STUDENT SUCCESS

High-Dosage Tutoring and the Powerful Partnership of Tutor.com and The Princeton Review®

Learn about the synergy of two education giants in the development of high-dosage tutoring, a research-backed tutoring program.

In the ever-evolving world of education, it's crucial to identify effective interventions that will help students succeed academically. High-dosage tutoring, a research-backed program to help students make accelerated learning gains, is powered by the strengths of Tutor.com and The Princeton Review, two education giants with a combined 65-year track record of promoting student achievement.

The best of both worlds

The Princeton Review has been synonymous with gold-standard test prep and college admissions success for more than four decades. We have long known that standardized tests measure just one thing—how well students do on standardized tests. And we have developed best-in-class test prep to help learners earn admission and merit-based financial aid at their dream colleges. Tutor.com helps schools scale equitable student support by providing expert tutoring with proven instructional methodologies that align with classroom learning—for 25 million sessions and counting. Our high-dosage tutoring program draws on the expertise of both companies and utilizes our award-winning technology.

Research-based approach

High-dosage tutoring is not just a catchy phrase—the hallmarks of high-dosage tutoring are backed by extensive research from the Annenberg Institute at Brown University. The program has six key characteristics:

• Frequency: Tutorials are delivered three times a week, integrated into the school day.
• Small group instruction: Groups consist of two to four students, ensuring personalized attention.
• Assessments: Formative and summative assessments enable teachers to chart learner progress, and help tutors tailor students’ Personalized Learning Plans.
• Alignment with state standards: The program supports each school’s learning goals and can work seamlessly with any district in the United States.
• High-quality content: The program is curriculum-driven, using The Princeton Review’s expert-created instructional materials—or the curriculum of the school partner.
• Relational learning: Each tutorial group maintains a consistent tutor to foster relational learning between the tutor and students.
