The new Tutor App from Penumbra can help students navigate all their academic rough spots. For instance, they might be working on an MBA degree and struggling with the required course on statistics.
Tutors are not hard to find, but they're not always reliable, affordable and available on the students schedule.
What's different about the Tutor app is it expands the network of tutors to find the right person, regardless of where they live. With the Internet, a tutor doesn't have to be in the same community or even the on the same continent for be of service.

Amazing! I had to look online for a personal tutor . I'm lucky I got a good one with Preply.com ( http://preply.com/en ) but it would've been great to just look with an app like this.
