How do I know what to work on with my student?
We don’t have a set curriculum at Learn To Be. This means that we rely on you, the student, and the parent/guardian to figure out what the student needs the most help with. This is a very independent and flexible process.
We recommend starting by talking with your student and/or their parent/guardian to better understand:
- what subjects or topics they are struggling with
- upcoming assignments or tests
- long-term academic goals
- confidence gaps or learning habits
Some quick Googling can also help you find PDFs, worksheets, games, or activities that you can upload directly into the virtual classroom and work through together during sessions.
Learning Hub + Courses
You can also find many helpful resources directly through your Learn To Be tutor account.
To access these resources:
- Log into your tutor account
- Click "Courses" under the "Learning" section on the left side of the homepage
There, you’ll find sections such as:
- Learning Hub
- Courses
- Learning History
- Math
- Graphing Calculator
- IXL
- Reading
- Stories
- Epic Books For Reading
- Tutoring Resources

Many tutors use these lessons, tools, and activities to help structure tutoring sessions, especially for foundational Math and Reading support.
For Math-focused tutoring specifically, many tutors find it helpful to begin sessions with consistent Math Facts practice or foundational fluency work, even just for 20–30 minutes as a warm-up before moving into homework or new concepts.
Using IXL
Knowing where to start can sometimes feel difficult, but IXL is a helpful tool that can be used to better understand where your student is academically in Math, Writing, or Reading. IXL offers activities and curriculum support for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Learn To Be has a limited number of free IXL licenses available for students in Math and Reading. These accounts are personalized for each student, allowing them to complete diagnostic assessments and receive recommendations adjusted to their level.
Tutors will also receive a connected tutor account tied to their student’s progress.
