What are the benefits for schools?

Budgets across the country are being slashed to pieces, and with this in mind Tutor Matching Service was developed to present an application that would be free for students to use, and could help school administrators cut costs. Managing individual departments' revolving door of tutors takes an inordinate amount of time, effort and organization in order to effectively provide service to students. TMS eliminates the need for departments to waste time and money doing what the TMS application does quickly and easily. Considering that the students and (more often than not) the tutors are also part of the school community, perhaps schools should also take into consideration the benefits to the individual members of their academic communities.

How do I get the process started?

Getting started is easy. Go ahead and click the button below to fill out our TMS Interest Form. From there, our experienced team will help you put together the easiest, most cost-effective strategy for your school. We will first customize the Facebook application to include your Student Government Logo and University name. Once the application is up and running, you must select a Tutor Matching Service Campus Representative to help with marketing and promotions at your university. This student will be trained by the qualified staff of TMS and will be provided an instructional manual with recommended strategies and flyer templates. The representative should be provided at least a $250 budget for administrative costs such as printing and organizational outreach.

After TMS becomes well known on your campus, the application pretty much runs itself. Tutor Matching Service will take care of all application maintenance and keep in constant contact with your university. With such an easy start-up process, Tutor Matching Service could be benefiting your students in as soon as a month from today!

How Do We Promote TMS At Our School?

Once a customized Tutor Matching Service application is created for your school, promotion should be fairly simple. Because TMS utilizes Facebook's viral community, online marketing is easy. You can spread the word through the fan page or create a link to TMS on your Student Government's website. Other than Facebook, on campus flyering is a great way to let students know about the benefits of TMS. TMS will provide customizable handout templates and a comprehensive overview of how to advertise the application. With these effective promotional methods, TMS will travel quickly by word-of-mouth communication.

What Makes This Application Unique?
