Schoolhouse Made my Day

Dec 10, 2024

I joined the Academic Competition Mentorship program in the enrichment subworld and me and my mentee built rapport and now we are friends.

Schoolhouse completely changed my application as an international student

Nov 13, 2024

The Schoolhouse certifications are the only way I have to showcase my mastery, as I don't have access to APs in my country. Being a tutor allowed me to showcase my knowledge to colleges in the US. Than you so much, Schoolhouse!

Schoolhouse made me a topper

Nov 24, 2024

Before I discovered SHW, SAT seemed out of my reach. I also had to take the PSAT 8/9 in October. A few months back in my summer before 9th grade, I was scrolling through Khan Academy and I saw a SHW advertisement. I immediately made an account and got my first certification in Pre Algebra. I was so excited to be apart of this community. I kept on taking SAT and classes I was taking in high school. My tutors were very encouraging of my learning. This past October I have taken the PSAT 8/9 and I got a score in the 93 percentile. I am glad I have found SHW it has helped throughout my education very well.

From Learner to Leader: My Journey at Schoolhouse.world

Nov 8, 2024

The journey from being a student to becoming a tutor is a testament to the transformative power of education, and my story is a reflection of this incredible path. It all began when I first joined Schoolhouse.world as a curious learner, eager to expand my knowledge and overcome academic challenges. Little did I know, this platform would soon become a pivotal part of my growth, not only academically but also personally.

I was nervous to tutor my first session

Nov 19, 2024

Hi I'm Zaina from India and one day I thought I should also start tutoring to share some knowledge and build confidence but when it was time for the class I was nervous but then I also had a co-host Vedaa who encouraged me to do it and even the learners were awesome and to be honest SHW is the best platform for students I would recommend this to everyone it is really helpful. Thank you SHW

Tutoring is more than just teaching !!

Oct 14, 2024

Tutoring is more than just teaching—it’s about empowering others and building confidence. Schoolhouse has provided an amazing platform to learn and grow, not just for students but for me as a tutor. When I see a student’s "aha" moment, I know I’m making a difference. Each student brings unique challenges, which pushes me to adapt, learn, and grow. At Schoolhouse, the diversity of students from different cultures and backgrounds enriches every session. Tutoring also allows me to live my belief of giving back to society through education. It’s not just about academic success; it’s about inspiring others to reach their full potential, while I continue to evolve as both a teacher and a learner.

What Learners Have To Say About Sessions

Professional young man speaks very good as a teacher, as someone would with a great deal of experience. Vismay P. is very knowledgeable about programming. I would definitely recommend this tutor. Also he shared many recourses that will be very helpful to me in my continued learning. There were 2 people in the class and attention was given to each person fairly so that each person took from the class.

(Parent here) Excellent teaching -- the best tutoring we've seen so far. Very organized, useful time management tips, engaging process of letting kids try the questions on their own then calling on them to explain, and helpful review of key learnings at the end. Thank you!
Learner in Shiva K's session

I don’t know how but your way of explaining complex topics make so much sense to me. I tend to struggle with a lot of topics because I am definitely more of a hands on learner which was difficult in a virtual school setting since I tend to not ask a lot of questions even though I know I should. I really appreciate how attentive you are and if you continue doing topic like tonight’s, I will probably pass the exam because of you :’).

Ananyaa was super nice and chill. She gave some great tips I'll be sure to use from now on.
Learner in Ananyaa N's session

The tutor was amazing! She provided us with an engaging session wherein she cleared all our doubts. The slides and the annotations were exceptionally informative. I hope to attend many more sessions by this tutor.
