Middle school math intervention
StarCoach gives teachers a practical way to provide targeted Tier 2 and Tier 3 math support without stopping grade-level instruction.
For intervention teachers, classroom teachers, Title I programs, and school leaders
Always free for teachers. No credit card. No trial deadline.
The intervention problem
A student may struggle with a grade-level lesson because of one missing prerequisite, a persistent misconception, or language that obscures the mathematics. Whole-class review is too broad, while individual tutoring cannot reach everyone.
Giving students more practice does not solve the problem when they do not yet have a strategy for making sense of the mathematics.
The StarCoach approach
Teachers assign a short, expert-designed Coaching Workshop to a class, small group, or individual student. Each Workshop focuses on a specific knowledge component, misconception, or transferable problem-solving strategy.
Students receive one-to-one Strategy Coaching while the teacher works directly with the students who need human attention most.
What changes for students
Targeted support
Modular Workshops let teachers respond to different prerequisite gaps without creating 30 separate lessons.
Strategy Coaching
Students learn how to comprehend, represent, translate, and execute—not merely how to finish one exercise.
Teacher time
While students work with StarCoach, teachers gain a protected window to confer with a focused group.
A teacher-directed intervention cycle
Teachers choose the Workshop and the students. StarCoach coaches each student through the designed sequence, one focused move at a time.
Choose the prerequisite skill, misconception, or strategy that is preventing progress in the current unit.
Send a 15–30-minute Workshop to the class, a small group, or an individual student.
Students ask questions, sketch representations, explain moves, and revise with focused coaching.
Use the student work and conversation to decide whether to reinforce, extend, or return to grade-level work.

Students who had been reluctant to ask questions began engaging with StarCoach, and many returned voluntarily at night and on weekends to keep learning.
