KALAMAZOO, MI – September 27, 2025 – EdRise.io, a pioneer in AI-driven educational technology, today announced the official launch of its revolutionary AI tutoring platform for all 538 students at HILLSIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL in Kalamazoo, MI. This immediate availability provides pre-teens with instant, personalized academic support across all subjects, marking a significant step in EdRise’s mission to democratize access to high-quality education through advanced artificial intelligence. The platform’s introduction promises to transform how Hillside students engage with their coursework, offering an equitable and innovative solution to learning challenges.

Navigating middle school in Kalamazoo presents a unique set of challenges for students. Hillside Middle School’s 538 pre-teens are grappling with increasingly complex coursework, from mastering pre-algebra and advanced reading comprehension to executing intricate science projects and adapting to multiple teachers for the first time. Traditional academic support often comes with a hefty price tag, with average tutoring costs in Kalamazoo ranging from $50 to $150 per hour, making consistent, high-quality help inaccessible for many families. Furthermore, busy family schedules, extracurricular commitments, and the need for immediate homework assistance during evening hours often leave students feeling unsupported. Diverse learning styles also demand personalized approaches that are difficult to achieve in a one-size-fits-all educational environment.

EdRise.io’s Alan AI tutor offers a powerful and accessible solution specifically tailored to meet the needs of HILLSIDE MIDDLE SCHOOL students. The platform addresses the critical gaps in traditional tutoring models with a suite of innovative features:

• Adaptive Learning Technology: Powered by EdRise’s proprietary Pristine AI™ technology, Alan intelligently learns each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning style, delivering customized explanations, practice problems, and learning pathways for truly personalized instruction.
• Text Message Support: Students can text questions directly to 1-424-444-4313, making it incredibly convenient for quick help between classes, during study hall, or whenever a question arises without needing to log into a full platform.
• Parent-Friendly Pricing: At just $15 per month, EdRise costs less than a single hour of traditional tutoring in Kalamazoo, making premium academic support affordable for all Hillside families.
