Perfect for homeschool, after-school help, targeted remediation or summer use

We all want our children to perform their best on their school work, but sometimes our children get bored with regular text books. SmartTutor.com offers fun, online Reading and Math lessons that are engaging for today’s learners. All of our lessons have a full tutorial, practice activity and graded activity… and once your child has completed a full lesson, they automatically move on to another lesson with a different theme!

Engaging supplemental curriculum

Children stay engaged in our online program because they never know what’s coming up next. It could be a game to reward their efforts, maybe learning how to rhyme with other kids in our classroom, or visiting a park with our character Yetibu. To learn more about how SmartTutor.com works go to our Curriculum page.

Interactive lessons for today’s learners

Whether they’re clicking on the door to get into the space ship, typing in their thoughts, or counting rabbit holes, your children are interacting with our characters all the time. We know that children learn better with real world examples and interactivity; so that’s just what we’ve provided for you and your children. For more information about our curriculum, check out our Sample Lessons.

Individualized instruction for your child

Our Reading and Math curriculum is individualized just for your child. That’s because we know if your child is in third grade that doesn’t mean he’s at the same level as other third grade children. So how do we provide individualized instruction over the internet? When your child first logs in to SmartTutor.com they are prompted to take an evaluation. The evaluation is strictly question-based so we can determine where your child’s skills lay. After the evaluation, you can pull reports to see how your child is performing, and they are taken on a learning adventure to fill in their learning gaps, help them maintain their current grades, or help them get ahead.

Multiple learning styles so every child can learn with their strengths

As you may know, not all children learn the same way; but all children need to learn. So SmartTutor.com makes sure to cover multiple learning styles so every child can feel successful. For kinesthetic learners who need to move, touch and experience things, they interact with our program through the mouse, keyboard and virtual manipulatives. We also use high-end, colorful and engaging graphics through our flash technology to provide visual stimulation for those visual learners. And last but not least, we work with auditory learners as well. Auditory learners use speech and sounds that are incorporated into each aspect of our program.

Success for your child!

Students feel successful with SmartTutor.com because they can never ‘get stuck’ in the program and do not visibly fail. Our program will move your child along their individualized path automatically. You and/or your child don’t have to worry about missing or skipping an important lesson… SmartTutor.com won’t let you! Also if your child scores below a 70% they will be prompted to re-take the lesson. We understand that if a child doesn’t understand concept A, they might not understand concept B, so we let your child review the tutorial a second time and then take a new quiz (so they can’t memorize the answers). SmartTutor.com will bookmark your child’s place in the program every time he/she logs off; however, we do recommend waiting until your child sees a crossing guard that says STOP or GO before closing the program.
