Evidence-Based Tutoring Programs

Evidence-based tutoring for student success.

At our core, we believe in the power of evidence-based tutoring to help students excel. Our personalized approach offers tailored support through one-on-one sessions, pairs, or small groups, focusing on the unique needs of each student from preschool through 8th grade. To maximize the impact, we equip our tutors with comprehensive training and continuous coaching, ensuring they deliver the highest quality support to foster student success.

About Us Learn About Tutor Opportunities

Our programs are growing, because they work.

We train our tutors using the science of how children learn, and then put them to work on boosting literacy and math skills. Our history of results shows our approach to high-impact tutoring makes a difference. In fact, Reading Corps has been recognized by the Library of Congress for best practices in literacy promotion. As an honoree, Reading Corps is just one of four organizations worldwide to be recognized in reading instruction and tutoring!

We know how kids learn
We want to see every kid starting school strong, reading well by 3rd grade, and ready for algebra by 9th grade. To achieve this goal, we train our tutors on the science of how kids learn!

We follow the evidence
By actively monitoring the latest literacy, math, and early learning research, we’re able to train tutors on leading-edge strategies that have the potential to offer immediate benefits for students.

We adapt based on data
Data is at the heart of our program models. Our tutors provide regular assessments to adjust and maximize results. Plus, we regularly engage in research and third-party evaluation to ensure the best outcomes for students and schools.

Coaching is what makes our tutors so successful. Every tutor has an internal coach who provides day-to-day supervision, mentoring, and support. Tutors also meet regularly with a coaching specialist to discuss student progress, review assessments, and create targeted personalized intervention plans.

“Students have gained confidence in their math abilities, and the additional support from Minnesota Math Corps tutors has helped escalate student learning.”

Susan Okeneski, Teacher — North Saint Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale District

Our Programs Work

“It allows us to put trained adults in front of our students that we may not have those resources for, so the students that are needing help are getting that extra boost.”
