Flexible tutoring models for NYC schools.
Toolkit Tutors provides in-person tutoring programs designed around the realities of school operations. Most of our 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.
High-Impact Tutoring
Research-backed tutoring that works.
High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) is one of the most effective school-based interventions available for students who need additional academic support. Effective HIT programs use consistent tutors, consistent schedules, small groups, and close alignment with classroom instruction. Toolkit incorporates these principles across most of our tutoring models.
Small Groups
Most tutoring takes place in groups of four students or fewer.
School-Ready
Programs are designed around the school day whenever possible.
Teacher-Aligned
Tutors communicate with school staff so sessions reinforce classroom goals.
