Arrive ready.
Start earning credit.
A structured eight-week summer tutoring bridge in math and English, so a student's first semester counts toward a degree instead of paying for courses that don't.
One semester of tuition. Zero credits toward a degree.
For the student
A semester spent in MAT 0024 covers material they were meant to know already. It earns no credit, and graduation moves a term further away.
For the family
They pay full tuition for a course that appears on no degree audit. It is the least popular line item on any bill a college sends.
For the College
Underplaced students carry the highest attrition risk. A student who never reaches credit-bearing math is a student who often does not return.
One test decides the whole year.
MAT 0024
Elementary Algebra. No college credit.
MAT 1033
Intermediate Algebra. Elective credit only.
MAC 1105
College Algebra. Counts from week one.
ACT English
Or below 18 Reading. Places into ENC 0020.
SAT Reading & Writing
Combined score. Places into ENC 0020.
CLT Verbal & Grammar
Clear any one. Starts at ENC 1101.
Miss one threshold and the first semester starts at ENC 0020 — Intro to College English, no college credit. Clear it and the student begins at ENC 1101.
Math and English.
Two subjects. An AI tutor works each student only through what they have not proven yet.
Mathematics
- Pre-algebra foundations
- Equations and inequalities
- Polynomials and factoring
- Functions and graphing
- Full ALEKS PPL preparation
English
- Grammar and sentence structure
- Paragraph and essay craft
- Thesis, evidence, argument
- Reading comprehension
- Revision and editing
Eight weeks, five phases.
Every student follows the same arc. No two follow the same path through it — the diagnostic writes each student's sequence, and the tutor rewrites it after every session.
Diagnostic
An adaptive diagnostic maps both subjects skill by skill. Every gap is located before a single lesson is assigned.
Foundations
The gaps that block everything downstream — arithmetic reasoning, sentence control. Nothing already mastered is repeated.
Core skills
The bulk of the work. Algebra through functions; paragraph through argument. The tutor rebuilds each session from the last one's results.
Under exam conditions
Timed, mixed-topic practice in the real testing format. Whatever still breaks under pressure is found and closed.
The real test
The student sits the College's own proctored placement test. The result is the result — we report it either way.
Faculty stay in control.
Your standard, not ours
Your curriculum, your texts, your mastery thresholds. The AI adapts how a student gets there — never what they are held to. The department draws that line.
Seen before move-in
Advising receives a skill-by-skill report on every student before the semester opens — not a single score in week three, when the schedule is already set.
Tuition preserved
A family's semester goes toward coursework that appears on the degree audit. That is a retention argument and an admissions argument at the same time.
Measured honestly
Success is defined by the College's own proctored placement test — sat under your proctor, not ours. If a cohort does not move, the report will say so.
Start with one cohort.
The goal is every student in the cohort clearing the threshold by August. Measured against Florida College's own placement test and reported in full — including what does not work.
A proposal for discussion — not an announced program.
