Tutorspree helps you find the best local tutors. We're a marketplace where parents and students find the tutor the tutor they really want, and where great tutors get the clients they deserve.
About Us
The idea behind Tutorspree goes all the way back to high school. Back then, finding a tutor was largely driven by randomness and word of mouth.
Then we saw our friends - teachers and grad students - losing their jobs in the recession. What did they do? They went looking for tutoring gigs by sticking flyers up on telephone poles. "That's crazy! It hasn't changed!" we thought, and we set out to fix the problems parents have finding great private tutors, and the problems great tutors have finding good clients.
And that's how we ended up here. Let us know what you think, we love feedback.
Aaron loves talking about Tutorspree, and how it’s all part of a plan to make sure students have access to the same kind of great tutoring that helped get him into Harvard.
When not working on Tutorspree, Aaron can be found on his Cannondale, working with the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Registry, or walking around Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Josh makes sure Tutorspree runs like a well oiled machine. He's fine with that as long as this isn't the type of machine they're referring to, because that would just be crazy.
On a side note, Josh enjoys obscure indie rock, hiking and warm weather. In a previous life Josh worked in consulting, finance, helped run a homeless shelter and completed all three levels of the CFA exam.
Ryan translates product ideas and designs into a living, breathing web application. He wasn't particularly good at Geometry in the 10th grade and could have used a good tutor. Before Tutorspree, Ryan was the lead developer at SeatGeek, and worked in finance.
