We're sunsetting Fluency Tutor in December 2024
After careful consideration, we've made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Fluency Tutor at the end of 2024.
This hasn’t been an easy decision for us.
We’re committed to providing products that align closely with our mission to help everyone understand and be understood. And we’ve also been sharpening our focus as an inclusive technology company so we can better support more teachers and learners across the globe.
As we evaluate our product range, we realise that Fluency Tutor, while being a valuable tool, sit slightly outside of this scope.
In recent years, we've also started to experience a decline in the number of people using Fluency Tutor, compared to our other tools. With this in mind, we'll be directing our efforts towards enhancing and developing our other offerings, such as Read&Write, Equatio, and OrbitNote which we believe offer more comprehensive solutions for reading and writing.
Unfortunately that means that from December 31, 2024 Fluency Tutor will no longer be available.
