Use Your Florida ESA for AI Tutoring

All three tracks can cover tutoring. FES-EO serves private school families at approximately $8,000. FES-UA serves students with disabilities at $10,000 to $34,000. PEP serves homeschoolers at $7,400 to $12,000 by county.

Florida permits reimbursement for eligible educational software and tutoring expenses, subject to program approval. We will help confirm the appropriate expense category and prepare the required documentation.

Applications generally run from February through April through Step Up For Students or AAA Scholarship Foundation. FES-UA often has waitlists, so apply as early as possible. PEP applications for 2026-27 are now closed.

Where Aristotle supports Direct Pay, no: your ESA pays Aristotle directly through the program portal. Other programs use reimbursement, meaning you pay first and submit documentation for approval. We will confirm which method applies before you enroll.

Everything your program requires: itemized invoices with the student's name, service dates, and subjects covered. We also provide progress reports and vendor approval documentation on request.

Each student's ESA funds are separate, so each student requires an individual invoice. We prepare these automatically when you sign up.

Answer apps hand your child the solution and forget them when the chat ends. Aristotle teaches the way expert tutors do: it asks your child to explain their thinking, finds the misconception underneath a wrong answer, and guides them with questions until they solve it themselves. It remembers what your child has mastered and plans what to teach next.
