It seems like it was just yesterday when Tutor.com was a new organization selling the first online tutoring and homework program to a group of innovative libraries. Ten years later, 83% of libraries offer some kind of online homework help program as part of their mission of lifelong learning.

Ten Years. Ten Facts.

 2001:  Our first libraries sign on and offer on demand tutoring including Boston Public Library and San Francisco Public Library - still partners with us today!

2011:  Tutor.com To Go™ launches – the first and only online tutoring app for libraries.  We hit 6.8 million sessions  and counting!

We have been incredibly fortunate to work with some amazing librarians throughout the years. They have taught us so much about working with and serving diverse communities. We’re proud to be featured in more than 2,000 library sites across the country serving all ages –  Kindergartners through college students and job seekers too.

Watch our 10th Anniversary video to see many of the librarians, students, governors and mayors who have helped bring online, on demand learning to millions of students across the country. You can also see our old logos, our favorite smiley face costume and the different Online Classrooms where students have received help.

We hope to see many of you at ALA Annual for a cake and champagne celebration right at our booth #859 on Saturday, June 25th at 3:30 p.m. You can also check out Tutor.com To Go in the new mobile pavilion booth #816C. No matter where you see us, be sure to pick up your very own Tutor.com beads – a must-have in New Orleans!

Thanks to everyone for a great decade!
