Tutornow

What Tutornow does

Tutornow S.r.l. is an Italian EdTech company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Lomazzo (Como), Italy, operating an online tutoring platform that connects K-12 and university students with qualified tutors for live, personalized lessons across 150+ subjects. The platform's core technology is an AI-driven tutor-student matching algorithm that processes student intake data (learning needs, subject requirements, preferences) to recommend tutors from a network of 15,000+ qualified educators, including university graduates, undergraduates, and professional teachers. Tutornow monetizes B2C tutoring on a transaction-fee basis with lesson packages starting at €15/hour, flexible installment payments (PayPal, Scalapay, Klarna), group discounts up to 40%, and integration with company welfare platforms for B2B2C distribution. A dedicated teaching consultant model, WhatsApp-based tutor communication, and a guaranteed first lesson within two working days constitute the consumer value proposition.

The company has expanded beyond B2C into two adjacent segments. The B2B corporate training vertical, branded 'Tutornow for Companies', delivers live role-based programs across four pillars (AI & Technology, Data & Analytics, Language Learning, Finance & ESG) under multi-year contracts with enterprise clients including Intesa San Paolo, KPMG, Swatch, and TIM, with reported metrics of 7,000+ certified trainees and 98% satisfaction. The Schools vertical targets Italian institutions under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR/NRRP), delivering STEM, Robotics, and digital literacy programs. Geographic reach spans five countries (Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Portugal) via a multi-language website, and was materially extended in July 2025 through the acquisition of Hdemia SAGL, a Swiss corporate language training company based in Lugano.

Tutornow's go-to-market combines a product-led growth motion (self-serve request form with one-day consultant follow-up) for consumers with an enterprise field sales motion (demo/webinar bookings targeting People & L&D, Data & AI, and Finance & ESG leaders) for corporate clients. The company raised €1M in seed funding in May 2025 led by Mario Peveraro (ONE4 co-founder) with Techstars, Invitalia's Smart&Start, and Kf-invest, following an earlier Techstars-backed round in February 2023. Headcount has grown from 4 founders to 30 employees, and the company reports 100% year-over-year revenue growth since founding with over 150,000 lesson hours delivered cumulatively.
