Our tutoring approach is evidence-based and educator-approved.
Evidence-based tutoring for student success.
At Reading Corps, Math Corps, and Early Learning Corps, we deliver high-impact, evidence-based tutoring in reading and math. We support students from preschool through eighth grade with personalized, one-on-one and small-group instruction tailored to each learner's needs.
To maximize the impact, we equip our AmeriCorps tutors with comprehensive training and continuous coaching, so they can deliver research-backed strategies that accelerate learning and build student confidence.
Proven by research, backed by experts.
Our approach to tutoring is grounded in research and verified by leading education experts. That’s why we partner with the National Science and Service Collaborative (NSSC). As a key research partner, NSSC works alongside our teams to evaluate and enhance how Reading Corps, Math Corps, and Early Learning Corps promote student success.
Together, we combine the power of AmeriCorps service with the science of learning to create high-impact tutoring programs that are effective, scalable, and research-driven.
Thanks to this partnership, we’re able to:
Implement tutoring strategies that are proven to work
Drive student progress in reading and math
Deliver programs at little to no cost to schools
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!
Learn More About UsWe 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.
A student-centric support system.
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.
