TutorVista Selects uBoost to Operate Their Student Recognition and Rewards Program

TutorVista will Launch its Rewards Program in July

Honolulu, HI (PRWEB) June 28, 2009 -- uBoost (www.uboost.com), the nation's premier Student Recognition and Rewards Program, announced its partnership with TutorVista. Launched in 2005, TutorVista offers personalized, one-on-one online tutoring and test-preparation services in the United States and United Kingdom for K-12, college and graduate level students in many subjects.

TutuorVista students will link directly to their rewards site (tutorvista.uboost.com) user interface. Students will be able to redeem their points for rewards which include iPods, DVDs, books, gift cards, virtual room items, and charitable giving opportunities.

"TutorVista's decision to implement a student performance recognition program will help them further engage their students and support their distance learning model," says John Bower, CEO of uBoost. "By outsourcing their recognition program, they can continue to streamline their operations and save on administrative costs associated with managing a rewards program in-house."
