Inspired by our internet neighbor, Khan AcademyGaining Wisdom / Knowledge
Mar 18, 2024High school has been tough for me, especially now that I'm in 11th grade and have so many state and school exams. Before I found out about Schoolhouse, I struggled with understanding most of what I was learning at school. I always asked myself, "Do I really need to take a math or science class? What will I use it for in the future? Why is it so important to study things that won't help me in my future?" It turns out that I do need to use math and science in the future. Time is math. Understanding how humans behave is a type of science. I found out about Schoolhouse through Khan Academy. Ever since then, I have come to realize that with all the knowledge I could gain inside and outside of school, I could share it with others who crave and want knowledge. I enjoy using Schoolhouse because it not only helps me, but it also allows me to help others. With all out knowledge combined, we will make a great team! -Thank you!

School House Experience
Mar 9, 2024I was really nervous about the SAT and my sister was looking for online help and found schoolhouse. the surprising part was that it was free. The tutors were very respectful and very kind. I loved how we discussed our answers and got to hear everyone thoughts on how they solved the answer. I think there should be more students than 10, so we have more ideas and many different explanations from different students.

The Enlightened Journey: A Tale of Passion for Learning and Teaching
Feb 29, 2024In late November of 2023, while procrastinating and surfing the web, I stumbled upon Schoolhouse World. My aim was to find a website that would provide a free tutoring service to help me improve my knowledge of biology and math. And that's where my journey began. Ever since my dad introduced me to the concept of a streak in third grade, I've been using Khan Academy every day. I fell in love with the platform and was pleased to discover that its founder, Sal Khan, had created a new platform called Schoolhouse World. As I set up my account and started interacting with the platform, I felt something special inside me. I decided to join subworlds and interact with tutors and other users on the platform. It was then that I met some of the smartest and kindest people I've ever encountered. I was amazed at the quality of the tutors, who were among the best I've ever met. As I started making friends on Schoolhouse World, I became more involved in the platform. I began hosting my own speech and debate sessions and even attended my first Model UN, where I placed second in my committee. During this time, I made connections with people who challenged me to be the best version of myself. My current math tutor is one of them. I started with a negative outlook on geometry, thinking it would never be for me. However, my tutor made it fun and engaging, and I now attend every Saturday for a math session. If you're looking to learn more about a specific topic or concept, improve your grades, or even meet new friends who push you to be the best version of yourself, I highly recommend joining Schoolhouse World.

Don’t give up on what you love
Jan 31, 2024I first joined Schoolhouse in May of 2021. When I first heard SHW, it was when I found out on social media. When I went in depth with scrolling in social media, it was during the pandemic. One day I was scrolling and I bumped into this one ad that is free live Zoom tutoring. My mind went blank and I was so shocked saying “There is free live Zoom tutoring. Really? There is no way tutoring is free online.” I didn’t believe that was ever existed and I thought it was a scam at any point. Eventually, I decided to search the website itself and unfortunately, I didn’t get what I wanted. What I mean by that is that I know the first few letters, but not all the letters surprisingly. However, unfortunately, I didn’t see the ad again and I was so devastated. What I mean by devastated, I mean that I went through the process of depression. However, after a few days, I meant to find the ad again. Finding the ad again, I was so happy and I jumped up and down over and over again. After I found the ad, I eventually searched and got the website itself. The first thing that I did on the schoolhouse website was sign up and register for a session. I didn’t know how to register for a session due to me on a new platform and overthinking decisions. Eventually, I learned how to register a session by clicking the register button and join the session. My first schoolhouse session was probably the most intimidating ever because I thought that the tutor would not like me at all and I thought that I wouldn’t be able to follow up on what we had learned that day. Turns out, the first session tends to be the best session ever because the tutor was so nice and so helpful in any way possible. The tutor was so patient and helped me whenever I got an answer wrong. After the session, I found out about the rating which is so cool and so interactive at the same time. I was a learner for 5 months during the process without ever thinking of becoming a tutor in the first place. My first impression of that is that “Oh no! I probably do not qualify enough to become a tutor due to my focus on school and maybe it wouldn’t be right for me to fully commit to tutoring whatsoever. However, one tutor has inspired me to become a tutor because a tutor gets freedom in some way and you could host anything that you want to choose. I was so indecisive about whether or not I would want to become a tutor, but at the end of the day, you just have to go for it and believe that you could do it. Then, I decided to fill out a tutor application. During the tutor application process, I was so nervous, but also confident at the same time. However, after the tutor application, I decided to think that maybe I wouldn’t get in due to experience in stuff. When I finished my shower, I got an email saying my tutor application was approved and I was so excited for the whole night. After joining Slack, I met my onboarding buddy name Lakshana M. Lakshana M. is probably one of the onboarding buddies that I will forever be grateful for. She helped me on my first session and she gave me valuable tips on what to know for future sessions. Even though she isn’t here anymore, I appreciate it as an onboarding buddy and as a friend. Always wish her the best always and forever. Lastly, my journey in SHW has been fun and bittersweet. Thank you Schoolhouse for always being there for me whenever I need it. Even though there was a struggle to find the website in the first place, I am happy that it became the person I am today and also have everlasting friendships at the same time. Without you guys, I would have never known that free live Zoom tutoring existed and I wouldn’t have met people around the world. The moral lesson of this story is don’t give up what you’re looking for because eventually you will get there and you will feel accomplished after finding the thing you’re looking for. Schoolhouse helped me through that every step of the way and I’m grateful to have been part of this journey in the first place. Can’t wait what the future holds at SHW.

Math Help!!!
Jan 3, 2024I took an Algebra 2 crash course in the summer and was struggling upon understanding foundational concepts. I needed help and Schoolhouse unexpectedly became my best friend! I could get help with math problems within 5 minutes + choose from a variety of session tailored with my needs in Algebra 2 and Geometry. Now, I have gotten much better in Algebra 2 and am happy to give back to the community in Schoolhouse from my sessions and live help.

Unmatched Enthusiasm
Nov 25, 2023When I schedule a session on a topic that I am proficient in, a learner can expect to be met with enthusiasm when they join a session with me. One day, while tutoring a session in Python, I realized that I enjoy the curiosity that the learners bring to a session. One may assume that something without any cost has less value than something that does, but Schoolhouse has shown me that value actually lies in perspective. The learners who join my sessions have a big passion for learning and applying the knowledge that I teach, and I think that is such a beautiful thing to experience as a tutor.

Catch 22 - A cycle that helps both tutors and learners!
Nov 17, 2023Hi! I am Sri, and I am studying in the IB curriculum (as a DP1 student). I take Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Maths and European Languages. I came across Schoolhouse.world in hopes to find communities where I can tutor as a volunteer, in order to help out learners! From the SHW experience, teaching is much like a catch 22 cycle - Learners benefit from new material, but I also benefit from teaching the material - as a revision for my exams in 2025! This really is the best way that benefits both tutors and learners! Thank you so much SHW for organizing such a wonderful community! :)

Learning from Each Other
Aug 29, 2023I still remember the months leading up to my SAT: weeks reviewing key concepts after school, cramming random study sessions, while the weekends were spent on practice tests and reviewing those mistakes (fun times). While all that preparation was instrumental in helping me achieve a score close to my goal, looking back made me realize the key thing I was missing in those times - motivation. Specifically from others going through the same journey as me. That's why I joined as a tutor on SchoolHouse; I wanted to create a space where learners could practice and prepare together, while also giving them advice as someone who'd just recently been in their shoes - and I'm so glad I did! I got to meet amazing learners who had their own strengths and approaches to the test, giving me fresh perspectives on how to tackle questions and prepare more effectively. They provided amazing feedback, actively engaged in every session, and gave me a space to practice my communication skills (still a work in progress)! I highly recommend others to try tutoring on SchoolHouse too - not just for the volunteer hours (a great bonus), but also for the skills you learn and the experience you can apply in your future careers and projects. Because this was a space where we learned from each other. Together.

SHW: My experience from a learner to a tutor
Jul 28, 2023We all started as learners. We joined sessions, explored the platform, and joined many series. And then, we became tutors. We started teaching others and sharing our knowledge with people all over the world. Literally. This is my experience starting from a learner, to where I am now. I still remember the day I hosted my first ever session on schoolhouse. It was on percentages, the only topic I was certified in at that time. I remember feeling so nervous, and almost wanting to delete the session when I saw that a learner joined. I wasn't expecting that. I practiced and practiced and practiced, making sure I knew what I was going to say. My sister was right in front of me when I started the session. The learner joined soon after, and I started teaching. At first, I would mix up my words and forget what I was saying, but slowly, I started to get a hang of it. I stopped trembling and started to sort of enjoy it. After the session ended, the first thing I did was go to the feedback page and waited until finally, it came. I was ecstatic to find positive feedback from what I thought was not a very good session. The second time I hosted a session, I remember hoping that no one joined but to my surprise, and dismay, someone did join. Two. It went so much better, I felt more confident in my teaching, and I was so happy to see two more positive feedbacks. I wish I could say that all my fear of tutoring left me after that session, but ... well, It was after at least seven sessions that I felt fully confident. Now, I host regular sessions for live help, pre-algebra sessions, and fun enrichment series like writing competitions and interactive Game nights. I have over 70 positive ratings and have hosted 61 sessions. To any new tutor out there, let me just say, it gets better.

My Experience with Schoolhouse.world: Unlocking a World of Learning
Jun 3, 2023Education is the cornerstone of personal growth and development. It equips us with knowledge, skills, and the confidence to navigate the world around us. However, not everyone has equal access to quality education or the resources needed to excel academically. That's where Schoolhouse.world comes in—a revolutionary online learning platform that connects learners with volunteers from around the globe. As a student with a thirst for knowledge and a desire to excel, I stumbled upon Schoolhouse.world while searching for additional support in my studies. Little did I know that this platform would transform my learning experience and open up a world of opportunities. The concept behind Schoolhouse.world is simple yet powerful. It leverages the expertise and passion of volunteers to provide free, one-on-one tutoring in various subjects to students who need extra help. The platform was founded by Sal Khan, the visionary educator who also created Khan Academy, another popular online learning platform. Getting started with Schoolhouse.world was effortless. I created an account, filled out a profile, and selected the subject I needed assistance with—mathematics. The platform's intuitive interface made it easy to navigate, and within minutes, I was connected with a volunteer tutor who specialized in the topic. My first session with my tutor was eye-opening. Not only was she highly knowledgeable, but she was also incredibly patient and skilled at breaking down complex concepts into digestible pieces. Unlike in a traditional classroom setting, where time constraints and distractions can hinder personalized attention, Schoolhouse.world allowed me to receive individualized support tailored to my specific learning needs. What sets Schoolhouse.world apart is its emphasis on fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Tutors are not just experts in their respective subjects; they are passionate individuals dedicated to empowering students and instilling a love for learning. The tutors I worked with were not only knowledgeable but also excellent communicators who made me feel comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification. Another aspect that impressed me was the platform's commitment to collaboration. In addition to one-on-one tutoring sessions, Schoolhouse.world hosts virtual group study sessions where students can learn from each other, solve problems together, and foster a sense of community. These study sessions encouraged collaboration and helped me develop valuable teamwork and communication skills. Beyond the academic support, Schoolhouse.world provided me with a sense of connection and belonging. It's a global community of learners and educators coming together with a shared goal of empowering students. The platform's user-friendly interface, real-time chat features, and interactive whiteboard tools facilitated seamless communication and engagement. My experience with Schoolhouse.world has been transformative. Not only did it enhance my understanding of challenging subjects, but it also instilled in me a love for learning and a desire to give back. Inspired by the volunteers who dedicated their time and expertise, I, too, decided to become a tutor on the platform, helping other students who may be struggling with the same subjects I once struggled with. Schoolhouse.world is more than just a learning platform; it's a movement that seeks to bridge educational gaps and empower students worldwide. It has provided me with the support, resources, and connections that have transformed my educational journey. If you're a student seeking additional academic support or a passionate individual looking to make a difference, I highly recommend Schoolhouse.world. It's a place where knowledge knows no boundaries, and the possibilities for growth are endless. Embrace the opportunity to learn, connect, and unlock your full potential with Schoolhouse.world.

Streamlining Spontaneous Learning
May 31, 2023Everyone has had this moment: you're sitting in class, and the teacher hands out the assignment and goes back to their desk. Someone at your table whispers, "I wonder if...", and before you know it, the entire classroom is buzzing with discussion about right triangles, acute angles, and perpendicular bisectors. But then- it stops. The classroom is silenced, sent back to work. The key to replicating these moments lies in understanding why they happen. I believe it comes down to friendship. When you are with your friends, people just like you, the barriers to communication dissolve instantly. The moment from the classroom, where suddenly everyone has an idea they must share - that is the power of friendship combined with learning. In the seven months I've spent with Schoolhouse, I learned a very important lesson: I am not just your tutor - I am your friend. I relate to you, I get you, because I'm your peer. I'm a student just like you are, just like all the other amazing tutors helping others on Schoolhouse. This is the true power of Schoolhouse; emphasizing humanity and friendship to enable learning.

The Nigerian girl who leaped
May 7, 2023My name is Chantel Emobonuvuia Enemodia. As a Nigerian my family always felt that education was important. So, as I grew older, I developed a mindset to achieve and reach my highest potential in education. When I grow up, I would like to be an engineer who make eco friend products for users. I believe that Schoolhouse is a starting point there are classes in math, science, history, and even cooking. This program not only helps students but creates classes that are interesting to everyone. I would like to thank whoever has put in effort in teaching us. We love and care about you even if you are still in middle school, you made a difference thank you.

My SHW Journey
May 4, 2023School House is an amazing platform that I have been using for almost a year now for both learning and tutoring. What I appreciate the most about this platform is that it provides learning sessions for those who are struggling at school or need help with certain topics. As a tutor, I always try my best to provide learners with the correct information. Moreover, it allows you to meet people and make friends from all over the world. Aside from focusing on learning and teaching, School House prioritizes creating a safe environment and building a comfortable community. This commitment to safety ensures that plenty of people feel secure while using the platform. I enjoy working with people and helping them with anything I can, even though I'm only in 8th grade. What I've learned from this site makes me feel prepared for 10th grade. Even though I have only been using School House for less than a year, my love for it grows every day. I highly recommend this wonderful platform to everyone.

My Story here in SHW
May 3, 2023I am a user of Khan Academy and got an email to a meeting where Sal Khan introduced SHW as a volunteer run platform. I first started here as a learner in July 2022. But the love of teaching someone took over the wheel and I officially became a certified tutor here in Jan 2023. SHW is an amazing platform where any certified student gets to be a tutor. It has been an amazing journey as I share middle and high school students my knowledge on Math and Biology. I hope to see more curious minds here.

A Leap In Education With The Potential Of Revolutionizing Learning
Apr 30, 2023I have been a tutor on schoolhouse for upwards of a week now, and have been using the platform for more than a year. Schoolhouse has taken an approach with learning I have never seen before. It's like a decentralized network for learning, where everyone contributes to its growth in some way or the other. I feel proud to be a part of this organization, since I am sure that it will skyrocket in a few years. Providing free global education on almost every topic there is, is something I never thought would be possible. I'm glad the schoolhouse proved me wrong. Generations now and upwards will be very lucky with this, since all you need is internet and a device to learn, making education available even for the weaker sections of society.

Connection, Collaboration, and Community
Apr 10, 2023I started on schoolhouse.world as an Reading/Writing tutor for the December SAT Bootcamp. I'm so happy to say that this experience was not only exciting and educational, it was also very fulfilling! I felt like I was able to connect with my learners as peers while working through the Bootcamp, and I enjoyed it so much that I am now tutoring for the May SAT, too! Schoolhouse has a very special setup that promotes not only learning, but community as well!

My incredible experience with Schoolhouse.world
Mar 22, 2023Hi there! I'm a tutor on schoolhouse.world. I wanted to share the impact that schoolhouse had on me. I honestly never thought I would become a tutor, let alone at this age. It was such an amazing experience. The tutors were more than tutors and learners are more than just students. It's like a big family. Joining schoolhouse is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's interactive, fun, friendly, and just so awesome. It makes math a game. and it's not just math, it so many other subjects. Really fun and changed the perspective I had on many things. Who knew algebra was actually fun? Anyways, if you haven't already, go and check out Schoolhouse.world where you'll meet people from all around the world. This may be the best ting that has happened to you all day!

My new journey as a tutor
Mar 14, 2023Starting my tutoring journey on Schoolhouse has been a great experience. I've been tutoring AP World History for my past sessions, teaching my learners how to write FRQs and tackle MCQs. Being able to help them and make them feel more comfortable and confident in tackling certain concepts brings me happiness. Peers helping other peers is what makes Schoolhouse so special. Like my math teacher always says," We learn more when working together". Schoolhouse has brought us together in tutoring and learning a wide variety of subjects from STEM to the humanities. By helping my peers, not only am I growing as a tutor, I'm also growing as a learner.

Opportunistic System: My first session
Feb 18, 2023There I was, on the AoPS site. Someone in the community said something about a weird tutoring site called Schoolhouse! Might be a good place to get some volunteer hours! I got myself certified in 3 topics within one day, then decided that I would start a session. I started a stopwatch to time how many minutes I would teach for. But OMG, the time flew by while teaching! I loved the thrill of listening to the understanding in their voices, the feeling of confidence flooding through them! I loved it! I already have another session lined up, and am hoping to start a series soon, after I get finals wrapped up.

Learning NEW things
Jan 28, 2023As a student, an old-er student at that, you think all learning will feel the same and it does NOT. Going back to college, let alone it being strictly online, it's truly been a struggle with trying to regrasp concepts and fundamentals. Re-learning what I wrongly taught myself and even the part of asking for help. I found this amazing website that is completely free!! I wish I had something this special in high school it would have been an amazing tool to have under my belt. The peer tutors really have a heart of patience, thus far each person has been patient, kind, and very understanding with the level I'm at. This is the best source of help that I will now always recommend to all! Thank you so much!

Happiness
Jan 7, 2023I am just so grateful for everything! Khan Academy already changed my life but now this?! Prior to discovering schoolhouse, I was struggling to find peers to study with as I had already graduated from school. However, Schoolhouse has provided me with the opportunity to learn alongside other students, which has made a huge difference in my level of engagement and passion for learning. My tutor was exceptional at explaining Maths concepts, and I can't believe that all of this is available for free. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to schoolhouse, it has made the world a better place!

School House: My Second School
Dec 29, 2022My first reaction to Schoolhouse.world was a lot of reluctance because it meant reading boring SAT passages and solving SAT Math problems while I was still in 10th grade. The teaching was great because I was having a good time and interacting during sessions, which is not something I usually do. In the end, I got a much higher score than I expected, and I've used Schoolhouse.world to get an edge in class. Thank you, Schoolhouse.world!

Dec 17, 2022SchoolHouse has been the second best thing that happened after Avengers: Endgame. A platform for volunteer tutoring, and all of that for absolutely free, I personally couldn't believe it at first. Being a tutor and a learner at the same time, exposed me to the SchoolHouse ecosystem, and it is absolutely perfect, the sessions, the attendance policy, the interface, the courses... ; Everything is so thought trough that it is mind-blowing; I want to thank all of the SchoolHouse contributor for their amazing work .

How Tutoring Has Helped Me
Nov 22, 2022These sessions offer a chance for me to become less nervous, more confident, a better teacher, and a better speaker. Also, these sessions offer instant gratification the moment a learner says, "I understand now!" It makes me so happy to know that I helped someone. The challenges and rewards associated with tutoring are so appealing that I wish I had learned about Schoolhouse sooner! These skills and experiences will also better prepare me to enter a collaborative college environment.

Broadening My Horizons
Nov 19, 2022When I was first invited to tutor for the SAT, I was a little nervous, as I had never tutored before, and have always struggled with public speaking. However, I was confident in the subject material, so I took the opportunity. I am very grateful that I did, because I was quickly able to better my confidence in public speaking and tutoring, significantly as a result from the very supportive community that Schoolhouse offers both with its tutors and learners. Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity -- it has truly had a positive impact of great magnitude on my life.

Schoolhouse=Big Brain
Nov 4, 2022Lemme tell you my story, alright? Well, I was just another nerd, who, although was good at every subject, struggled with math. I looked endlessy, and all of the tutoring things were shams and scams. Only two stood out. TutorATl (One of the best for every subjects.) and my Savior (Schoolhouse.) The tutors are nice, and me learning is the only reason why i get A's in math right now. I am just another learner, but you can be one too. If your feeling hard in math, or any subject, join schoolhouse. You wont regret. I know can play games, eat, and enjoy, and hard assignents and other stuff dont scare me- Because I know schoolhouse got my back-Gotcha! Griissss OUT

Wonderful teaching and learning environment
Oct 21, 2022Schoolhouse is one of the most user-friendly sites I have ever seen. I originally joined for volunteering hours, but I found that it offers so much more. Their welcoming learning environment helps both learners and tutors feel comfortable, and I am learning much more about the content I teach. Thank you SHW!

To make a difference
Mar 13, 2024As I have grown into a tutor I have had a lot of help along the journey. I have helped learners grow into the bright minds they are today, and I have met wonderful tutors who were willing to help me grow into the tutor I am today. I have been busy and I love the time I spend here every day it is truly amazing that the founding tutors have been able to build this community from the ground up to the sky. The tutors and learners here are the meaning of "the sky is the limit" A lot of learners come to me and other tutors with the anxiety of failing and they count on us to tutor them, But as the time zones don't match up a lot of times but it is wonderful that all learners feel comfortable with seeking help we also know what it is like to need help in school so we try to explain the subject to the best of our ability, so don't ever contact a tutor with the fear of being turned away we are here to help and we care

Math Bootcamp Helped Me Receive a Scholarship
Dec 26, 2023Hi! My name is Brooke, and I'm a junior in high school. I've been studying relentlessly for the SAT for the past three years, but I've always struggled with the math section. However, I increased my SAT score a substantial amount when I began attending Schoolhouse's SAT bootcamps. As a result of this score increase, I will now be eligible for a prominent scholarship in my state that will pay for the tuition required to attend college. Ja'Qwan, my SAT tutor for the December SAT, went above and beyond for his students. He created "office hours" outside of the regular meetings so we could come in and ask him questions, and even create his own "linear equations" presentation that he shared with us during office hours to help us better understand specific concepts covered on the SAT. With tutors like Ja'Qwan, Schoolhouse makes learning easy and fun. Overall, I'm so grateful for Schoolhouse and would recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about any STEM-related subjects, and of course, the SAT!

Dec 4, 2023Tutoring in Schoolhouse has become a second home for me, a place where I can connect with like-minded individuals, share knowledge and ideas, and make a real impact on the lives of my students.

Love of Teaching
Nov 23, 2023I have always had a love of learning. Ever since my mother taught me to read (at the age of 2 or 3!), I have sought out knowledge and skill. As a homeschool parent, my mom has continued to let me study what I want when I want, no matter how eclectic or high-level the subject. And as she shared this learning with me, I began to share it with others. When I was younger, I used to make worksheets for my friends and family to practice logarithms just because this concept made me excited and I wanted to share it. I began studying for the SAT probably as soon as I became a teenager and was thrilled by my practice test scores. Then I learned of the possibility of Dual Enrollment at the local Community College and it was time to take the test for real. It was my SAT score that caused me to receive an invitation to tutor on Schoolhouse. Unlike the brilliant Liya D, I was a tutor from the very beginning. I started with a math bootcamp. I was nervous and excited and felt that I was constantly doing something wrong. The very first contact my learners had with me was a series of my typos in the group chat. I kept forgetting pieces of the agenda. But I got good feedback and enjoyed myself and was ready to keep pushing forward. I am now on my 6th bootcamp, have given multiple Live Helps, and have even taught my own SAT prep classes. And despite a few bad ratings and some occasional stressful moments, I have loved it all the way. When I explain something in a way that really resonates with a learner, I feel so heartened by that excitement on their face. I love the feeling that I am in control of my knowledge, in control of the situation, and ready to help others no matter what. Between my work on Schoolhouse and my part-time job as a karate teacher, the opportunities of the past year have taught me how much I enjoy teaching. I am an aspiring doctor, and when I think of my dream job, I often imagine myself at a med school or teaching hospital guiding others. Without Schoolhouse, I might never have fully understood this passion of mine. Homeschooling has been overwhelmingly positive for me, but it can make me feel a little isolated. A small social circle is really good for me in that I tend to form deep connections with my close friends, but a few more acquaintances certainly wouldn't hurt. And Schoolhouse has provided me with the opportunity I need to meet new learners and tutors in a friendly environment. I am first-and-foremost a tutor on Schoolhouse and love learning about my learners, but I have also attended many of the amazing community events here such as the MUN and World Fair. These events have given me some of my happiest recent memories and valuable new friendships. I can't wait to keep teaching, learning, and meeting new people on Schoolhouse and beyond!

Friendship
Oct 19, 2023I have been a homeschooler from birth, I have no idea what an actual school looks like. I am very thankful that my parents made this decision but different feelings began to stir after I turned fifteen; I need study partners. Things became hard for me after May 2023, when my best and only friends left our city and went to the Netherlands for their summer vacation, I was so lonely for a while that I thought I had depression. Finally, my family took a summer vacation too, and I momentarily forgot about the loneliness. After returning home, the feeling returned; I became restless and needed something to do. I suddenly remembered that I had a schoolhouse account, so I took a look and fell in love with it. It is the most fantastic thing that ever happened to me! From all my experiences at SHW, I treasured friendship the most. I came just in time for the World Fair, and by that, I met great people! I enjoyed so much learning about other's backgrounds and sharing mine. I know maybe until I go to college I will not be lonely. Thank you Schoolhouse!

My Experience with SHW SAT Prep!
Aug 25, 2023I really appreciated how the tutors explained everything in detail and were patient with me when I did not understand something. They tried their best to make the class fun and interactive as possible and it was sucessful. The tips they gave were amazing as well and I think even paid classes could not give me the tips they gave me. I have tried paid classes but I felt that this was better in a way because I was learning from people who had experience with the SAT. All in all I highly reccomend this series.

SAT Tutoring is the Way to Go!
Jun 18, 2023I got a 1480 on my first try on the SAT, and I am very sure it was due in part largely to the efforts of countless amazing tutors. I was able to find just the right SAT prep sessions/series that helped me out a lot. I also had an incredible tutor who did a SAT Bootcamp with me even when I was the only one attending, and that inspired me to keep trying. Thank you Schoolhouse tutors!!!! I 100% recommend anyone studying for the SAT to make it a point to attend these tutoring sessions. It totally pays off!

Connections Across the World!
Jun 3, 2023I recently hosted a reading and writing SAT Bootcamp! I was initially worried because the only time I could host it was at 1 pm and I didn't know if learners would be able to join with their school schedules. I was pleasantly surprised to see my Bootcamp fill up! As a group, we figured out that we had learners living in four different countries and that everyone was living in a different time zone. We were able to form irreplaceable connections and learn much more about the world!

The SchoolHouse Odyssey
May 26, 2023From School to House, and from House to School. This is the routine for most students across the world. They begin the day at home, go to school, and come back. The nature of reality is that the spheres of learning and comfort are divided, with school being the primary place where learning occurs. However, this platform changes that reality - for good. SchoolHouse is a community that's based on the principle that these two spheres don't have to be separate, and learning can happen from anywhere at anytime. I strongly identified with this mission because I believe education is a right and not a privilege. So, as I began tutoring, not only did I feel a sense of empowerment helping learners from multiple countries, but I also improved in the way I communicate with others, which previously was a big struggle for me as an individual. Throughout history, much has changed. Technology, ideas, and theories have all undergone change. However, education and specifically the model of the classroom has not changed in centuries. With SchoolHouse, I'm excited to see how education will advance moving forward. Not just as a tutor, but also as a learner.

My Schoolhouse World Journey
May 5, 2023I’ve always loved teaching, but was never able to until I joined schoolhouse. I’ve been using it almost half a year, and it turned out to be one of the best platforms I’ve ever used! I joined schoolhouse to learn but then I found myself looking forward to help others and become a tutor. As a learner, I enjoyed every class I took, and I met great people here. However as a tutor, I always try my best to provide learners with the correct information. I highly recommend this platform for everyone.

Amazing Platform
May 4, 2023Originally, I had joined Schoolhouse for the purpose of getting volunteer hours, but after a couple sessions, I found myself looking forward to helping out learners as often as I can. This platform has allowed me to connect with more people, and I am really grateful to have found out about this platform.

My journey here at Schoolhouse
May 2, 2023When my mom introduced this to me, I was kind of not interested but after a couple of sessions things were much better that even decided to do certifications and become a tutor myself.As I was progressing people didn't show up and I was getting upset but a tutor once told me that to never give up hope and keep pushing so when I did that people started showing up and I had a fun time with them

The benefits of tutoring!
Apr 11, 2023I've been tutoring on Schoolhouse for about two months now, and I have to say it has changed me for the better in numerous ways. Through tutoring, I have gained confidence, courage in myself, and leadership skills. I was also able to get over my longtime fear of public speaking. On the whole, I benefitted from tutoring in unimaginable ways and genuinely enjoy my SAT tutoring sessions, and will continue to tutor with Schoolhouse in the future.

Making an impact from the convenience of my own home.
Mar 13, 2023Schoolhouse.world is revolutionary. The platform is so well-made and the community is so friendly, professional, and uplifting. My time at Schoolhouse has helped me become a more mature person and allowed me to reach new horizons. As a student who had moved to the US just before my freshman year of high school and as a student who is studying online, I had very little knowledge of how the system worked and was restricted to what my school offered me. However, after joining Schoolhouse I learned that there was so much more! I realized that not all people are as fortunate as me and felt the sorrow after learning the difficulties some faced. At the same time, I felt intense joy after being able to successfully help learners understand the topics they struggled in. At the same time, Schoolhouse has benefitted me as a learner just as much as it has benefitted me as a tutor. As mentioned earlier, when I first came to the US, I had no idea how the system worked. However, thanks to Schoolhouse's college prep sessions I was able to understand how to navigate through the system. In addition, community sessions such as the very recent Schoolhouse MUN are such a great experience where you can interact with people from across the globe. The opportunities at Schoolhouse are endless but no matter how much I elaborate, I can only say so much with words. Only thing I can tell you is if you are reading this, don't delay it, go ahead and sign up for Schoolhouse now!

Learning At My Pace And Place: Schoolhouse.world
Feb 28, 2023It is nearly impossible for me to state how helpful schoolhouse as been to me as a person and has a tutor. Socializing in a safe environment and learning as well as sharing knowledge at a tender age is so impressive. This is something I don't look forward to dumping. Thanks Schoolhouse.world!

Gave to me, I gave back
Feb 17, 2023I used to be a student on school house, needing help with my pre-algebra homework. I was so grateful for all the volunteers, tutoring for free, and helping me get good grades. So I decided to become a tutor. I answered students questions and made study groups. I am very grateful for schoolhouse.

From a Puddle to an Ocean - Teaching Marine Biology through Schoolhouse
Jan 16, 2023I have actually never heard of Schoolhouse until a friend told me about the peer tutoring format they used. I was honestly intrigued by the user-friendly format, and how simple it was to become a tutor. But once I tried out a session, judging by the teaching, I realized they were extremely selective of who becomes a tutor. I tried it out, and became a tutor myself. I have a huge interest in Marine Biology, and I decided to teach it through this website. I honestly didn't expect the incredible interest, and I had multiple positive reviews. I also had a peer review, which helped me realize my flaws and just proved that Schoolhouse really does stay with you the whole path, and always offers help in times of need. In the end of my series, my group was extremely satisfied with the content, and I can happily say Schoolhouse is one of the best mentors I have ever had.

Joining a Community of Learning & Teaching
Jan 1, 2023I have felt like an outsider my entire life. I have felt left out because I was different. You're probably wondering, "Why were you different?" Here's the answer: I loved learning and teaching. I wanted to drink up the world of knowledge and spread that knowledge to other people like a seed growing roots. Most people weren't like me. They thought I was weird. Because of those people, I kind of hid away that part of me. Until Schoolhouse. For me, joining Schoolhouse was basically arriving to a new planet. Suddenly, I was surrounded by brilliant and eager-to-learn people who inspired me to keep going and follow my passion of learning and teaching. I met other learners who asked questions that made me think more critically and deeply than I had ever done before. I met tutors certified in topics I had never even known about, and listening to their explanations was truly mind-blowing and inspirational. Schoolhouse is probably one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. I realized that, and I realized that I wanted to do more. I wanted to also become a tutor. When I became a tutor, my impression of Schoolhouse only became better. I realized that this was a safe community to make mistakes and learn. People in Schoolhouse cared about keeping this community engaging, safe, and fun. I started hosting my own sessions, and I taught students who actually wanted to learn. That only made me love Schoolhouse even more. I have grown so much thanks to Schoolhouse. I've met amazing peers who inspire me to grow. Schoolhouse, in a way, is like Khan Academy--that one thing that all children need to reach their full potential. Thank you so much, Schoolhouse. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

The Beginning
Dec 28, 2022I joined Schoolhouse the last summer, when my friend told me that a website gives interesting lessons with interactive and friendly tutors. I have attended 31 sessions for now and every new sessions confirms that this site is the best for the learner and the tutor. What made me more excited is that becoming a tutor is easy and super helpful for your career, especially if you dream of joining international Universities like MIT and Uchicago. I wish I can have a scholarship to study in MIT because the fees are incredible and unaffordable. I am on my way to become a tutor in the schoolhouse world and I will try my best to join MIT community. I hope learners in this website are enjoying sessions Good Luck for everyone. Thank you SchoolHouse!!

Schoolhouse - A place where dreams come into reality
Dec 10, 2022I always had a passion for teaching biology but I wasn't getting many opportunities. When I have discovered schoolhouse (although a bit late!) it felt like a dream coming true! I was nervous in my first session and wasn't sure what to expect and how learners would respond. However, I had some excellent that were interacting with me during the session and really gave me the feeling of teaching and looking at their reviews at the end of every session is what pushes me to become better and find new things in order to help students across the world to learn, and in my case learn Biology. Through schoolhouse I can teach biology and hopefully learners through my sessions are able to learn and get something out of my sessions.

If only I knew about Schoolhouse earlier
Nov 22, 2022I've always loved teaching, but ever since I learned about schoolhouse through the sat bootcamps I instantly fell in love. I was able to use my skills to help people that were actually motivated to learn. Before I was teaching kids that had no interest to learn and their parents were forcing them to learn, but with schoolhouse the education and knowledge goes to those who will benefit the most from it. I absolutely love this program and am proud to be a schoolhouse tutor.

Schoolhouse: A Place of Purpose
Nov 17, 2022I got invited into Schoolhouse to run an SAT Bootcamp, and I was immediately drawn in. A place where learners can get tutors online, absolutely free? Where anyone with the qualifications can volunteer as a tutor? I had tutored in other volunteer projects before and I absolutely loved my time in those projects. Naturally, Schoolhouse was the perfect platform for me to continue doing what I love: teaching! I've learned so much about being a tutor during my time here: the tutor trainings available taught me so much more about how to engage with my students and teach effectively. Teaching at Schoolhouse is a joy: every time I tutor, I am always greeted by wonderful learners. Every time I hear a Eureka moment - an 'Ohhh!' or an 'I think I get it now!' - I always feel a massive sense of joy knowing that my sessions are fulfilling their purpose. The sense of purpose I get from tutoring at Schoolhouse and helping others learn never fades, and it is rejuvenating. I always wake up looking forward to hosting my next session, and I can't wait to host many more here at Schoolhouse!

A great opportunity for everyone
Nov 10, 2022I found out about Schoolhouse through my online school. At first I was unsure whether I like it or not, but then I joined a SAT prep series. I really liked it and attendee other sessions. I like how the tutors explain the material so well and they always make sure everyone understands!

Schoolhouse is a Great Platform
Nov 8, 2022I learned about schoolhouse through an email from college board. I was scrolling though all my mail and found an email inviting to participate in a free SAT Bootcamp which was part of a research study. When I did some research into schoolhouse, I was like, what, all these services are free???? They offer so many free aids like free live tutoring, boot camps, community sessions, and so much more!!!! Schoolhouse saved me and gave me much needed practice and motivation to study for the SAT! I still haven’t gotten my results from the SAT back, but I know whatever score I end up with, schoolhouse helped me get there!!!

One student at a time...
Nov 3, 2022At first, I learned about Schoolhouse.world through Social Media, and I was like what?! What is this place? I browsed the website, and found out more as I explored, and eventually after being approved within a day, decided to become a tutor! I've had past experience as a tutor, but wasn't able to reach as large as an audience as I'd like to, and schoohouse.world helped me reach a larger audience and help students all over the world. One student at a time Schoolhouse.world changes their community, and that's why I'm happy to be a part of this global community, helping the world, one student at a time. That's why I tutor through schoolhouse.world, because even though we meet through a screen, the learning is endless.

To Make A Difference
Mar 9, 2024I joined schoolhouse very recently, as a SAT Bootcamp Tutor. I received an email from CollegeBoard informing me of the opportunity, and, safe to say, my interest was piqued. I completely self-studied for my own SAT, and it was difficult at times. Although I had a host of resources, especially Khan Academy, I had nobody who I could turn to for questions, nobody who could offer me advice on parts of the SAT that went beyond just content, like pacing and what order to do the questions in. I had to teach myself all of that. Upon learning about the SAT Bootcamps offered at Schoolhouse, I remember thinking that this was the sort of support I would have loved to have while I was studying for my own SAT. So, I figured, why not? I'd get the chance to help people like I wished I'd been helped, and I had nothing to lose. I was incredibly nervous for my first session. I've always been an extremely shy person, and I had zero prior tutoring experience - what if I wasn't a good tutor? What if I let my learners down? But, as the sessions went on, I grew more comfortable, more confident. My learners were understanding what I was teaching them; I was doing okay, at the very least. I stopped fearing how to tutor. Watching my learners grow more comfortable as well, watching them answer questions correctly or have the bravery to admit that they didn't know the answer - it always made me smile. Watching their practice test scores tick up as the bootcamp went on made me so incredibly proud. I didn't even know them, but they were putting in the work, actively participating, and improving as a result. Words cannot describe how proud I was to see that. Schoolhouse has given me the opportunity to help others, utilizing my own strengths. It has given me the opportunity to make a difference - a real, valuable difference, no matter how small. I can help people just like myself, caught in the highs and lows of school, just trying to do their best. I can be part of the reason for someone's smile, as they fall back in their chair and just stare at their SAT score - just like I did, when I saw my own score. I can be part of the reason somebody gets their dream score, somebody gets a scholarship, somebody gets admitted to their dream college, somebody falls in love with a subject. I've always wanted to help people, and now I can, on a far larger scale than I was ever able to before. And that - that means the world to me.

The Non-judgemental Uplifting Space of Schoolhouse
Mar 5, 2024Late 2021, I was kind of lost with the pandemic, political issues of my country and schools closing down. I had just finished 7th grade. I was trying to gain knowledge on my own while staying at home. Using Khan Academy, i was learning math, science ,coding, etc. It provided me with huge help with the premade videos and quizzes. Obviously, I was bored not being able to go to school. One day, I just sat with my laptop and was searching whatever popped up in my mind where I found the amazing schoolhouse. At first, I was in absolute shock that such platform even existed when I found out that I can join zoom sessions. I quickly signed up and toured through the website. I joined my first ever session and since I have never in my life learned something in english face to face with a tutor, It took me a while to actually start speaking in sessions. For that, I am eternally grateful for the amazing tutors and the warm space that schoolhouse provided for me. One thing I love about schoolhouse is no one here will judge you for not knowing something. Everyone is a learner and a tutor. With all the amazing help, for the first time in my life, I overcame something I never thought I would, which was joining an MUN session. Even tho it was just a mock MUN, It was way out of my comfort zone but was such an amazing experience trying to get out of it and I learned amazing new things from it. I fell in love with schoolhouse and started joining more sessions. At that time, i would have never thought that I would even imagine applying to be a tutor. I thought I won't be able to but I finally did at the end of 2023. Even tho I have no hosted any sessions yet because of a lot of reasons, it is definitely one of my 2024 goals to try hosting a session as a new tutor. Currently, I volunteer helping people through comments when I can. If there is one thing schoolhouse has taught me, it is to never underestimate the skills that I have and how great of a help it can be to others. Nor to overestimate your skills because all the amazing people at schoolhouse will humble you. Overall, schoolhouse has become a big part of my life, made me become more confident in myself, helps unimaginably with my school works and always provide with interactive and fun space.

Language is not a big factor!!!
Feb 16, 2024As a learner from Bangladesh, I joined SHW in April, from that time every session I attend was math from a long ago I faced a lot of problems in math. SHW tutors basically follow the international language its normal for every international platform, but it was very first me learning math in other language. I was confused and nervous, but I won that fear because the whole worldwide math has an equal balance. So, from that time and so far, until now I am teaching and learning math in English. Math has a language which every people from various country understands and thanks to SHW to make this journey better.

Falling in Love With Education
Jan 4, 2024I first joined Schoolhouse as an SAT Bootcamp tutor. When I received an invitation, I was interested in the idea of fully online volunteer tutoring and figured that I might as well try. After my first session, I immediately fell in love with both teaching and education as a whole. I was amazed by the bravery that my learners possessed to meet with me, at the time a stranger, to grow academically. I found myself losing any fear I had of teaching as the session progressed, and it made me so excited when one of them would correctly answer a question about a concept I taught. I wasn't sure why I was so happy at first, but after the series ended it clicked: My tutoring specifically was making a visible difference. After hosting several more sessions, I began to realize that teaching wasn't the only thing I loved about these sessions. I loved the exposure to diverse interests and personalities, I cherished the little notes of feedback my learners wrote to me, both positive and negative, and I adored preparing for my sessions and both reviewing the material myself and learning new information while I prepared. The constant growth on both ends, the varied interactions with my learners, and the desire to contribute as much as possible to a session, THIS is what is special about education as a whole, and I loved every second of it. I continued to branch out at Schoolhouse: I tutored a greater variety of subjects, joined several teams, and began leading a team of my own. However, this did not deter my newfound love for education; it fostered it. Education is not just limited to academic learning; rather, we can learn through new experiences, through observing and working with others, and through the desire to make change, be it personal or external. Through Schoolhouse, I fell in love with every aspect of education, and I cannot be more grateful that it happened.

Best SAT Tutors Ever!
Dec 22, 2023I want to take this moment to give a simple shoutout to my tutor Mary! She was the best tutor every! I love her classes, because they helped me a lot! I also want to give another shoutout to Preethi, my first tutor! Hello, my name is Vivian. I am from China, and my first language is not english. Learning english is hard enough for me. I endured many hardships before shaping my accent, and speaking fluently. Acing the SAT is a nightmare when I've not yet been on SHW, and met these awesome tutors. I am so grateful that I've met Mary and Preethi, who are both great tutors! Best wishes to you two, and Merry Christmas!!!

Education Is Key
Dec 11, 2023Being here over the past couple of months I was able to meet new people from all over the world and I was introduced to the different ways of teaching. I have developed a passion for learning and acquiring more knowledge in a fun and easy way. I am grateful for all of these resources and hardwork that have been put into place to prioritize education and enabling it to be accessible to everyone, everywhere.

A Passion for Education
Dec 1, 2023I began tutoring on Schoolhouse when I realized it was created by Sal Khan, who I had always been grateful to for Khan Academy. When I started tutoring my first students, I realized I had a joy for tutoring and helping others. It was a unique but rewarding experience to help strangers understand concepts they had been struggling to "get" for so long, and we could share these moments of triumph together, forming a bond. Of course, with teaching being the best way to enhance one's own knowledge, this was also great for my own understanding of subjects; fresh observations from my tutees could expose me to a new way of looking at things. It was this excitement that hooked me to tutoring; not knowing whether you'll be teaching or getting taught! Overall, after around a year of tutoring on Schoolhouse, I can definitely say it has truly been life changing. From meeting tutees halfway across the world to learning new tricks from them, becoming a tutor here has been one of the best experiences of my life!

How Schoolhouse Taught Me Inculsivity
Nov 22, 2023Tutoring and being a moderator through Schoolhouse helped me make a difference globally by helping many students from around the world. I’ve tutored students from many countries such as the United States, China, Vietnam, India, and the United Kingdom. Tutoring such a large range of different people and cultures taught me to be inclusive of these varying cultures. It also taught me that we have more in common than we may realize. We are all still humans who can feel frustrated if something is hard for us to grasp. We also all feel accomplished if we finally understand something that was challenging to us. I also noticed that I enjoy similar hobbies to someone who lives in China or Indonesia. Being on Schoolhouse has taught me that even though people may live an ocean apart, we can still connect with each other despite language or cultural differences.

SAT Block: Goodbye, Hesitations
Aug 25, 2023I'm a senior and I've been studying for the SAT since freshman year. Paid prep didn't work, despite my parents' constant pressure. When junior year finished, I told my parents to save some money and let me try out Khan Academy. I was about a couple hundred questions in when I received an email about free SAT prep in partnership with Khan Academy. I thought to myself, "Heck yeah!" and immediately signed up for a bootcamp series. Since that day, I've been more prepared and devoted to improving my score than the young freshie who didn't know why she was thrusted into SAT prep. I started attending bootcamp with a purpose and I've come a long way--from 600 on the R&W to a 720. My tutor, Anne L, from Maryland, is, honestly, breathtakingly patient, understandable, and informative. I could not have survived August's studying without her and the class. Thank you, SchoolHouse. Good luck on my August SAT tomorrow!

Best Learning Platform SHW
Jun 9, 2023Schoolhouse is an amazing platform that I have been using for almost a half a year now for both learning and tutoring. What I appreciate the most about this platform is that it provides learning sessions for those or specially me struggling at some AP Classes or need help in certain topic. As a tutor , I always try my best to provide leaners with the correct information. Moreover, it allows me to meet people from all over the world. Aside from focusing on learning and teaching. Schoolhouse provides me safe environment and building a comfortable community. I enjoy working with people and helping them anything I can. Even though I have only been using School House for less than a year, my love for it grows every day and my interest for this community grows. I would like express gratitude and Thanks to all Teams , Drew and all Tutors and learner's to make this a safe and amazing community .I highly would recommend this wonderful platform to everyone.

My experience with Schoolhouse and Khan Academy
Jun 2, 2023Schoolhouse World has helped me appreciate learning and interacting with others more. Their SAT Boot Camps encouraged me to study ahead of time for my exam, which was something I never did before. Practicing with Khan Academy helped me reinforce those topics I once had trouble with, and Schoolhouse's tutors have been an enormous help to me. It was like stepping into a whole new world of learning and exploration. As I entered the virtual classroom, I was greeted by a friendly teacher who was eager to help me learn. The lessons were engaging and interactive, and I found myself enjoying the learning process. But what I loved most about Schoolhouse World was the sense of community. I was able to connect with other students from all around the world, and we worked together to solve problems and complete assignments. Overall, my experience with Schoolhouse World was truly unique. I feel like I learned so much, and I made some great friends along the way. Thank you for providing such an excellent learning environment!

Schoolhouse Learning for Life
May 26, 2023I joined schoolhouse a few months ago, and it has been a life-changing experience for me. Schoolhouse has given me a new perspective on learning. I no longer see learning as a chore or a burden, but as a joy and a privilege. I have gained confidence, creativity, and curiosity. I have also developed skills that will help me in the future, such as critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. I am so grateful for schoolhouse and the opportunities it has given me like joining the SAT Boot Camp.

Great Website
May 4, 2023I learned about schoolhouse through an email from Khan Academy. It was advertising SAT boot camps. I am so thankful I did it because I had such great tutors.

My Time Here was Well Spent.
May 3, 2023I have taken two classes for the SAT, and both of them have been quite beneficial. I thank both of my instructors for their attentiveness and their many tips for improving my overall scores.

My story
Apr 21, 2023I started Schoolhouse a couple of weeks ago (as part of my middle school help), but this website has helped me so much in the past weeks. It is helping me study for my SAT and help with some of my maths homework.

So Helpful to the community
Apr 16, 2023I started learning on schoolhouse because I wanted to practice for the PSAT, but after seeing this community, I love it. Everyone is so welcoming to others if they don't know a certain thing and are always there to help you when ever you need it. I am inspired to start tutoring for computer science courses and help students that can't get that type of education, when they can get it from us on schoolhouse.

Growing my love for math
Apr 11, 2023Schoolhouse has given me the ability to connect with so many people I would have otherwise never encountered, it has provided me with an amazing community to meet new people and share my love for math. Schoolhouse has given me a platform to help people learn new concepts and feel more confident in their mathematical abilities; it is always so rewarding when I hear that a session has helped someone prepare for a test or learn a new skill. I have also been able to grow more confident in my own math abilities because of Schoolhouse and teaching others has only made me more passionate about math.

Schoolhouse.world has provided me the opportunity to express my passion for mathematics
Mar 29, 2023Dear Schoolhouse.world Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact that your platform has had on my life. As someone who has always had a passion for mathematics, I have struggled to find the resources and support that I needed to truly excel in this field. However, since discovering Schoolhouse.world, my experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment I first logged onto the platform, I was struck by the warmth and expertise of the volunteers who make it all possible. Whether I was struggling with a particularly difficult problem set or simply looking for guidance on how to approach a new concept, I always felt that I had a supportive community behind me that was genuinely invested in my success. What truly sets Schoolhouse.world apart, though, is the way that it has enabled me to express my passion for mathematics in new and exciting ways. Through the platform's virtual classrooms and one-on-one tutoring sessions, I have been able to connect with experts from around the world who share my love for this subject. Together, we have explored challenging topics, grappled with complex equations, and pushed each other to reach new heights of understanding and achievement. Perhaps most importantly, though, Schoolhouse.world has given me a sense of purpose and belonging that I have never before experienced. Through my interactions with other students and volunteers on the platform, I have come to realize that mathematics is not just a subject that I am interested in, but a community that I am a part of. This realization has been a powerful source of motivation and inspiration for me, driving me to continue pursuing my passions and pushing myself to new heights of achievement. In short, I cannot overstate the impact that Schoolhouse.world has had on my life. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of the volunteers who make this platform possible, as well as the broader Schoolhouse.world community for their unwavering support and encouragement. I am truly honored to be a part of this incredible community, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow alongside all of you. With deepest gratitude, Vedh K

The most beautiful learning project there is, available to all!
Mar 17, 2023I learned about Schoolhouse while looking online to volunteer as a tutor. I never expected such a beautiful, easy, well-organised, professional, high-standard project existed. Even though I've been teaching math in schools for 30 years there is still so much to learn when you teach at Schoolhouse. It is a world of continuous learning, learning from the students who many are themselves tutors, learning from the always available support, learning from self-reflection, learning from other roles one can choose to take. So we are all the same, making a difference while learning and giving back, and all this available to all! Incredible!!!

Learning While Teaching
Feb 20, 2023It is truly an honor to be able to teach other students and learn yourself. I feel that this is one of the best ways if not the best way to give back to the community and other students. Schoolhouse should be more widely known because of the great opportunities it gives everyone!

iowan girl talks a lot, answers questions, builds confidence
Feb 14, 2023I was afraid to start tutoring. I was worried I didn't know enough, I was terrified that I'd encounter a question I didn't have an answer to, and overall, I questioned my tutoring skills. But tutoring through Schoolhouse.world made me realized that tutoring was a learning process for both the tutor and the learner. I learned that I had knowledge and the ability to share it with others, and that self-confidence has supported me in so many aspects of my life, from public speaking to Bharatanatyam (Indian classical dance). Schoolhouse.world has helped me realize my own potential as well as the potential of others around me.

A Life-Changing Community 🌟
Jan 10, 2023I've always wanted to feel belonged in a loving community for my whole life. But when one of my friends recommended me to join Schoolhouse.world, I feel like my life drastically changed from that moment. At first, when my friend told me that I could actually meet Sal Khan online in this community, I signed up right away and completed my training to become a tutor. My goal was clear: I wanted to meet Sal Khan someday on this platform by raising my reputation on this site by volunteering and contributing to this community. I planned my first session, pondering about the thoughts of me meeting Sal Khan someday, and slowly carried out my plan. However, when I created more and more sessions and series, I gradually realized how I cherished this community and how this community was so valuable in my life. The people here have been so kind and benevolent to me. Some tutors even used their precious time to help me with my sessions! I realized that this community was full of compliments and altruism. I really appreciate the kindness this community has given to me. Now, I feel like I have the duty to give back now. I want this circle of kindness to keep going. If you are a learner, I recommend you guys to keep going and contribute as a tutor and maybe take it even more by being a part of a volunteer group in SHW. 😀😀

The Place of Opportunity
Dec 30, 2022I came to schoolhouse.world seeking ways to help other people because in my area, these things don't come until you're a junior/senior in high school (I was only helping my sister and friends at this point) This platform gave me this opportunity early, helping me explore my passion for teaching others. And the best part is that it's free! It's a win-win for me, both as tutor and as learner.

Schoolhouse - The place of the future.
Dec 21, 2022I was looking for math classes but found it too expensive for $30 a class. So I was looking around on Khan Academy and found this link for this place called Schoolhouse™ and I instantly loved it. It had all the classes that I needed and homework help. I learned many things that I needed like my homework which I didn't get at school. This place of the future made by Salman Khan is how schools should be in the future: free and non-profit. I continue to use this everyday and it is extremely high quality. Thank you for listening to my story! Nathan

Math struggles
Nov 30, 2022I always "lost" the most amount of my PSAT points on the math portion, and with my first SAT coming up, I was understandably worried. However, after attending about four weeks of math SAT prep here on schoolhouse, I can honestly say I'm so much more confident and prepared than I would have been otherwise! I'm so grateful for my amazing tutor who had fantastic explanations for every math problem we struggled with, and with this, I was also able to figure out what topics I needed to practice on my own too!!

My Regret? Not Joining Sooner
Nov 20, 2022When I was invited to be a tutor on Schoolhouse for an SAT Bootcamp, I was beyond excited. I had always loved teaching, and this opportunity seemed amazing, yet, I had never taught any high schoolers before as my only professional volunteering experience was with middle schoolers. Even though I always help out fellow students at school, I was afraid. However, when I got over my imposter syndrome, I fell in love with the platform. I wish I had known of Schoolhouse when I was taking the SAT, it would've helped my progress tremendously and I could've started my tutoring journey sooner!

Opportunities
Nov 14, 2022I came into this experience totally unaware of the program and what its mission was. All I had was a short email detailing an opportunity to tutor a bootcamp for SATs. Yet in less than a month, I was all in, invested into creating a space for others to learn and grow in. Schoolhouse is really a great platform, not only for students to come and find lessons helpful to them, but for students to become a mentor to others, to help others in areas they are strong in and learn more about areas they’re weak in. I encourage everyone interested to join, as you’re entering a community of global learners dedicated to growing and helping each other. I personally have had a chance to deep dive into subjects I’m passionate about and create content to help others find what I find fascinating about these topics.

A Place Where You Belong
Nov 7, 2022Growing up, I had and still have a great passion for mathematics and sciences. However, being a middle school student, there really wasn't many opportunities for me to thrive in what I wanted to thrive in. Prior to my 13th birthday, I was attempting to go on khan academy, when I came across this site known to you all as Schoolhouse. I found out about the opportunities they had, and on my 13th birthday, I immediately registered to be a tutor. Being a tutor has had a huge impact on me as a person. It has boosted my confidence, public speaking skills, and understanding of a given topic. This is when I realized that Schoolhouse was a place where I belonged. Even today, I enjoy helping all learners, and I hope to continue to have a positive effect on the schoolhouse environment as time goes forward.
