Editor's Notes
You get the personalized help you always deserved and you get it right at that moment.
Question skill linking to a broader customer base
This leads us to the market.
Two pronged approach to get instructors on board.
A recent entrant into this market was Google Helpouts and LiveNinja. We at Qurious believe that we need to focus on the student’s question, not on the topic.
