A Place for Opportunity

Feb 19, 2025

When I joined Schoolhouse in October 2024, I honestly didn’t know how active and engaged the community would be. After spending a couple of weeks acquiring certifications in Pre-Algebra, I quickly realized just how vibrant Schoolhouse was. Tutors can get help in seconds from user support, the Slack channel, and their cohosts, while learners can receive quality guidance on a variety of subjects in just minutes. As I started tutoring more, I immediately wanted to become more involved in the community of tutors and learners. Today, I help new tutors get started by answering questions in #tutoring-support on Slack, and I am always looking for opportunities to guide learners in the Math subworlds. Moving forward, I hope to take on more responsibilities by joining one of the volunteer teams at Schoolhouse. Whether it's helping with user support, protecting Schoolhouse with content review, or another initiative, I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute on a larger scale. Being part of a team that works to improve the community and support both tutors and learners would be a rewarding way to give back to the platform that has given me so much. Looking back, even though I’ve only been part of Schoolhouse for a few months, joining has already been one of the best decisions I’ve made. It has given me a place to grow as a tutor, connect with an inspiring community, and make a real impact on learners around the world. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and to continue this journey, take on new challenges, and help make Schoolhouse an even better place for everyone.

A Chance to Teach, A Chance to Learn

Jan 25, 2025

What a wonderful combination! Last year I found myself scoring almost perfectly on the SAT Reading section, but I consistently struggled with math. My passion and love is English, and when I was given the opportunity to tutor, I leaped at the chance. Simultaneously, I met amazing math tutors who helped me succeed in my weak areas alongside my English tutoring sessions. It was the most perfect set-up. I helped me attain the score I needed, and set me up to pursue my dreams! Thank you so much Schoolhouse. I wouldn't be where I am today without this platform and without the amazing people who sacrifice their time to help others!

A way to give back

Feb 16, 2025

Ever since god knows when, I have wanted to teach. For the past 7 (almost 8 now) years, I have taught privately in person but when I discovered Schoolhouse, I was like "Look at that. Now I can finally leave my impact on people worldwide!" and that is what I have been committed to doing. It's been a year here and I just love this community a lot. I have taught many rather interesting people here and it is just an enjoyment to see them learn and grow!

More Than Just Learning: Finding Home at Schoolhouse

Feb 12, 2025

I am a homeschooled student from Myanmar, and for most of my life, my world was small—just me, my books, and the four walls of my room. Connecting with others beyond my family felt impossible, and honestly, I never thought I was missing out on much. But everything changed in April of last year when I joined Schoolhouse.world. At first, it was just another learning platform. Little did I know, it would become so much more—a place where I found not only knowledge but also friendships, encouragement, and a sense of belonging I never knew I needed. Schoolhouse became my safe zone. It gave me a space to grow, to speak, to laugh, and most importantly, to connect. I met people who left a mark on my heart: 🌟 Tasheen U – My favorite tutor, my biggest supporter, the person who helped me achieve a perfect SAT Math score. I wouldn’t have made it without you. 🌟 My SAT tutors – Litisha B, Dickinson T, Bryan E, Seth P, Srish P, Isaac H, Helena C, Helena H, Isha B, Ria D. Each of you played a part in my journey, and I am forever grateful. 🌟 Priyanshu K – My best buddy, the one who made this journey even more special. Before Schoolhouse, my life was simple: eat, sleep, study—repeat. Now, each day holds meaning. Even on difficult days, this community never fails to put a smile on my face. I cherish every moment, every conversation, every late-night study session. These memories are golden hours, ones I will hold onto even as they start to fade. And while life moves forward, I hope—just maybe—our paths will cross again someday. To everyone who has been a part of my journey, thank you. You’ve changed my life in ways I never expected.

An amazing platform

Dec 30, 2024

Hello everyone. I am Jasurbek from Uzbekistan. I was truly happy as a teacher when I came across this website and its opportunities for learners from different geographical locations. Because unless I found this platform, I would not have reached my full potential as an English tutor. As a learner, this website helped me learn something new from various teachers and build discipline in my academic life. Additionally, as a teacher, I can solidify my knowledge and skills by organizing lessons and taking various tests. So, I want to say thank you to the founders of this amazing platform

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.
