High Impact in-person and virtual tutoring for school districts

What is High Impact Tutoring?
High-impact tutoring is a type of tutoring designed to provide students with significant learning gains in a short period of time. It typically involves one-on-one or small-group tutoring that is delivered for a minimum of 90-minutes with at least 2 touch points per week. High-impact tutoring is often used to help students who are struggling academically, but it can also be used to help students who are ahead of the curve and want to accelerate their learning.
Are Tutor Partners’ services offered in-person or online?
Tutor Partners provides in-person and virtual tutoring for schools, school districts and nonprofit programs nationwide.
Does HIT happen during the school day only?

Our tutors provide HIT services during the school day, as well as immediately before or after school, and during breaks. HIT is made available to students through their school or nonprofit.

SAT/ACT Prep for high school students

When should my student start SAT/ ACT test prep?
The ideal time to start working on test-taking skills and strategies is the summer after 10th grade.
Do you work with students who have learning challenges?

Yes! We take a holistic approach to supporting students of all backgrounds and needs, including students with learning disabilities and IEPs.

Do you offer a “crash course” to prep for tests scheduled in the near future?

If you have a test scheduled in the next few weeks, we recommend a few a la carte 1:1 sessions and ideally, joining an 8-hour small group to prepare for an upcoming test. Once you have your scores, we’ll recommend a tutoring plan for taking the test again using your first score as a baseline. Contact us to learn more.

Do you guarantee test scores?
No. We don’t promise specific results, knowing that every student learns differently and at their own pace. Instead, we believe that test prep should be done over time so students feel less overwhelmed about the process. Our approach helps students truly build and master skills for the test in the same way that they learned other core skills, like reading, math, or playing an instrument or sport – skills that last a lifetime.

Do you help college students?
Yes! Our subject matter experts are well versed in college curricula, study strategies, and test approaches. Please reach out to connect with a tutor who can help you excel in your area of study.
Do you work with students who have learning challenges?

Yes! Every client’s journey is unique; we work with students with learning challenges, IEPs, executive functioning issues, neurodivergence, and more.

Will Tutor Partners communicate with teachers and school staff?

Yes! Our tutors collaborate with each student’s teachers where appropriate to ensure learning continuity, especially for students with learning challenges and multiple professionals involved in their education.
