Studyville

What Studyville does

Studyville is a private, for-profit academic workspace and tutoring provider founded in 2020 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a second location in Alexandria. The company serves middle and high school students (grades 6-12, with select K-5 programs) and their families primarily in Louisiana, offering private one-on-one tutoring, drop-in homework support, ACT and SAT test preparation, college counseling, microschooling, private educator services, and summer camps. The core operational model combines physical retail-style academic workspace locations where students can walk in for on-demand tutoring with contractual school district partnerships delivering state-funded programs including High Dosage Tutoring, ESA Tutoring Services, and the Steve Carter Literacy Program.

Studyville's product technology centers on two proprietary assets: the ReadingImpact curriculum, developed in partnership with Johns Hopkins University and Air Reading under a $15 million Federal Literacy Grant and grounded in the Science of Reading methodology, and StudyTrack, a progress-monitoring platform providing data dashboards to school principals implementing high-dosage tutoring. The company generates revenue across four streams: usage-based private tutoring ($30 per 30-minute session for members, $40 for non-members, $80 per hour), monthly membership subscriptions with discounted session access, one-time test prep course purchases ($500 for ACT Prep Overdrive, $800 for ACT Prep Essentials, starting at $155 for college counseling), and managed-services contracts with Louisiana school districts. The company is founder-owned by Amanda Martin, bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, and distributes through its physical locations, school district relationships, and the Momence online booking platform. In 2023, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce named Studyville one of America's top 70 small businesses.
