TUTORSPREE is shutting down, as TechCrunch noted. The graduate from YCombinator's Winter 2011 cohort offered an online marketplace where students can find local private tutors and schedule in-person sessions. Here's the founders' farewell note in the company blog. In an email to TechCrunch, Tutorspree CEO admitted that the team of ten "realized it would not scale in a way that would meet our goals. It was a tough decision emotionally, but it was the right move from the rational perspective." Tutorspree had raised a total of $1.8 million, with the most recent round in February 2013.
