Learning in action

Cignition tutors bring decades of classroom experience, specialized SPED training, and a commitment to student growth.
Foundation Literacy Program

In this clip, a tutor works one-on-one with a kindergarten student on phonemic awareness and early decoding. Through visuals, hand motions, and targeted prompts, students learn to isolate, blend, and segment sounds, key skills for early readers.

Mathematics Demo Tutoring Session

This small-group session highlights collaborative learning in action. Students explore fractions together using digital manipulatives while the tutor facilitates an inquiry-driven discussion. By encouraging peer dialogue and shared problem-solving, the session deepens conceptual understanding and builds confidence.

Launch with ease

Cignition is designed to expand instructional capacity without adding work for teachers. Partnership is simple—districts just provide a few essentials.

Scheduling

Technology

Each student needs a network-enabled device with a working camera and microphone, plus headphones. Chromebooks or laptops are preferred; iPads or desktops are acceptable. Devices should be no more than three years old.

Supervision

A staff member on-site monitors the space while virtual tutoring takes place to ensure smooth delivery and engagement.

Program
Management

Cignition program managers guide implementation from start to finish. As former educators, they are well equipped to anticipate district and student needs, handling onboarding, grouping, tutor coordination, and communications—so your staff doesn’t have to.

“I love that our students are able to get small group instruction in addition to the tier 1 instruction that they receive in class. The activities are standards-based, and the students are engaged in learning. I meet with the lead weekly to discuss attendance, progress, and topics for tutors to cover. I highly recommend Cignition.”
