In the new normal, online and mobile learning is more than a convenience. It's a necessity. Learners want the right help WHEN and WHERE they need it.
Relatable Learning delivers state-of-the-art skill building for college and adult learners
Many of today's learners struggle to complete college and career coursework. With additional barriers and uncertainties resulting from COVID-19, more students need relevant, timely and effective help to master the basic reading, writing, and math skills.
We deliver on what matters to students!
Minutes matter
Time is precious. Ten minutes is an opportunity to check something out on the phone, make a list, finally try to understand that thing, practice for that test, prepare for an interview. Get it done. Ready to go ⏤ on the mobile phone or any computer ⏤ at the coffee shop, on the train, at home while taking care of others.
Relevance matters
Relatable, meaningful instruction in context. Academic assistance that is available exactly when and where needed for understanding and progress ⏤ in online assignments, coursework, and training. Why skills matter and how to apply them in real-world situations.
Individual preference matters
No two learners are the same. Most have strong opinions about how they like to learn. Some just need to refresh. Others need to start at square one. Some are good readers; others are good at math. Some prefer playing a game. Some like to work through everything that's available. What's important is welcoming everyone to the party ⏤ engaging all kinds of learners, empowering their choices and motivating them to improve.
Keeping on track matters
Mastering foundational skills ⏤ critical thinking, reading, speaking, and writing ⏤ is not just about getting a good grade in one assignment or in one course. It's about building strong personal competencies for seizing opportunities and conquering the challenges ahead in life and work. And students know this. That's why they work hard to stay on track and move toward their goals.
Building confidence matters
No one goes from novice to expert overnight. It takes time, practice, and a supportive environment. Whatever the problem is ⏤ a grammar mistake, using a math formula, or writing a topic sentence ⏤ relevant feedback and encouragement are essential for confidence. And confident students are successful students.

Our story
Our founding team led design and development of the most widely used online learning product in US higher education ⏤ MyMathLab from Pearson
Relatable Learning was started by Mary Ann Perry in early 2019, following successful completion of a 4-year higher education innovation project that was funded by a US Department of Education First in the World grant.
Today's Relatable Learning JUICE platform is based on the original grant charter to re-imagine and research an effective, scalable alternative to conventional academic remediation ⏤ to measurably improve academic outcomes for underserved and non-traditional students pursuing postsecondary credentials and degrees.
Research results The results of randomized control trial research study and extensive pilot testing provide compelling evidence that JUICE offers a welcome and effective new approach to help online learners acquire and refresh critical academic skills in the context of regular coursework and assignments. We know this from the high levels of voluntary student engagement and usage, along with strong evidence of increased student re-enrollment (retention) for the ones who actively engaged with JUICE Learning resources during the 12-month research period:
-
11% higher retention for all JUICE users
-
17% higher retention for JUICE users age 26 and older
