History

Established in 2010.

MyGuru was established in Chicago by Mark Skoskiewicz, a graduate of the Kellogg School of management at Northwestern University. Our business initially grew quite slowly since we concentrated on recruiting the best tutors possible even at the expense of having to turn students away.

Building on our success in Chicago, we established new branches in other metropolitan areas such as New York, Boston, Minneapolis, and San Francisco, as well as college towns such as Urbana-​Champaign, Illinois, and Bloomington, Indiana. In 2015 we began operations in Austin under the management of Mo Murthi, a chemical engineer with degrees from Berkeley and Northwestern, who has tutored for MyGuru since 2011.

Mo M.

Manager

Mo has been tutoring with MyGuru since 2011, and has helped high-​school, undergraduate, and graduate students with a variety of math, science, and engineering courses as well as preparation for standardized tests. In 2014 he accepted a position as a Managing Tutor, helping MyGuru build its team of tutors in Austin, TX.

Mo studied chemical engineering, obtaining his BS from the University of California at Berkeley and his MS and PhD from Northwestern University. After his PhD he worked as a researcher at a trading firm in Chicago.

Since then he has been interested in sustainable rural development, volunteering on projects with Engineers Without Borders and other organizations in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico. He was recently awarded a prestigious Fulbright fellowship to conduct research on Stirling engines as a means of generating electricity from heat.

In his free time he enjoys Zen meditation, martial arts, travel, hiking, scuba, and freediving.
