What is high impact tutoring?

High-impact tutoring is personalized, targeted instruction that can lead to significant learning gains. Amplify Tutoring achieves these gains through the following best practices:

High-quality
materials

Tutors use high-quality reading and math lessons that are proven to work. You’ll see real progress and growth through your child’s individual data.

Frequent and consistent high-impact
tutoring sessions

Tutors provide personalized support and instruction. Our program is designed for students to participate in three or more 30-minute sessions per week.

Supportive relationships and training

Consistent tutor-student pairings support relationship-building and higher achievement. Tutors receive ongoing professional development.

Amplify Tutoring is thrilled to provide your student with engaging and effective tutoring programming throughout the year.

Minutes matter

Every minute counts in helping your child learn and grow. To get the most out of tutoring, it’s important they come on-time and attend regularly. Here are a few quick reminders:

How you can help your child get the most from tutoring:

  1. Make tutoring days a priority. Try your best to make sure your child is at school on tutoring days. Every session helps them grow!
  2. Ask for the tutoring schedule. Reach out to your child’s teacher or the tutoring coordinator to find out the days and times for tutoring.
  3. Plan around tutoring time. If you can, schedule appointments and other activities at different times so your child doesn’t miss a session.
  4. Communicate with your child’s teacher. If your child can’t make it to tutoring, just let the teacher or coordinator know so they can support them.

Talking to your student about their Amplify Tutoring sessions

Discuss tutoring with your student at home or while getting ready for the day. To support their learning, you may consider:

Celebrating progress

Ask:

  • What is something you are learning in tutoring right now? 
  • What part of tutoring has helped you the most?
  • Do you have any favorite activities in tutoring?

Setting goals together

Ask:

  • What goal would you like to achieve by the end of the tutoring program?
  • What steps can you take to help achieve those goals? 
  • How can I help support your goals?

Sharing your support

Ask:

  • Can we set aside time each day for you to practice your skills?
  • What was the most interesting part of your tutoring session? 
  • What do you feel proud of achieving in this week’s sessions? 
  • When did you feel really excited about what you were learning?

Tutoring impacts

Amplify Tutoring works for students who need it most! In one large study of Amplify Literacy Tutoring in action, 70 percent of students who scored below benchmark and participated regularly in Amplify Tutoring made above-average growth. Tutored students were 22 percentage points more likely to make outsized growth than peers with a similar profile who did not receive high-impact literacy tutoring at their school. Amplify Math Tutoring has also shown to improve student math achievement. After 15 weeks of math tutoring, third through fifth grade students improved more than 15% on Number and Operations questions on their post-assessment. 

By providing targeted support tailored to individual needs, Amplify Tutoring ensures that students receive the assistance they need and deserve.
