NEW YORK, July 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw Hill, a
leading learning science company, and TutorMe, a subsidiary of
Zovio, an online education platform offering on-demand tutoring,
will expand their work together in 2020 to offer college students
using the McGraw Hill Connect® digital learning
platform a free 60-minute tutoring session with TutorMe.
As online and blended learning continues to be the new normal
for many students, the collaboration between McGraw Hill and
TutorMe seeks to ensure that students receive the support they need
and remain engaged as their learning environment shifts throughout
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Through the partnership, students
will receive a one hour, one-on-one tutoring session free of
charge. TutorMe live tutors are available 24/7 and highly trained
in the relevant subject matter to help foster deep student
understanding and fluency.
Tutoring sessions will be available to users of the McGraw
Hill Connect digital courseware in an effort to elevate
college students' online learning experience. Connect digital
courseware adapts in real-time to a student's activity and adjusts
to the individual's performance and confidence levels. As students
identify areas where they are struggling, they will be able to
access a TutorMe tutor to help them address comprehension
and coursework challenges. McGraw Hill registered more than 4.3
million college student activations of Connect in its 2020 fiscal
year.
The TutorMe support is the newest capability being made
available to students through McGraw Hill digital course materials,
which are designed to improve learning outcomes for students, while
ensuring affordability and high value. TutorMe and McGraw Hill
offered a pilot program in the fall of 2019 in four course
areas and are now expanding the program offer to all Connect
courses.
"We believe in providing all students with the tools and support
they need to succeed, no matter where they start," said
Michael Ryan, President of Higher
Education at McGraw Hill. "And this is especially important with
online learning programs continuing to expand due to COVID-19. By
making TutorMe tutoring available to all students who use Connect,
more students will have access to help when they need it."
"TutorMe and McGraw Hill share a foundational commitment to the
academic success of students," said Myles
Hunter, CEO and co-founder of TutorMe. "We are excited that
following an initial trial program, McGraw Hill has decided to
offer TutorMe to all its Connect students. Their decision speaks
volumes to their commitment to putting their students' learning
first."
