Digital Ready has partnered with Varsity Tutors for Schools, an online tutoring platform under Nerdy, to provide students with free access to academic support resources throughout the school year.
The partnership will help students strengthen their understanding of academic subjects and prepare them for future college and career opportunities.
The Varsity Tutors for Schools platform offers a variety of tools, including 24/7 on-demand tutoring, live classes, and personalised learning plans. Through this partnership, students will have access to resources that supplement classroom learning and offer additional support for those struggling with specific subjects.
"Access to Varsity Tutors for Schools platform is an indispensable resource for our young people as they move along their college and career pathways," said Patrick Nugent, Manager of Student Success at Digital Ready.

The platform features several tools that can be accessed by students and schools, including:

The platform is currently used by more than 500 school districts across the United States. Students can work one-on-one with tutors, participate in small group sessions, or access high-dosage tutoring through the platform.
Digital Ready is a Boston-based organisation that focuses on providing high school students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed in STEM fields and other career paths.
“Varsity Tutors for Schools delivers a rich set of learning options to deploy for all students,” said Anthony Salcito, Chief Institutional Officer at Varsity Tutors for Schools. “Our comprehensive platform access is now available to all K-12 schools at no cost, allowing them to budget for targeted intervention with best-in-class high-dosage tutoring options, including flexible implementation models that can put administrative staff, teachers, or parents at the center of the high-dosage tutoring relationship, depending on the needs of the district.”
