Our take
E-learning resources have existed since the dawn of the web, with students watching videos, taking quizzes, and using other online tools to augment their education. However, such resources are often not endorsed by educational facilities and curriculums, and generally consist of fixed media resources.
Study.com provides an all-in-one platform for K12 and college studying, offering a variety of services for both students and teachers. Students can benefit from personalized homework help videos and test preparation tools which count toward college credit, whilst teachers and parents can access a one-on-one tuition marketplace, lesson planning tools, and homeschooling curriculums.
Whilst education facilities are beginning to integrate their curriculums into e-learning resources across the world, Study.com has recognized that students and teachers need a more unified solution for studying, covering everything from tutorials and lesson plans to private tuition. Through its platform, the company aims to improve the e-learning experience for K12 and college students, whilst simultaneously helping teachers to improve lessons and find new clients.

Company benefits
- The benefits - We stay healthy with comprehensive medical, dental and vision benefits. We are smart with our money with a strong 401(k) option. We relax and blow off steam with plenty of flexible time off and vacation days
- The events - It's not enough spending 8 hours a day together, we enjoy working together so much that we hang out all the time outside the office. We have frequent team events, a holiday party, a beach day, baseball outings, a book club, team bowling and volleyball, and more!
- The food & drink - We get fed. A lot. On top of a fully-stocked kitchen with free chow, we get catered lunch every Wednesday, in-office and off-site Happy Hours and a mid-week "beer cart" that delivers a frosty brew to our desks. And the beer cart has blinking lights, so there's that
- The gym - We work off all those meals with free gym memberships, usable at multiple locations around the Silicon Valley. Basically, we are all ripped
- The location - We are located in the heart of downtown Mountain View, CA, right off the Castro strip and literally across the street from the Mountain View Caltrain and VTA station. We're also near US Highway 101 and El Camino Real. There's always a convenient way to get to work. Plus, we get free Caltrain passes
- The innovation - We know a great team needs time to experiment, learn new technology and think outside the box. Anyone can schedule innovation time to work on projects of interest and the whole company participates in "Rockethons" where we innovate for 24 hours
Company values
- The people - One of the best parts of working at Study.com is the people. We set a high bar and hire smart, friendly, creative people, passionate about improving education
- Ownership & impact - We love problem solvers and encourage teams to make decisions and take ownership. As a small and flexible company, you get the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects and really create an impact
- No red tape - We embrace the principles of agile development to decentralize decision making. This helps us move fast and get things done. Sometimes we break stuff along the way, but we learn from it and keep iterating, always learning and improving
