Goal

The Covenant School implemented Tutero Schools as part of its mission to create a more dynamic, inclusive, and creative approach to mathematics — especially for middle school students.

How Tutero Supports Math Teachers

The Challenge

With a broad range of math abilities across classrooms, teachers at The Covenant School faced a familiar challenge: how to meet every student where they are without spending hours creating individual lesson plans. Traditional materials often felt flat, and student engagement was inconsistent — particularly when lessons felt disconnected from real life.

A Creative Approach to Math

Tutero Schools introduced a refreshing solution: math that was both contextual and customizable. Instead of static worksheets, teachers could build entire lessons around themes and stories that students could relate to — like detectives solving mysteries or basketball games filled with stats.

In one lesson, students tackled a scenario where a detective solved a different number of cases each month — then worked out the average. The lesson blended numeracy with curiosity and storytelling.

That kind of contextual learning helped make abstract concepts concrete — and much more memorable.

Right now we've got a broad range of abilities in math at our school — and it's very labor intensive to create individual lessons for individual kids.

It gives students an opportunity to look at something unique, something creative… a platform where you could pick a theme and see how math is applicable to the real world.

Engaged Classrooms, Real Results

Beyond the creativity, what stood out was the student engagement. Teachers reported a visible shift in the way students approached problem-solving — using their imagination, asking better questions, and even enjoying the challenge.

Even better, the materials were easy to use and adapt. For teachers, that meant less time spent planning, and more time focused on actual teaching and interaction.

Leadership Perspective

From a leadership point of view, Tutero Schools offered exactly what The Covenant School needed: a way to differentiate instruction at scale. By integrating student interests — like basketball — directly into lessons, the platform gave educators tools to reach learners where they’re most comfortable and curious.

These small touches had a big impact — turning dry math questions into something students actually wanted to engage with.

Tutero Schools has become an essential part of how we teach maths at The Covenant School. It’s reduced our workload, improved student engagement, and given us a smarter way to differentiate — without the extra prep.
