New strategic partnership blends acclaimed digital test prep with the proven, hands-on support of in-person tutors.
PHOENIX — Believing that the best learning happens when great technology supports great people, Shmoop is partnering with Studyville, a rapidly growing tutoring provider. Together, they will combine Shmoop’s engaging test-prep tools with Studyville’s hands-on tutoring to give students a more connected and effective path to success.
This partnership comes at a time when many schools are drowning in computer programs that promise everything but deliver little. Shmoop and Studyville are taking a different approach: Human Intelligence first.
“We are excited about the collaboration between Shmoop and Studyville, which combines our cutting-edge technology with Studyville’s exceptional human tutors to provide students with a comprehensive and highly effective learning experience. Our shared goal is to offer the most impactful solutions for students today,” says CEO of Shmoop Andrew Caldwell.
The integration of Shmoop’s technology, including test prep tools and teacher resources, with the personalized guidance from Studyville’s tutors creates a powerful synergy. This blend ensures that students not only have access to advanced digital learning tools but also receive the individualized support and motivation that only human interaction can provide.
“We believe that this partnership will empower students to achieve their academic goals by leveraging the strengths of both platforms: Shmoop’s proven technological solutions and Studyville’s dedicated and skilled educators. We are committed to continuing to innovate and collaborate to deliver the best possible educational outcomes for students,” said Shmoop CEO Andrew Caldwell.
Shmoop brings engaging digital content and proven test prep materials that have helped students across the country boost their standardized test scores. In Utah, where every high school student has free access to Shmoop’s ACT prep through a statewide partnership, the state consistently ranks #1 in the nation for ACT scores. Now students nationwide will have access to the same powerful tools that helped Utah reach the top.
Studyville brings in-person human tutors who know their students’ names, understand their struggles, and celebrate their victories. To date, Studyville has helped thousands of students achieve remarkable growth. Their secret? Real people, not more screen time. Students who work with Studyville tutors see nearly 200% improvement in reading skills. Three out of four students advance to harder material within just two weeks.
“In an age where AI and screens dominate education, we’re committed to preserving the irreplaceable value of human connection in learning. By effectively integrating Shmoop’s advanced technology for diagnostics and curriculum, our in-person tutors can provide an even more impactful and personalized learning experience” said Amanda Martin, CEO and Founder of Studyville. “This partnership allows each company to focus on what they do best—Shmoop delivers world-class technology, curriculum, and software, while we provide the human touch that transforms that content into real understanding and relationships that can impact a student for a lifetime. Together, we’re creating a best-in-class tutoring experience that will be competitive nationwide.”
The partnership works like this: Students get access to Shmoop’s award-winning test prep materials and engaging content. But instead of working alone at a computer, they’ll have Studyville’s trained tutors right there with them. The tutors use the technology as a tool, while providing the encouragement, explanation, and connection that only humans can offer.
The services will be available at Studyville’s academic workspaces and directly in partner schools across multiple states. Schools interested in learning more can contact either company for details.
