Student Debt and XYZ Textbooks

8/3/2016

At XYZ Textbooks we are doing our part to reduce student debt.  We save students money when they buy one of our textbooks, and we pay the students who work for us. Both of these things can reduce the debt students accumulate during college years.   If you compare the $68 price of one of our textbooks with the $180 or more that they would pay for a book from one of our competitors, then we saved students over $3,000,000 last year. It will be even more this year. And the students who create the video tutorials for us are paid a reasonable wage; they start at $12/hour and can go up to $18 per hour. In addition, many of these students are going on to careers in education, most of them as mathematics teachers, so working for us increases their ability to convey mathematics to the students they will eventually have. XYZ Textbooks is reducing student debt, and helping to prepare the next generation of mathematics teachers.
