Savvy Learning

Live Reading and Maths Tutoring for K–6

Savvy Learning is operated by Savvy Education, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its terms governed by the laws of Utah and exclusive venue in Salt Lake County; it previously traded as Savvy Reading. No street address, telephone number or named staff member appears anywhere on the site, and contact runs through a web form and the addresses [email protected] and [email protected]. The service covers reading and maths for kindergarten through sixth grade, and education savings account funds are accepted in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Wyoming.

Plans are $179 a month for the four-day group option, which places up to four students of similar level together Monday to Thursday, and $195, $295 or $395 a month for one-to-one private sessions at two, three or four days a week on any weekday. All plans are billed monthly until cancelled, with no contract, no cancellation fee and no charge to switch between group and private or to change the number of days. The first session is free with no credit card required, limited to one introductory session per household. Prepaid plans of 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months exist for education savings account families and do not auto-renew; their prices are not published.

Sessions run about 25 minutes and are delivered live rather than as recorded lessons, with placement set by the child's current skill level rather than age or grade. The reading curriculum is described as built on the Science of Reading including the research highlighted by the National Reading Panel, and on structured literacy in the Orton-Gillingham tradition; the maths curriculum cites research from the National Mathematics Advisory Panel and the What Works Clearinghouse. A laptop, computer or tablet with a camera, microphone and stable connection is all that is required, with no downloads. Parents are told they are welcome to listen in or sit close by, and many stay nearby for the first few sessions.

Savvy states that every tutor clears a background check before working with a student and that teaching experience and references are reviewed, and that tutors are trained to teach its lessons to K–6 learners. The checking provider, the scope of the check, any re-screening schedule, any minimum teaching qualification, and whether tutors are employees or contractors are not published. The privacy policy contains a COPPA section stating that the company does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, and that the child's name, birth date, grade level, parent's email, member name, password and information from recorded teaching sessions are collected. It also states that teaching sessions may be recorded including audio and visual information, and that personal information held in recordings of teaching sessions cannot be deleted. No independent certification such as kidSAFE or a COPPA safe harbour seal was identified. Subscriptions renew automatically each month at current rates until cancelled, and can be cancelled at any time through the parent dashboard or by email with no fee, with access continuing to the end of the billing period; plans can be paused from one week to six months with at least one day's notice. Subscription and prepaid fees are non-refundable, and sessions that are scheduled but missed are forfeited rather than refunded or rescheduled. The terms contain no arbitration clause and no class action waiver. Outcome claims on the site, including a stated beginning-of-year grade equivalent of 6.3 against prior growth of 0.2 points, carry no methodology, sample size or testing instrument, and no results-may-vary language accompanies the testimonials. Trustpilot shows 4.4 across 11 reviews on a profile claimed in March 2025, with none recorded in the past twelve months; no BBB profile was identified.
