Stanford-Endorsed Tutoring System

Group (11)

Once upon a time, our founder, Phyllis, walked into an urban,
New Jersey classroom with ninth-grade students. The students were expected to learn algebra, but still had trouble adding and subtracting. They had tremendous learning anxiety.

They had attitudes. They did not want to be there at all. Their frustration was palpable, and the traditional methods of lectures and practice weren’t cutting it. These students needed something else entirely.

That’s when Phyllis introduced a colorful, floor-sized number line. The students learned to add and subtract by ‘moonwalking’ back and forth, using their arms to represent positive, negative, steep, and horizontal slopes. They debated solutions to unfamiliar problems, made mistakes, and had a lot of fun along the way. Within weeks, they had caught up several grade levels in math.

What began as a classroom experiment soon evolved into Eurekii—an organization dedicated to helping thousands of students rediscover the joy of learning.

Eurekii’s mission is to bring joy back to learning for all learners, but especially the most reluctant ones. We know small-group, one-on-one tutoring works.

about us image
How do we make learners
love learning?

We give them interesting, fun, relevant problems to solve. We get to know them and build a relationship. We believe they can do hard things. Let them fail, but always encourage them to keep trying. Track and celebrate their progress, so they can see how far they’ve come.

Eurekii is the only tutoring company that has a set methodology focused on student experience and engagement first. Without that, nothing happens. We believe that when students are engaged, they learn. It’s that simple.

Strengthen Reading Levels: Cherry Hill Elementary and Middle School
Challenge:

Cherry Hill Elementary and Middle School had multiple reading levels in each grade and wanted more support during in-school reading time. Teachers were not able to differentiate and support all learners in the classroom.

Solution:

In tight coordination with the grade level teacher, the Eurekii team of tutors worked with a designated set of students for nine-week periods, ensuring growth and personalized attention within that time frame. Weekly lessons and detailed notes were shared and aligned with classroom expectations.

Results:

Due to the positive results in the first nine weeks, the school expanded reading support from two to four grades for the remainder of the school year. The following year, the school kept all four reading grades and expanded the work to include an additional four math grades.

Enrich Grades PreK-3 Learners: New Song Academy

Enrich Grades PreK-3 Learners: New Song Academy

Solution:

Eurekii created the school’s first enrichment program to push students at or above grade level in math starting in the earliest grades (Pre-K-3). Students were challenged with Eurekii tutors while classroom teachers worked with a smaller group of students who needed additional support. Enrichment students had opportunities for additional practice after school to further accelerate their progress.

Results:

Both teachers and parents reported strong results with students working on problems one or two grade levels above what was expected. Based on the success, the school expanded the program to include more grades.

Maximize Free Time in High School: Baltimore Design School
Challenge:

Baltimore Design School’s (BDS) first period  was reserved for advisory, homework, and intervention time. However, students were not always productive. School leadership wanted better use of that time by providing 9th graders with additional math and English support.

Solution:

Eurekii provided live, hybrid instruction during the period to review and solidify skills learned in math and English class. The groups were divided so that there were both enrichment and intervention groups. Each group met virtually once a week with five to eight students per group. Eurekii communicated with the teachers to design the small group instruction so that the coordination of in-class and small groups were aligned, yielding maximum potential growth.

Results:

Both students and teachers reported the sessions positively impacted learning and school performance. BDS plans to expand this intervention for the next school year.

Baltimore City provides Eurekii’s leadership team with beginning-of-year (BOY) and end-of-year (EOY) iReady data, comparing students using Eurekii tutors to students not receiving tutoring. In reviewing the state test results (known as the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program, or MCAP) students receiving Eurekii tutoring performed significantly better than both the school district and the state.

Out of the 74 participants, students receiving Eurekii tutoring services for five or more months, 70% improved at least one grade level, of which 15% improved at least two grade levels, compared with their peers who did not receive tutoring.

Eurekii students scored significantly higher on the standardized state test, outperforming the overall Baltimore City Public Schools average by 17% points and exceeding the state average by several percentage points.

Our work in middle school showed Eurekii students scored higher on the standardized state test, outperforming the Baltimore City Public Schools average by nearly 8% and performing several percentage points better than the state average.

Our ‘training and management of tutors’ work has been featured in monthly district tutoring meetings and shared with other tutoring teams.

The AACPS tutoring program is a county-wide opportunity offered to those students who would benefit from additional tutoring. Students received targeted instruction in Math aligned to their performance on the beginning-of-year (BOY) diagnostic and ongoing progress monitoring using the Standards Mastery Assessments in i-Ready. The primary goal of the tutoring program is to move students toward grade-level performance in math based on individual student academic needs as measured by i-Ready diagnostic, grades, and MCAP scores. The pupil-to-tutor ratio is 4:1, and students meet with their tutor twice a week for a total of 1,025 sessions. Each session is 25-35 minutes in length.

The disaggregated outcomes demonstrate a decrease in the number of students who performed three or more grade levels below on their i-Ready Diagnostic Assessments and increased the number of students who performed at or above.
90% of students increased their iReady scores by at least 1-2 grade levels after our tutoring sessions.

Meade Heights Elementary School: 100% of students met or exceeded their stretch goals to move from below grade level to at or above grade level.
