IN RESPONSE: FROM WheresMyTutor.com = the complaint we are
responding to is from Ms. Larimore (in Portland, OR). Why do
we know this? Because in 5 years, she is the only complaint
we've ever had. Indeed, daily we are receiving many Tutoring
Requests for our tutors in Portland. I wonder if Ms.
Larimore in Portland ever googled "tutors portland" or "tutor
portland" and had a look at the sponsored links on the right
hand side. How many times per day are those links clicked?
Ms. Larimore's *Profile Page* was an average one, and if she
was not contacted, we deeply regret that. But while her
claim that she did not receive any tutoring requests "may" be
legitimate, it does not substantiate that WheresMyTutor.com
(as a whole) is a waste of tutor's time. Most who join have
enormous success as tutors. Perhaps even Ms. Larimore has by
now... - Justin Ketcham, Director of Tutoring Services.
