Our
Tutoring Approach

The StudentNest
Tutoring Platform

StudentNest’s learning platform has helped over 500,000 K-12 students achieve greater academic success. Used by over 450 school districts and providing more than 10 million hours of tutoring, StudentNest is a proven platform for improving the academic performance of students all over the world.

Powering 1:1 Interactions

Everyone agrees there is no substitute for one-on-one student tutoring. A tutor focuses on just one child during a session. When the child gets the complete attention of the tutor, it is bound to make a huge
difference. It produces and immediate and lasting impact on the student’s academic performance.

By utilizing present day Internet technologies, StudentNest replicates the real world personal tutoring scenario online. The tutor and the student have two-way audio conversation using a hands-free headset with microphone, hooked up to their respective computers. They share the same electronic whiteboard, and exchange questions and answers in writing, which are displayed on both their computer screens. Though they are not physically sitting face to face, a real time one-to-one environment is created, making personal tutoring affordable for all children.

Effective Small Group Tutoring

Our tutors are trained to meet the varied needs of students in small groups
of 2-5 students. Whether in-person or in virtual sessions, our tutors frequently check for understanding and use high-yield student engagement techniques with the goal of help learners master concepts.

Assessment and Targeted Instruction

We begin our services by developing relationships of trust with students through strategic rapport building activities. Soon after we assess students to gauge their current skills in relation to their grade level. We’ve found that students give a more genuine effort on their assessments when a relationship of trust exists with the tutor, which gets us better data to structure the student’s learning plan. Based upon the data gathered from the pre-assessment, we craft a standards-aligned, individual learning plan. 

This plan will guide our tutors through our content library on which standards and skills each student needs the most help in. Our goal is to help each student develop mastery in all identified deficient areas, even accelerating them up to grade-level standards if they start off well behind. At the end of services we administer a post assessment which will demonstrate each student’s growth and development.
