How Studies Prove You Can Get Better Grades with Wizeprep’s World-Class Tutors
How do you make sure your child is getting better grades? There’s a ton of strategies out there, but a recent study from Brown University presents proof on why classroom-aligned, high intensity tutoring may be the best. 
Does tutoring deliver better grades?
Every parent wants to give their child the best possible education and advantage that they can, especially with university admissions becoming ever more competitive. 

Getting better grades is more important than ever. After all, the good grades that students earn in high school are critical for determining what university or college they’ll be able to attend, and ultimately what career trajectory they wish to pursue. 

No matter what your child’s ambitions are, every parent wants to ensure that their child has every possible opportunity to succeed in anything they choose to pursue. 

Especially in these difficult times with the rise in inflation, the cost of everything seems to be rising. Tutoring is more expensive than ever with high quality tutors that can easily charge in the $100s of dollars an hour for private sessions. 

However, are these tutoring services worth it?

New research from Brown University suggests that yes, high quality tutoring that is consistent and aligned with classroom content is effective. The research from the Annenberg Institute at Brown University demonstrated that high-dosage tutoring is extremely effective at helping students master concepts and get better grades.

High-dosage tutoring involves tutoring programs of three or more sessions per week, with groups of no more than 3-4 students at a time, and using materials that are aligned with classroom content. According to the study, the most effective tutoring interactions involve sessions that are about 30 to 60 minutes per day and the most effective programs last for at least 10 weeks. 

According to the studies used by the AmeriCorps fellows, students who participated in daily tutoring sessions were 50% less likely to fail their math course and 28% less likely to fail a non-math course. Earning better grades and having access to the best quality support are directly correlated according to this study.

Can you get better grades with online learning?
These studies demonstrate the effectiveness of concentrated high quality tutoring. However, with high quality tutors that could be charging $100s an hour, replicating this effectiveness for the average parent is impossible. 

Or is it? 

Thanks to technology, there is no need to pay thousands of dollars a year in order to access world-class tutors, high quality resources, and support to earn those great grades. 

For only $15 a month, students gain access to Wizeprep with thousands of on-demand bite-size video content, hundreds of practice questions, live sessions, and opportunities to ask world’s best instructors questions about concepts.
