Hard to believe you’re already back, and with summer still upon us, we’ll be forced to watch these golden days dwindle away through the window of a classroom……Never forget summer, a wise young lady once told me. Sorry to end the party kids, but Math and Science have been hitting the weight room and drinking protein shakes, all in preparation to kick the living ________ out of you, like, this week. You’re starting to sweat just thinking about it, or maybe it’s still 104F where you live, oh well, either way ziizoo is your 6’6″ 245 pound friend who knows Kung Fu, Krav Maga, Russian Sambo and Jiu-Jitsu and hates watching you suffer. Ziizoo is the Feydor of online tutoring. Fast, fearsome, effective and cheap.

Turn ziizoo.com loose on Calculus, Chemistry, Algebra 2, Physics, Spanish, Statistics…..you name it. Ziizoo can beat it. Want an undefeated semester? Get ziizoo.com!

Forgot your username or password? Just pull out your credit card sized, constructed of durable plastic, little reminder in your wallet or purse, and presto! No more filling out some dumb form to get your password sent to you via email which requires that you remember your username, which you forgot, or ends up in your Spam folder and you can’t find it, or you can’t read the freaking re-captcha verification word, or it makes you reset everything after you finally GET the email, none of which you don’t want to do…..basically we are saving you time and pain, provided you don’t lose it.

Looks like we saved the day, folks. The Google Mini is alive and kicking in its new home, safe and sound. So search is up and running again. Have fun!

Sorry folks, looks like search is going to be down until later tonight or tomorrow. We had to move a server and restart it in a new location; and no you aren’t crazy, it has not been working properly for the past 48 hours or so, but the team caught on and is working non-stop to get it back up and running.

Stand by……

For a startup venture like Ziizoo, CRM is at the very crux of business survival because the cost of catching the attention of a prospective customer can be astronomical.  You’re not only wrestling attention from “the powers that be” but also trying to evince some flair among the clutter of online advertising.  So once you grab someone’s attention, you’re already in the phase in which you’ve got only a modicum of time to demonstrate what you do AND that you do it well.  From the customer’s (student’s) point of view, they want to be confident that they can easily access a tutor who is effective in answering their questions.  This requires the harmony of two things: (1) a stable, smooth connection with the tutor, and (2) a dedicated and capable tutor committed to their craft.  Ziizoo’s business model is designed to select for the cream-of-the-crop tutors, but when the connection fails, the tutor needs to mitigate the situation as best as they can, because those customer don’t just potentially belong to Ziizoo; they potentially belong to you as well!  And it is this idea of “ownership” that should motivate you to salvage and manage a “crisis” when they do occur.

What would I do?  First thing is to follow up on the student immediately.  Usually, when you first get the session request, you can see the student’s name, so keep that in mind.  A simple site search on the name should access their profile, but it’s a bit harder if the search comes up empty.  If you’re lucky enough to have had some connection, then you should easily have a link on your account “dashboard” tab which records all successful connections.  If not, I’d let the site founder Robert Einspruch know (can search his profile) or his brother Alex who is on the site most every day, and give them a message.

Hey kiddos. Looks like you survived another year of highschool exams, you graduated and are heading into college life, or perhaps you are getting used to junior high and it’s almost over. What do all these things have in common? You gotta keep studying no matter what, and you gotta get help when YOU need it, not when a tutor has time. Ziizoo can help 24 hours a day. So, for most of you, tests and exams are on hold until at least late August, but summer school has just ramped up for lots of you guys. Remember, if you need help we are here ALL SUMMER LONG, 24 hours a day.

Stop by, we’ll be here.

What do you guys, our tutors, think?

Read it. Great grades can get your far, but how far?

What are your schools’ exam schedules like?
