High-Dosage Tutoring
High-Dosage Tutoring With Proven Results
SmartStart Education was an early adopter of high-dosage tutoring (HDT). Our CEO, Dr. Isaak Aronson, was a Senior Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University School of Education from 2014 through 2023, an institution which was pivotal in the research and development of HDT. SmartStart was fortunate to have the early influence and guidance of a founder of HDT, and it was these teachings that shaped the development of SmartStart’s High-Dosage Tutoring (HDT) programs.
Seven Key Elements for a Successful Program:
SmartStart’s high-dosage tutoring tutoring programs are effective because we embed the following hallmarks of successful HDT programming:
SmartStart aims to run its HDT programs during the school day whenever possible. In addition, we have the capacity to reach additional students by offering before and after-school tutoring, as well as tutoring sessions on weekends and during school breaks. SmartStart also offers virtual tutoring, one-on-one or in small groups.
Our high-dosage tutoring programs can be offered up to 5 days per week and range in length from 30 to 90 minutes per session.
We limit our high-dosage tutoring sessions to four students or less to provide in-depth help for each child.
SmartStart’s Talent Acquisition Team is comprised of experienced educators who select the most qualified tutors with the requisite content mastery and teaching experience. We provide our tutors with continual oversight and ongoing, stimulating and innovative training.
Our tutors are carefully monitored, using a virtual clock-in system with location identification, so we know that tutors arrive at the correct location on time and leave on time.
SmartStart high-dosage tutoring programs use data to assess our effectiveness at improving student learning. Our tutors work with your staff to make regular adjustments based on this data.
Our tutors use engaging materials aligned with state standards and research to help students quickly grasp concepts and apply their knowledge in the classroom.
In addition, we have the capacity to reach additional students by offering before and after-school tutoring, as well as tutoring sessions on weekends and during school breaks. SmartStart also offers virtual tutoring, one-on-one or in small groups.
SmartStart uses a proprietary 360° algorithm for evaluation of its tutoring programs. The methodology and algorithm were developed by the Founder/CEO, Isaak Aronson, who oversees the program evaluation process.
