According to the National Education Association (NEA), " High-impact tutoring has been shown to be 15 times more effective than standard tutoring models for reading."
By tailoring sessions to fit a child's attention span, we maximize engagement and ensure they remain focused, making it easier to absorb and retain new information.
For this reason, lessons are intentionally short, each no more than 15 minutes
