Together with Education Services Giant The Princeton Review, Leading Tutoring Organization Recognized for Innovations in AI and On-Demand Tutoring

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tutor.com today announced that, together with affiliate The Princeton Review^®, it has been named a winner in the Product of the Year Awards for 2024 by Campus Technology and THE Journal. Both publications are part of Converge360, a division of 1105 Media.

The award programs honor the outstanding product development achievements of manufacturers and suppliers whose products or services are considered particularly noteworthy in the transformation of education technology. This year, 13 brands were recognized by Campus Technology and 17 by THE Journal.

Tutor.com and The Princeton Review's AI-based tools for tutoring were honored with a Platinum Award by both Campus Technology and THE Journal. On-Demand Tutoring, delivered via the award-winning proprietary platform LEO^®, received a Gold Award from both publications.

"We are thrilled to be recognized for our innovative products and services," said Robert Batten, Chief Executive Officer of Tutor.com and The Princeton Review. "With a decades-long track record of delivering technology solutions to help students realize their academic potential, we are dedicated to launching products that aid and inspire learners everywhere."

"Our 2024 Product Award winners are being recognized for their vital contributions to enhancing teaching, learning, and administration in the education field," said Rhea Kelly, editor-in-chief of Campus Technology and THE Journal. "Congratulations to the outstanding products and solutions that have made a remarkable difference this year."

Drawing on instructional methodology honed over the course of more than 27 million tutoring sessions, Tutor.com and The Princeton Review purpose-built AI tools that provide encouraging, empowering, effective, and timely support—and ensure the highest quality of every session. The "Ask LEO" chatbot provides tutor-like responsiveness, using Socratic questioning and scaffolding to help students address challenging assignments with increasing independence. The AI essay review and AI college admissions essay counseling tools provide constructive feedback nearly instantaneously, allowing students to hone their writing and resubmit their work as often as needed.

"We have also launched a proprietary in-house AI tool to further enhance the best-in-class quality control process that has long been a hallmark of our services," said Batten. "All of our AI tools were developed to help students get fast, encouraging, and impactful support that empowers them to refine and improve their own work—by the experts who have been helping students achieve success for decades."

Students whose K–12 and higher education institutions offer these services can access the trusted AI tools on the LEO platform, which centralizes the scheduling, delivery, and analytics for a wide range of student support services—including the award-winning On-Demand Tutoring service.

With single sign-on through their institutions' learning management systems or platforms, students can access On-Demand Tutoring in 250+ subjects, including many bilingual offerings, along with other synchronous, asynchronous, and self-paced tools, including test prep from The Princeton Review.

In two recent independent effectiveness studies, this On-Demand Tutoring service was shown to meet ESSA Level II evidence requirements for positive impacts on student outcomes, including improved student grades and attendance.

Powered by LEO's robust scheduling tools, interactive classroom, and data engine, both of these products of the year drive student success. "For all of our programs, teachers as well as administrators can access robust, real-time data and analytics about student learning engagements," added Batten. "They can refer students for tutoring, chart progress, and even receive real-time early intervention alerts. We are proud to have architected products that improve education at scale."

A full list of winners can be found at Campus Technology and THE Journal, respectively.
