NextGuru.com Goes National Just Three Months After Re-launch

Aug. 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Just over three months ago, a little Southern California startup, NextGuru.com, launched a redesigned website for private tutors, music teachers and coaches and announced expansion to Northern California. “This was a big deal to us,” says Chief Mom Officer Jenny Chang, “At that time we were completely concentrated in the Los Angeles area and had plans to enter the San Francisco Bay area. There was no talk of national expansion beyond an aspirational goal.”

Hundreds of California-based teachers immediately signed up and those in neighboring states asked to be included as well. To meet this demand, the company began opening up tutor registration to new states in June. Since then, new states have been added each week, hundreds of new tutors have signed on, and NextGuru.com has grown to over 4000 tutor members and counting. Just two weeks ago… the company officially opened up tutor registration to all fifty states.

How is NextGuru.com growing so rapidly? Private teachers are challenged with finding affordable ways to advertise their service while maintaining some personal privacy. Their only alternative to fee-based classified ads are agencies which are less flexible and require lesson commissions to cover overhead. NextGuru.com breaks these compromises by offering free teaching profiles to tutors, free search tools for prospective students, and a privacy-protected environment for users to exchange pre-class questions.  Once a mutually-agreeable connection is made, students register for a no-obligation trial class which then establishes a true independent private teacher relationship – free of agency fees!

So no matter what state you live in, if you are a private instructor looking for a new way to market your services, consider becoming a tutor at http://www.nextguru.com/privatetutoring where NextGuru is always looking for the next guru.
