Chandler Tutoring is proud to accept Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) funds. This page walks you through exactly how to use your ESA dollars for online K–5 tutoring with Julie — the easy way.
Book a Free Meet & Greet →The Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program lets qualifying Arizona families redirect a portion of their state education funding toward approved private education expenses — including private school tuition, curriculum, therapies, and tutoring services like mine.
For the 2025–2026 school year, ESA funds can be used to pay for one-on-one tutoring with qualified educators. Chandler Tutoring meets the program's requirements, which means you can use your ESA dollars to cover sessions with Julie.
If you're new to ESA or still deciding whether to apply, the official program lives at azed.gov/esa. I'm not affiliated with the state — I'm just a vendor that accepts ESA funds — but I'm happy to answer practical questions on a free Meet & Greet call.
Once your ESA account is approved by the Arizona Department of Education, paying for tutoring is straightforward. Here's the typical flow:
No payment required. I'll talk about your child's needs, answer your ESA questions, and confirm it's a good fit.
After your free consultation, I'll email you an invoice for the tutoring sessions you've chosen. ESA-friendly format included.
Upload our invoice in your ClassWallet portal under "Tutoring Services." The Arizona DOE reviews and approves payment.
Once payment is processed, I'll schedule your child's first session. We can start within days, not weeks.
First time using ESA for tutoring? It can feel intimidating, but it's not. I'll walk you through ClassWallet on the Meet & Greet call if you'd like — share screen, point and click, done. You can also read the full 2026 Arizona ESA tutoring guide for a plain-English walkthrough.
Through Chandler Tutoring, ESA funds can cover:
The free Meet & Greet call itself doesn't cost anything and isn't billed to ESA — that's my gift to you.
No. You can book a free Meet & Greet whether or not you have ESA approval yet. If you'd like to use ESA funds for sessions, you'll need approval before the first paid session, but I'm happy to talk first and help you decide whether to apply.
Invoice approvals through ClassWallet typically clear within 5–10 business days, though it varies. I'll start scheduling sessions as soon as payment is approved.
Yes. I bill by the hour and can send one invoice covering as many sessions as you'd like, rather than weekly paperwork — easier on you. I'll structure it around your goals and remaining ESA balance.
I plan ahead so this doesn't happen, and I'll always confirm available balance before invoicing. If your ESA quarter ends mid-engagement, I can pause sessions until the new quarter or transition to a private-pay arrangement — your choice.
Yes. ESA funds cover qualified tutoring services regardless of format. All Chandler Tutoring sessions are online, and they're fully ESA-eligible.
Just the student's name as it appears on their ESA account, and the number of sessions you'd like to purchase. Our invoices include all fields ClassWallet needs to process the payment.
