Platinum Edge Tutoring
Financial literacy

Money skills that build lasting economic mobility.

Practical, plain-language financial education for students, families and schools. Because affordability is a school conversation too.

Why it matters

The cost of living is a classroom issue.

Working families across the five boroughs are making hard choices about rent, groceries, childcare and college. Students who learn to budget, borrow wisely and plan ahead carry that into every decision they make.

Our programs give students and parents the same practical language, so money conversations at home and at school finally match.
