Tutoring has been well established as a successful learning intervention for students who are struggling with content or are below proficiency in certain skills. By utilizing another adult to support intervention, students are able to catch up and see growth. This rings true for anything from homework help to high-stakes assessment preparation to early literacy support.
However, traditional opt-in access to tutoring services can be highly inequitable. While on-demand or “just in time” tutoring does help, adoption is often lower than planned, and struggling or marginalized students are less likely to access these resources.
