Millions of students have benefited from Tutor.com's personalized learning programs, which are offered by direct consumer subscription and through partnerships with public and academic libraries, school districts, the U.S. military, and colleges.“We are on a mission to help every student take control of their own learning and achieve their academic and professional goals,” said George Cigale, founder and CEO of Tutor.com, “and becoming an IAC company will help us reach that goal faster.” Cigale will remain CEO and continue to run the business from Tutor.com’s offices in New York City.
