About

Secondesk is a powerful, AI voice tutoring platform that provides 24/7 academic support to college students through natural, human-like conversation in 26 languages.

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Every night, thousands of students hit a wall. The exam is tomorrow. The tutoring center closed hours ago. The textbook doesn't make sense. For students who work, have families, or simply study best at night, traditional academic support systems fail them.

40% of college students work at least 30 hours per week. 22% are parents. Over a million international students navigate coursework in their second language. These students don't struggle because they're less capable—they struggle because support systems weren't built for their lives.

OUR SOLUTION

Secondesk offers short AI voice tutoring sessions designed to do one thing: get students unstuck and back to work.

Unlike chatbots, Secondesk sounds human - warm, patient, and conversational. Students call or connect anytime and immediately reach an AI tutor that:

- Speaks 26 languages (because concepts click better in your native tongue)
- Uses the Socratic method (guiding students to answers through questions)
- Covers any subject (calculus to chemistry, thesis statements to test prep)
- Never judges, never tires, never closes (available 24/7/365)

THE FOUNDER STORY

Kristy Schoenberg founded Secondesk because she lived the problem. In the early 2000s, she was a college student, mother of two, and full-time worker who needed to pass calculus. By midnight, when she finally had time to study, there was no one to call. She dropped out.

Two decades later, after building a successful corporate career and being inducted into Marquis Who's Who, she built the solution she wished had existed.

"I didn't fail because I wasn't smart enough," Schoenberg says. "I failed because the system wasn't built for people like me. Every student deserves someone in their corner at midnight. Now they have one."

FOR UNIVERSITIES

Secondesk partners with universities to extend campus tutoring services to the hours staff can't cover and the students who can't make it to campus. The platform helps institutions improve student outcomes, increase retention, and support diverse student populations at scale.
