One method, three cooperative services, designed for your convenience, and focused intently on supporting your child/student.
Our Focus
To Help YOU Teach. EASILY.
At IDMANN, we publish, distribute, and deliver high-impact, customized instructional and developmental materials that support (daily) teaching in formal classrooms, homeschools and homework-support settings.
Individualized Learning
Everyone Learns Differently.
Our primary commitment is to individualized learning. We prepare and deliver the material YOU need for each teaching day, and you simply show up and teach.
Help Has Arrived!
Whether it is your beloved homeschool, the dining table that doubles as a homework desk, or your slightly noisy school classroom, you focus on the student or students in front of you; we handle the background work that makes each day possible.
You Teach, Or We Help You Teach. Same Quality Material.
When appropriate and upon request, we also provide direct tutorial support to help ensure that your tutorial goals are met. At the end of the day, what matters is that your student learns—and remains happy to learn more.
Let Us Be Fair To Teachers.
Drivers are not asked to build their cars every day before driving them. Why should teachers have to build every lesson before teaching it?!
Teachers Come In ALL Stripes.
Whether you are a homeschooling parent, a dutiful parent helping with homework, or you stand in front of a class of eager learners in school every day, we are here to support you.
You're Already Doing A Lot. We Can Help.
We will work together to identify what you are required to teach. Every week, we will deliver your complete instructional package. You simply walk into class and teach. Simple.
Focus On Other Things. Then Walk Into Class. READY To Teach!
Your customized, curriculum-aligned package includes the teaching sequence, explanations, activities, resources, questions, assignments and assessments you need for the week.
Reclaim Your Time.
You review the package. You walk into class (or the dining room - which now feels like ceded territory!). You teach.
(Don't worry, one of these days they'll finish school and move on. For now, let's get through the next lesson. And the one after that!)
Help Just When You Need It.
IDMANN Prepares. You Teach.™
Welcome Relief For Our Beloved Teachers!
Three complementary and cooperative services.
Comprehensive support centered on the Tutorial Target.
Service One: Instructional Materials
Outstanding material supporting daily teaching wherever - and whenever - teaching occurs.
We provide directly supportive instructional material that helps teachers teach (daily) in their respective tutorial environments (dining table, farmstead, classroom, RV, wherever......).
Service Two: Tutorial Coordinators
Principal Tutorial Coordinators and Secondary Tutorial Coordinators supporting continuity of instruction. We can provide Tutorial Coordinators whenever you need them.
We provide Tutorial Coordinators that support the tutorial process. We could provide Principal Tutorial Coordinators (that carry most if not all of the tutorial load) as well as Secondary Tutorial Coordinators (that come in where and when needed to fill in gaps in the availability of the designated Tutorial Coordinator for a class or student - think 'substitute teacher').
Service Three: Digital Instruments
Curated instruments that facilitate teaching, augment learning, accelerate progress and preserve enjoyment (of teaching AND learning!).
We provide an array of highly curated digital tools that AUGMENT and ACCELERATE the learning process for students of all ages - games, language learning modules, math solution engines, etc., etc. These digital tools reinforce the learning and discipline developed in class. But they ensure that learning remains fun!
Our Approach Is Based On The IDMANN Method™

That is how the IDMANN Method works……
Three Services Combined - Seamlessly.
Curated materials, Tutorial Coordinators and digital instruments working cooperatively around the Tutorial Target.
So, What Does The IDMANN Method Do?
Your Time Is Valuable. Very!
Simply put, it relieves you of the time-consuming burden of tutorial preparation so you can focus on why you wanted to teach in the first place: to provide guidance, emotional support and positive curricular experiences for your student or students.
You came to drive the car and deliver your passengers SAFELY—not to build and rebuild the car every weekend in your uncompensated spare time!
Your Students Need YOU.
Let us free up YOUR time, so you can give it to THEM. No one else will do. You and only you. They need MORE of you. Not less. Let us work together to free up that most valuable asset - your time - so you can give them the INDIVIDUALIZED attention they so crave - from you.
The IDMANN Method
We need to restore equity and balance in what we, as teachers, are asked to do weekly.
Let us help you get back to your real joy and passion - teaching. That is exactly what the IDMANN Method does......
Your Students Need YOU. So Does Your Family.
Let us reclaim some of the uncompensated time spent working on preparing tutorial material. Your private life IS important.
Are You Ready To Learn How This Works In Practice?
(It is MUCH simpler than teaching fifth-grade math, that's for sure!)
Step I:
Send Us A Quick Note So We Know How To Reach You.
Just drop us a line and let us know, in rough terms, what your needs are.
Class teacher? Homeschooling parent? Homework-supportive parent? Overzealous Boy Scout out doing good deeds by providing free neighborhood homework lessons? Student in need of tutorial support?
Whoever you are, welcome!
Step III:
Describe Your Needs.
We promise: only a few words will do.
For example: “This sixth-grade math is a bummer!”
Step IV:
We Will Contact You To Learn More About Your Needs And How We Can Help.
This will be a contact from a real person. Not a bot! Promise!
Step V & Beyond:
When We Contact You, Here Is Some Of What We Would Need To Know....
Tutorial Authority
Point Us To The Tutorial Authority.
This might be a school board website that identifies the curricular objectives—or printed material explaining what you need to teach and when.
Tutorial Staging
Tell Us Where You Are In The Process.
Are you beginning a new term? Three weeks into class? Preparing for an examination? We will start wherever you are.
Tutorial Targets
Tell Us About Your Tutorial Target(s)
A single Tutorial Target at home will receive material configured as a TDW-i.
A Tutorial Coordinator teaching a classroom of 20 Tutorial Targets will receive a TDW-c.
An informal learning group will receive a TDW-g.
Each Tutorial Delivery Workbook is configured for the people who will actually use it.
Supplemental Material
Provide Any Additional or Supplemental Material
Upload anything else that will help us understand your specific needs and those of your Tutorial Targets.
Tutorial Pacing
Tell Us About Your Class Schedule
This is vital. Your schedule allows us to establish the correct pacing for your TDW.
Remember what “TDW” stands for?
Tutorial Delivery Workbook. Yes!
TDW Review
Receive and Review Your TDW
We deliver your completed Tutorial Delivery Workbook.
You review it. You prepare for class. You teach.
Periodic Feedback
Tell Us What Happened
Tell us what worked, what did not and what you observed during the tutorial process.
Your feedback helps us improve the next TDW—typically delivered for the following week.
Continuous improvement is an important part of the IDMANN Method.
We ALL—you, your Tutorial Targets and IDMANN—improve OUR process EVERY week.
But sometimes even you cannot be available to engage your Tutorial Target or Targets.
If you need a Secondary Tutorial Coordinator to cover a general subject, fill a specific subject gap or maintain continuity for a defined period, IDMANN provides that support.
We Provide Tutorial Coordinators As Needed.
“I need someone to support my child for two weeks while I am traveling.”
“I want to homeschool, but I do not want to serve as the Tutorial Coordinator.”
Remote Tutorial Support
All tutorial support is delivered remotely through our secure, in-house tutorial-delivery platform.
The platform allows our highly qualified Tutorial Coordinators to interact directly with your student or students and provide the REAL-TIME tutorial support they need.
Fun School Is “Good” School.

Three Cooperative Services.
Instructional Materials. Tutorial Coordinators. Digital Instruments.
Three cooperative services organized around one objective: helping your Tutorial Target learn—and remain happy to learn more.
An Actual Testimonial
“I kept telling myself, ‘It can’t be this easy!’ I had never used GIMP before, but I could teach it easily. The TDW left me no room for anxiety or confusion.”
We Will Go The Distance With You!
Every week, IDMANN prepares your instructional package.
Every interaction helps us prepare you for the following week.
We work together to make the work simpler.
The Next Lesson Is Coming.
Let us help you prepare for it.
Tell Us Where You Are. Tell Us What You Need To Teach. We Will Begin There.
IDMANN Prepares. You Teach.™
One Method. Three Cooperative Services.
IDMANN brings together customized instructional materials, qualified
Tutorial Coordinators and highly curated digital instruments around one
central priority, your child/student (the 'Tutorial Target').
CUSTOMIZED INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
Curriculum-aligned Tutorial Delivery Workbooks containing the teaching
sequences, explanations, activities, resources, questions, assignments
and assessments required for each instructional cycle.
QUALIFIED TUTORIAL COORDINATORS
Principal and Secondary Tutorial Coordinators providing scheduled
remote instruction on a temporary or extended basis—wherever
additional tutorial support is required.
CURATED DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS
Games, language-learning modules, mathematics engines, creative
applications and collaborative tools selected to augment, accelerate
and reinforce learning—while helping learning remain fun.
Each service is valuable independently. Together, they provide comprehensive
support for the Tutorial Target. This is the key to 'The IDMANN Method'.
