About — OpenLiteracy

OpenLiteracy was founded with a mission to make it easier for educators to access everything they need to teach a child to read and write well.

We believe all students deserve access to world class literacy instruction. Our one-on-one literacy tutoring is a high quality and cost-effective way for schools and districts to provide a tutor to every student who needs one. Additionally, our comprehensive tutoring solution makes it possible for schools to implement a high quality cost-effective tutoring program at scale.
