Announcements & FAQs

Our small group or one on one high-dosage virtual tutoring program is grounded in research. The February 2021 article “Accelerating Student Learning With High-dosage Tutoring” published by EdResearch for Recovery (Annenberg Institute at Brown University & University of Virginia) details ten design principles for effective tutoring.  The Carnegie Learning Virtual Tutoring program is modeled on these principles with particular emphasis on: 

● high doses, taught by talented, certified math and literacy teachers 

● consistent tutors over time who facilitate positive tutor-student relationships 

● informal assessments that empower tutors to tailor instruction to meet students needs 

● training and ongoing support of tutors, which is the responsibility of Carnegie Learning 

● tutors who know Palm Springs Unified School District’s scope & sequence, which allows them to reinforce and support teachers’ classroom instruction 

Throughout our High Dosage Tutoring program, students will participate in engaging learning activities designed to reinforce academic standards while preparing, supporting, and extending their classroom learning.  During these sessions, our tutors follow a carefully designed syllabus and are focused on identifying and closing skill gaps, accelerating learning, and fostering academic confidence.  Our program is research-based, and years of research shows that students who consistently attend tutoring sessions with the same tutor experience the most gains in their overall performance and confidence.

You can find all session information in your child’s Carnegie Learning tutoring account in Clever. Inside your account, you can view your upcoming sessions on a calendar or list view.  You can find information on logging into the Carnegie Learning Tutoring App HERE.

You will also receive daily tutoring session reminders via email and text, sent to the email address and phone number with which you registered your child for tutoring.

📌 Please note, we cannot guarantee that your child will remain with the same tutor. We understand that afterschool schedules can change; however, our program is designed for consistency - both with tutor-student relationships as well as attendance on the days and times for which you registered.

Our small group or one on one high-dosage tutoring program is designed to help close gaps and boost confidence and tutors adhere to a carefully designed syllabus which aligns with your district's scope and sequence, covering skills students typically struggle with the most. 

Because we understand that sometimes students do just need help with their homework or classwork, we offer on-demand tutoring starting September 15th for students in grades 6-12!  As the name implies, you can book these Homework Help sessions "on demand" - or only when you need them!  These Homework Help sessions will also be virtual and accessed through Clever.  Find more information by clicking HERE.

At Carnegie Learning, we meet students where they are and accelerate their learning.  Our research affirms that students are capable of on-grade-level work with the right support.  Our small group or one on one, high-dosage tutoring program is designed for acceleration of learning rather than remediation, and research-based tutoring, in a typical school year, can play a key role in closing gaps in student learning and accelerating student growth by up to 15 months.
