Let's Talk About Tutoring 📣

With the disruptions in learning due to COVID, students are struggling. Many schools and districts have shifted their instructional scopes and sequences to accommodate the learning gaps. The article states, "Tutoring is the top-billed remedy to help students make up for disrupted learning." Large amounts of state and federal funds are allocated to support schools' tutoring programs. Due to this funding, there is a scramble for adequate resources in the tutoring field. With the rise in the need for tutoring, there is an increased opportunity for the tutoring market to grow. While this means there are more "tutoring" services available, there are no norms or standardization on the efficacy and qualifications of tutors or tutoring programs. For this reason and many more, JAM Teaching and Consulting remains a powerful force in the tutoring industry.  

Recent studies have shown that low cost, on-demand tutoring, the quick-solve stuff, will not yield the outcomes and results parents want to see. While these on-demand options offer more economical options, the quality of service and learning outcomes are compromised. Tutor and learner pairing is an art that many online/bot-based tutor sites can't do, and trained professionals in the tutoring field. As with many other industries in our economy's current state, It is also proving to be hard to vet and hire qualified tutors.

Here at JAM, we are trained teachers and professional tutors in our field of expertise. We take time to connect with families and tutors to facilitate the development of relationships. Then the matching process begins! We match learners with qualified teachers and professional tutors who will foster a relationship and support the development of their academic skills. As the research study evidence shows, even with minimal tutoring, students demonstrated learning gains. Imagine the growth your child can achieve with consistent tutoring by a qualified professional.
