Implementing effective tutoring

Tutoring may be one of the strategies your school is using to support pupils' learning recovery, following the pandemic.

To enable you to maximise the impact of tutoring, our Research Bites guides provide practical, evidence-based tips across all aspects of tutoring implementation, from session delivery through to how it can most effectively be used to support closing the attainment gap.

Based on the latest independent evaluations of the National Tutoring Programme (NTP) by NFER and our partners, these research-informed resources are ideal for school leaders and teachers in the classroom.

You can find the latest guides below, which are designed to work alongside one another, along with two key tips posters to display in staffrooms.

We were delighted to partner with Kantar Public and the University of Westminster on the evaluation of the first year of the National Tutoring Programme (NTP), which was funded by the Education Endowment Foundation. We were also pleased to carry out the evaluation of the second and third years of the NTP on behalf of the Department for Education. We are grateful to ASCL and NAHT for supporting the first Implementing Effective Tutoring guide.
