Florida May Pay for Your Child’s Tutoring. Here’s How It Works.

Cooperdyne Learning is an approved Step Up for Students direct-pay provider. Eligible families can use scholarship funds to pay for tutoring — we bill Step Up directly, and the family never sees an invoice.

You bring your child. We handle the billing.

Direct-pay means you never pay us and wait for reimbursement. We submit claims to Step Up for Students directly after each session. Many families pay absolutely nothing out of pocket for their child’s tutoring.

We also offer free eligibility consultations. If you’re not sure which program fits your family, call us. We’ll walk through the requirements with you at no charge.

Not sure if you qualify?

Call us at (407) 792-0347. We’ll walk you through the eligibility requirements for each program and help you identify which one fits your family. There is no cost for this guidance.
