Download the GoPeer Mobile app for easy and fast communication with tutors.

Search "GoPeer" on the App Store to download the app. Or, get the GoPeer App for iPhones here. *Android app coming soon.

Once you request recommendations, we will suggest three college students who we think could be your next great tutor!

You will be notified via the GoPeer App, email, or text when the tutor responds.

We highly recommend verifying your phone number because you will be able to receive and respond to new messages from tutors as a secure text message (this makes communication significantly easier because you can send messages without going to the website). Your personal phone number will never be shared.

Not only can a near-peer mentor provide personalized, up-to-date academic guidance, but also he or she can do so with the empathy that only someone who has recently been in the student’s shoes can provide.

What truly sets GoPeer apart is our instructors. We’re extremely selective — we hire fewer than 5% of applicants, and our tutors come from top-tier colleges & universities. We believe that GoPeer’s instructors are the best in their field and provide mentorship that other tutors don’t offer.

GoPeer’s Innovative Approach to Tutoring

Whether a student needs help with homework, studying for an exam, SAT/ACT test prep, or simply wants to learn something new — the way GoPeer Tutors teach helps students build confidence, master concepts, and apply their learnings for long-term success.

At GoPeer, we know that no two students learn the same way! Some students are visual learners who process information with help from images and spatial relations. Other students may prefer to talk through concepts to understand them. No matter how they prefer to learn, we believe that every student deserves 1-on-1 personalized instruction tailored to their needs.

This belief is a GoPeer cornerstone and a North Star that guides the development of our teaching methods and technology.

GoPeer Tutors use encouraging language to promote Growth Mindset, a concept pioneered by Stanford professor and leading motivation researcher Carol Dweck, PhD. Growth Mindset is the idea that we grow and better ourselves by learning from mistakes because a positive and supportive learning environment helps students do their best.

GoPeer Tutors ask guiding questions so that students take a more active role in reaching solutions. There’s a misconception that strong teaching is someone explaining something at you. We believe a collaborative approach rooted in Socratic inquiry is crucial for that long-term understanding.

GoPeer Tutors do not just give away answers. Instead, tutors utilize the Socratic Method and encouraging language to help students learn concepts so that they can confidently apply them long-term — on homework, tests, and in their future classes.

Of course, these are just a few of the ways in which GoPeer supports personalized, one-on-one learning.

Over the last three years, we have met and spoken with thousands of tutors and students to carefully refine our virtual classroom. From the insights learned, we have created the most versatile digital classroom that makes online tutoring personalized, effective, and collaborative.

With GoPeer, an online tutor offers the same face-to-face personalized tutoring experience as an in-person tutor but uses our state-of-the-art live learning platform to meet with you over the Internet.

We often speak with families who are skeptical about online tutoring, but once they try it, the students typically love it and see great results.

You might not know the specifics of exactly what happens during a private online tutoring lesson, so we wanted to describe our classes to make sure you understand what your student will experience!

GoPeer’s proprietary live learning platform features a secured online classroom, face-to-face video conferencing, virtual whiteboards, and saved lessons for easy review and reference.

In the online classroom, both the student and tutor can take control of the learning environment or annotate the screen — this means that the tutor can type out examples, help the student navigate to a particular tool or highlight where in the workspace the student should look for errors — all without switching seats. With GoPeer, students can move at their own pace with the personalized attention of their instructor.

Students and tutors communicate through GoPeer’s secure online classroom, using tools like real-time face-to-face video conferencing, photo/document sharing, and a virtual whiteboard/notepad to collaborate or edit essays.

The learning doesn’t stop when the session is over. To keep parents and guardians in the loop, the tutor adds a summary of the student’s lesson progress after each class. Because the classes are 1-on-1, if a student falls behind, our instructors are able to accommodate them and adjust the teaching strategies accordingly. We regularly check in with parents to make sure that everyone is on the right track.
