What we actually do
The hard part of tutoring is never the tutoring. It is the drive, the scheduling, the sixty-minute block that has to survive a sick day. An online tutor removes all of it: your child opens it at 7pm on a Tuesday and closes it twenty minutes later, and you get a note about what they actually did.

Start with the foundation
Ellis Abel AI sits on top of the Ellis Abel Learns books, not beside them. The books teach the three habits every math learner runs on — owning a mistake, staying calm inside frustration, and trying while afraid. The tutor teaches the math. Your child gets both, and you get a dashboard that tells you which one is actually the problem this week.

Questions Lafayette parents ask
- Do sessions have to be scheduled?
- No. There is no calendar. Your child works when they are ready, which for most families turns out to be right after dinner or right before bed.
- What do I see as the parent?
- A dashboard: what was practiced, what was mastered, what is still shaky, and how long they stayed with it. Time-on-task matters more than most parents are told.
- Does my child need a printer or textbook?
- No. Everything runs in the browser on a laptop, tablet or phone.
