How it works
Live small-group tutoring, taught to your curriculum
- ✓
Math & Reading, K-5 on your district pacing, aligned to Florida's B.E.S.T. standards.
- ✓
Diagnose → group by gap → teach → re-test → regroup, with a mini-quiz every session.
- ✓
Groups of up to four, one consistent teacher all term — never 1:1, never software.
- ✓
Live dashboards + mid/end reports, scored on the state's own FAST growth.
