Established in 2009, MyGuru is a 1-1 tutoring and test prep company founded and operated by Northwestern University graduate school students. We recruit excellent tutors with impressive academic backgrounds and a minimum of two years of experience actually teaching or tutoring.

Our typical tutor has an undergraduate degree with high marks from a prestigious university and a Masters or Doctorate as well (e.g., a GRE tutor has a PhD from UPenn, a GMAT tutor has a MBA from Drexel, etc). Many of our tutors are also certified teachers or former instructors at the large, well known test prep companies, and many hold MBAs, JDs, PhDs, CPAs, and CFA degrees. We recruit only the most experienced, accomplished, and generally impressive tutors.

Since 2009, we've slowly expanded to several new cities, including Philadelphia. In any city we enter, we build our team slowly, recruiting and interviewing only the most impressive and accomplished local tutors who, most importantly, have a passion and a skill set for 1-1 tutoring. One of the founders personally interviews each new tutor, and we are very selective in who we recruit, accepting ~10% of tutor applicants.

We help middle school, high school, and college students gain an edge with simple, effective, affordable solutions. We offer 1-1 and small group academic tutoring, as well as ACT/SAT/GRE/GMAT/LSAT/MCAT/ prep.

Working with MyGuru combines the convenience and low cost of an individual tutor (who travels to your home or a local coffee shop to work with you) with the benefits of an established company. We recruit and "screen" our tutors for academic prowess and strong communication skills, offer a money back guarantee, and coordinate scheduling, payment, and the setting of objectives for each session to ensure you get as much out of the tutoring process as possible.
