Evidence on whether tutoring works is settled. It works. The open question is whether we can see what’s happening clearly enough to steadily improve delivery at scale.
Recent evidence from Accelerate’s grant portfolio suggests in-person tutoring may be particularly powerful for boys in early literacy. This is one study so the question is not settled. But it is a signal strong enough to shape what we study next.
Accelerate’s new Synthesis Report shows how quickly the evidence on virtual tutoring is catching up.
In 2024 Accelerate mobilized tens of millions of public and philanthropic dollars to support high-dosage tutoring initiatives across the country. And we’re excited that the year ahead marks our continued commitment to scaling best practices, advancing student learning, and supporting positive life outcomes for our youth.
Research from Johns Hopkins University shows Air Reading’s virtual tutoring model boosts literacy and closes learning gaps for elementary students.
Accelerate is setting rigorous standards for high-dosage tutoring research with Call to Effective Action Program, Quarterly Research Notes.
Individualized instruction consistently outperforms all other educational interventions.
While we are happy to see some overall progress, learning recovery is not nearly fast enough, despite the hard work of teachers and schools.
