Tutor.com wins Spring 2008 Parents' Choice Foundation Gold Award

Leader in On Demand Homework Help and Tutoring Services Receives Highest Recognition as an Online Education Tool

Tutor.com, the online tutoring company, has been chosen as one of Parents' Choice Foundation's Gold Award Recipients and the sole winner in the Online Software category. The company is being recognized for its ability to engage students ages 10-18 in a fun and innovative manner that supplements their education.

Tutor.com has delivered more than 3 million one-on-one tutoring sessions in a safe and secure online classroom to students across the United States.

"For some parents, the Internet still represents an environment over which they have little control over their children's activities. That's why at Tutor.com we take the responsibility to deliver safe and effective tutoring that parents can trust. We are thrilled to be recognized by Parents' Choice Foundation," says Tutor.com CEO, George Cigale.

To ensure a safe learning environment for every student, Tutor.com employs strict quality control over tutoring sessions. Each tutor must pass an extensive application and certification process that includes a thorough third-party background check and educational screening, before they can begin tutoring. And, every Tutor.com session is reviewed for quality control and professionalism. Parents can also review transcripts of their student's sessions at any time.

Parents' Choice Foundation, established in 1978, is the oldest independent surveyor of educational products for children. Those who are on the reviewers' panel include teachers, parents, scientists, and librarians, as well as kids. Paying special attention to children's media that help children learn, Parents' Choice Foundation reviews hundreds of products throughout the year and only the top 1%-2% receive Gold recognition.

"Our committees recognized Tutor.com with a Parents' Choice Gold Award, in part, for the commitment to providing students and parents with an effective and safe online tutoring service," says Claire S. Greene, President, Parents' Choice Foundation.
