EdRise Revolutionizes Academic Support for THORNTON EL Elementary Students with 24/7 AI Tutoring Platform

SAN ANTONIO, TX – September 28, 2025 – EdRise.io, a pioneer in AI-driven educational technology, proudly announces the launch of its revolutionary AI tutoring platform for all 525 young learners at Thornton Elementary School in San Antonio, TX. Effective immediately, every student at Thornton EL now has access to personalized, round-the-clock academic support, powered by EdRise’s advanced AI tutor, Alan. This initiative marks a significant step in EdRise’s overarching mission to democratize access to high-quality education, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to empower students and support families facing Texas's evolving educational landscape.

Thornton Elementary students, like many young learners across the state, frequently encounter a range of foundational academic challenges. Mastering reading comprehension, solidifying basic math concepts, and developing effective study habits early are critical for long-term success. Local families in San Antonio often grapple with the prohibitive costs of traditional tutoring, which typically range from $50 to $150 per hour, making consistent support out of reach for many. Furthermore, busy family schedules and evening extracurricular commitments leave little room for fixed tutoring appointments, and the urgent need for homework help often arises during non-school hours. Young children also require diverse learning styles and personalized approaches to truly grasp difficult concepts, and parents consistently seek safe, reliable, and age-appropriate academic assistance they can trust.

EdRise’s Alan AI tutor offers a comprehensive and accessible solution specifically designed to address these pressing needs for Thornton EL students. The platform transforms the way young learners receive academic support:

• Instant 24/7 Availability: Unlike traditional tutors, Alan is available anytime, day or night. Whether it's last-minute math homework at midnight or a quick review for a morning test at 6 AM, help is always just a click or text away.
• Comprehensive Subject Coverage: Alan provides expert assistance across a wide range of subjects crucial for elementary education, from basic arithmetic and number sense to early reading, phonics, and vocabulary development.
• Adaptive Learning Technology: Powered by Pristine AI™, Alan learns each student's unique strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning style, delivering customized explanations, practice problems, and feedback that truly resonate.
• Text Message Support: Students can easily text their questions to 1-424-444-4313, making it perfect for quick, on-the-go help between classes, at home, or during study sessions.
• Parent-Friendly Pricing: At an affordable $15 per month, EdRise costs significantly less than a single hour of traditional tutoring in San Antonio, making high-quality academic support truly accessible to all families.
