“Varsity Tutors for Schools, which is an approved vendor from the Ohio Department of Education, caught our attention as something that would be a help for our families who are looking for some homework help with their students,” said Amy Cruse, Parma City Schools Executive Director Of Curriculum and Instruction. “This is also for students who maybe don’t want to just do mindless scrolling. They can go onto a site that’s been vetted and can provide them with some learning experiences -- not just perhaps TikTok or Instagram. It’s something where it’s a little bit more of a safer platform for students to explore.”
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 and opens a gateway 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.”
Families of Parma City Schools can access the Varsity Tutors for School platform by visiting their students' CLEVER accounts.
