Adult Learning Solutions
It's Never Too Late to Learn
28% of American adults struggle with basic literacy. 34% struggle with basic numeracy. If you're one of them, you're not alone—and you don't have to stay there. Pitch Rise offers private, judgment-free, AI-powered learning that meets you exactly where you are.
You're Not Alone
According to PIAAC 2023 (the international gold standard for measuring adult skills), approximately 54 million American adults struggle with basic reading and 66 million struggle with basic math.
These aren't people who “can't read” or “can't do math.” They're people who find it challenging to understand written instructions, fill out forms accurately, calculate tips, or help their kids with homework.
Many are smart, hardworking, and successful in other areas of life. They've developed workarounds and coping strategies. But deep down, they wish they felt more confident with reading and numbers. That's exactly who Pitch Rise is for.
Why This Happens (And Why It's Not Your Fault)
There are many reasons adults struggle with foundational skills. Understanding these helps remove the shame and focus on solutions.
Educational Gaps
Maybe school didn't work for you. Overcrowded classrooms, life circumstances, learning differences, or simply not being ready—many factors can create gaps that compound over time.
Skill Atrophy
Skills fade without practice. If your job doesn't require complex reading or math, these abilities naturally weaken over years. It's like a muscle that isn't exercised.
Technology Dependency
Spell-check, calculators, and GPS have reduced how often we exercise foundational skills. The convenience is real, but so is the mental muscle loss.
Life Interruptions
Health issues, family responsibilities, economic pressures, or trauma can interrupt education and skill development at critical times.
English as Second Language
If you learned English as an adult, reading and writing can remain challenging even after becoming fluent in speech. Written English has unique complexities.
Cognitive Changes
Aging, medical conditions, or injuries can affect cognitive abilities. Skills that once came easily may become more difficult.
The good news: Your brain is incredibly adaptable. With the right practice, at the right difficulty level, anyone can improve at any age. That's exactly what Pitch Rise provides.

Common Questions
I haven't been in school for decades. Can I really improve?
Absolutely. Your brain maintains the ability to learn throughout life—it's called neuroplasticity. With consistent practice at the right level (which our adaptive system ensures), you can make significant improvements at any age.
How much time do I need to spend?
Even 15 minutes a day can lead to meaningful progress. The key is consistency. Our streak system and gamification help you stay motivated without requiring hours of practice.
What if I get frustrated or stuck?
The AI tutor is always available to explain things differently. And the adaptive system automatically adjusts—if something's too hard, you'll get easier problems until you build up. There's no failure, only progress.
Is my information private?
Yes. We understand the sensitivity of working on foundational skills as an adult. Your data is encrypted, never sold, and your practice history is completely private.
Do I have to take a test to start?
No formal test. Just start practicing. The system figures out your level within the first few problems and continuously adjusts from there.
How much does it cost?
There's a free tier that gives you access to core practice. Premium features (unlimited AI tutoring, all subjects, advanced analytics) are available through subscription, and there's also a pay-as-you-go credits option.
