Emma was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia when she was young, and more recently with ADHD. Her mom, Jill, chose Tutero because she read that we were equipped to support children with ADHD. Emma works with the same teacher, Lori, every week. Over time they have built a real bond: with Lori, Emma is focused, gets the encouragement she needs, and never asks to skip a lesson. Lori is part of Emma’s week, not a quick fix, and Jill sees the results.
“She really likes Lori, they’ve formed a bond.”
Jill, Emma’s mom
“She never says she doesn’t want tutoring, she always wants to.”
Jill, May 2026
Jill, mom of Emma · FloridaOur Florida team includes a former special education teacher and case manager of 14 years and a former school principal. They walk you through EMA, match your child with the right teacher and check in every term. Here they are at Step Up for Students’ conference in Orlando.

Live 1-on-1 lessonsIf it is UA or PEP, yes. Families on UA or PEP pay $0 out of pocket, with nothing to pay upfront. Not sure which scholarship your child has? It is shown at the top of their EMA account.
Their teacher gets to know them. One hour, 1-on-1, working on what your child is learning right now. The teacher sees what is solid and where the gaps are, with any IEP goals in mind. Afterwards you get a written report and a plan in the parent app.
No. You tell us once. Share the IEP on your first call and its goals and accommodations go into the plan before lesson one. Your child keeps the same teacher every week, so nobody has to start over.
Straight answers from 310,000+ lessons.
Live 1-on-1 lessonsUsually a gap, not ability. Most subjects build on themselves: a gap in fractions in 5th grade becomes an algebra problem in 8th grade. Most students who say they hate a subject are missing two or three specific ideas. The first lesson finds them.
A diagnosis, then a plan. One hour, 1-on-1, working through what your child is learning right now. The tutor watches how they approach a problem and maps what is solid and what is not. Afterwards a written report and a plan land in the parent app.
Confidence first, grades next. Most parents see confidence change first, then grades at the next test or report card. One lesson a week through the semester, with a check-in from your account manager.

¿Qué es la beca PEP en Florida?
El Programa de Educación Personalizada (PEP) es una beca de Step Up for Students para estudiantes de Florida de Kindergarten a grado 12 que no están inscritos a tiempo completo en una escuela pública o privada. Funciona como una cuenta de ahorros para educación que dirigen los padres, y paga tutoría, currículo, materiales, tecnología y cursos en línea. No tiene límite de ingresos.
¿Quién califica para la beca PEP?
Residentes de Florida de Kindergarten a grado 12 que tengan al menos 5 años al 1 de septiembre, menos de 21 y que no estén inscritos a tiempo completo en una escuela pública o privada. Los ingresos no afectan la elegibilidad. Las escuelas chárter, los programas magnet y Florida Virtual School a tiempo completo cuentan como escuela pública, así que esos estudiantes no califican.
¿Cuánto vale la beca PEP en 2026-27?
Los montos de PEP para 2026-27 van de US$7,463 a US$12,217, según el distrito escolar y el grado de tu hijo o hija. La mayoría de las familias recibe entre US$7,500 y US$9,000, con montos un poco más altos de Kindergarten a grado 3. El condado de Monroe tiene los montos más altos del estado.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre PEP y la beca de Habilidades Únicas?
PEP es para cualquier estudiante de Kindergarten a grado 12 que no esté inscrito a tiempo completo en una escuela, sin necesidad de diagnóstico. La beca de Habilidades Únicas (FES-UA) es para estudiantes de 3 a 22 años con una condición elegible o un IEP, tiene un promedio de unos US$10,000 al año y paga más a estudiantes con más necesidades de apoyo. Si tu hijo o hija tiene un diagnóstico elegible, FES-UA suele ser la mejor opción.
¿Hay maestros que hablen español?
Sí. Cuando solicitas tu primera clase, indícanos si prefieres un maestro o maestra que hable español con tu hijo o hija y lo asignamos desde el primer día. Esto es útil sobre todo en los primeros grados, cuando trabajamos lectura y vocabulario, y para familias que están aprendiendo el contenido académico junto con su hijo o hija.
¿Puedo usar la beca PEP para tutoría y currículo al mismo tiempo?
Sí. Los fondos de PEP se pueden repartir entre tutoría, currículo, materiales, tecnología y otras clases aprobadas en el mismo año. Muchas familias arman el presupuesto alrededor de clases semanales en una o dos materias y usan el resto para currículo y materiales. Las especialistas educativas de Tutero te ayudan a estimar el costo de las clases para que todo el año quepa dentro de tu beca.
Actualizado en octubre de 2026
Sí, la beca PEP puede pagar tutoría en línea. El Programa de Educación Personalizada (PEP) es la beca de Step Up For Students para estudiantes de Florida que se educan en casa. Puedes usarla para clases 1:1 en línea con Tutero: apruebas las clases en el EMA Marketplace, Step Up le paga a Tutero directamente y no pagas nada de tu bolsillo.
