Leading virtual instruction provider recognized for its research-based program design, demonstrating its commitment to high-quality, effective tutoring
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tutored by Teachers ("TbT"), a leading provider of personalized virtual instruction, has been awarded the prestigious Tutoring Program Design Badge from the National Student Support Accelerator ("NSSA"). This recognition highlights TbT's commitment to maintaining rigorous standards in tutor selection, program efficacy, and school partnerships. It also supports the company's ongoing expansion as TbT introduces new instructional supports designed to meet the evolving needs of diverse student populations.
Tutored by Teachers' approach stands out for its selection of certified, experienced teachers who receive program-specific training to meet the unique needs of each school. The company also maintains the highest tutor consistency in the industry, believing that the relationship between tutor and student is critical to academic growth. Additionally, TbT is deeply embedded with school partners, working closely with them to select curricular focuses and gathering feedback from parents and students.
"We've built our model on a foundation of research-backed best practices, always with a focus on quality and student outcomes," said Rahul Kalita, co-founder of TbT. "This badge signals that our work is making a difference, and we're committed to providing the most effective tutoring solutions in education."
The NSSA's Tutoring Quality Improvement System ("TQIS") assesses tutoring programs based on their alignment with research-based standards. The Tutoring Program Design Badge recognizes programs that meet these rigorous standards, offering states and districts a signal of program quality. While the badge does not measure program implementation at individual sites, it confirms that the design of TbT's programs adheres to best practices aimed at driving student success.
TbT exemplified its alignment to these research-based standards through its multi-year partnership with Indianapolis Public Schools ("IPS"), which scaled to become one of the country's largest, most innovative, and most successful tutoring programs.
IPS students participating in TbT's personalized learning programs demonstrated meaningful and statistically significant academic growth. Studies of NWEA MAP data demonstrated that students gained over 2 months of additional learning in Math and ELA.
TbT and IPS notably surmounted the 95% problem, with data showing that the majority of kids who needed the instruction received it, and with the right dosage. This also held true for the opt-in program, Tutoring for All, which turned the on-demand model on its head.
Tutoring for All was available for opt-in across the entire district at no cost to students with scheduled, after-school programming. Of the 2,300 students enrolled in the program, nearly 80% identified as students of color.
Students who completed the Tutoring for All program saw a 7-point higher growth percentile on the NWEA Math MAP Assessment and a 5-point higher growth on the NWEA ELA MAP Assessment compared to the district average.
Additionally, students enrolled in Tutoring for All who received free or reduced lunch saw a 10-point higher increase in their growth on both the NWEA Math and ELA assessments.
Shaan Akbar, co-founder of TbT, added, "Our team has always been focused on ensuring every part of our tutoring model is designed with student success at the center. Earning this badge from NSSA is not just a recognition of our program design but of our commitment to setting a new standard for quality in tutoring."
Tutored by Teachers partners with schools nationwide to deliver virtual, personalized learning led by highly qualified and diverse educators. By focusing on closing opportunity and achievement gaps for high-need students, TbT is driving significant student outcomes while also supporting teachers, who have been paid nearly $20 million to date by the company.
