HIGH DOSE TUTORING FROM APEX TUTORS A Proven Strategy to Accelerate Student Learning

H

igh Dose Tutoring (HDT) may be just what the “teacher” ordered,

if you have a student struggling due to the multiple challenges in education today. According to the Annenberg Center at Brown University, HDT is intensive tutoring that occurs oneto-one, on a sustained basis, to help students accelerate their learning.

It is an intentional use of additional time with a specific focus on building prerequisite knowledge and skills, while simultaneously integrating new learning that is part of the grade level curriculum…in other words, it requires spending the time, to do the work, with a qualified tutor assisting.

Since 2020 HDT has been deployed across the country to help students that have fallen behind. Harvard’s Educational Innovation Laboratories states that HDT is an evidence-based tenet of education…meaning the science says it works. HDT has been so successful that the Colorado Department of Education distributed grants to twenty-one schools across the state in 2022 to implement HDT programs.

There are five critical elements for a successful HDT program and that is where Apex Tutors comes in. It must be Accessible, Intensive, Qualified, Individualized, and Responsive. “At Apex we bring our tutors to you,” said John R, owner of Apex Tutors in Colorado, “for an intensive session a

minimum of three times per week.”

Apex provides the first session at no cost to make sure there is an excellent student tutor connection, which is the critical element of success in developing an individualized and responsive program. “The tutor and student need to be aligned on the current skill level and a commitment to high expectations, something that comes from a positive mentoring relationship,” stresses John R. “It’s not difficult to get a tutor off the internet, but then the five critical elements of success are up to the family,” says John R, “which is doable, but requires a lot of time investment to find the right tutor.”

HDT is most effective when it is implemented as part of the school day, as Apex does with New West Charter School (NWC) in California. “At NWC we have been imbedded in the school for three semesters” says John S., owner

of Apex California, “we have five class periods where our tutors are in the school, working with the same students five days a week. The results have been fabulous with a 90% plus success rate,” said John S. You can use the same formula during the summer with students, so they are on track before the start of the next school year.

HDT may seem expensive due to the tutoring frequency, but the results are worth it. If you look at it practically, it is less expensive than having your car fixed or having your pets cared for, so it is something families should consider.
