Apangea Learning: How Budget-Strapped Schools Can Still Offer Summer School
Math Programs

PITTSBURGH, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Schools facing severe budget restrictions
can still offer their at-risk students the opportunity this summer to catch up
in their math studies and build their problem-solving skills for future
academic success.

Apangea Learning Inc., (www.apangealearning.com), leaders in personalized,
one-on-one online tutoring for students across the country, said today it is
offering a limited-time incentive to schools that offer access to its Apangea
Math supplemental learning program this summer.

Apangea Learning customizes a summer school program to meet a school's budget
and staffing constraints.

"It's no secret that many school districts are facing financial challenges
now. We've developed a cost-effective math tutoring summer school program that
can work for any school," said Gerry Balbier, Apangea executive vice
president.

Balbier noted that one advantage of the Apangea Math program is that it offers
at-home access to Apangea's live, one-on-one tutoring.

"Even if a school can't keep its doors open this summer, it can give students
the ability to fulfill summer school requirements at home, with full tracking
and reporting of their progress," Balbier said.

Another advantage, Balbier added, is that the Apangea Math program does not
require a math teacher to supervise student use. "Many schools will be
operating in-school programs this summer but with limited staffing. We can
integrate into that process seamlessly. Our program engages students directly
to create a differentiated learning approach -- students can work at their own
levels and speed - and with options for different language support."

During the school year, Apangea works directly with classroom teachers and
administrators to develop individualized pathways for students.
