They’re a testament to the hard work, passion, and innovation that fuel everything we do here at Nerdy and Varsity Tutors, a Nerdy Company. But it's not just about a 'ranking,' it's about the 'why' behind what we do.

Yesterday, The White House signed an Executive Order making AI literacy a K-12 priority—funding teacher training, launching a Presidential AI Challenge, and setting a clear directive for schools to embrace AI. Why it matters: ➤ Students who use AI today will drive tomorrow’s breakthroughs. ➤ Teachers need back the hours spent on paperwork so they can focus on instruction. ➤ Districts now have both a federal mandate and grassroots momentum to integrate AI at scale. At Varsity Tutors, a Nerdy Company, we’ve been building for this moment. Our Live + AI platform (https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eZgE93Vw) blends world-class live tutoring and intervention with the power of AI. Central to our philosophy is the belief that AI should augment, not replace, human interaction in education. By seamlessly integrating human expertise with artificial intelligence, we’re creating a new paradigm for personalized learning that accelerates student achievement while preserving the irreplaceable value of human connection. Our next-generation platform for AI-enhanced tutoring and intervention is a testament to this commitment. Check it out: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eZgE93Vw! By embedding AI tools directly into the learning experience, we’re giving students hands-on exposure to this transformative technology. This approach not only enhances their current studies but also equips them with the AI literacy that will be essential for their future success. We’re particularly excited about the potential to support initiatives like the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge, providing the platforms and resources that can help students and educators showcase their AI achievements and drive innovation in the classroom. As we stand at this inflection point, the possibilities are boundless. At Varsity Tutors, we’re committed to partnering with educators and school districts to turn this vision into reality, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to excel in an AI-driven future. I’m incredibly proud of the work our team is doing to pioneer this new frontier in education. If you’re an educator or school leader interested in exploring how AI can enhance learning in your district, I’d love to connect and discuss how we can work together to prepare students for the future. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/ehVjhCWw Varsity Tutors, a Nerdy Company Nerdy Rian Schilligo Mark DeFranco Jesse Slusher Anthony Salcito Jason Botel Stuart Udell Andrés Franklin Mallory Dubus Julian Merschen Jason H.
