In August 2014, IAC's former subsidiary and Tutor.com's former parent Match Group bought test-preparation service The Princeton Review and combined it with its Tutor.com educational business. In March 2017, Match Group sold The Princeton Review, along with Tutor.com, to ST Unitas, a Korean education company. In January 2022, Primavera Capital Group acquired The Princeton Review and Tutor.com from ST Unitas. In March 2024, the Florida Department of Education warned districts against using Tutor.com due to its owner's alleged ties to Chinese nationals.
