Academic Recovery: Terms to Know

According to the U.S. Department of Education’s research arm, high-dose tutoring is the most effective—though often the most expensive.
The National Student Support Accelerator, a Stanford University center that studies effective tutoring, finds that effective high-dose tutoring programs require:

  • Tutoring integrated into the school day to increase tutor-teacher coordination and avoid transportation or time problems for students.
  • Targeting students based on academic need rather than requiring parents to opt into services.
  • Budgeting services for at least three to five days a week for extended periods of time.
  • Differentiated tutoring based on particular student needs and skills.
  • Data-gathering and progress-monitoring, particularly when schools work with outside tutoring providers.

The Learning Hustle

Key Features of Our Tutoring Program:

Personalized Approach: We believe that each student has unique learning needs. Our tutors work closely with students to identify their strengths, areas of improvement, and learning styles. This personalized approach ensures that students receive tailored support that meets their specific academic requirements.

Method Learning

Our tutors meet with students to provide one-on-one tutoring in-person (if students are local to our tutors) or virtually. Our own curriculum platform, Methodize, has full-length courses for SAT and ACT prep, College and Career Advising, Financial Literacy, Academic Success, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Students can work through these self-paced courses on their own or in a group, and our tutors can use these curricula or work through a student's own questions during that student's time with a tutor.

We offer online 1-on-1 and small group sessions in any subject, primarily reading and math. We typically host biweekly 1-hour sessions with a personalized pairing with a tutor. We offer 2 free hour-long trial sessions to any new members. We also offer a scholarship fund that anyone can donate to and helps cover the costs of students in need.
