Board Meeting
August 2026
A new chair, a strong financial position, and two big wins to walk through together.
Agenda
A new chair for Learn To Be.
Over to you, Ling.
Ling Koh · Board Chair, Learn To Be
"When I retired after a 52-year career as a nurse, I was fearful that I had lost my identity and my purpose — but I have found my niche in tutoring."

Where we stand.
As of August 12, 2026. Money in / out reflect the primary account, YTD.
Two (likely) big wins!
Nothing inked yet, but we have verbal commitments from both that change our revenue picture.
Three health plans, secured for 2027.
Three Medicaid partnerships secured, each at our flat $60K annual rate — including our current partner, bumping from $2K to $5K/month. Contracts aren't signed yet, but commitments are in place and launches begin in 2027.
Annie will walk us through these partnerships and others in the pipeline.
A new $250K grant from an existing funder.
This funder already gave us a $225,000 grant this year, and the relationship has been strong enough that they invited us to this $250K grant. We haven't received formal notice, but the odds are good.
The grant funds tutor recruitment for our intergenerational tutoring program, starting next year. The funder is flexible on how we deploy the money, and while it's structured as a two-year grant, they're open to extending it to three or four.
"My student was failing all his subjects. After 7 months he has all A's and B's."

Real, recurring money — from two directions.
We're starting to measure real impact.
Our tutoring and curriculum are now squarely focused on K–8 — where we can move the needle most. And we're beginning to see it in standardized scores.
Grace & José were matched in late 2025. José, a 3rd grader, is enrolled in two of our courses alongside his weekly tutoring. By May, his FAST ELA Reading results told the story.
Kids enroll in our courses and work on them with their tutors.
Every student is placed into standards-aligned courses that anchor their tutoring sessions. Here's what they're enrolling in this year.
Course enrollments, 2026 year to date, from our platform database.
Practice makes faster.
Of the students who practiced a Math Facts lesson consistently, 34 of 42 got measurably faster. A sample of what diligent practice looks like:
Average seconds per fact, early vs. late attempts on the same lesson. Accuracy held steady throughout.
You can hear the difference.
Bry'nasia, a 4th grader, recorded herself reading grade-3 passages in our reading fluency tool — seven weeks apart. Same grade level, same student, 67% faster.
"You don't think your heart can expand, and then you think it may be at capacity — but it's always making room for more."

What's next,
and what's to come.
Open Q&A with the board — priorities, opportunities, and where we want Learn To Be to go from here.
