How the Success Lab Works: Bring Your Own Curriculum
This is not a drop-in tutoring program. The School Day Success Lab is a structured, day-in-the-life academic environment that mirrors the routine, accountability, and guided instruction of a traditional school setting—while utilizing your family’s chosen curriculum.
The Experience: Students arrive with their specific homeschool curriculum or online learning logins. From there, our trained BTA instructors take the lead. We provide a highly supervised environment where students receive dedicated academic reinforcement, guided help with their daily assignments, and opportunities for hands-on enrichment.
What Students Bring:
- Their specific curriculum materials or device
- Login credentials for any online learning platforms
- Headphones (highly recommended)
- A daily lunch (BTA provides light snacks and refreshments)
Who It Is For & Core Academic Outcomes
The Success Lab is ideal for K-6 homeschool families looking for a tutor in Montgomery and the surrounding areas who are seeking full-day academic structure, supplemental instruction, and a supervised learning environment. By reducing the daily instructional burden on parents, we help ensure your student remains engaged and consistently progresses.
Families can expect students to:
- Stay academically engaged and completely on pace with their curriculum.
- Strengthen core reading, writing, and math skills.
- Build critical independence, accountability, and strong study routines.
- Receive engaging, whole-child enrichment alongside their core academics.
- Gain genuine confidence in their own learning abilities.

A Balanced Day: Academics Meets Enrichment
We believe a successful school day requires more than just screen time or independent reading. We intentionally blend your child’s core academic requirements with our own robust Homeschool Enrichment activities to foster a deeper, more engaging learning experience.
A sample day in the Success Lab includes:
- Core Academic Support: Dedicated blocks for students to complete their curriculum assignments with guided, small-group instruction.
- Movement & Breaks: Scheduled downtime to keep young minds fresh and focused.
- Enrichment Activities: Hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) challenges, creative projects, and socialization opportunities.
- Progress Reflection: End-of-day wrap-ups to build accountability and celebrate daily wins.
Maximizing Your Education with the Alabama CHOOSE Act
The “Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students’ Education Act of 2024” (The CHOOSE Act) provides refundable income tax credits in the form of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) for Alabama families.
As an approved Education Service Provider (ESP), Better Than Average Tutoring is fully authorized to accept ChooseACT funds. The School Day Success Lab falls perfectly within the scope of eligible educational expenses, making it an ideal, high-impact use of a family’s CHOOSE Act benefits. We provide a clear, seamless path for families to utilize their ClassWallet funds at our facility.
Enrollment Details & Accommodations
We prioritize small cohort sizes (up to 20 students) to ensure every child receives premium, individualized support. Because seats are highly limited, we give enrollment priority to Full-Year and returning families.
