High-impact tutoring is an effective, evidence-based practice best delivered during the school day to align with curricula and ensure attendance. However, when logistical barriers make in-school programs difficult, after-school tutoring can serve as a rigorous and impactful alternative for student success.

The Chicago Board of Education authorized a new agreement for the tutoring program partnership between Chicago Public Schools and Saga Education at its July 30, 2026 meeting. Saga will provide high-impact math tutoring to 1,800 students across the district in the 2026-2027 school year.

The State Partnership for Proven Programs offers Oklahoma school districts matching philanthropic funding to implement Saga's evidence-based math tutoring. Research shows Saga raises state test scores by over 70 percent of a grade level — and districts like Moore Public Schools are already seeing the difference.

Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new partnership is emerging to support the education of young Ukrainian students. This summer, Saga Education partnered with Teach for Ukraine to deliver high-quality, live-online math tutoring to dozens of Ukrainian students.

David Fanning, Principal of A. Philip Randolph High School in Harlem, recently spoke with Saga Education about the impact he has seen through implementing Saga’s high-impact tutoring program.

High-impact tutoring is a proven solution for learning loss and addressing educational gaps in underserved schools. Students and school districts alike benefit from implementing high-impact tutoring in the classroom.
