To date, Varsity Tutors has already provided
effective learning support services to over 12,000 students across
Michigan to combat learning loss.
To ensure every student has access to
additional support, Varsity Tutors will offer a free platform
resource separate from the 23g MI Kids Back on Track Grant Program
to all Michigan school districts from now through June 2027.
The Michigan Association of Intermediate School
Advisors (MAISA) on Friday announced Varsity Tutors for Schools, a
Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) company and the leading platform for high-impact
live online tutoring, was selected as a vetted provider for school
districts pursuing funding through the 23g MI Kids Back on Track
Grant Program.
Districts that use state grant funds administered by MAISA to
select Varsity Tutors as their vendor will have access to multiple
implementation models that enable school districts to implement
large-scale, best-in-class high-dosage tutoring that adhere to MI
Kids Back on Track objectives. This includes Varsity Tutors’
centrally administered tutoring via its District Assigned model,
which connects students with live, video-based high-dosage tutoring
sessions with a subject matter expert tutor and can accommodate up
to four students per session. School districts can receive more
information on the application process by indicating their intent
to apply for funding here.
“Varsity Tutors sets the gold standard when it comes to
high-dosage tutoring and learning support services—I have witnessed
the impact first hand. The learning advancement results students in
my district have achieved since we implemented Varsity Tutors are
undeniable,” said Steve Wolf, Assistant Superintendent of
Secondary Instruction for Oxford Community Schools. “Michigan
has made an excellent decision by selecting Varsity Tutors as a
vetted provider for 23g funding, and students across the state will
benefit from this wise choice.” To date, Varsity Tutors has already
provided effective learning support services to over 12,000
students across 50 districts in Michigan.
According to statewide standardized test results from this past
year, Michigan public schools students performed below pre-pandemic
levels in math and reading. However, high-dosage tutoring continues
to prove an effective tool in combating the learning gap. As noted
in a recent American Progress Report, “Studies continue to show the
prevalent benefits of high-dosage tutoring, increasing students'
learning by an additional three to 15 months across grade levels.”
The MI Kids Back on Track Grant funding is designed to support
programs that address unfinished learning, get students to grade
level academic standards, provide additional support to students at
risk of failing behind, or prepare for postsecondary education.
To ensure high-quality tutoring and learning support services
are accessible to students across the state, Varsity Tutors is also
working with the Michigan Association of Superintendents &
Administrators (MASA) to offer Michigan School districts free
access to its comprehensive learning platform between now and June
2027. Varsity Tutors’ free platform offering is complementary to
the District Assigned model, which will allow school districts to
invest more of their funding in high-dosage tutoring.
“Varsity Tutors is proud to be working with the Michigan
Department of Education, MAISA, and MASA to take real action to
ensure all Michigan students are equipped with the tools and
resources they need to not only recover, but thrive in and beyond
the classroom,” said Anthony Salcito, Chief Institution Business
Officer at Varsity Tutors for School.
