Academic research (
like this) confirms that small daily practice is more effective than cramming right before a test.
Elbs also apply to creativity. Look at the
routines of the world’s most renowned artists, and you’ll see they all commit to their craft at least a little bit everyday 👩🎨.
There’s another term for exponential little bits that you may be more familiar with — compound interest.
People typically talk about compound interest in the context of financial investing 📈. But the concept is equally instrumental to our personal growth, like learning a new skill 🧠.
We surveyed high school students and most said they spend 4–6 hours a day doing homework, and not a single one gets the recommended 8 hours of sleep per night.
That kind of schedule is unhealthy and often leads to burnout or even depression. When grades or test scores slip, common knowledge says hire a private tutor. The problem is, humans are flawed. Even if you have a tutor, many kids don’t do their homework between sessions, leading to sub-par improvement curves and more anxiety!
This is why we created Everydae: a digital tutor that helps students ace high school without the stress. Our proprietary
Readiness Score can predict a student’s preparedness based on their goals and study habits. And the algorithms behind it enable us to serve students skills that will maximize improvement in the minimum amount of time.
We use spaced repetition, productive struggle and metacognition to maximize retention of information. And we do it all through 10-minute game-like challenges that students can conveniently complete anytime, anywhere.
Everydae doesn’t just help students boost their grades and test scores. We also build their motivation, confidence and life skills.Watch this 1-minute video to learn more 👇
We’ve been in the education space for 17+ years. Our team has more than 20,000 hours of teaching, tutoring and curriculum development experience, and we’ve written content for (and operated) some of the most respected test prep companies in the world. We even sold one of them in 2018 (

Access to higher education has always been “pay to play,” but we believe a lack of money should not mean a lack of opportunity 🙌.
So we’re giving every high schooler access to a digital SAT tutor that’s much more affordable than a human.More importantly, we’re helping students harness the power of exponential little bits.
Call it an elb; call it compounding interest. Whatever you call it, maximizing your potential starts with a small step, Everydae.
