  1. Good day,

    My name is Brandon and I work as a Community Outreach Associate at Chegg. You may not be aware of it, but Chegg acquired InstaEdu a little over a year ago. With the acquisition, we rebranded InstaEDU to Chegg Tutors – changing the name and URL in the process.

    I noticed that you have a post that links to InstaEdu. Would you be able to change it from InstaEDU to Chegg Tutors https://www.chegg.com/tutors/)? We are currently redirecting InstaEdu to Chegg, but it might be a bit confusing for your readers to land on a different site than they expected.

    We found links to InstaEdu on the following page(s):
    maybo275.blogspot.com/2012/05/instaedu-on-demand-video-tutoring-gets.html

    For your convenience, I’ve put an example of the replacement code for you to use (or something similar):
    InstaEDU (Now Chegg Tutors)

    Please let me know if you have any questions about Chegg.

    Best,
    Brandon Harvey
