Program Overview

Mission

Pearl is an enterprise software platform solving the tutoring industry’s major problem of data collection and reporting. We are a team of mission-focused educators who license our platform to state education agencies and private tutoring companies to launch, scale and report the efficacy of hybrid tutoring programs. Our fully integrated classroom, administrative tools and insights portal allow education organizations and grant-based institutions to seamlessly operationalize programs aimed at improving student learning outcomes.

Program Description

Pearl's platform provides a digital campus experience to Admins, Instructors, Students and Parents. Their virtual classroom and integrated administrative tools provide a secure, all-in-one place to host and manage hybrid learning programs. The platform also provides clients the ability to collect and report data associated with all learning session types for attendance and assessment tracking purposes.
