The True Impact of High-Dosage Tutoring

When it comes to tutoring, there are a few key guidelines to follow in order to make your sessions the most effective. Studies have shown that one of the best ways to get the most benefit from your tutoring sessions is to follow a high-impact approach. This allows the student to see the most success from dedicated learning sessions and helps the tutor support their client in achieving success. In this article, we will explore the true impact high-dosage tutoring has on students.

Frequency Is Key 

One of the most fundamental attributes associated with high-dosage tutoring is the frequency of sessions. Consistency is key when it comes to helping students truly absorb information and retain academic skills. One study shows that the most effective tutoring occurs three or more times a week, for about 30 to 60 minutes per session. To get the most meaningful gains, prioritize the frequency of tutoring blocks.

Group Tutoring Is Effective, Too!

Despite popular belief, group tutoring is just as effective as one-on-one learning sessions. Not only that, but group tutoring can be a more effective way to help multiple students, while also keeping costs low for parents and guardians. Allowing students to collaborate in a safe space learning cohort can be extremely beneficial to their individual development.

Learning Loss Reduction

High-dosage tutoring has also been shown to prevent learning loss. Learning loss occurs when a student masters a specific topic or scale, only to lose it shortly after an exam or a study session. High-impact tutoring allows the student to absorb information better so that they can build upon skills covered during tutoring blocks.

Progress Tracking 

High-dosage tutoring also makes it easier for tutors to track a student's progress. If a student is trying to cram for a standardized test or classroom exam or try to catch up as a result of falling behind due to the pandemic, or other external reasons, high-dosage tutoring will allow both the student and tutor two more accurately track progress.

School-Hour Tutoring 

High-dosage, tutoring has also been shown to be most effective when done during school hours. This means that your student should be engaged in tutoring sessions during the typical school day, between the hours of eight and three.
