“To have this amazing resource for free at any time that I need it and to be able to have the comfort in the back of my mind that I can fall back on this resource has been a huge help to me,” she said, adding that she’s often sought help from Paper tutors at 2 a.m. Madyson Lee, a senior at Portola High School in Irvine Unified, said she’s found the service invaluable. “We try to hit it from all the angles,” she said. To get students to participate, the district and Paper have held pep rallies at schools, asked teachers to promote it and linked it to Canvas, the district’s learning platform.
Although some students log on late at night, most log on during the school day, said Shaney Valencia, the district’s educational technology coordinator. Students can log on to meet with a live tutor whenever they need help. Irvine Unified has contracted with a company called Paper, which offers online on-demand tutoring 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They also offered several other ideas to bolster the tutor workforce. Panelists praised the recently launched College Corps, a state-run initiative that will place more than 1,500 college students in school districts to work as tutors in exchange for scholarship money. But a limited hiring pool, as well as the eventual end of Covid money, has left some districts scrambling for alternative ways to match students with individualized instruction that helps them succeed academically. School districts throughout California are using their Covid relief funds to hire tutors to help students regain ground lost during remote learning. And as a result, I think it’s up to us to figure out how to get this into the schools.” “We don’t have another option here that really has been shown to work. “This is the only way we know really to accelerate student learning,” said Susanna Loeb, education economist and director of the Annenberg Institute at Brown University. But no matter what form it takes, tutoring will be the most important factor in helping students catch up academically after the pandemic, a panel of experts told an EdSource roundtable on Wednesday.
Tutoring can be in person or online, after school or during class, tailored to specific homework assignments or cover broad concepts.
