Occassionally we get emails from both students and tutors who have had a good experience working with our tutoring referral website, TutorMatch.com.  Since I’ve taken a short break from blogging over the holiday I thought now we would be a good time to get back into it by relating some of these positive testimonials:

Alicia G, an english and reading tutor from Canada, writes: “Hello.  I want to thank you for receiving my first client from you. Please keep the students coming!”

Susan K, a French and Spanish tutor from Schenectady, says, “I tutored a student through your company and it worked out very well. Thank you!”

And John Z, a multi-subject tutor and the Founder of Westside Tutoring in Lakewood, Ohio, has written us several times.  “Excellent response! Thank you for the referrals. Good quality referrals unlike some other tutor referral websites, you actually send people in need of assistance. Well done TutorMatch!”

“Once again, I would like to thank you for an excellent referral. I have a client for the next two weeks at a decent wage and the promise of more work and mentoring down the road, soon. Very nice. By far, your website has returned the best results.”

” Once again, TutorMatch.com has proven to be the best of the tutor referral sites I subscribe to. Not only have you sent quality leads but they have resulted in ongoing relationships that have paid many times the fee to join. Once again, well done and thanks!”

Those are just a few of our most recent testimonials … please keep them coming, and I’d be happy to feature them here!

TutorMatch (http://www.tutormatch.com), the leading online tutor referral service, announced today that 10% of all proceeds for the month of October will be donated to the Chicago-based Volunteer Tutoring organization, the Tutor Mentor Connection.

The Tutor Mentor Connection (http://www.tutormentorconnection.org/) describes their mission as dedicated to improving the availability and quality of comprehensive, long-term, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in high-poverty areas of the Chicago region and other large US cities through an ongoing, dynamic exchange of ideas.

“Our organization feels it’s time to give back to the Tutoring community, ” says Diane Palumbo, a press representative for TutorMatch.  “We’re in a helping industry – we connect tutors with parents and students who need additional education.  We can’t forget that there’s plenty of parents who need these services but simply can’t afford them.”

TutorMatch is an online tutor referral service.  Tutors can create a profile about their tutoring services on the website for free or get a premium listing for a small yearly subscription fee.  In turn, parents and students can search the database of thousands of online and local tutors for free.  Tutormatch protects their privacy and doesn’t even require them to register or sign up with the site.  Parents and students then interview potential tutors online and have their choice to meet with them one-on-one in their own neighborhood, or hire them for online tutoring services.

“For there to be tutoring/mentoring in poverty areas we don’t just need tutors, ” says Daniel Bassill, President of the Tutor Mentor Connection. “We need donors who help pay the rent and other costs of making a tutor/mentor program available.”

That’s where TutorMatch decided to step in.  “We’re a small online educational resource site, so we can’t compete with the international conglomerates commercially, ” says Palumbo.  “But we feel it’s just good corporate responsibility to provide support for the most important resource our country has to offer – children in need of education.”
TutorMatch Tutoring and Homework Help is an online tutor referral service which has been connecting students and tutors online since 1996.  Besides their primary online referral service, the company also offers the Homework Help Today blog for both students and tutors.
