About Tutor.com, Inc.
Tutor.com, Inc. was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in New York, NY. The company provides live, on-demand online tutoring services to K-12 students, college students, and adult learners across more than 250 subjects, connecting users with vetted tutors through a web-based platform.
Tutor.com's services are distributed through partnerships with schools, school districts, public libraries, colleges and universities, and organizations such as the U.S. Department of Defense, which offers the service to military service members and their families. The company also serves individual consumers and corporate clients seeking academic support and test preparation.
Tutor.com was acquired by The Princeton Review in 2013, and both companies later became part of IXL Learning following IXL's acquisition of The Princeton Review and Tutor.com in 2021.

Competitive Landscape
Who Tutor.com, Inc. competes with, and how they differ.
Varsity Tutors (Nerdy Inc., NYSE: NRDY) is the largest direct-to-consumer live online tutoring marketplace, competing head-on for K-12 and college tutoring and test prep, using a freelance-tutor marketplace model versus Tutor.com's employed-tutor model sold mainly through school, library, and military institutional contracts.
Khan Academy offers free, self-paced video lessons and practice exercises rather than live 1:1 tutors; many of the same K-12 schools and libraries that license Tutor.com also point students to Khan Academy for homework help at no cost.
