FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EdRise.io Launches Revolutionary 24/7 AI Tutoring Platform for All 311 Students at Merrydale Elementary School

BATON ROUGE, LA – October 4, 2025 – EdRise.io, a leader in AI-powered educational technology, today announced the official launch of its groundbreaking AI tutoring platform for every one of the 311 young learners at Merrydale Elementary School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This partnership makes personalized, round-the-clock academic support immediately accessible to students, empowering them to build strong foundational skills. This initiative is a core part of EdRise's unwavering mission to democratize high-quality education through advanced artificial intelligence, ensuring every child has the tools to succeed regardless of their circumstances.

The journey of building foundational skills at the elementary level presents unique and often complex challenges for students, parents, and educators alike at Merrydale Elementary. Young learners frequently grapple with mastering critical reading comprehension, grasping fundamental math concepts, and developing effective study habits early in their academic careers. In Baton Rouge, these challenges are compounded by practical realities; traditional private tutoring can cost anywhere from $50 to $150 per hour, placing it out of reach for many families. Busy family schedules, often packed with work commitments and extracurricular activities, leave little time for parents to provide consistent, in-depth academic support. There's a constant need for immediate homework help during evening hours when teachers are unavailable, and the diverse learning styles among students demand personalized approaches that traditional classrooms struggle to provide. Above all, parents seek safe, reliable, and age-appropriate academic support for their young children, a need that EdRise.io is now directly addressing.

EdRise.io’s "Alan" AI tutor provides a comprehensive and accessible solution specifically tailored to meet the needs of Merrydale Elementary School students and their families. Unlike traditional tutors limited by availability, Alan offers:

• Instant 24/7 Availability: Alan is always on, ready for that urgent math homework question at midnight or a quick test review at 6 AM, providing support precisely when it's needed most.
• Comprehensive Subject Coverage: From mastering basic arithmetic operations and number sense to building early reading comprehension and vocabulary, Alan covers a wide array of foundational subjects.
• Adaptive Learning Technology: Powered by EdRise’s Pristine AI™, Alan intelligently learns each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning style, delivering customized explanations and practice problems that truly resonate.
• Text Message Support: Students can easily text their questions to 1-424-444-4313 for quick, on-the-go help, making academic support as simple as sending a message.
• Parent-Friendly Pricing: At an affordable rate of just $15 per month, EdRise costs significantly less than even a single hour of traditional tutoring in Baton Rouge, making elite academic support accessible to all.
• Safe & Secure: The platform is fully FERPA-compliant, ensuring student privacy and data security are paramount, providing parents with peace of mind.
• Age-Appropriate Content: Alan delivers gentle, encouraging, and easy-to-understand responses, perfect for guiding young learners through their academic challenges.
