Technology
Jamboree tutoring sessions run on the K12worX learning platform: ready-made lessons, and three tools built for one-on-one tutoring.
Lessons
Something to teach from
Tutors do not have to build their own material.
The platform publishes lesson slides and practice exercises for every Common Core math standard from Grade 4 through high school. Kindergarten to Grade 3 is in development.
- Organized by grade and standard, so a tutor can go straight to the topic
- Practice exercises alongside each lesson
- Free to read, with no account needed
Skills Check
See where a student stands
A tutor can run a Skills Check in the very first session, with the student sitting beside them, and run it again later to see what has changed.
- Works on day one: no student account, invitation, or setup
- Results organized by misconception, not by score
- Shows what the student believes and what to teach next
- A second run shows what moved, standard by standard
- Start from the student or the topic, pick a task set, and send
- Assign to more than one student in a single pass
- Grading happens automatically
- The tutor is notified when results come back
Homework
Practice between sessions
Tutors assign practice that grades itself, so they know how it went before they sit down with the student again.
Progress Report
Show that it is working
The tutor generates a report, reviews it, and sends a link to the parent or guardian.
- One link to open: no account and no app
- Covers the tutor's sessions with that student
- What was covered, what improved, and what comes next
- Nothing is sent until the tutor has reviewed it
How they fit together
A loop, not a checklist
Each tool works on its own. Used together, each one feeds the next.
- 1
Check
A Skills Check shows where the student stands.
- 2
Teach
The tutor teaches from the lesson for that standard.
- 3
Practice
Homework is assigned and grades itself.
- 4
Report
A progress report goes to the parent or guardian.
- 5
Check again
A second Skills Check shows what has moved.

The technology serves the tutoring model, not the other way round.
