High-Impact Tutoring: Bridging Achievement Gaps
Discover How High-Impact Tutoring Can Accelerate Learning and Close Achievement Gaps.
What Is High Impact Tutoring?
High-impact tutoring is a proven, evidence-based strategy designed to accelerate learning recovery and address achievement gaps. This highly effective approach provides personalized, targeted instruction tailored to each student’s unique learning style and needs.
By focusing on individualized support, high-impact tutoring helps students regain lost learning, improve academic performance, and build confidence in key subject areas. Schools and districts nationwide are turning to this method as a trusted solution to boost student outcomes and close learning disparities.
Who is High Impact Tutoring For?
High-impact tutoring is designed for all students but is especially effective for those struggling to meet grade-level expectations. This evidence-based approach prioritizes lower-performing students to close learning gaps and improve outcomes in key areas like math and reading.
It also supports advanced learners seeking enrichment. Ideal for schools and districts, especially in underserved communities, high-impact tutoring provides personalized instruction tailored to each student’s needs, ensuring equitable opportunities for academic success.
How Does High Impact Tutoring Work?
High-impact tutoring works through frequent, intensive 1-to-1 or small-group sessions led by a qualified tutor who builds a consistent, long-term relationship with the student. Sessions are held several times a week, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes, ensuring students receive consistent support to accelerate learning.
Tutors use data-driven approaches, incorporating assessments and classroom performance to guide instruction and focus on key areas of need. High-impact tutoring aligns with school curriculum and state standards, reinforcing what students are learning in the classroom while targeting foundational skills in core subjects like math and literacy.

What Does The Research Say?
“Tutoring is most likely to be effective when delivered in high doses through tutoring programs with three or more sessions per week, with sessions that last for about 30-60 minutes per day, or intensive, week-long, small- group programs taught by talented teachers.”
“Most effective tutoring programs last for at least 10 weeks, but many last for the entire school year.”
According to the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab at MIT:
“In 2020, a meta-analysis of 96 tutoring students concluded that high-impact tutoring can help students make up three-to-fifteen months of lost learning – which makes it an ideal option for school districts nationwide that are still strategizing how to help their students rapidly recover lost learning.”
“For all grade levels, increasing tutoring frequency from one or two sessions per week to three sessions per week benefits student learning. Tutoring programs that provide three sessions per week generate an effect size of 0.37 standard deviations.”
