UI's high-impact tutoring program follows an evidence-based model designed to boost K-12 students' academic achievement in core content areas. UI instructors work with assigned small groups of students to advance equitable learning recovery. The most significant impact in this model is found when UI instructors are embedded into the school schedule to deliver instruction to groups of three students (or less) for at least 30 minutes per session 3-5 times a week. The consistent relationship between students and instructors is critical to building trust and elevating learning.

This study provides compelling evidence that tutoring can do more than boost test scores; it can actually get students back in the classroom. On average, students were 1.2 percentage points less likely to be absent on days when they were scheduled to receive tutoring, suggesting that they are motivated to participate in tutoring. This impact was even greater for middle schoolers and students who’d missed more than 30% of school days the prior year. The study also found that the design matters: tutoring only improved attendance when it combined at least two evidence-based features like small groups, frequent sessions, and in-school delivery.

A central challenge facing education leaders is allocating limited resources in pursuit of their priorities. Three of their critical resources are time, money, and people. A school's master schedule reflects the allocation of all three of these critical resources and ultimately determines the educational opportunities available to students. A school’s schedule dictates who will be teaching them, what they will be learning, where this learning will take place, and how much instruction they will receive.
Over the past three school years, districts and states have worked to recover the academic ground they lost over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and chip away at stubborn gaps in academic performance. Many turned to high-impact tutoring, a research-based approach to providing individualized instruction to students. In the School Pulse Panel Survey in October, 2024, 78% of responding schools reported having some type of tutoring for students and 37% reported offering high-dosage tutoring or what we refer to as high-impact tutoring.

The second full school year (2023-24) of the OSSE High Impact Tutoring Initiative expanded the reach of an already ambitious program. The Initiative served 7,274 students, approximately 8% of students in DC schools and 12% of students classified at-risk. The Initiative was able to increase participation by 2,000 students from its first year of implementation while also increasing the successful targeting of at-risk students who stand to benefit most from the program. The Initiative also increased the average dosage level to 33.86 sessions. Collectively, this is a significant improvement in program scale and program delivery, ensuring that increases in tutoring continue to serve students who are most in need of potential benefits.
A high impact tutoring initiative in Washington, D.C., showed promise for middle schoolers and those with extreme absenteeism, a new report finds.
Dive Brief:
- One-to-one tutoring can lower absenteeism rates by fostering student-teacher relationships and a sense of belonging, making students more willing to go to school, a recent report from the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University found.
- The study looked at the High-Impact Tutoring Initiative launched in 2021 to provide math and reading tutoring across 141 Washington, D.C., public K-12 schools — with the greatest focus on serving at-risk students.
- The positive effects were particularly strong for middle school students and students with extreme absenteeism rates in the prior year, who were 13.7% and 7% less likely, respectively, to be absent when tutoring sessions were scheduled, the study found.
FEV Tutor further evolved last year when it announced a new AI-enhanced platform, Tutor CoPilot. The tool makes tutors more effective by giving them guiding questions to ask students. In a randomized trial, the National Student Support Accelerator at Stanford University, which studies tutoring models, found that when less-experienced tutors used the AI support, student math scores increased an average of 9 percentage points.
Over the past couple of years, scaling well-researched solutions has been shown to also counter the negative effects of the pandemic, Loeb said, from widening achievement gaps and missed school time, to poorer social and emotional development. Her team recently launched the National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA) to address educational inequities resulting from the pandemic. NSSA conducts research on the most promising tutoring practices and works with district leaders and others to provide research-backed guidance on implementing high-impact tutoring.
“Our students deserve this work,” Loeb said. “From our research, we learn so much about how to engage students and accelerate their learning. The practical, easy-to-use learnings from research need to reach decision makers so that our students can benefit.”
Tips by Text and NSSA are part of SCALE, Loeb’s new initiative at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, a university-wide effort addressing some of the most challenging issues in education through research, partnerships, and technological innovation.
In recent years, school districts across the U.S. have invested in high-impact tutoring as a promising approach to accelerate K12 student learning. Such efforts to scale tutoring have focused on design elements proven to be the most effective on student outcomes, namely consistent instruction from a trained tutor, integration with classroom instruction, tutoring informed by data, using quality curricula, and occurring at least three times per week (Nickow et al., 2024). Studies indicate that effective tutoring programs share these core characteristics, even while they vary in the types of tutors they employ, scheduling strategy, and in-person or virtual delivery model (Cortes et al., 2024; Robinson et al., 2024).
