With Common Ground Tutors, students are grouped by skill level into small cohorts of 4 students and receive personal attention during their 45-minute tutoring sessions, three times a week. Students learn best when they develop a long-term relationship with a tutor who knows them well, cares for them, and gives them the personal attention they need. This is key to academic achievement, as well as social-emotional learning. SEL and positive psychology are core guiding principles in all our work, as research shows that SEL is closely linked to improvement in academic performance. Additionally, a whole-child educational philosophy is key to our approach. We begin each session with artistic inspiration: a poem, song, movement exercise, and/or story grounded in wisdom. This engages the whole child in learning: “head, heart, and hands.” Students receive a healing education and build a strong holistic foundation for their future.
This database includes an initial set of organizations that offer tutoring, technology platforms or academic interventions along with relevant information if available. This is not meant to be an inclusive list, but a starting point. We welcome additional organizations to join the database by completing this form.
- Tutoring programs are those organizations that offer one-on-one and/or small group tutoring directly to students, either in-person, virtually, or through both modes of delivery.
- Technology platforms are technology platforms that facilitate tutoring programs.
- Interventions offer materials (e.g., an instructional scope and sequence, placement assessment, progress monitoring tools) that are used by a tutoring program, but do not offer tutoring directly.
This database is intended for Districts, States or nonprofits to identify potential tutoring partners, for potential tutors to identify potential employers and for tutoring organizations to have a clearer understanding of the landscape and to identify interventions that might be useful to their programs, if needed.
Please note that some of these programs are also listed on ProvenTutoring.org where you can find additional information on relevant research studies and costs.

Filo offers schools and students the ability to schedule tutoring sessions in small groups. This allows students to work with a consistent tutor for an extended period of time. Filo works with the district to ensure that the curriculum being presented to students is closely aligned with classroom instruction and state standards. Filo serves a variety of school levels, kindergarten through 12th grade (elementary, middle & high school) and focuses on providing core subject areas (Math, ELA, Reading, Writing, SAT/ACT prep etc. ) tutoring for each of these school types. Key components for our program’s quality standards are: 1) Staffing: Filo will work with the District/School to provide highly qualified tutors who have pedagogical content knowledge required to meet the needs of the students served. 2) Curriculum: Filo collaborates closely with each district we work with to ensure we have the appropriate curriculum materials. We ensure that the curriculum being presented in the tutoring sessions is aligned with the classroom instruction inclusive of formative assessments. 3) Data: Filo understands the importance of using student performance data to customize tutoring to drive student achievement. The Filo customer support teams will meet regularly with LEA staff to review student progress and this performance data will be used to make necessary changes to student lesson plans. 4) Frequency: Filo will work with the District to provide a minimum of three (3) sessions per week for each student, with the recommended maximum ratio of three (3) students to one (1) tutor. 5) Schedule: The Filo customer support team will work closely with the district to provide the high dosage tutoring schedules that work best for the schools and students in the District. Additionally, Filo will also provide on-demand tutoring to these students. These students will have tutoring support available any time they need it. 6) Consistency: Filo will work to provide consistent tutors over time to allow tutors and students to develop positive relationships and allow tutors to get to know the students in their efforts to adopt specific strategies to best serve students from diverse backgrounds and learning needs. Filo tutors go through a comprehensive new-hire training and are only hired if they meet our rigorous requirements to be considered qualified for specific grade level courses. Filo has less than a 3% acceptance rate for tutors along with a 6-step recruitment cycle. We follow a stringent training and onboarding process before hiring a tutor and allowing them to interact with students on our platform. In addition to providing a tutoring platform, implementation and engagement is a key focus for Filo. It is our commitment to move quickly and efficiently with the implementation, once a service plan has been agreed upon. We strongly believe that any time lost in providing additional help to students can lead to the compounding of learning gaps. We work to integrate smoothly within the district technology suite and provide students with easy access to high quality tutoring. Implementation Best Practices followed for all our programs: 1) End-to-end performance tracking to provide statistical evidence of efficacy of the program 2) Work closely with district representatives to drive engagement among students 3) Provide live tracking dashboard to school representatives to provide visibility around student usage and feedback 4) Provide regular detailed reports to school administration with actionable insights classified across schools, grades and students With the above program structure and implementation focus, we have a 100% renewal track record so far, for all our programs.
HeyTutor's program vets, screens, and trains tutors directly from a district's community to serve students live, and in-person on their campus. Our inclusive Learning Gap Curriculum embraces extensive academic standards to provide students with a solid foundation across subjects. It often involves diagnostic assessments to identify learning gaps, followed by resources and activities aimed at closing those gaps and ensuring that all students can achieve the expected learning outcomes. Tutoring is embedded during the school day with push in or pull out sessions or before/after school alongside childcare and enrichment opportunities. HeyTutor can also leverage district curriculum to support in-classroom initiatives.
Our program serves grade 6 - 12 students who:
- Have significant learning gaps or need acceleration in core subjects
- Are in danger of falling behind on meeting academic standards
- Need a confidence boost
How do lessons work?
- You choose the best time and day to deliver the lesson to your students. Let us know the curriculum to follow, and any key learning gaps.
- Students are matched with one of our tutors based on their needs and requirements. Our tutors are friendly, near-peer role models studying at top colleges. They all have recent exam experience and top grades in the subject they teach.
- Students log on to the platform each week, individually, and have a 55-min live lesson with their tutor.
