About our pilot program

How Our Pilot Sessions Ran ⏰

In early 2026 we piloted a guided, tutor-led format with a partner organization. We are refining it based on what we learned, and no sessions are scheduled right now.

A one-hour session

  • 30 minFeatured tool. A tutor taught one tool while everyone followed along.
  • 25 minExploration. Each child picked any tool and explored, with the tutor on hand.
  • 5 minWrap-up. Families shared what they discovered.

What the pilot included

  • Tutor-led sessions, one featured tool per week
  • Access to all interactive math tools
  • Small group support (3-5 families)
  • Practice materials for home
  • Progress tracking tools
  • Bilingual support (English/Chinese)

This program was introduced with the generous assistance of Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN) during our preparation stages. There is no affiliation between FCSN and K12worX Education, and FCSN is not responsible for the content of this program.
