Britannica today is essentially a 247-year-old startup. If that sounds like a paradox, consider the transformation we’ve undergone in the past 20 years and what we’re doing today. We’ve not only made a successful transition from print publishing to purely digital products, but our portfolio has mushroomed way beyond encyclopedias and reference works—which we still have, by the way, online and for mobile devices—to include a range to classroom curriculum products, e-learning solutions, language-instruction programs, and others, all in digital form. We have a streamlined product-development process that operates on lean-startup principles. We are on the forefront of the revolution taking place in educational and classroom technologies, and we’re developing “responsive design” products that deliver value to teachers and students, are device agnostic, replace apps, and enable easier updates across all devices and one core product stream. At the same time, and just as important, we maintain the same high standards of editorial accuracy and reliability for which we’re been known for over 200 year.Bitannica is online, in e-books, and on mobile devices. Britannica is math, science, and social studies. Britannica is for the 2nd-grader learning math, the teacher explaining the laws of gravity, and the lifelong learner trying to understand the latest political crisis.We invite you to get to know us again.

With our blog and patent-pending study tools, we're striving to simplify the law school experience. We also want to help students find the best jobs for them. The LearnLeo Career Portal lets them research law firms and connect with the right employers.</p>
<p>EleMental Learning is an online tutor matching service founded by a former classroom educator. Our service is differentiated from that of other online tutoring providers in that we are <strong>highly selective</strong> about the tutors we include in our directory. Specifically, tutors must be actual state-certified teachers with real classroom experience. This ensures that our clients receive tutoring from somebody who not only knows the subject matter, but who actually knows <em>how to teach</em>. Compare this to other tutoring providers who use primarily lay people who are not trained educators as their tutors, which results in an inferior and unstructured tutoring lesson.</p><p>EleMental Learning began with a focus in Chicagoland and has now expanded to other major metro areas around the country. And while we are believers in charging what the market will bear in each metro area, our hourly tutoring rates are typically lower than those of other "supposedly elite" major tutoring providers who suffer from massive headcount bloat, schlocky advertising, and huge brick-and-mortar issues that do not burden us.</p><p>Visit us at http://www.elemental-learning.com</p>
