Pre-Med Tutors

Pre-Med Tutors is a service that matches students with tutors. These tutors are what we call "pre-meds"--either undergraduate students, recent graduates, or medical students who desire to work as doctors, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, etc. As such, we have a passion for science, math, learning, teaching, and mentoring. We want to make a difference and strive for perfection.

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination)

AVID offers tutoring that is:
  1. Structured: A process of repeatable steps allows for consistency across models; teachers, tutors, and students are trained on, reflective of, and continually coached in that process.
  2. Student-Centered and Safe: All tutorial models are built on a foundation of relational capacity so that students feel supported while seeking solutions.
  3. Inquiry-Based: Tutors and peers ask higher-order questions instead of offering answers.
  4. Collaborative: Peers use their collective agency to resolve points of confusion and support each other.

As Schools Push for More Tutoring, New Research Points to Its Effectiveness — and the Challenge of Scaling it To Combat Learning Loss

During the two years that COVID-19 has upended school for millions of families, education leaders have increasingly touted one tool as a means of compensating for lost learning: personalized tutors. As a growing number of state and federal authorities pledge to make high-quality tutoring available to struggling students, a new study demonstrates positive, if modest, results from an experimental pilot that launched last spring.
