Nerdy Investor Update - Back to School Briefing In recent weeks, we’ve received an uptick in investor questions about how demand is trending this back-to-school season, and how this demand compares to previous school years. Investors have also asked about the impact of Covid-related reopening challenges on the demand for supplemental learning. We wanted to share a brief snapshot of what we are seeing in the macro environment as well as in our business: •    As school districts go back to school across the country, we are experiencing region-by-region waves of heightened levels of demand for tutoring and supplemental learning support compared to the same period one and two years ago, respectively (as seen in the below charts). • As school districts face learning loss challenges, as well as unexpected COVID-related reopening issues, we are hearing from more administrators who are in need of district-wide solutions to manage disruptions. We recently announced Varsity Tutors for Schools to address these challenges, which can be viewed here.    Back to School Demand Trends Following school districts returning to “normal” instruction, Nerdy is experiencing surging waves in students inquiring about tutoring and supplemental instruction on a region-by-region basis.These regional increases are directly related to the return of school openings in that geography. This consumer inquiry volume is both nominally higher and increasing at a faster pace than we experienced in 2019 and 2020 for each of the first four waves of start dates. We attribute this increase in demand for tutoring to two factors: first, the significant learning loss students have endured over the past year, and second, the expectation and reality that grades and scholastic performance matter once again in the 2021-2022 school year. While many school districts adopted a pass / fail system in the school year 2020-2021, this year students of all ages are once again being held accountable for their grades and test scores, which is pulling through to the increased need for supplemental learning. The increases have come in the following waves: Wave 1: School Start Date August 5 Or Earlier Tutoring Inquiries1 for Wave 1 Cities (Atlanta, Phoenix, Albuquerque & 5 Other Cities) +67% YoY (Summer Break) Start of School Year 2021 Inquiries 2020 Inquiries 2019 Inquiries 5/30 6/13 6/27 7/11 7/25 8/8 8/22 9/5 9/19 [https://www.nerdy.com/press-articles/2021/live-tutoring-solutions-for-schools]

Schools Facing New COVID-related Challenges The Delta variant is having an immediate and unexpected impact on the new school year, and driving national headlines daily about how administrators are struggling to cope with the latest round of COVID-related challenges: At least 90,000 students have had to quarantine because of COVID-19 so far this school year The disruptions have caused uncertainty for parents, students and school districts that had hoped to resume in-person instruction after a year marked by lockdowns and virtual learning. The staggering number of K-12 students under quarantine is largely driven by the highly infectious delta variant that has taken hold as the dominant strain in the U.S. Link: The Hill Many predicted some kind of ‘Covid slide’ in learning. Test results show how bad it is Tumbling test scores reveal how much learning was not absorbed by students driven to virtual schooling when their classrooms were closed overnight, often staying shut for over a year. As school buildings finally reopen to in-person learning across the country, teachers and administrators are looking at how to get back on track.

Pandemic contributes to nationwide teacher shortages Districts nationwide are facing similar problems. Nearly 30% of National Education Association members say the pandemic has led them to plan on leaving teaching earlier than expected. Nearly all 50 states reported shortages for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Education. CBS News New Solutions Specifically Designed for School Districts In August, Nerdy announced new solutions designed to help school districts manage COVID-19-related disruptions and learning loss. The new offerings, which we call Varsity Tutors for Schools, builds on the company’s existing services, with a specific focus on providing K-12 institutions with near-instant and direct access to district-wide supplementary live instruction, including: Quarantine Support: When schools face temporary closures or group quarantines, the company will match impacted students with 1-on-1 tutors and quarantine support groups in as little as 24 hours.
