Birdville Independent School District Announces Partnership with Varsity Tutors for Schools to Provide Live and On-Demand Learni

HALTOM, Texas & ST. LOUIS , May 06 /Businesswire/ - Birdville Independent School District today announced a exciting partnership with Varsity Tutors for Schools, a Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) company and the leading platform for live online tutoring, to provide all district students with access to the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform at no cost to the district, students or families. The partnership extends from now until June 30, 2030, ensuring students, educators and parents have a rich set of powerful resources for school years to come.

The comprehensive platform integrates interactive study tools, collaborative workspaces, and dynamic learning resources, including:

“Access to the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform can be an invaluable resource in those moments when students need assistance, but cannot get one-on-one time with their teacher,” said Jennifer Miller, Director of Intervention Services at Birdville ISD. “We encourage students to take advantage of access to live human tutors, as well as a wide library of live and on-demand classes to support the subjects they are studying or the passions they are pursuing.”

Over 500 school districts across the country utilize the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform to supplement classroom learning and to effectively close learning gaps. When students need help with homework or are struggling to solve a problem, they can immediately chat with a tutor, 24/7, to get the help they need. Students can take practice tests and follow personal lesson plans for guided self-study. They can also sign up for expert-led live classes, and learn subjects like Geometry, Middle School Math, Elementary School Reading and more, alongside their peers.

“Varsity Tutors for Schools delivers a rich set of learning options to deploy for all students,” said Anthony Salcito, Chief Institutional Officer at Varsity Tutors for Schools. “Our comprehensive platform access is now available to all K-12 schools at no cost, allowing them to budget for targeted intervention with best-in-class high-dosage tutoring options, including flexible implementation models that can put administrative staff, teachers, or parents at the center of the high-dosage tutoring relationship, depending on the needs of the district.”

Birdville ISD students can access the Varsity Tutors for School platform through the Classlink portal available on their Chromebook: https://launchpad.classlink.com/bisdtx. The platform is available immediately through June 2030.
