What Is High-Dosage Tutoring?

In-person tutoring has consistently shown to enhance student outcomes through many research studies. This effective approach involves small-group sessions, where the curriculum is strategically aligned with academic standards and facilitated by trained tutors.

Contrary to being remedial, high-dosage tutoring is centered around scaffolding educational content. This method enables students to engage with new concepts while simultaneously reinforcing and expanding their existing knowledge and skills.

HeyTutor demonstrates significant growth across grades K-12 in all districts for Math and ELA.

In the 2024–2025 school year, 4404 students participated in math HeyTutor tutoring, and 4247 students participated in ELA HeyTutor tutoring. Of the math students, the number testing at or above grade level grew 51.32% from beginning-to-end of program. For ELA students, this grew by 53.96%.
