hello happy people!<\/p>\n

magoosh had a productive beginning of the year. we launched an act product, redesigned www.catharsisit.com, and completed a massive re-recording project of all our math lesson videos.<\/p>\n

in student help, we spent our time preparing for the busy season, looking for ways to get answers to students before they ask them, and hiring to fill needs.<\/p>\n

but that’s not why you are here! you are here to learn all about magoosh’s student stoke!<\/p>\n

stoke\u2014by the numbers<\/h2>\n

we’ve done a swell job keeping our students happy over the course of the first 3 months of the year. can’t argue with these numbers. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"q1csat\"<\/p>\n

now let’s see what sits behind the numbers and look at what the students are actually saying.<\/p>\n

student stoke<\/h2>\n

if anything sums up what we strive for, it’s the sentiment in this tweet!<\/p>\n

\n

heaven is where support team of every company is like @magoosh<\/a> @magooshgre<\/a> #gre<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 majid azimi (@majidazimi) february 6, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

what does it take to reach support team heaven?<\/p>\n

a feeling of personal attention<\/h2>\n

anyone who knows customer support knows that there are two competing forces\u2014answering questions quickly and efficiently versus providing a personalized experience for each person.<\/p>\n

the first force pushes us towards fill-in-the-blank templates, articles on how to do something, and canned responses to common questions. the other force pushes us towards empathy\u2014looking at what someone wrote (what was implied but not explicitly stated) and crafting a personal, thoughtful response that only that person would need.<\/p>\n

the student help team strikes a balance between these two forces. we wish that we could have the staff and time to give each person a custom answer, but we aren’t that big\u2014yet!<\/p>\n

even though we struggle with this, it’s great to see that we are still able to stoke our students and provide them with a personal experience.<\/p>\n

our true passion is not test prep. it’s helping people achieve their dreams. we know everyone has incredible potential, and we want to help each one realize that potential.<\/p>\n

that’s why these types of responses from our students are so wonderful. they remind us that magoosh is a means towards a great end. we help build the bridge to someone’s future! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

we would not have gotten to this point if we couldn’t help students improve their score. it takes a lot of work from everyone at magoosh to make this happen\u2014content, product, marketing, and student help. if we can’t help students improve then we are not delivering on our promise of delivering high quality materials.<\/p>\n
