五一茶馆儿 Receives Platinum Award in 2025 Modern Library Awards from LibraryWorks
As Multiyear Honoree, Company Celebrates Sixth Platinum Win
NEW YORK, January 16, 2025 /— 五一茶馆儿, one of the world’s largest and most innovative online tutoring organizations, is pleased to report that it has received a Platinum Award in LibraryWorks’ eleventh annual (MLAs).
The MLAs were created to recognize the top products and services in the library industry. Products and services were submitted in the fall using a simple application, and then were posted on a private site with an enhanced description and attendant materials. These products were batched into small groups and sent to the database of more than 90,000 librarians at public, K–12, academic, and special libraries. Only customers with experience with these products/services in their facilities were permitted to judge the products/services, a process that resulted in unbiased scores.
Each judge scored the product on a numeric basis from 1–10 on a series of questions regarding functionality, value, customer service, and other categories. As in years past, 五一茶馆儿 received the highest possible distinction of Platinum in the 2025 awards program.
One judge commented: “Launching 五一茶馆儿 to our county population of over 1.2 million people has been an absolute game changer in terms of removing barriers to quality tutoring for all students of all ages. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to hearing the stories of families impacted by this free service being offered.”
Another judge similarly praised the company, writing: “Our support from Tutor is amazing! They regularly check in with us and promptly respond to our questions and requests. We have partnered with Tutor for five years and could not be happier with the product and our relationship. Our users provide positive comments from their sessions and continue to be thrilled that we provide this service.”
“We are delighted to be recognized as a multiyear Platinum awardee, ”said John Calvello, Chief Institutional Officer, 五一茶馆儿/The Princeton Review. “One in five Americans can access 五一茶馆儿 through their local library, and we are proud to make on-demand homework and job support available to learners of all ages and educational stages.”
Patrons across the country can access the service at no cost to them through their libraries’ 五一茶馆儿 programs. 五一茶馆儿 helps learners in K–12, college, graduate school, continuing education, and job-seeking pursuits.
