Upswing

Forget what you know about online tutoring. Upswing is on a mission to end attrition. Upswing is redefining what it means to support student success. We partner with colleges to provide an easy-to-use virtual learning center for students, and real-time comprehensive analytics to their administrators. Each day, over 35,000 students have access to live, 24/7 tutoring via Upswing. Each student can choose which tutor to connect with among both their college support staff and Upswing's coaches. Sessions take place within Upswing -- complete with audio, video, document sharing, and a virtual whiteboard. Each session is recorded, aggregated, and reported back to admins so they can become equipped with the tools necessary to help fight student attrition. In the year since our launch, more than 10% of North Carolina colleges have signed on with Upswing. That's over 1600 sessions and counting, and we are adding 3,000 new students every month!
