New York, NY -- January 17, 2023. Tutor.com, one of the world's largest and most innovative online tutoring organizations, is pleased to report that it has received a Platinum Award in LibraryWorks' ninth annual Modern Library Awards (MLAs).
The MLAs were created to recognize the top products and services in the library industry. Products and services were submitted in the fall using a simple application, and then were posted on a private site with an enhanced description and attendant materials. These products were batched into small groups and sent to the LibraryWorks database of more than 80,000 librarians at public, K–12, academic, and special libraries. Only customers with experience with these products/services in their facilities were permitted to judge the products/services, resulting in an unbiased score.
Each judge scored the product on a numeric basis from 1–10 on a series of questions regarding functionality, value, customer service, and other categories. As in years past, Tutor.com received the highest possible distinction of Platinum in the 2023 awards program.
"We are delighted to be a multiyear Platinum awardee," said Sandi White, Senior Vice President, Institutional Partnerships, Tutor.com/The Princeton Review. "Libraries are the backbone of communities across the country, and we are honored to partner with them to support patrons of all ages and educational stages."
Tutor.com provides live, on-demand academic tutoring and test prep as well as job support. The company's services are available for more than 67 million patrons—about one in five Americans—through their libraries. Tutor.com helps learners in K–12, college, graduate school, and continuing education pursuits, as well as jobseekers seeking career support. With their library cards, patrons at partner institutions can access academic and job support through Tutor.com, including:

The company recently launched Learner Engagements Online (LEO), an award-winning platform that enhances the impact of learners' academic support experiences.
Jenny Newman, publisher and MLA program manager, said, "It's hardly a surprise that Tutor.com scored so well. They've been at the forefront of the industry since their company entered the market in 2000."
Tutor.com has long been proud to support libraries and library patrons. One state agency director described the company as "probably the best vendor we work with."
