High-Impact Tutoring (HIT), a unique educational approach, is led by trained tutors who conduct small group sessions during the school day. With a 1:3 tutor-to-student ratio, this personalized attention supplements classroom instruction, helping students build confidence, master challenging subjects, and achieve their academic goals. Importantly, this is all achieved without the need for household resources or arranging tutoring outside of school hours.
Overcoming learning loss and bridging educational gaps can be complex. There are many approaches to address these issues, but most have not been successful. However, high-impact tutoring has not only proven effective, but has received national attention as a uniquely effective approach to helping struggling students succeed. Whether your students are experiencing learning loss due to the pandemic, or are affected by educational gaps and socio-economic barriers to learning, Saga Education can help bring them up to grade-level and improve academic performance, while instilling positive learning habits.
The research is clear: our approach to high-impact tutoring can significantly impact academic outcomes, particularly for students who are struggling in traditional classroom settings. Studies published in the Northwestern EdWorkingPapers, The Education Trust, NBER Working Papers, and a preprint on SocArXiv all highlight the importance of consistent relationships, small group sessions, and data-driven approaches in improving academic outcomes through high-impact tutoring.
We’re committed to using evidence-based practices to support our students. Our tutors are well-trained in high-quality, standards-aligned curricula and receive ongoing feedback and professional development to ensure they’re supported during their tenure. We also prioritize communication and coordination between educators, tutors, and school leaders and use interim assessments to monitor student progress and ensure our tutoring is making a real impact on academic outcomes.
Most importantly, our program is designed with the needs and experiences of all students in mind. We know many students face significant barriers to academic success and we’re committed to providing a supportive and empowering environment where they can thrive.
We want to see students from all backgrounds succeed. Incorporating high-impact tutoring into educational strategies makes that possible. At Saga Education we’re proud to lead the way in this critical work, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with educators and administrators across the country to make a real difference in the lives of our students.
