Nerdy Inc. Debuts Live + AI Platform to Transform Education with AI-Powered Tutoring
Nerdy Inc., parent to Varsity Tutors, has debuted Live + AI, a cutting-edge, AI-driven tutoring and intervention system that aims to drive learning and bridge achievement gaps. Live + AI™ combines human intelligence with AI capabilities, providing individualized, high-dosage tutoring and real-time feedback to assist students in growing academically while maintaining the vital human touch at the heart of education.
The platform offers an end-to-end suite of tools for districts and schools, with high-impact tutoring, targeted intervention, and AI-driven resources supporting both teachers and students. It is scalable, allowing school systems to enhance student success at a national scale.
Supporting AI Education Initiatives
The release of Live + AI comes on the heels of President Donald Trump signing the Executive Order 'Advancing Artificial Intelligence Education for American Youth' recently. The order focuses on incorporating AI into K-12 education with a particular emphasis on high-impact tutoring. The Executive Order calls on the use of AI-powered tutoring solutions to enhance educational performance nationwide.
Chuck Cohn, Founder & CEO of Nerdy Inc., said, “AI is transforming education, and its greatest impact comes when paired with the personal touch and accountability of skilled educators. Live + AI empowers both students and teachers by delivering personalized tutoring and streamlining educators’ workflows.”
High-Dosage Tutoring: A Proven Solution for Learning Gains
Decades of research have shown that high-dosage tutoring is one of the most effective ways to boost academic progress, adding the equivalent of three to 15 months of learning in a single year. Live + AI™ implements this proven strategy, combining AI-powered tutoring with personalized, expert-led instruction to enhance learning outcomes.
The platform supports educators by automating lesson prep, providing progress summaries, and offering individualized practice sessions, freeing up 7–10 hours per week for teachers. This not only helps accelerate student learning but also supports district priorities like improving student outcomes and staff retention.
Live + AI delivers personalized learning through expert-led, AI-enhanced tutoring. Students get 24/7 academic support, while educators benefit from real-time insights, reduced admin tasks, and targeted intervention tools.
