When we started Nimbus Learning, we looked to solve what we saw as a gap in
support for students such as ourselves. Our peers would reach out for help but
would be faced with a multitude of obstacles to access student success services.
We watched as they put time and effort into finding help (whether that be
finding tutors, mentors or other support) on top of an already intense workload,
juggling school, jobs and family responsibilities. We watched their health,
wellbeing and success suffer as a result. When we connected with administrators
to try to understand the problem, we saw ambitious and dedicated offices
spending a significant amount of time every day on repetitive, time consuming
tasks. Tasks like emailing to match students with the right mentor, recruiting
tutors, and tracking hours and time sheets. Over the years we have honed Nimbus
Learning’s services to make student success services more accessible while
cutting down on the administrative workload. The Nimbus Platform centralizes
tutoring, mentorship and advising programs into one place, where service
providers can make their availability known in a few steps and students can book
what they need at the click of a button. We help tutors develop the tools they
need to succeed in their first jobs, empower administrators to see every aspect
of their program in seconds and guide future planning based on in-depth
analytics. We now work with administrators at over 25 schools, representing a
quarter of a million students, to reduce the time that they spend on managing
their student services by 52%. That return on time allows them to actually grow
their services instead of just maintaining them and what we see are efficient,
budget-saving programs that provide more value to students, help students do
better academically and, ultimately, help them succeed.
