Professional Approach
Outstanding Quality
Dr. Mario Novo, DPT, completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Florida International University in 2014, where as a graduate assistant, he ran and conducted various human performance and clinical research trials. With a specialization in kinesiology, biomechanics, and neurorehabilitation, Dr. Novo has a distinguished background in leading teams of undergraduate/graduate-level students and licensed physical therapists in biomechanics research, clinical practice patterns, continuing education certification, and standardized testing preparation.
Effective Tutoring is?
-
Seamlessly Integrated Support:
-
​Embedding dedicated tutoring sessions within the existing school day, rather than replacing them with standalone intervention periods, creates a cohesive learning environment that complements core curriculum instruction. As AJ Gutierrez, co-founder of Saga Education (a non-profit supporting marginalized students), emphasizes, this integrated approach "yields some of the most significant academic outcomes for kids." Shalinee Sharma, CEO of Zearn (a math learning platform), suggests repurposing existing intervention slots within the schedule for such tutoring sessions.

-
Consistent Reinforcement:
-
Research indicates that "high-dosage" tutoring, occurring at least three times a week for 30 minutes each, yields optimal results. This consistent schedule, as the panelists noted, allows students ample time to solidify concepts and build strong relationships with their tutors.
-
-
Quality Driven Impact:
-
High-quality instructional materials are fundamental to successful tutoring, Lisa Coons, Chief Academic Officer at the Tennessee Department of Education, asserts. Clear expectations and robust learning resources, both for teachers and tutors, enable tracking student progress and tailoring support effectively. Quality curriculum bridges the gap between classroom instruction and personalized tutoring, fostering strong collaboration.
-
-
Building Trustful Connections:
-
Relationships are the cornerstone of effective tutoring, the panelists agreed. Tutors must possess a comprehensive understanding of each student's academic journey and the skill to guide their progress. Gutierrez further highlighted the potential for mentorship within tutoring, offering students valuable connections with caring adults who can help them stay focused and motivated.

Investing in Tutor Development:
-
Recognizing the diverse range of tutor experience, Sharma described Zearn's commitment to professional learning for tutors, catering to both experienced educators and novice professionals. She also envisions using tutoring as a pathway to attract future teachers. Providing differentiated learning opportunities for tutors not only equips them for high-impact delivery but also fosters their professional growth, Sharma concluded.
