Most virtual tutoring is just more time on a screen. OnYourMark is different: real tutors, trained in the actual science of reading, working with kids who are falling behind. In a study measuring its impact, first graders gained the equivalent of 51 extra days of reading instruction, with the biggest gains going to kids who started furthest behind. OnYourMark has already helped more than 11,000 students across 12 states, at a price any district can afford. Their tutoring has received the highest ESSA rating, Tier 1 Strong Evidence, for its proven impact on student learning.

Mindy Sjoblom, Founder and CEO, OnYourMark

Mindy spent 20 years building schools and training teachers, as a Teach For America teacher in Baltimore, a principal whose students posted record ACT scores, and the founding Dean who built Relay Chicago into one of the state's largest teacher training programs. Her experience, from the classroom to school leadership to training the next generation of teachers, gave her a rare, ground-level view of exactly what it takes to help a struggling reader catch up. 

When the pandemic hit, Mindy saw millions of kids falling behind in reading, with no way to catch up fast enough. So she put her experience to work and built one: OnYourMark trains tutors to deliver proven reading instruction at scale.
