FAQs

Our High-Dosage Tutoring model delivers in-person, small-group instruction—serving up to four students per group—three or more times per week during the school day. Each 30 to 40-minute session is led by a trained tutor and grounded in evidence-based literacy practices aligned with the Science of Reading and NCTM standards. This structured, consistent approach ensures students receive targeted support that accelerates learning and improves literacy outcomes.

In-person tutoring provides young students with the hands-on support and personal interaction they need to build foundational skills. For early learners, face-to-face sessions help minimize distractions, create a structured learning environment, and foster strong relationships with tutors. This direct engagement makes it easier for tutors to read nonverbal cues, offer immediate feedback, and use multi-sensory strategies that are crucial for early development and leads to stronger student outcomes.

All of our tutors hold at least a four-year degree, with many bringing advanced degrees and teaching credentials to their roles. But what truly distinguishes Catapult Learning is our comprehensive approach to tutor training, support, and quality assurance. Before entering the classroom, each tutor completes over 40 hours of pre-service training focused on our proven High-Dosage Tutoring model. This includes in-depth preparation on curriculum, instructional strategies, and compliance expectations.

Once tutoring begins, our tutors receive ongoing support through more than five formal observations, accompanied by real-time coaching and feedback. In addition, we provide continuous professional development to ensure instructional excellence and drive meaningful student outcomes.

Each student begins with a diagnostic assessment that identifies individual skill gaps and priority learning areas. This data is used to create customized learning plans and to group students according to similar needs, allowing for highly targeted instruction.  Throughout the lesson, our tutors ensures that students understand the learning objective, spend time actively manipulating the academic content of the lesson, and engages in work that leads to high rates of independent student success.  To ensure progress, tutors use formative assessments to adjust instruction in real time and interim assessments to track growth, update learning plans, and measure progress against defined goals. This continuous feedback loop ensures that instruction remains responsive and effective.

We offer turnkey implementation to make it easy for schools and districts to get started. Catapult Learning handles every aspect of the program—from tutor recruitment, training, and ongoing coaching to providing curriculum, student materials, and progress reporting. Our end-to-end support ensures a seamless launch and consistent program quality with minimal lift required from school staff.
