If your family participates in an Education Savings Account (ESA) program, you may be able to use your funds for eligible tutoring support with The Literacy Keys.

 

What is an ESA Program?

An Education Savings Account (ESA) is a state-funded program that allows eligible families to use funds for approved learning expenses outside of a traditional public school setting.

According to your state’s ESA program, funds may be used for services such as:

  • Tutoring
  • Curriculum and instructional materials
  • Approved educational technology and related services

Each state has its own approved expense categories, and documentation requirements.  If you are enrolled in a program where The Literacy Keys is an approved ESA vendor, reach out and we can discuss using funds for 1:1 tutoring in reading, writing and spelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tutoring covered by ESA?

As an approved ESA provider we can help you with the process and provide documentation.  Final approval however, is determined by your state’s ESA program rules. 

Does my child need a diagnosis?

Your state’s ESA program may have eligibility requirements. Some programs are broad, while others are specific to students with disabilities or specific categories.

Do you help with the paperwork?

We can help with the provider side of the process which includes invoices. Parents are still responsible for registering with their state’s program, submitting information and following the program’s rules and deadlines.

Is tutoring online?

Yes.  We work with families virtually to tutor online, which makes it easier to support students across multiple states.

When are the sessions?

Tutoring sessions can be during the day for homeschool families or after school or others. Once you reach out we can discuss scheduling options.  

What are ClassWallet & Odyssey?

ClassWallet and Odyssey are third-party service providers for ESA programs. They store public education funds and issue reimbursements for approved payments.  Each state selects which service provider they use.
