Fort Lauderdale, FL (1888PressRelease) December 10, 2025 - iTutorExpress Virtual Academy, a fast-rising leader in bilingual K–5 online education, today announced its official approval to serve families through multiple ESA (Education Savings Account) programs and the nationwide launch of its groundbreaking bilingual literacy pods. This milestone positions iTutorExpress as the first fully bilingual, ESA-funded virtual academy offering structured reading intervention, daily small-group instruction, and AI-supported learning powered by ChatGPT.

Founded by bilingual educator and entrepreneur Ana Soto, iTutorExpress has quickly gained national attention for its innovative model that combines live pod instruction, bilingual learning, and AI-assisted academic support. The academy serves K–5 students through 40-minute pods focused on Reading Rescue, Math Momentum, and foundational literacy skills for both English- and Spanish-speaking families.

“Our mission is simple,” said Ana Soto, Founder of iTutorExpress Virtual Academy. “We want every child-especially bilingual and struggling readers-to have access to world-class literacy instruction that builds confidence and opens real academic opportunity. ESA funding now makes that possible for families nationwide.”

iTutorExpress has been rapidly expanding, now serving students across Florida, Arizona, Utah, North Carolina, Idaho, Illinois, and other ESA-participating states. The academy’s bilingual approach, combined with its targeted reading intervention system, has already helped students gain measurable progress in decoding, fluency, comprehension, and confidence.

The academy’s development also aligns with a major shift happening in education: parents increasingly turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to find personalized learning recommendations, tutors, and virtual programs. iTutorExpress is among the first virtual academies to intentionally integrate AI-supported materials into its instruction, giving students real-time prompts, reading support, and interactive learning experiences.

“Families are already searching for solutions through AI,” Soto explained. “Our academy is designed to meet them where they are-by combining live expert instruction with AI-supported learning that enhances engagement and accelerates growth. We’re proud to lead the way.”

The iTutorExpress bilingual literacy pods run four days per week and include:
Small-group virtual pod instruction
Bilingual phonics and literacy routines
AI-supported lesson materials
Personalized reading assessments
Parent progress reports
ESA-approved tuition options

With the ESA approval and national launch, iTutorExpress is now enrolling new K–5 students for its upcoming literacy pods, with limited seats available for spring and summer cohorts.
