The Science Behind High-Dosage Tutoring
Key Research Findings
Tutoring and Student Outcomes
A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that students who received high-dosage tutoring experienced significant improvements in math and reading scores, often equivalent to several months of learning in just a few weeks of tutoring.
Research published in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis highlights that frequent, intensive tutoring can close the achievement gap for underperforming students.
Personalization and Academic Growth
Studies from the Journal of Educational Psychology indicate that personalized learning plans, informed by continuous assessment, are critical to student success. High-dosage tutoring tailored to individual needs can result in up to twice the academic gains compared to traditional instruction.
Impact on Diverse Learners
Research from The Learning Policy Institute shows that high-dosage tutoring is particularly effective for students from low-income families and those with learning disabilities, helping to level the educational playing field.
