A study last year found that teachers believe tutoring has the potential to boost student confidence, improve academic attainment, and support good mental health (Burtonshaw & Simon, 2023).
Whether you managed to make use of the National Tutoring Programme funding or not, it is significant that at its time of need the government turned to tutoring. This is because tutoring, when done well, works better than most other interventions.
According to the Education Endowment Foundation’s Teaching and Learning Toolkit, effective one-to-one tuition can accelerate a student’s progress by providing up to five months’ worth of additional learning across a year. Small-group tuition is nearly as effective, providing up to four months’ worth of additional learning for significantly lower costs (EEF, 2021).
