Growing comprehension and independence
Successful tutoring empowers students with content knowledge and strategies that foster a sense of autonomy and responsibility for their own learning. Our tutors tailor their instruction to each student's unique learning needs while simultaneously targeting areas for additional support. Tutors employ scaffolding and Socratic questioning to encourage students to grapple with the material, promoting self-reliance and a deeper understanding of their own learning style.
Engaging students in learning
Engaged students embrace learning. Our high-dosage tutoring model focuses on engaging students and facilitating active student participation. During sessions, learners solve problems and interact independently with the content. By empowering students to take the lead in their learning journey, tutors not only cultivate a sense of ownership, but also enable students to embrace challenges and grow from them.
Managing a tutoring session effectively
When the objective is to produce significant, accelerated learning gains, every minute counts. High-dosage tutoring sessions typically last between 30 to 45 minutes. Through careful planning, organization, and adaptability, tutors manage sessions to maximize productivity and understanding, pacing the group’s time together to keep students engaged, address needs that arise, and stay on track with the curriculum.
Strategizing appropriately
Strategizing involves identifying the best approach for each student based on their individual needs and pace of learning. Analyzing data from ongoing summative and formative assessments allows tutors to pinpoint areas of student need and implement targeted interventions.
