“Tutoring session is a small group of 3-5
students with one tutor. Each student
works on an individual step-by-step program for
their academic need. The student will
first learn study skills to help them study and
become independent studiers. The program allows
the student to increase vocabulary and at the

sketches to help make the subject more
understandable. The tutor works with the
students throughout the program checking for
comprehension and student’s ability to apply the
information. Each day there are drills and
exercises for the student to do to help gain

The provider says this about its services:
“Students meet with tutors in school classrooms
after school. The average group size is
three students; students participate in a
combination of individual and group work,
hands-on and workbook lessons. Sessions
begin with snack and tutors ask about progress
in school since the last session. Students
describe new concepts being taught in school and
give the tutor a sense of those they find
difficult. Tutors introduce a math or
reading game designed to allow students to
practice skills covered the previous session and
begin working with each student individually on
new material. Students work silently while
the tutor rotates among them to assist. At
the end of the session, students participate in
a group exercise to reinforce their new skills.”

tests. Each student will receive an
individual profile and instructional plan that
provides a roadmap for each student’s work
during the intervention. This individual
profile is provided to parents so that they know
their child’s areas of strength and weakness as
measured on the Tennessee Stat tests.
Because the report is timely and specific, it
informs instruction, giving teachers the support
they need to teach students what they don’t know
and to avoid re-teaching content that has
already been mastered.”

The provider says this about its services:
“Tutoring will be provided in small groups of no
more than 5 students. The instructor
will begin each session by giving the students a
problem or set of problems to solve. The
problems will either involve hands-on activities
or be set in a real world context. For
example, students might be asked to use graphs
and equations to predict sales for a small
business. The instructor will provide
needed assistance as the students solve the
problem. The goal is to make the
problem-solving experience interesting and
challenging for students while ensuring that
important mathematics concepts and skills are
developed.”

“The Saturday Tutorial Program for Superstars”
provides tutorial services for K-5th

consecutive years. The Saturday morning
tutorial sessions will target reading/language
arts and mathematics on the Southern Avenue
Charter School site. Students will be
administered pre-assessment tests to give the
teacher an instant picture of each student’s
reading/math ability. The Saturday
Tutorial program will help Title I students
improve their academic achievement because of
the uniqueness of the tutorial program:
Small groups, individualized educational
services, hands-on activities and research-based
materials, parent input, teaching lessons and
the use of Best Practice Principles.”
