Programs

Flexible tutoring models for NYC schools.

Most Toolkit Tutors programs follow the High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) model, a research-backed approach that uses consistent tutors, consistent schedules, and small groups to accelerate student learning. Every model is staffed by carefully selected tutors and supported by Toolkit throughout the placement.
