  • 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.

For nearly 20 years, Aspire has collaborated with fellow Bay Area education nonprofits and schools to design customized programs that empower historically underserved students to reach greater academic results and achievement levels. Tutoring programs take place during the school day in-class or after-school in partnership with other programs (such as Girls Inc or Boys & Girls Club). While many of our programs typically deal with the SAT, ACT, or high school entrance exams, our specialists provide academic support in all subjects.


Our goal is to get all participants at grade-level proficiency or above in math and/or reading. We accomplish this via small-group tutoring for grades PK4-12 in in-school, after-school, summer, and virtual programs targeted primarily at low-performing schools and students in South Dallas and surrounding communities. Students receive individualized attention, achieve academic mastery in core subjects, and show demonstrable proof of applied learning that will ensure their academic success in middle school, high school, and beyond. Each student is assessed, followed by the development of a customized learning plan. Certified professionals, assisted by trained volunteers, provide two to three hours of weekly tutoring using integrated exercises, workbooks, and storybooks. Students develop self-discipline, focus, and ability as they progress at their own pace; promoting confidence in their own abilities.

Volunteers are matched with students in small groups to develop a trusting, relationship and to engage in structured activities, often around classroom or homework-related topic. Inspiring Minds views tutoring as the direct and clearly defined work to support the student's academic skill development and mentoring as the more indirect work aimed at cultivating caring, positive relationships which will boost student confidence and promote academic achievement.

Characteristics of the Typical Low-Achieving Learner: Literacy-based programming for participants offers hope for reversing the trend of poor student achievement. It hails from cognitive science and reading development research which connects learning and reading as a route to higher-than-expected achievement among participants with poor comprehension skills and competence. Typically, the low-achieving student can be described broadly as a typical novice learner; for him or her, traditional approaches to learning do not work. Oftentimes, he (or she) is a student having trouble constructing meaning from text, the primary mechanism traditional schools use to teach Participants content and skill. These are Participants who are unable to connect the dots and construct meaning from text and they lack the critical capabilities to engage as thinkers while in the process of reading or learning. For them the experience is a once over unfocused activity with little emerging as more important than anything else. 


Despite targeted efforts in the classroom and schoolwide learning interventions in school, low-achieving participants make limited or stagnant progress as learners and as readers. Cognitive science research indicates that such a learner lacks metacognition, a capability to monitor and regulate a person's thinking processes. Lacking in metacognition, the learner is also lacking in two critically important sub-skills: (a) comprehension monitoring and (b) comprehension fostering capabilities, skills that more capable learners take for granted and that are critical to constructing meaning and thereby comprehension. The importance of students' developing meta-cognitive awareness is paramount to their development as readers and as writers. Why? Because metacognition is the critical BUT missing ingredient among most low performing participants that is required to transform them into better learners, more aware learners, more capable learners. 
 


Reading Corps combines the people power of AmeriCorps and the science of how children learn to read. Trained AmeriCorps members are placed in early learning centers and elementary schools statewide to serve as literacy tutors for children from age 3 to grade 3. Tutors work with children one-on-one and in small groups daily, providing literacy interventions that are tailored to each learner's needs.

Reading Power provides one-to-one literacy tutoring for children in prekindergarten through second grade.

Start Making a Reader Today® (SMART®) is a volunteer program widely implemented in Oregon for students in grades preK-3 who are at risk of reading failure. The program is designed to be a low-cost, easy-to-implement intervention. Volunteer readers go into schools where at least 40% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and read one-on-one with students twice a week for half an hour. Typically, one volunteer works with two children on four types of activities: reading to the child, reading with the child, re-reading with the child, and asking the child questions about what has been read. The program also gives each student two new books a month to encourage families to read together.


Springboard's recipe for impact is a method we call Family-Educator Learning Accelerators (or FELAs). FELAs are 5-10-week cycles during which teachers and parents team up to help kids reach learning goals. Programming combines personalized reading instruction for PreK-3rd graders, weekly workshops training parents as reading coaches, and professional development for educators.


Brown University's online tutoring program is a free resource and service for all students of current partner K-12 schools offered through the Annenberg Institute, the Swearer Center and Tutor Matching Services. The Annenberg Institute's mission is rooted in conviction that improved educational equality leads to enriched opportunities for children and youth, ultimately contributing to more just and flourishing societies. Coupled with the Swearer Center's foundational components: community engagement, engaged scholarship, and social innovation, we strongly believe this program will have positive implications including higher graduation rates, higher rates of matriculation into a four-year university, higher grades on standardized testing, more positive attitude towards school and life, and higher self-esteem.
