24/7 online tutoring services, has been selected as an on-demand homework service for students of Post University, based in Waterbury, Conn.
"We are honored to be selected by Post University because of their reputation for being focused on student success," said Myles Hunter, TutorMe CEO. "We will be able to help students both on campus and online with any subject they find challenging, increasing their chance of a positive outcome. Our technology connects students with a tutor in less than 30 seconds, and we provide many ways for tutors and students to collaborate one-on-one, including virtual whiteboards, screen sharing, video, and live editing."
TutorMe replaced the university's previous online tutoring service because of its wider concentration of subjects, video chat accessibility, and graduate-level assistance. Students can also request a specific tutor to help them each time, potentially building relationships with a TutorMe tutor that could last throughout their university experience. TutorMe is available for students now, and launched along with the university's new Center for Academic Success, which provides both peer and professional tutors housed on campus.
"TutorMe was the best choice for us to complement our new Center for Academic Success and help students succeed in their classes," said Assistant Provost Dana Wilkie. "We especially value TutorMe's professional tutors in over 300 subjects who provide our students the help they need any time of day or night, along with the range of collaboration and video tools those tutors can use, whether they're helping an online or an on-campus student."
