Next-Gen Tutoring Platform Connects Human Intervention and Instruction with Always-On AI Support

Varsity Tutors, a Nerdy Inc. company (NYSE: NRDY), today introduced a suite of new Live+AI™ tools and capabilities that combine human tutoring with context-aware AI across the entire learning cycle. Designed to give teachers back valuable time, accelerate student proficiency, and provide administrators with actionable insights, Live+AI is already driving measurable outcomes in partner districts nationwide.

Live+AI™ is grounded in a simple truth: technology is most powerful when it amplifies, not replaces, the human bond at the center of learning. By uniting the insight, empathy, and adaptability of expert educators with the real-time precision and limitless scale of AI, Live+AI™ delivers truly personalized instruction — accelerating student growth while preserving the irreplaceable spark of human connection. The platform delivers a comprehensive suite of solutions for teachers, administrators and students, offering high-impact tutoring support, targeted intervention, and district-ready AI tools to assist educators and drive student success at scale.

The Live+AI™ platform combines Varsity Tutors’ nationally recognized high-dosage tutoring (HDT) with advanced context-aware AI tools. This dual approach ensures that every student benefits from human connection and accountability, while also gaining access to personalized, always-on AI support between sessions.

Early district adopters are already seeing results:

“Our students and teachers need additional support, and by enabling our school communities to work directly with tutors in this way, we’re ensuring that every student has the tools they need to succeed while offering teachers an unparalleled support system,” said Frederick Heid, Superintendent at Polk County Public Schools in Bartow, Florida.

New and Updated Live+AI™ features include:

For Teachers

• AI Teacher Tools: 40+ AI-powered teacher tools to reduce lesson planning and administrative workload by 7–10+ hours weekly, facilitating personalized instruction and enabling teachers to focus on high-impact teaching.

For Administrators

• Predictive Analytics Dashboards: Actionable insights aligned to MTSS, IEPs, pacing guides, and state standards via transparent dashboards.
• District-Wide Flexibility: Multiple program models (district-wide HDT, scoped cohorts, parent-assigned, or platform-wide licenses).
• Compliance & Equity: Built-in tools for IEP tracking, state pacing alignment, and intervention reporting.

For Students

• AI-Enhanced High-Dosage Tutoring (HDT): Consistent, research-based one-on-one and small-group instruction delivered by expert human tutors with AI tools at their fingertips, ensuring recurring and intensive support aligned with evidence-based practices. AI analyzes student skill levels, learning styles, and schedules to intelligently pair them with the ideal tutor, fostering strong relationships.
• 24/7 Academic Support: Instant live and AI-supported tutoring, essay reviews, and skill-building resources that seamlessly integrate into existing school workflows and educator practices, enhancing instructional effectiveness.
• Hundreds of Immersive Live Classes: Interactive, engaging, expert-led sessions ranging from math and literacy, SAT/ACT prep, college readiness, and enrichment opportunities like AI and coding languages.
• AI Session Insights & Video Playback: AI tools to provide educators and parents of learners with comprehensive summaries of learning progress and opportunities for follow-up instruction.

According to a June report released by the Gallup and Walton Family Foundation, 60% of US teachers used an AI tool during the 2024-25 school year. Weekly users reported saving nearly six hours per week, representing time reinvested into “more personalized instruction, deeper student feedback, and better parent communication.”

“With Live+AI™, we are delivering on our mission to transform intervention into impact,” said Chuck Cohn, Founder & CEO of Nerdy Inc. “By combining live tutors, AI-driven practice, and predictive analytics in one seamless platform, we’re helping schools double proficiency growth while reducing teacher workload.”
