Vetted Texas Tutor Corps
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is excited to announce the launch of the Vetted Texas Tutor Corps (VTTC), an initiative aimed at accelerating student learning through high impact tutoring, with a goal of reaching over one million students. The VTTC is comprised of TEA-Approved and TEA-Subsidized Tutoring Providers that can support the implementation of high impact tutoring as well as assist districts in meeting the statutory requirements for supplemental accelerated instruction as outlined in House Bill (HB) 4545.
TEA-Approved Providers
TEA-Approved Providers have been reviewed to ensure they can provide support aligned to the research-based components of high impact tutoring. The TEA-Approved Provider list may assist LEAs with local procurement processes (dependent on local board policies), and LEAs may use local ESSER funding for these programs. The TEA-Approved Providers include both full-service and partial-service providers:
- Full-service providers can provide end-to-end services including instructional materials, tutoring platforms, and trained tutors.
- Partial-service providers can provide singular services, typically only tutor recruitment and staffing.
- Educator-preparation program pathway providers can provide tutoring services either as full-service or partial-service and most often utilize individuals in teacher preparation programs to serve as tutors or support.
TEA places tutoring providers on the Vetted Texas Tutor Corps list based on a variety of criteria related to their ability to provide high-quality tutoring services to students in Texas. TEA has not entered into contracts with these providers in connection with their placement on the list. Additionally, TEA does not have authority to verify whether the tutor providers are eligible to serve as contractors to an LEA. An organization is not required to be on our list in order for an LEA to work with them; LEAs may have a preference to partner only with reviewed and approved providers in order to meet their needs.
It is the responsibility of the contracting LEA to ensure that any tutoring provider selected from this list complies with any relevant statutes or rules applicable to entities that provide services to LEAs, including Chapter 22 of the Texas Education Code and any relevant data handling or information security requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No, LEAs would need to contract with a TEA-Approved provider to pay for any services needed.
A: No, LEAs must utilize the TEA-Subsidized providers’ instructional materials, tutoring platform, and aligned tutor training to be eligible for additional discretionary funding via the TCLAS grant application. TEA-Subsidized providers for instructional materials, the tutoring platform, and aligned tutor training will be released soon.
A: The TEA-Approved providers list is a list of partial and full providers that can support any LEA in providing access to staff (partial provider) or full tutoring support (full-service provider). The TEA-Subsidized providers are to provide instructional materials, curriculum-embedded tutoring platform, and aligned tutor training. While the instructional materials and tutoring platform are subsidized (reducing cost) there still may be additional costs and responsibilities of the LEA (e.g., tutor training costs and tutor labor fees). LEA’s that received funding under the TCLAS grant must use the TEA-Subsidized providers’ materials and resources list. The TEA-Subsidized provider list is available for all LEAs to access and use regardless of TCLAS grant award.
A: Decisions should be based on LEA needs. If tutors are all that is needed, a partial service provider should be considered to fill this need. If there are additional needs, a full-service provider may be a good match.
A: Yes, there will be an ongoing application process. Additional information regarding the dates will be posted on the website.
A: The link to the website of the provider is included. There is also additional contact information on the linked one-pager for each provider. Interested LEAs will need to establish contact with providers they are interested in.
A: It is recommended that you reach out to the provider first to see if any issues can be resolved. Ultimately, this is a local decision and process determined among the LEA and provider to ensure compliance and contract fulfillment requirements.
A: It is the LEAs responsibility to screen tutors and ensure that they have passed all background check requirements to work in a public school.
