30 adult tutors provide 40 hours per week of math and reading tutoring in one-on-one or small group sessions to children from pre-K to 4th grade, covering 13 classrooms in 2 schools that serve a population of 300 children with very mixed socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.
We are a small family-owned tutoring organization and our company was founded by a former private education director. We've created a much better alternative to learning centers that aren't customized to the student's individual needs. We focus on families who are looking for a higher level of customer service and who would benefit from one-to-one instruction.
We are a college-associated tutoring and academic success center which provides free tutoring for all Bellevue College students. In addition to our free tutoring support, we also support faculty in implementing evidence-based embedded tutoring.
We provide an end-to-end solution for high impact tutoring and virtual alternative provision by hiring, training, deploying, quality-assuring, and retraining professional tutoring staff to ensure that over 80% of our enrolled students increase a minimum of one grade in a 15-week period.

Today, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) shared early findings from a study that shows high-impact tutoring (HIT) has positive attendance benefits for DC students. The preliminary findings from research conducted by the National Student Support Accelerator at Stanford University provide evidence that DC students participating in HIT were more likely to attend school on days they had a tutoring session scheduled. While the comprehensive results of this study will be published later, these initial findings highlight the potential of HIT to support stronger school attendance.
“HIT is a research-based intervention that has long been available for higher-income families. Our investment is helping level the playing field of access, and we are seeing it pay off. HIT is helping to reinforce the importance and power of consistent, positive relationships with students and the adults who support them at school,” said State Superintendent of Education Dr. Christina Grant. “These early findings show us what we would expect from this evidence-based intervention – one-on-one and small group, personalized high-impact tutoring sessions that are grounded in strong relationships have benefits that extend beyond improved math and literacy scores.”
High-quality tutoring programs not only get students up to speed in reading and math, they can also reduce absenteeism, a new study shows.
Focused on schools in Washington, D.C., the preliminary results show middle school students attended an additional three days and those in the elementary grades improved their attendance by two days when they received tutoring during regular school hours.
But high-impact tutoring —defined as at least 90 minutes a week with the same tutor, spread over multiple sessions — had the greatest impact on students who missed 30% or more of the prior school year. Their attendance improved by at least five days, according to the study from the National Student Support Accelerator, a Stanford University-based center that conducts tutoring research.
