What is High Dosage Tutoring?
High Dosage Tutoring (HDT) is a strategic educational intervention that involves providing students with intensive, frequent tutoring sessions to address learning gaps and enhance academic performance. Typically, HDT is implemented in small groups or one-on-one settings, ensuring personalized attention and tailored instruction. At Studyville, we have adopted this approach, conducting HDT sessions three times a week in 30-minute increments, to maximize student engagement and retention.
Evidence-Based Research Supporting High Dosage Tutoring
The impact of High Dosage Tutoring is backed by substantial evidence. Research conducted by CEA Accelerate highlights the significant benefits of this approach. According to their findings, students who participate in HDT show marked improvements in their academic performance, particularly in subjects they struggle with. The frequency and intensity of HDT help solidify understanding and foster a deeper grasp of the material.
Legislative Support: Louisiana Senate Bill 508 (Act 771)
In recognition of the effectiveness of High Dosage Tutoring, the Louisiana Legislature enacted Senate Bill 508, now known as Act 771. This legislation mandates the implementation of HDT in schools across the state to help bridge learning gaps and ensure that all students have access to the support they need to succeed academically. The enactment of Act 771 underscores the state’s commitment to improving educational outcomes through proven methods.

A Parent’s Testimonial
We take pride in the positive feedback we receive from parents and students alike. One parent shared her heartfelt appreciation with a superintendent:
“Good morning Mr. Powell – I saw that the Board is discussing Studyville at the board meetings. I wanted to let you know that my daughter, who goes to ASH, was making C, D, and F in geometry, and her last test she just made a 100. We know that her going to Studyville has definitely kept her from failing geometry this year – we are very appreciative for having this outlet and thankful that she can go there. We have prayed a lot because, as you know, she’s got to have this to pass and graduate. She’s doing well in everything else but really struggling with geometry, so I wanted to say thank you for all that you’re doing to help our children have these resources. I actually checked around with other teachers to see if somebody would tutor her, and we could not find anybody, and then we found out about Studyville – we sure hope it’s available for next year. Thank you for everything you’re doing to help our children to graduate. Love and prayers to you.”
