Use your Adaptive Tutor account. If you share a device, check that the correct profile is active before opening private work.
1. Get Started
Your dashboard points to the next useful action.
Choose what to do
Open tutoring, reading, assignments, or another tool from the dashboard and sidebar.
Continue where you stopped
Use recent work, due assignments, and saved reading progress instead of searching again.
2. Choose A Learning Map
Pick the curriculum and standards references that fit your goals.
Your state can be a starting point
If your profile has a supported state, Adaptive Tutor can suggest that state's standards library. It is only a suggestion.
You can choose any available option
Select another state's standards, Common Core Math and English language arts, or Adaptive Tutor's broad general curriculum.
You can change later
Open Settings, find Curriculum & Standards, choose a learning map, and save.
Your completed work stays with you
State choices use the same general learning path, so changing the state reference keeps your progress. Between the general and Common Core paths, a fully mastered shared skill can count in both. Detailed work stays saved in its original path, and partial work never becomes completed work in another path.
3. Ask For Help
Tell the tutor what kind of support would help.
Teach Me
Start with an explanation and guided practice when the topic is new.
Explain
Ask for a different explanation when the first one does not click.
Examples
See worked examples before trying a similar problem on your own.
Practice
Try a focused question and get feedback before moving to the next skill.
The tutor may use the title, subject, and notes connected to your current work. It does not need the complete text of a book to help with a reading assignment.
4. Skill Checks
Short questions help find the right next step.
An adaptive skill check asks one clear question at a time and revisits areas that need more practice. An incorrect answer is useful information—not a dead end. Read the feedback, try the next question, and ask for another explanation when needed.
5. Reading
Keep books, notes, and progress together.
Find a book or resource
Search by title, subject, level, or topic. Assigned reading appears with your other due work.
Save useful evidence
Record notes, a short summary, evidence from the text, confidence, and study time.
Return when ready
Saved progress helps you reopen the right book and section later.
6. Assignments
Due work and feedback stay with the assignment.
Open the assigned item
Use the assignment action to open the correct book, section, curriculum activity, or tutoring topic.
Check the requirements
Look for due dates, teacher notes, requested evidence, and any earlier feedback.
Revise when asked
If the teacher requests a revision, respond to the specific feedback and submit the improved work.
7. Learning Preferences
Adjust the experience to make learning more comfortable.
- Change text size, zoom, contrast, motion, and interface density.
- Use reduced language complexity or dyslexia-friendly text where available.
- Choose captions, voice input, or language support for activities that offer them.
- Ask a teacher, guardian, or accessibility support for help when a task is blocked.
8. Family And Homeschool Tools
Keep family-owned records alongside learning progress.
Portfolio workspace
Organize homeschool work, summaries, and evidence by school year.
Packets and snapshots
Review a current packet or create a year-end snapshot before sharing it with an evaluator or guardian.
Reminders and calendar
Keep due dates, reviews, and annual homeschool reminders in one family calendar.
State documentation aids: Reviewed packs are currently available for California, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. They organize source links, review dates, and reusable record templates. They are not legal advice, official forms, filing services, or guarantees of compliance; families must verify current requirements.
9. Practical Tips
Small habits make the tools more useful.
- Keep your learning level and map current so the tutor has a useful starting point.
- When you are unsure, try an answer and use the feedback.
- Ask for another explanation instead of repeating the same step without understanding it.
- For reading assignments, include specific evidence from the book.
- Respond directly to teacher revision feedback.
- Save homeschool evidence close to the day the learning happened.
