Is Your Child Falling Behind in English?

English builds skill on skill, so when one piece doesn't fully click, the next one can feel harder than it should.

A child who never fully locked in early phonics may find spelling and vocabulary harder later on. A child who misses how to structure a paragraph may feel lost when essays are expected in middle school. Sometimes the gap isn't obvious right away, but it can start to affect confidence, homework, and grades over time.

That doesn't mean your child isn't capable. It usually means there's a skill underneath the current work that needs more support.

APLUS America helps by identifying where your child is at now, then creating a personalized weekly learning plan that targets the skills they need most.

The Best of Both Worlds: Online Learning and Real Tutor Support

APLUS America gives your child personalized online English support based on the skills they need most.

Your child can work through their lessons at home, at their own pace, with engaging, interactive activities that help them build reading, writing, spelling, and grammar skills at the right level.

Each week, they receive a personalized learning plan built around the areas they need support with. Lessons are designed to teach each concept clearly, with instant feedback and worked examples to help them keep moving.

When your child needs extra help with a piece of writing, they can reach out to tutor support and connect with a real English tutor. Tutors review writing tasks and give feedback on planning, structure, grammar, punctuation, and clarity. Tutor support is included in the weekly pricing.

It gives families a simple, flexible way to support English learning at home, with structure, consistency, and real help when it's needed.

How APLUS America English Tutoring Works

Step 1: Understanding Your Child's Level

Every child starts by helping us understand where they're currently at with reading, writing, spelling, and grammar. This helps identify which skills your child has a strong handle on, and where they could use more support, so their personalized English learning plan can focus on what matters most.

Step 2: A Personalized Weekly Learning Plan

Based on what we've learned about your child's current skills, we build a weekly lesson plan tailored specifically to them. Every Monday, the plan is updated with fresh activities. There's no guessing what to do next, your child logs in and the work is ready for them, sequenced to close gaps first, then consolidate what's being taught in class, then extend beyond.

Step 3: Learn at Your Own Pace with English Wiz

Our online learning platform delivers hundreds of interactive lessons covering the full K–12 Common Core English curriculum, from early phonics through to essay writing and literary analysis. It teaches, tests, and revisits each concept, adapting to how your child is responding. Lessons are designed to be engaging and self-explanatory, so students can work independently, building real confidence.

A Learning Path That Moves with Your Child

Our personalized plans follow three natural stages, and most students move through all three:

Revision and Catch-Up

When your child first gets started, their personalized learning plan focuses on the reading, writing, spelling, or grammar gaps we've identified. By strengthening these foundational skills, your child can start to feel more confident and engaged with what they're learning.

Consolidation

Once the key gaps have been addressed, the focus shifts to reinforcing what your child is learning at school right now. As their foundations get stronger, they can practice current class topics with a clearer understanding of each concept. This is often where things start to click.

Extension

Once your child is on track, the plan moves them ahead, into topics beyond the current classroom curriculum, building the kind of reading and writing depth that makes advanced English work less intimidating later.

Works for All Learners

Many families come to APLUS America because their child needs learning support that feels more flexible, structured, and manageable.

Our format works well for children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and other learning differences. Lessons are short, interactive, and engaging, with visuals, audio support, and activities that help children build understanding one step at a time.

Children also earn points as they complete lessons and activities, which can be exchanged for gift cards. This gives them a tangible way to celebrate their effort and progress as they keep building their skills.

If they need extra help, your child can access tutor support. Our online tutors can explain concepts in another way and give feedback on writing so they can keep moving forward.

Real Progress, Not Just Practice

APLUS America is structured learning support designed to help your child build stronger reading, writing, and grammar skills, along with more confidence and a better attitude toward English.

We start by understanding what your child already does well and where they need more support. From there, their personalized weekly learning plan targets the right skills in the right order.

As your child works through their plan, progress is easier to see. Weekly reports show what they have completed, how they are performing, and what their plan will focus on next.

What parents notice first

A shift in attitude. Children who dreaded reading or writing starting to engage voluntarily. Students finishing their weekly plan without being reminded.

What teachers notice

Students arriving in class more prepared, writing with more structure, and keeping up with new content instead of falling further behind.

Built Around the US English Curriculum

Every APLUS America English lesson is developed around Common Core Standards, the framework used by many schools across the United States to guide what students learn at each stage.

This means your child's personalized English learning plan is connected to the skills they are expected to build across the K–12 curriculum, while still starting at the level your child needs. For some children, that means revisiting earlier concepts like phonics or sentence structure. For others, it means reinforcing what they are learning now. And when they are ready, it can also help them move ahead into more advanced writing and analysis.

Our curriculum covers:

Because the curriculum is aligned and comprehensive, your child can build the skills they need in the right order. This can also support the foundational understanding needed for state assessments, standardized tests, and end-of-year exams, not through test prep, but through stronger curriculum knowledge over time.

English Tutoring – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Pricing for APLUS America starts from $24 per week, with family-friendly options available for English only or both math and English. Every plan includes access to the online learning platform, your child's personalized weekly learning plan, tutor support, weekly progress reports, and our rewards system. There are no per-session tutoring fees. New students also get their first 2 weeks free.

Is online English tutoring as effective as in-person?

Online English tutoring can work very well when your child has the right structure and support around them. With APLUS America, your child is not left to figure things out alone. They receive a personalized weekly English learning plan based on the skills they need most, with short, interactive lessons they can complete at home. If they need help with a piece of writing, our tutors give feedback. For families, this gives them the best of both worlds: the convenience of learning from home, with real tutor support available when it's needed.

How does tutor support work?

If your child is working on a piece of writing, their tutor can give feedback on planning, structure, grammar, punctuation, and clarity, helping them improve their next draft with confidence. Your child's learning plan is designed to be self-guided, with lessons and instant feedback built in, but knowing tutor support is available can make a real difference when they're working through a writing task. Parents can also reach out to talk through their child's progress or the weekly report.

How do you work out where to start my child?

We look at where your child is currently at with reading, writing, spelling, and grammar, so we can understand what they've got a good handle on and where they need more support. From there, we build your child's first personalized weekly lesson plan, starting with the areas that matter most. The plan is then updated every week based on your child's results, creating a feedback loop that keeps learning targeted.

What grades do you cover?

APLUS America covers English from Kindergarten through Grade 12. The curriculum is aligned to Common Core Standards and includes: Kindergarten through Grade 2 (phonics, sight words, sentence building, and early reading); Grades 3 through 6 (reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary); Grades 7 through 8 (text response essays and descriptive writing); and high school (language analysis, persuasive writing, essay writing, and literary analysis, including Shakespeare).

How quickly will my child improve?

It varies between students, but many families notice a shift in attitude and engagement within the first few weeks, particularly once earlier gaps start to close and writing starts to feel less overwhelming. We recommend around 20 minutes, 4 times per week, to help your child build that habit. Weekly reports show what they've covered, how they're performing, and what their plan will focus on next.

Can my child get help the same day?

Yes. Your child's personalized lesson plan is tailored to their needs and ongoing progress, so they're always working at their level. Lessons are clear, structured, and self-guided, with hints and instant feedback built in. When they need extra help, tutor support is there for them.

How is this different from other reading or writing apps?

The main difference with APLUS America is that we do the planning and personalization for you, and we add a human layer that most apps don't provide. A general reading or writing app is essentially a library, it doesn't tell your child what to work on or adjust based on their specific gaps. APLUS America builds a fresh weekly plan every Monday that targets those gaps in order, and when your child genuinely can't work something out on their own, or needs feedback on a piece of writing, there's a tutor available to help.
