Penji

Hello to the person who has developed or created the Penji app, first off. I want to start off this review by saying that this app has always been great to use and also helpful and really fast enough for me to use so that I can be able to connect with the tutors for my community college faster to receive tutoring services so that I can get help with homework assignments and such, but however, recently there has been a problem and multiple people, and almost everyone on campus has been reporting the same type of issue that Penji has been having in terms of glitches. I joined my astronomy tutors waitlist room so that she can post the Zoom meeting so that she can help me and it show that she wasn’t available in the waitlist even though I logged on and Penji said that the waitlist room was open at 6:30 PM and she said that she logged on at 6:30 PM but Penji shows that no tutors have signed on. Please fix this issue with it saying that there are no tutors available even though someone was available the whole time and please fix the issues with the messaging delays with the chat and also please add a future where you can call or leave a voice message for someone in the app as well even on the desktop version.

I first encountered Penji last semester, and since I was struggling in my physics class, I decided to give it a shot. Boy am I glad that I did. I was immediately matched with an awesome tutor who helped me throughout the semester. The fact that the tutor is a student who took the class I was in at the same school made all the difference. Getting help from professors or TAs often isn’t really that effective for me, because they learned the materials for themselves so long ago that they can’t relate to what I was going through. Penji’s tutors remember the struggle, and are able to relate to you and share all the tricks that they figured out for themselves to gain a better understanding. That, combined with the fact that Penji is by for the most affordable private tutoring option around is more than enough to warrant five stars in my book!

I am first and foremost a tutor for Penji and I love it. It connects me with students in all disciplines and allows me a great environment to develop my teaching skills. I also find it an excellent way to brush up on material that may have fallen by the wayside. I have also been a student of Penji and found it an extremely useful resource for affordable private tutoring. The tutors have great attention to detail and are very good at explaining when needed or stepping back and letting me figure it out myself if they think it would be more beneficial. I am also very excited for the study groups feature!
