Philadelphia Location

MyGuru tutors always meet you at a mutually agreed upon location, such as a cafe, your home or a library in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs. 


Why? We do this to save overhead costs, which saves you both time and money. 

Our physical address in Philadelphia is:

MyGuru - Philadelphia
4269 Walnut St., Apt 1

We work hard to make sure that the student and the tutor have a convenient and accessible place to meet for tutoring sessions. We want to make sure the experience is as easy as possible for everyone involved!

Again, these are administrative offices only. Almost all tutoring takes place in public locations, students' homes, or online.

We pride ourselves on offering the best value in the business, especially in your specific Philadelphia area.  We charge between $45 and $125 per hour, depending on the subject and tutor. 
 
To compare, the cost for 1-on-1 tutoring with the same level of high quality tutors with two of our competitors:

- at Kaplan --> $150 to $200 per hour

Why pay more?  We charge you for the tutor's time, not for a bunch of overhead costs.  Check out our Pricing tab for more information.
