Preparing Students for State Exams and College Readiness

Preparing students for state assessments, end-of-course exams, and college readiness is complex. Varsity Tutors partners with districts to deliver targeted tutoring that fits into the school day, helping students close gaps, build confidence, and prepare for exams and what comes next.

A Proven Path to Higher Scores and Admissions

When tutoring is consistent, aligned, and built around student needs, districts see real progress, quickly.

Across district partnerships, students demonstrated:

20–30 point increases in math proficiency ahead of state testing windows

Reading mastery more than doubled, and in some cases tripled, within 10 weeks.

Students closing gaps with state expectations and, in some cases, outperforming state averages

Strong participation and attendance across schools, even during intensive intervention periods

Average gains of +112 points on the SAT and +2.8 points on the ACT among students participating in consistent, high-dosage test preparation

High-Dosage Tutoring Designed for Test Prep and Academic Intervention

Varsity Tutors uses a high-dosage tutoring model to support both test preparation and ongoing academic intervention in ways that help students build confidence and proficiency over time.

Students receive:

Tutoring multiple times per week to reinforce key skills

Small-group or one-to-one support based on need

Instruction grounded in proven reading and math practices

Structured preparation for end-of-course exams and college entrance tests

We also combine live instruction from expert tutors with AI-supported tools that extend learning beyond sessions. These tools help students practice, prepare, and receive feedback between meetings, while offering tutors and teachers real-time insights into student progress and areas of need.

Built to Fit MTSS, RTI, and District Implementation

Districts integrate Varsity Tutors into existing MTSS and RTI frameworks, using tutoring as a targeted layer of support rather than an add-on.

The model supports districts by providing:

  • Clear visibility into student progress
  • Interventions that align with classroom instruction
  • Support across literacy and math, from Middle school through high school
  • Summer and academic recovery programs that extend learning beyond the school year

This approach allows districts to scale support across schools while maintaining consistency and quality.
