Are you wondering how you can launch a live, 1-to-1 virtual tutoring program to support your students? Speak with one of our Education Consultants to learn how:
During the presentation, Chris Shearer shared how Holcomb Bridge decided to partner with FEV Tutor and the student achievement gains shown after just one year of tutoring. The school's decision to partner with FEV Tutor was part of a greater focus and emphasis on Personalized Learning.
HBMS students and teachers requested that 1:1 Tutoring be incorporated into the school's Personalized Learning initiative. After determining that it wasn't going to be feasible to staff tutors on their own, Principal Shearer looked to FEV Tutor to deliver 1:1 Tutoring during the school day.
Students met 1-on-1 with tutors during an intervention period and worked on skills identified by HBMS teachers to boost pre-Algebra skills.
Results: Growth on the Georgia Milestones
Students participating in FEV's Virtual Tutoring Program showed significant gains on their Georgia Milestone Assessment. These students initially identified for tutoring had scored at a beginning or developing level on their 2016 Milestone assessments. In 2017, 70% of participating students exceeded projected 7th to 8th grade gains on their Math Assessment and 30% of students grew by over 15 points from their 7th to 8th Grade assessments.
The graph below shows gains attained across all students participating in the online tutoring program from their 2016 to 2017 Georgia Milestones Assessment.
Stay tuned! In the 2017-18 Academic Year, Holcomb Bridge expanded the number of students served and the scope of the online tutoring program. We will publish the results from the second year of our partnership when they are ready.
