Use ESA Funds for 1:1 Tutoring
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.
The Literacy Keys is an approved vendor in several states.
