Leverage AVID's Six Tutoring Principles to Accelerate Learning

Tutoring is a fundamental component of education, but did you know that many approaches to tutoring have little to no effect on student outcomes?

In our mission to close the opportunity gap and prepare all students for college and career readiness and success, we have developed and implemented a variety of tutoring models.
