I recently had the chance to catch up with Anthony Salcito, who leads Varsity Tutors for Schools and is responsible for Nerdy’s efforts to support institutions as they work to transform learning opportunities for students and educators across a range of offerings. Prior to joining Nerdy, Anthony served as Vice President of Worldwide Education at Microsoft, where he helped launch many of the company’s cornerstone education programs and was responsible for driving Microsoft’s education work globally. In our conversation, Anthony answered my questions around whether tutoring will remain in school districts as COVID stimulus funds wind down and what is it about Varsity Tutors’ business model that allows them to provide on-demand live courses, test prep, and chat-tutoring for free.
