Tutors for Schools,” said Kirsten Feil, Executive Director of
Teaching & Learning at FirstLine Schools. “This platform can be
a resource in those moments when students need assistance but
cannot get one-on-one time with their teacher, or when they’re
looking for additional study materials that will help them succeed
academically. We’re excited to be able to offer the Varsity Tutors
for Schools platform, and we encourage students to take advantage
of all that it provides for them.”
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 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.”
The Varsity Tutors for School platform is available to FirstLine
Schools students and families immediately through June 2030.
