Many families use an education savings account (ESA) or state scholarship to cover Learner tutoring. Learner is an approved tutoring provider in 20+ states, including these:
It often starts with a surprise: a straight-A student brings home a C, homework turns into a nightly fight, or the math is past what you can help with. Learner is built to stop the struggle with math, with one expert tutor who knows your student.
We hire only 3% of the tutors who apply, and every one has passed a live teaching test.
An Academic Advisor gets to know your student: their classes, goals, learning style and personality. Our Success Management Team then matches them with the tutor whose experience, teaching style and personality fit best.
Your tutor customizes every session to your student's class, pace and the way they learn, and works on confidence as well as grades.
Sessions are recorded so your student can rewatch them, and you get regular updates on progress after every session.
Grade or level, course, upcoming tests, what's been hard, and a little about your student's personality.
They learn how your student learns and what makes them tick, then build a plan, including what it costs, before you commit to anything. We match on personality as well as grade and course, because students do their best work with a tutor they connect with.
Your first session can be within 48 hours of being matched, and it's commitment-free. If the fit isn't right, we switch tutors for free.
Live 1-on-1 sessions on an interactive whiteboard where students can upload homework and practice tests.
Hundreds of hours of online tutoring before they can apply.
They walk us through how they've changed a real student's results.
They record themselves solving math problems for our team to review.
Our interviewer plays a student who doesn't get it. The tutor has to explain it several different ways, because no two students learn the same way.

Learner hires about 3% of the tutors who apply. Each one needs hundreds of hours of online tutoring experience, then passes an interview about how they've helped students, a recorded video solving math problems, and a live teaching test where our interviewer plays a student who doesn't get it and the tutor has to explain the problem several different ways.
You answer a few questions online, then talk with an Academic Advisor about your student's classes, goals, learning style and personality. Our Success Management Team uses that profile to match your student with the tutor whose experience, teaching style and personality fit best. Once you're matched, the first session can be scheduled within 48 hours.
Yes. Your first session is covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your student and their first tutor aren't the right fit, we'll match them with a new tutor for free.
If your student doesn't click with their tutor, we match them with a new tutor at no extra charge.
Your Academic Advisor builds a plan around your student's grade, course, goals and how many sessions they need, and walks you through the cost before you start. Plans with more sessions cost less per session. In many states you can also pay with education savings account (ESA) or state scholarship funds. See state funding options.
Yes. Learner tutors college math, including calculus, statistics, linear algebra and probability, and adults returning to math for work, exams or their own goals.
What matters most is 1-on-1 attention from the same tutor every week. Research going back to Benjamin Bloom's 1984 study found that students tutored one-on-one performed about two standard deviations better than students taught in a conventional class. Learner sessions are live, on an interactive whiteboard, and recorded so students can review them before homework or tests.
You get regular updates on your student's progress after every session.
