“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.

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.
