Virtual High-Dose Tutoring. Research Brief
NORC at the University of Chicago
This brief reports on findings and implications from an evaluation of the Saga Education Virtual Math Tutoring Program. Research has demonstrated that Saga provides an effective tutoring model when delivered in person. This research studied whether the program was also effective when delivered virtually. The findings reveal that, overall, students who received more virtual tutoring showed the most improvement in math achievement. However, providing virtual tutoring to high school students proved to be tricky. Despite the offer of free tutoring and the provision of free devices and Wi-Fi, program participation was unexpectedly low. The study dove deep into the reasons for this low uptake and describes important lessons learned for future high-dose tutoring (HDT) programs seeking to reach high school students virtually.
