LTB 2.0
the pivot
40% of 9 year olds can't read or do math.
LTB 1.0
2008 – 2025
any kid. any subject. any grade.
we paired tutors with students and hoped for the best.
430K
hours of free tutoring delivered
we'll hit 500K hours this year.
but we had no idea if it actually worked.
no curriculum. no measurement. no accountability.
every tutor-student pair was a black box.
brain rot tutoring.
lots of edutainment, not enough education.
can this kid read?
can this kid do basic math?
if not, that's the only thing that matters.
LTB 2.0
2025 →
math. reading. writing.
K–9. that's it. go deep, not wide.
structured programming.
kids sign up for a subject. we guide them as far as they can go.
IXL pilot: we think it worked.

so why not just use IXL?
~$500K

no API
enrolling a few hundred kids was a pain.
no more brain rot tutoring.
every hour backed by learning science. calm, structured, and focused on reading and math.
