EduTutorVA

First day of tutoring this academic year! ✨ I've been a tutor with EduTutorVA since September 2022, and today I kicked off my sessions with 3rd and 5th graders, focusing on math. 🧮 Between classes, I tutor six sessions a week, and I can’t express how much joy it brings me to build connections with these bright, curious minds. For those unfamiliar, EduTutorVA was founded in 2020 to address achievement gaps that widened during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially for students in Title 1 schools. By providing free, targeted high-dosage tutoring, EduTutorVA pairs students with tutors from local colleges and universities, offering three weekly sessions to ensure they stay on track. It’s truly a win-win: students receive engaging, grade-level lessons, and we tutors gain invaluable hands-on experience. Grateful to be a part of this initiative and excited to see what this year brings! 🌟

September has ended, and ESSER funding is obligated as of Sept. 30. ⌛ Remember: Evidence shows 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. Now is not the time to let up on what is shown to work for students. This month, we will highlight the foundational research and evidence demonstrating that high-impact tutoring — characterized by intensive, relationship-based, individualized instruction — works. Tutoring is one of the most effective ways to increase achievement for students from lower-income families. A 2017 study examined interventions that aimed to improve educational achievement for elementary and middle school students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Of all the interventions examined, including feedback and progress monitoring, cooperative learning, computer-assisted instruction, and mentoring of students, tutoring was the most effective.
