MathCrunch operates a mobile marketplace that matches students with tutors who guide them through math problems via chat after students submit a photo of the problem. The platform focuses on math subjects such as algebra, calculus, and geometry and charges students by the minute for tutoring. Pricing tiers listed include $12 for 30 minutes, $22 for 60 minutes, and $40 for 120 minutes; students can also earn minutes through referrals. Tutors are pre-vetted with a math test and a 30-minute chat evaluation with a senior tutor, are rated by students, and are paid by the minute. The app leverages mobile messaging and on-demand matching to create a viral referral loop aimed at growth. MathCrunch reports more than 100,000 successful tutoring sessions and is exploring additional services and new pricing models, including a potential subscription offering.
