With “proper supports, such as good materials and coaching, they can be excellent tutors,” said Stanford professor Susanna Loeb, who founded the National Student Support Accelerator to expand access to high-quality tutoring.
The content and design of this Resource Library draws on insights from interviews with tutoring program directors, teachers, math directors, STEM directors and other math leaders, as well as from a literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles on math teaching, tutoring, and equitable teaching practices.
The goal of this guide is to provide resources to help tutoring programs provide effective math tutoring for students in need.
Are you a college or university leader looking to improve opportunities for your students?

The grant will be housed in colleges and universities across New York State and will be responsible for recruiting, hiring, and training college students to serve as tutors.
Launches the New Mexico Math Tutoring Corps in January of 2023. The statewide tutoring initiative provides math tutoring for 8th-12th grade students with a significant focus on Algebra 1. Virtual tutoring includes a 1:5 tutor to student ratio for 45 minute sessions, three days a week. The New Mexico State Department of Education will be responsible for the hiring, onboarding, and training of eligible tutors. A portion of training consists of a review of the SAGA curriculum that is implemented in sessions.
Proposes the establishment of the High Efficiency Accelerated Learning (HEAL) Grant Program and the Tutoring Advisory Commission.
