10 Best Tutoring Towns

There has long been a strong correlation alcohol consumption and academic performance -- strongly negative. But with a little help from awesome tutors and Turbo140.com, now you can have your booze and drink it too. We've made it easy for people anywhere in the country to find amazing tutors - from finance to Chinese. Just this weekend there was a student from Arizona State University (also known to be a party-friendly school) looking for a Spanish tutor.

The Turbo140 Team is excited to launch our new tutoring pages, designed to make it hangover-proof to post your local tutoring needs and find the best tutors in your city or on your campus. After reading a story in The Huffington Post about party schools, it was clear where tutors would be in greatest demand. Below are the Top 10 schools most likely to need tutors. If you're still in high school or perhaps chose a different academic path, please leave a comment, email sprocket@turbo140.com, or send a tweet to @turbo140 with your city of choice and we'll get right on it (i.e. in less than 140 seconds)!

8 Best Dog Walking Cities

Labor Day has come and gone...which inevitably means a busy autumn is in store.  Whether you are looking to give work or find work, Turbo140 is the transparent and trustworthy site for gigs of all shapes and sizes, from cleaning jobs to our newest featured category -- Dog Walking Gigs!  What better way for students and enterprising individuals to makes some extra money?! And what better way to free up some time in the busy life of a parent or student?!


The Turbo140 Team is excited to launch our new dog walking pages, designed to make it super easy to post your local dog walking needs and find the best dog walkers in your city.  In so doing, we've thought about a few of the best dog walking cities in the US!  If you don't see your city here or have a suggestion for another locale, please leave a comment, email sprocket@turbo140.com, or send a tweet to @turbo140 with your city of choice and we'll get right on it (i.e. in less than 140 seconds)!





#8: Seattle With about 38 days of rain per month -- on average ;) -- why not outsource your dog walking duties to a dog-loving professional?


#7: Austin From the University of Texas campus to beautiful hill country, so many amazing places to take the pooch for a walk in Austin.  Your best friend will love it, even if you're stuck in the office.



#6: Boston Between tailgating at Gillette Stadium to a Patriot's post-game party, that's a long time for Sparky to be left alone, so we've made it simple for you to find the best dog walkers in Boston at a moment's notice.


#5: Phoenix It's anyone's guess (much less Al Gore's) as to when Phoenix temperatures will drop below 100 degrees.  Give your dog some exercise while you stay cool with a certified dog walker (who will surely bring some water).


#4: Los-Angeles In the land of movie stars and a median dog weight of less than 10 pounds, there's still a bunch of "real" dogs who love a good walk.  You may not have time to take your dog on walk up Runyon Canyon, but you can find someone who can!


#3: New-York This city may never sleep, but that leaves even less time for busy dog owners in to find their way home to take their puppy for a quick stroll through Central Park.  Especially if you're building doesn't have a friendly door man that can help you out in a bind, Turbo140 can get you the best dog walker in just three clicks.


#2: Chicago Who doesn't love Chicago, and a walk along the lake sounds amazing -- especially if you've got four legs!  Plus, Google says this is the most active dog walking city in the United States!


#1: San Francisco With hills, ocean, and a ton of dog parks in between, it's no wonder that the City by Bay comes in at #1.
