High-impact tutoring has been proven to provide significant learning gains for students in need. The National Student Support Accelerator led by the Annenberg Institute at Brown University has identified five program characteristics that have proven to accelerate learning, including:
Substantial tutoring time with multiple sessions per week, which includes access to tutoring delivered during the school day sessions that supplement, and do not replace, classroom instruction
Sustained and strong relationships between students and tutors
Close monitoring of student knowledge and skills
Alignment with school curriculum
Training and oversight of tutors to assure quality interactions
