Problem
Students often lack access to affordable, flexible academic support, particularly when they need help outside traditional school hours or cannot afford expensive private tutoring services. Many existing tutoring platforms either charge high per-session fees or fail to provide immediate, on-demand assistance for homework and study questions.
Solution
Tutor.new offers a subscription-based online tutoring platform that combines a WhatsApp-integrated homework-help chatbot with access to live tutoring sessions. For a flat weekly fee, students can ask questions and receive guidance on demand, plus book additional one-on-one tutoring sessions in 30-minute increments. The platform is designed for personal, private use by individual learners, keeping the service simple and cost-effective. It aims to support students continuously rather than only during scheduled appointments, making help available whenever learning challenges arise.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individual students seeking affordable, private-use academic support, including those who need homework help or supplementary tutoring outside of school hours.
