How it works (step-by-step)
A proven system from diagnostic → mastery → confidence
1 Start with a Diagnostic (we don’t guess)
We identify what your child knows, what they’ve missed, and what they’re ready for next—then build a plan that fits.
2 We create a personalized daily learning path
Your child gets bite-sized, doable work each day—so your child works on the right skills in the right order in our Elevate Learning App - paced to build mastery without overwhelm.
3 Our AI Coach & Video Tutorials help instantly—right when your child needs it - removing frustrations
- When your child gets stuck, the AI Coach explains concepts, and recommends the right next step
- Built in video-tutorials show a sample solved problem and explain concepts - like a teacher would.
