Your Enhanced Tutoring Department Built around your campus

Nimbus is your Enhanced Tutoring Department, a team and a platform working alongside yours. We plan your program with you, recruit, manage, and pay your tutors, promote the service to students, and review the numbers with you every term.

A team that works on your program with you

Our Partner Success Team meets with you as often as you need. They bring program analysis, advice, marketing support, and what they have learned running tutoring with other institutions.

“I think the most helpful thing was that I honestly felt like there were no dumb questions.”

What our team takes on

Each partner picks the services that fit. Scope is agreed before launch.

  • Program design and launch

    We work with you to set program structure, course and schedule offering, and budget, then implement it with you.

  • Tutor interviewing and recruitment

    We recruit and interview tutors using your institution’s guidelines and requirements. Background checks are available.

  • Tutor and student support

    Training resources for new tutors, and help encouraging students who need support to use it.

  • Marketing and outreach

    Custom graphics, social media plans, and website content. We also reach out to professors, student associations, and clubs.

  • Program consolidation

    Several tutoring programs on campus? We plan how to bring them together and talk with the people who run them.

  • Schedule and budget optimization

    We cut empty sessions and match session types to demand: peak hours and days, popular courses, group or one to one.

  • Payroll, contracts, and tax forms

    As your Enhanced Tutoring Department, Nimbus handles tutor pay and the paperwork that comes with it.

  • Feature requests

    Need something specific for your program? Tell us, and our tech team will work on it with you.

  • Reporting and review

    Attendance, utilization, and student feedback, reviewed with you each term to decide what to change next.

Outreach when your team is stretched

At the Alma Mater Society at UBC, two coordinators oversee 30 to 40 tutors. Nimbus contacted student clubs and societies across campus to promote the service.

“Nimbus helped a lot because they reached out to many AMS constituencies – the clubs and organizations at UBC, like the arts undergrad societies, the economics society, geography…”
