NextGuru.com Accelerates Expansion into Five New States

June 28, 2011 - PRLog -- June 28, 2011 San Mateo, CA. Just over a year ago, NextGuru.com launched a website in Southern California for students and private tutors to freely connect. With minimal resources, the company observed and tested the beta site and discovered more demand than anticipated.  The small start-up began plans to draw on parent, student and teacher feedback to re-launch with enhanced search capabilities, privacy-protection, a “best match” trial program, and a brand-new look.

In May 2011, NextGuru.com launched the redesigned website, a new “NG” logo featuring a book, music clef and ball, and the most critical element: hundreds of tutor profiles with pictures, subject expertise, credentials, availability, rates, recommendations and more.  With the new website launch, e-mails came pouring in, asking the company to allow tutors from neighboring states to sign on.

In response to this enthusiasm, NextGuru.com opened up tutor registration in Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada and Texas just this month... and again, hundreds have already signed on. Why all this excitement? Traditional options like classified ads, agencies and centers do not always work for everyone.  More importantly, none of these options give parents and students the same opportunity to evaluate multiple choices and make an informed decision.

“I’m so passionate about this space…” says Chief Mom Officer Jenny Chang, “...and there’s so much excitement out there that the NextGuru team is working around the clock to meet this growing need.”  So check out the hype at http://www.nextguru.com – expanding quickly so you can soon find your own next guru.
