Florida Tutoring Advantage
Florida Tutoring Advantage recently announced its list of partner school districts and tutoring vendors for the 2025-2026 academic year.
Twenty-four tutoring vendors are partnering with 50 school districts across Florida to provide a combination of partner provided in-person and virtual tutoring and automated learning support software in reading and mathematics for kindergarten through 5th grade students.
In addition to high-impact tutoring services, Florida Tutoring Advantage has also continued its partnership with Khan Academy to provide more than 300,000 Khanmigo licenses to 6th through 12th grade students. Through Khanmigo, students receive personalized learning, real-time academic support, adaptive feedback and interactive learning experiences. The Khanmigo licenses also provide teachers with lesson planning and other instructional tools to help save time and differentiate their lessons to meet the needs of their students.
We’re deeply grateful to our district and vendor partners for coming together with a shared purpose: to ensure Florida students have access to the personalized support they need to thrive. Together, we’re turning opportunity into impact for learners across the state.

Assistant Director, Florida Tutoring Advantage
“We’re deeply grateful to our district and vendor partners for coming together with a shared purpose: to ensure Florida students have access to the personalized support they need to thrive. Together, we’re turning opportunity into impact for learners across the state,” said Jennie Wise, Ed.S., assistant director of the Florida Tutoring Advantage at the UF Lastinger Center.
Established by House Bill 1361 (2024), the Florida Tutoring Advantage aims to improve outcomes for Florida students in reading and mathematics by leveraging the power of evidence-based, high-impact tutoring. During the spring 2025 pilot, 13 vendor partners provided tutoring services across 17 school districts. Services were provided in 3 modalities: partner provided in-person and virtual tutoring, and automated learning support software.
The pilot showed promising preliminary results: enrolled K–5 students demonstrated, on average, 11% more growth in mathematics and 10% more growth in reading compared to eligible peers who did not participate.
“The pilot’s outcomes are incredibly encouraging. Not only because of the academic growth we observed, but because they highlight what’s possible when systems align around student success,” said Shaunté Duggins, Ph.D., director of State Initiatives at the UF Lastinger Center. “The Florida Tutoring Advantage is showing that with the right partnerships and data-driven strategies, we can accelerate learning at scale.”
Participating districts and tutoring vendors are in the process of implementing their partnerships during the 2025-26 school year, including four district provided in-person tutoring programs.
