| Education: | MyGuru LLC is a 1-1 tutoring and test prep company founded and operated by Northwestern University students, graduates, and PhDs. MyGuru recruits excellent tutors with impressive academic backgrounds and a minimum of two years of experience actually teaching or tutoring. We provide a money back guarantee, and you can learn more about us at www.myguruedge.com. We were founded in Chicago, but are selectively expanding to additional U.S. cities. |
| Experience: | MyGuru LLC (www.myguruedge.com) is a 1-1 tutoring and test prep company founded and operated by Northwestern University graduates. Our typical tutor is a PhD student at a prestigious university such as Northwestern University in Evanston, IL and has been tutoring or teaching for > 3 years. Many of our tutors are also certified teachers or former instructors at the large, well known test prep companies, and many hold MBAs, JDs, PhDs, CPAs, and CFA degrees. We recruit only the most experienced, accomplished, and generally impressive tutors. We are building a small, premier tutoring company. One of the founders personally interviews each new tutor, and we are very selective in who we recruit, accepting ~10% of tutor applicants. We help middle school, high school, and college students gain an edge with simple, effective, affordable solutions. We offer 1-1 and small group academic tutoring, as well as ACT/SAT/GRE/GMAT/LSAT/MCAT/ prep. Working with MyGuru combines the convenience and low cost of an individual tutor (who travels to your home or a local coffee shop to work with you) with the benefits of an established company. We recruit and “screen” our tutors for academic prowess and strong communication skills, offer a money back guarantee, and coordinate scheduling, payment, and the setting of objectives for each session to ensure you get as much out of the tutoring process as possible.

| Hobbies: | The founder of MyGuru LLC was a busy high school student involved in varsity ice hockey, tennis, and golf, as well as the student newspaper. He played hockey and was involved in several clubs while in college, as well. He founded MyGuru to help similarly busy yet academically motivated students better "juggle it all" and reach their full academic and professional potential. |

My daughter was able to increase her score by three points (27 - 30) with Hntsa's and MyGuru's help and now she wants to get some additional help for the upcoming test in December. Keep up the good work.

Mary is a fantastic tutor. She is so patient and always stays over the allotted hour--I never feel rushed. Mark provided me with a lot of info about MyGuru, and offered various payment plans. I could not be happier with MyGuru. |

Colby has been doing great in school as Colby's says, "Bill taught me how to learn Geometry". We couldn't have been happier with Bill from My Guru. Please thank him for us. If Colby starts to struggle again with math, we will certainly reach out to My Guru again. |

Vinny felt Bill was not only knowledgeable on every subject but helped him understand the finer points and nuances of each of the tests. |

My conceptual understanding has improved dramatically. Particularly, my comprehension of force vectors and unit conversion has gone from mediocre to thorough. The underlying logic of the principles at work makes sense for the first time, whereas previously the reasons behind those types of problems were not made clear in class or the textbook. |

Working with John from MyGuru was directly responsible for an average ten point increase in my GMAT-Quant scores. |

I was able to understand the material much more clearly and confidently after working with Tracy. I would estimate that her tutoring improved my performance by 30%. |

I just want to take a minute and tell how much I appreciated Andrew from MyGuru helping me to prepare for my entrance exam for Chamberlain College of Nursing.
Before I met with Andrew, I took a few practice tests from a study guide to prepare for the nursing test provided by HESI (Health Information Systems, Inc.), and I was truly failing on all of the practice tests - literally getting less than half right on each exam, which covered Biology, Chemistry, and Anatomy and Physiology. After only having less than 2 weeks to prepare for the exam (I just took it this past Wednesday), I did incredibly well, having an overall composite score of 85%!!
Unbelievable! I'm so happy! The test was incredibly hard, and I know without a doubt that I wouldn't have done so well without his support. I am more confidant that I will be accepted into Chamberlain. |

Irinia was great!!!! Very patient and very informative. She explained the content better than my professor. |
|
|
Sarah was great! My daughter believes she will be able to improve her ACT score...we would love more sessions. |
|
|
Constance (my son's Northwestern PhD student ACT tutor from MyGuru) was great. Cody really enjoyed her, his words were "She is a really good teacher." |

Thank you - I am a happy customer. Kamila is doing a very good job helping me with my accounting class. |
|
|
Thank you for hooking me up with Phil tonight (one of MyGuru's finance, accounting, and statistics tutors) - he is brilliant. |
