NEW YORK – Tutor.comone of the world's largest and most innovative online tutoring organizations, announced that it meets the Level II (Moderate Evidence) requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Law (ESSA) for their on-demand tutoring services.
The findings come from a effectiveness study independently designed and realized by LearnPlatform by Instructure, a third-party educational technology research company. The results of the study show four statistically significant favorable results for El Monte Union High School District students who used Tutor.com, compared to demographically similar non-users. Highlights include:
– Students who used Tutor.com earned higher GPAs. Students who used Tutor.com earned higher GPAs in the spring semester compared to those who did not use it (3.02 vs. 2.87), and the difference was statistically significant.
– Students who used Tutor.com earned fewer Ds and Fs. Students who used Tutor.com earned fewer Ds and Fs in the spring semester compared to those who did not use it (0.72 vs. 0.91 on average per student), and the difference was statistically significant.
– Students who completed more Tutor.com sessions had fewer absences. Students who completed more than 20 sessions had fewer absences than students who completed 3 to 20 sessions, and even fewer than students who completed 1 or 2 sessions (5.14 absences due to high Tutor.com usage vs. 6 .42 for medium use and 8.62 for low use). ), and these differences were statistically significant.
– Students who participated in more total minutes of Tutor.com tutoring had fewer absences. Students who completed more than 300 minutes of Tutor.com tutoring had fewer absences compared to students who completed between 1 and 60 minutes of tutoring (5.42 absences vs. 8.30), and the difference was statistically significant.
The study showed positive results from on-demand tutoring, a service Tutor.com has provided for more than two decades. Together with High dose tutoringAn evidence-based intervention that Tutor.com and its affiliate The Princeton Review® launched earlier this year, on-demand tutoring can be used as an effective tool to improve a district's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) .
“This study confirms what we and the millions of students we serve have known for a long time,” said Sandi White, institutional director of Tutor.com and The Princeton Review. “Students consistently tell us that Tutor.com is helping them improve their grades and confidence. “This independent effectiveness study attests to many of the student success stories we see every day.”
The study, which examined outcomes during the 2022-2023 school year, included a matched analysis sample of 746 students (373 treatment, 373 comparison) in grades 9-12 in the El Monte Union High School District. Researchers used data from both administrative and state summative assessments to examine the impact of Tutor.com on student outcomes. (Additional details can be found in the study.) Given the multiple findings of positive results, the study provides results to satisfy the ESSA evidence requirements for Level II. LearnPlatform by Instructure had previously completed a Tutor.com logical model that satisfies ESSA IV Standards.
“Every El Monte educator is dedicated to empowering our students to be resilient, college and career ready, lifelong learners, and contributing members of our global society,” said Dr. Edward Zuniga, Superintendent from the El Monte Union High School District. “We proactively implement programs to help students reach their full potential and are thrilled to see the positive, measurable impact that online tutoring has had on their success.”
Other case studies have shown positive results with the use of Tutor.com. “As part of our commitment to student success, we examine impact data and continually innovate our services to support the success of students, schools and districts,” White said.
