Finding the right tutor can make your homeschool day feel more manageable. Your child gets someone to explain a difficult concept, and you get support with subjects that take extra time, patience, or preparation.
For participating Arizona families, Empowerment Scholarship Account funds can help pay for eligible tutoring services. Family Focused Tutors accepts Arizona ESA funding and provides personalized online tutoring with Christian educators.
Whether your child needs help with reading, a challenging math course, or ongoing homeschool instruction, we can help you explore the support that fits.

Can Arizona ESA Funds Pay for Online Tutoring?
Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program includes tutoring among its eligible educational expenses. Families must follow the program’s requirements for the provider, service, and supporting documentation.
The Arizona Department of Education’s ESA website explains the program, while the current ESA Parent Handbook provides guidance on using funds.
Family Focused Tutors accepts Arizona ESA payments through ClassWallet. Before scheduling, let our team know that you plan to use ESA funds so we can discuss the tutoring service, invoicing, and payment process.
A provider accepting ESA payments does not mean every possible purchase is automatically covered. Confirm the specific arrangement before committing funds.
What Kind of Online Tutoring Does Your Child Need?
Start with the learning problem you want to solve. A child who needs help finishing this week’s assignments may need a different service from a child who has missed foundational skills.
Help Understanding Current Assignments
Sometimes a student understands most of a course but gets stuck on particular lessons. Homework support provides time to ask questions, review difficult concepts, and work through assignments with guidance.
For example, your child might need help:
Understanding how to solve an equation.
Organizing a paragraph before writing.
Reviewing material before a quiz.
Interpreting a science question.
Explaining the reasoning behind a math answer.
The goal is to help your child understand the work, rather than simply finish it.
Ongoing Homeschool Instruction
You do not have to teach every subject yourself to remain involved in your child’s education.
With our online homeschool tutoring, your family chooses the curriculum. The tutor provides instruction, lesson planning, and grading for the subjects they teach.
This can be helpful when you want to hand over a challenging subject, need support teaching several children, or would like a consistent teaching partner.
Support for Missing Foundational Skills
If new lessons keep becoming difficult for the same reason, your child may need help with an earlier skill.
A student struggling with pre-algebra might need more practice with fractions. A child who avoids reading assignments might need support with decoding or comprehension.
Our remediation tutoring focuses on identifying and teaching missing math and language arts skills. This service includes an assessment and targeted lessons.
Subjects Arizona Families Can Get Help With
Family Focused Tutors offers support across K–12 subjects, with matching based on the student’s needs and tutor availability.
| Subject | Examples of tutoring goals |
|---|---|
| Math | Strengthen number sense, fractions, equations, and problem-solving skills |
| Reading | Work on phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension |
| Writing | Develop sentences, organize paragraphs, plan essays, and revise drafts |
| Science | Understand concepts, interpret questions, and review course material |
| History | Connect events, understand timelines, and organize written responses |
| Study skills | Break assignments into steps and develop a more consistent study routine |
Students working through advanced math can explore our online geometry tutors or Christian math tutoring. Families seeking science support can learn about our online science tutors.
Bring your child’s textbook, curriculum name, or a few recent assignments to the conversation. Specific examples help us understand the support you are looking for.
How to Use Arizona ESA Funds with Family Focused Tutors
1. Schedule a Free Consultation
Tell us about your child’s grade level, subjects, curriculum, and learning goals. Mention that your family participates in Arizona’s ESA program.
The consultation is an introductory conversation about tutoring options, rather than a free instructional session.
2. Discuss the Service and Schedule
We will help you explore the appropriate tutoring service and a potential tutor match. Ask about weekly hours, scheduling, materials, and what is included.
Before beginning, confirm the current rate and any payment-processing charges.
3. Review Your Invoice
Check that the invoice reflects the agreed service and charges. Ask our team about any supporting provider documentation needed for your ESA payment.
Keeping invoices and payment records organized makes it easier to manage your education budget.
4. Submit Payment Through ClassWallet
Family Focused Tutors’ Arizona payment instructions ask parents to submit their invoice through ClassWallet each month and email a copy of the payment receipt to our team.
Our published Arizona instructions also state that a 2.5% processing fee is included on each invoice. Confirm the current total when arranging services.
You can review our scholarship and ESA payment information and the Arizona Department of Education’s ClassWallet guidance before getting started.
How to Choose an Arizona ESA Online Tutor
Payment compatibility is only part of finding the right fit. The tutor should also have relevant experience and an approach that works for your child.
Ask these questions before enrolling:
Have you taught this subject and level? Elementary math and high school geometry require different experience.
Can you work with our curriculum? Share the specific program and edition when possible.
What happens during a session? Ask how instruction, practice, and feedback are balanced.
How will I hear about progress? Find out how the tutor communicates with parents.
What does the service include? Clarify whether you are purchasing homework help, subject instruction, or remediation.
How are ESA payments handled? Confirm invoicing, fees, documentation, and your responsibilities.
You can meet the Family Focused Tutors team to learn about our educators’ backgrounds.
