Tutors2Teachers

The Tutor2Teacher program integrates rigorous academic and practical experiences to inspire, cultivate, and educate an AI-literate teacher pipeline while addressing district needs for improved student outcomes. T2T brings together classroom teachers as mentors and high school students as tutor-apprentices, creating a collaborative ecosystem where experienced educators guide high schoolers in building the skills and expertise necessary to support struggling learners in their districts.

iEducate

iEducate partners with local Houston area schools and districts to provide High Impact Tutoring on Title 1 campuses leveraging college students as tutors. Our Programs team works closely with school leadership and staff to implement our Tier I (classroom) and Tier II (pullout) models in alignment with High Impact Tutoring, as well as provide quality, ongoing instructional coaching to tutors through observation debriefs and regular professional development.

Tutoring may not significantly improve attendance

In early 2024, initial reports indicated that tutoring might not only help kids catch up academically after the pandemic but could also combat chronic absenteeism. More recent research, however, suggests that prediction may have been overly optimistic.

Stanford University researchers have been studying Washington, D.C.’s $33 million investment in tutoring, which provided extra help to more than 5,000 of the district’s 100,000 students in 2022-23, the second year of a three-year tutoring initiative. When researchers looked at these students’ test scores, they found minimal to modest improvements in reading or math.

“We weren’t seeing a ton of big impacts on achievement,” said Monica Lee, one of the Stanford researchers. “But what we were seeing at that point in time were promising findings that the tutoring might be doing something for attendance.”

Beyond Basics

Beyond Basics provides one-on-one, phonics-based literacy tutoring. We work with school staff to identify which students are in need of intervention. We then administer a diagnostic assessment that indicates where the student struggles with reading. They are then paired with a tutor who will work with them individually for the duration of the program. Our assessments allow the tutor to create personalized lesson plans geared toward the child's unique learning needs. The student and tutor meet five days per week, for an hour each day during school hours.

District of the Year: Ector County ISD

In the past five years, the Texas district’s investments in staffing and high dosage tutoring are paying off.

That’s why the district piloted a virtual tutoring program in the 2020-21 school year. Middle school students were the first to participate. In spring 2021, the live virtual tutoring program expanded to serve 6,000 students in K-12, he said.

That same spring, Ector County ISD designated $10 million of its $93 million in federal pandemic relief funds to tutoring over the next three years, according to a report by university-based research nonprofits FutureEd and the National Student Support Accelerator.
