How High-Dosage Tutoring Drives Student Success

Learn about the hallmarks of high-dosage tutoring and how The Princeton Review and ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù are utilizing this methodology to help K–12 schools drive student success.

High-dosage tutoring involves regular sessions with small groups of up to four students, meeting three times a week for a full academic term. By endorsed by the Annenberg Institute at Brown University and University of Virginia, high-dosage tutoring with The Princeton Review® and ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù aims to provide targeted support through strong student-tutor relationships.

In contrast to on-demand tutoring, which is episodic or opt-in, high-dosage tutoring is intensive, with a regular cadence, high-quality materials, and ongoing assessments. By focusing on areas where students may have experienced learning loss, such as the gateway subject of algebra, high-dosage tutoring helps bridge learning gaps.

The increased frequency of high-dosage tutoring yields several advantages:

• Close Progress Monitoring: Regular interactions allow tutors to monitor students' progress closely and make timely adjustments to their support strategies.
• Consistent Learning Relationships: Learning is relational, with the same tutor working consistently with small groups of students.
• Personalized Learning: The small group setting facilitates personalized attention and tailored instruction, catering to the unique learning styles and needs of each student.
• Aligned with Learning Goals: Learning objectives are identified and supported by students’ school districts.
• Curriculum Integration: By aligning with curriculum standards, high-dosage tutoring becomes a complementary extension of classroom learning, targeting key areas of need.

A collaborative ethos ensures that tutoring efforts are well-integrated with regular classroom instruction, resulting in an accelerated, achievement-driven learning experience. LEO™, ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù’s award-winning proprietary academic support platform, serves as the central hub for high-dosage tutoring sessions and other offerings. Within this platform, classroom teachers can exchange notes with tutors and monitor students’ progress. Henry Price, the Senior Manager of Training and Curriculum at The Princeton Review and ÎåÒ»²è¹Ý¶ù, , It's a very different kind of setup, and based on extensive research supporting it, we think it's going to be extremely effective.
