Schoolhouse.world openned up my dream after many years of self questioning. It was my dream to have free online platform for foreign interractions and discussions with very far people. It is of much pleasure for i to be part of it. I pray to God that it lasts even next year. Amen

Endless Learning: The Wonder of Schoolhouse

Sep 8, 2025

Learning is what the community on Schoolhouse is built on. Learning is what the tutors strive to help learners with. Learning is the core of Schoolhouse—and what makes it so great. Even as a tutor, the vibrant community on Schoolhouse never fails to deliver in terms of vast knowledge attainable. Everyone contributes, everyone shares, everyone collaborates for the goal of enlightening the brains of so many people—and it is simply beautiful. I started on Schoolhouse as a learner, as all tutors do. I wanted help with Pre-Algebra, and I found, to my utmost delight, that there were so many people there to help. My teachers sometimes got mildly annoyed at my barrages of questions—but these tutors didn’t! I then moved on to tutoring. First, live help—then, small series—and then larger ones. The confidence I built as a tutor and the lessons I learned about connection, preparation, and learning—those are also the lessons we learned as tutors. As I hosted tutor onboarding sessions, my confidence grew. It was then I began to learn how to help others with those deeper lessons, the lessons I enjoyed, and continue the spread of learning. Schoolhouse is beautiful in so many different ways—the community, the sessions, and the platform—and I’m overjoyed to be a part of it.

Finding Community Through Tutoring 🌍

Aug 24, 2025

When I first joined Schoolhouse.world, I didn’t expect it to become such an important part of my life. I started as a learner, just looking for extra help, and I found not only support with academics but also a community that believed in sharing knowledge freely. With time, I began tutoring — nervous at first, but encouraged by the kindness I had experienced as a student. Slowly, one session turned into many. Each learner brought their own story, their own challenges, and their own spark of determination. I learned as much from them as they did from me. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to connect with learners from different countries, host study sessions, and watch students grow in confidence. But more than the numbers, it’s the quiet “thank you” after a session or the moment when a difficult concept finally clicks that makes this journey meaningful. Schoolhouse has taught me that progress doesn’t always show up right away — sometimes it’s invisible, but it’s there. And it has reminded me that when people come together to learn, they create something bigger than themselves. I’m grateful to be a small part of this community, and I look forward to continuing to learn, teach, and grow alongside everyone here. 💙

I did the Summer course with the best sat tutor I’ve ever had. The course held me accountable to work hard outside of just the meetings and it worked out!

Tutoring Journey from Learner to Tutor and Beyond :)

Aug 9, 2025

Hi! My name is Jagad Krishnan, and this is my journey to becoming a senior tutor in the SAT Prep and SAT Bootcamp subworlds. I hope this motivates someone else to become a tutor or helps them understand that anything is possible with a little bit of hard work. I started off as a sophomore struggling to accept the fact that I had gotten a score on the SAT that was lower than what I expected. This caused me a lot of anxiety and stress because I had high expectations for myself. My outlook on life was quite bleak, and it didn’t get any better due to the fact that my friends had started to outscore me as well. Then, by almost lucky coincidence, I found Schoolhouse when I was studying for my next SAT on Khan Academy. I attended a few sessions and found that I really enjoyed being a learner. Even though my Reading and Writing score was low, I had a high enough score in Math to become a Math SAT tutor — but I decided to push myself and insisted that I would become a Reading and Writing tutor. At this point, I have to give a huge shoutout to Nitara S, who was my first tutor on Schoolhouse. She was tranquil, sagacious, and vivacious — qualities that I try to exemplify when I tutor. She lit a spark in me — a drive to learn and one day tutor. Then, through a lot of hard work, I was able to get a higher Reading and Writing score, and as promised, I signed up to become a tutor. Now, I'm a senior tutor in both SAT Bootcamp and SAT Prep, and I host a 35-member series on SAT Prep. So, I want to take this moment to tell everyone: if I (a lazy sophomore) can self-study my way to a high SAT score and end up teaching the very subject that stopped me from getting a 1500 in the first place, then every learner on this platform has the potential to achieve an amazing score they can be proud of — and maybe even become a tutor to pass on what they’ve learned.

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.
Learner in Vismay P's session

(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 :’).
Learner in Karen J's session

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.
