A short, free first lesson pinpoints exactly which foundational skills — phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency or comprehension — need support, establishing a clear baseline.
We pair your child with a certified reading tutor and set a schedule tailored to your routine, from 1 to 4 lessons per week.
The tutor builds a custom curriculum aligned with U.S. state standards, focusing on decoding, vocabulary building, comprehension strategies, homework help or test preparation.
Your child reads interactive texts, practices close reading and receives real-time feedback during sessions that also cover current school assignments.
An AI Lesson Summary outlines key milestones after every session, with detailed reports tracking reading growth against grade-level benchmarks.
Our ELA curriculum combines the Science of Reading with proven instructional frameworks to help students move from early decoding to critical text analysis.
Number sense · Addition & subtraction · Multiplication & division · Fractions, shapes, measurement · Word problems for early learners
Students connect fundamentals to real-world problems: fractions become budgets, essays become arguments. Tutors close gaps early so confidence keeps up with the curriculum.
