The Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA) program launches for the 2026–27 school year with a $1 billion budget and an estimated 90,000 students in year one. Families can use TEFA funds to pay for approved educational expenses, including personalized online tutoring. Learner is an approved tutoring provider for the TEFA program, making it easy for Texas families to put their education funds toward 1:1 academic support.
TEFA funds can cover personalized tutoring in core academic subjects and test preparation. Learner provides online tutoring in math, English and language arts, science, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, and state assessments), giving Texas families a flexible way to use their education funds for targeted academic support. TEFA is administered by the Texas Comptroller’s office rather than the Texas Education Agency, reflecting the program’s fiscal focus.
The Texas Education Freedom Accounts program provides three funding tiers: up to $10,500 per year for private school students, up to $30,000 for students with special needs, and approximately $2,000 for homeschool students. Tutoring is an approved use across all tiers, and payments are processed through the ClassWallet platform. The TEFA application window for the 2026–27 school year runs from February 4 through March 17, 2026.
As the largest new ESA program in the country, TEFA gives Texas families significant purchasing power for educational services. Learner helps families maximize that investment with personalized 1:1 online tutoring, rigorous tutor vetting, customized learning plans, and consistent progress tracking. Whether your child is using the private school tier, the homeschool allocation, or the special needs award, Learner’s flexible scheduling makes it easy to fit tutoring into any learning environment.
