Shmoop was a term David Siminoff's Yiddish-speaking grandmother used for “moving something forward a bit.” The Siminoffs thought Shmoop was the perfect name for their efforts to give students a little push with keep-it-simple-stupid homework help.
Shmoop articles are authored by teachers (high school or college level), Ph. D. and master's students (e.g., Stanford, Harvard, and Yale). They base the articles on “credible academic sources” and then cite the source.

According to David Siminoff, the name "Shmoop" comes from a Yiddish word meaning "move something forward a little;" it was also his pet name for his young daughter Sophie. The resources proved popular, and the Siminoffs started Shmoop as a nonprofit.
Shmoop provides lively Learning Guides and Teaching Resources lovingly written by educators and doctorate students at top universities (primarily Stanford, Harvard, and UC Berkeley). Our guides have a deep, fun approach that hits students in the intellectual and cultural gut.
