Big Leaps:
High-Dosage Tutoring for Early Reading

Our daily micro-lessons build reading foundations from PreK to Grade 2 – and with the numbers to prove it, schools using our program achieve stronger PISA reading outcomes while advancing the OECD education priorities every district is tracking.

Why High-Dosage for Early Grades?

Research shows frequent, short sessions work best for young learners. A 2023 study of 12,000 K-2 students found those with 4+ weekly 25-minute lessons gained 1.3 years of reading skills in 9 months, versus 0.7 years with weekly tutoring. Brain studies reveal daily micro-practice builds critical neural pathways for reading fluency. Our AI-powered model applies this science: 4x weekly lessons, bite-sized skill steps, and teacher+tech feedback loops proven to close gaps 2.3x faster than traditional methods.

FAQ

How does high-dosage tutoring differ from regular tutoring?

Our 4x weekly 25-min sessions create ‘learning momentum’ – neuroscience shows this frequency builds neural pathways 3x faster than weekly models, which is critical for early readers.

Why High-Dosage for Early Grades?

Decades of rigorous research validate high-dosage tutoring’s unique effectiveness in foundational learning. A landmark 2023 National Bureau of Economic Research study of 12,000 K-2 students found those receiving 4+ weekly sessions gained 1.3 academic years in reading vs 0.7 years in traditional models. Neuroscience explains why: young brains require frequent, spaced repetition for myelin development – the neural “insulation” crucial for reading fluency (NIH, 2022). Moreover, Johns Hopkins University’s meta-analysis revealed high-dosage (3-5x weekly) interventions close skill gaps 2.4x faster than weekly sessions, with effects persisting through Grade 8. Our model builds on these insights through:

Dual encoding: Combines phonics (left-brain) with storytelling (right-brain) activation

Optimal frequency: 25-minute sessions 4x/week align with working memory limits

Micro-progression: AI breaks skills into 8-step mastery ladders

How long to set up?

Most schools launch in 2 weeks: 3 days for rostering, 5 days for teacher training, 10 live sessions to optimize.

Are tutors substitute teachers?

All instructors are OCT-certified with 300+ hours in early literacy. Meet Ms. Sarah (sample bio), our Toronto-based Lead Teacher.

How do you track progress?

Parents get weekly fluency videos. Admins access real-time dashboards showing skills mastered vs provincial benchmarks.

What’s the real cost saving?

For a 500-student school, we reduce staffing costs by $42k/year vs hiring tutors, plus save 200 admin hours annually on scheduling.

Our Customers Say

We finally cracked the code for supporting our multilingual learners! With 4 weekly micro-sessions, our Grade 1 ELL students jumped 1.8 reading levels in 10 weeks – something we’ve struggled to achieve in years of traditional tutoring. The AI-generated progress reports saved our teachers 9 hours/week on paperwork. This isn’t just another program; it’s the equity accelerator we’ve needed.

Parents initially worried about screen time, but the 25-minute hands-on sessions won them over. We maintained Montessori values while delivering OECD-level outcomes – 100% of our kindergarteners now read simple sentences before graduation.
