  13. Education on Demand as a Brand Our tutors need to

    break the mold and be hip, brainy, and fun. Learning is all about charisma. The right brand expands the market, appealing to consumers otherwise excluded by the price, rigid scheduling, or intimidating nature of traditional tutoring companies. Knowledge is a commodity. We simply match the consumer with the right provider. We make academic success into a professional opportunity. Money provides the ultimate motivation. A B C D
