What We Do

Course Hero, a Learneo business, is an online learning platform with over 60 million course-specific study resources contributed by our community of students and educators, and produced by our team of educational content specialists in collaboration with subject experts.

You’ll find practice problems, study guides, videos, class notes, and step-by-step explanations for every subject you’re studying—from economics to literature, biology to history, accounting to psychology, and everything in between. Through Course Hero, you can quickly find what you need to learn deeply.

We work closely with educators to help support student learning and complement what’s happening in the classroom. We want to see more students walking up to the podium on graduation day, proud of what they’ve accomplished, and ready to build great lives for themselves. We aim to help them get there.

Why Work With Us

We foster a culture that promotes a healthy work-life balance and encourages wellbeing and personal development. Our employees are fans of our virtual-first work environment (bye bye commute), employee experience that extends beyond the office and holistic wellness, health, family planning and leave benefits.
