Education funding
Using an ESA, scholarship, or charter-school allotment?
SO Smart Tutoring works with multiple education funding and charter programs. Provider participation and covered services vary, so confirm your program and student award before registering.
Before you enroll
Send your program name, approved service type, and award year so participation can be confirmed. A logo on a list is not the same thing as an approved purchase. Bureaucracy loves paperwork—let’s respect its little hobby.
Confirm Your Funding ProgramMeet the educator
Hi, I’m Shanetta Oliver.
I’m an experienced educator with more than 15 years of classroom and tutoring experience. I have taught elementary and middle-school students across reading, writing, mathematics, and social studies, and I bring structured-literacy training and practical teaching experience to every lesson.
My goal is simple: help children become stronger readers and writers while giving parents honest, useful guidance. No educational alphabet soup just to sound impressive. If I use a term, I’ll explain what it means and why it matters.
