Founded in January of 2007 by Dirk Wagner, Sameer Saproo, and Erik Olsson Tutorz.com is a vertical search engine helping parents and students find educational tutors. Currently Tutorz is based out of Port Hueneme, California and is a privately owned limited liability corporation (LLC) with four employees. The Tutorz.com site provides listings of over 10,000 tutors nationwide.
Tutorz' three founders, students at the University of California at Irvine (UCI), developed the company during a HiTech OCTANe computing project. The development project has recently been a strong competitor for many grants and is currently looking to earn a prize in innovative computer programming from the university.
Tutorz.com doesn’t employ its own tutors instead it provides an information hub for those looking to hire one. “The goal is to provide an innovative tutoring network that is simple, precise, and effective,” says Bryan McNutt, VP of Marketing at Tutorz.com.
Features
Vertical Search Engine
Tutor information stored in Tutorz’ database are made available to the user through our vertical search engine
(or domain specific engine). Focusing on single domain empowers our vertical search engine to increase the relevancy for results.
Users often wish to qualify their query, e.g. female tutors only, accountant, certification, or price range ($30-$40 per hour). While even advanced data retrieving techniques almost never deliver the desired relevance, our filters do a superb job in helping the user specify this complex request. As filters need to be customized for each vertical domain this task is easy to accomplish on Tutorz.
Profiles
The Tutorz.com site allows tutors to effectively establish a nationwide network. This is accomplished by posting a
tutor profile on the site. The tutor profile feature allows the tutor to publish their professional qualifications
and contact information. Tutorz.com then provides the communication hub supplying the information to a targeted
audience. Creating a detailed user profile at Tutorz.com allows students and parents to select the tutor that
fits their specific needs.
Rating System
The five star rating system and tags next to each tutor profile allows the user to choose a tutor with a high rating
and then rate their personal experience with the tutor as well. Once the student or parent has employed a tutor at
Tutorz.com they can evaluate the tutor’s performance directly on the website. Publishing the evaluation through our
rating system will help future users select an effective tutor. The Tutorz.com rating system also uses advanced
algorithms to allow user only one click to rate the tutor. This system results in more effective and accurate ratings
for each tutor.
Tutor on Google Map
Tutorz.com also provides a map with each tutor profile this can help the student or parent better locate the tutor
in their area. The map at Tutorz.com displays an icon in the general vicinity of the tutor’s location. This user
friendly mapping system integrates Google Maps and innovations at Tutorz.com to enhance the overall effectiveness
of our service.
