Private tutoring for students can cost thousands upon thousands of dollars per year.
But economist Jonathan Guryan co-authored a study that found tutoring improves student learning and graduation rates.
He studied a pilot tutoring program in Chicago Public Schools that helped students struggling at math. One tutor met with two students at a time, so the tutor could match the students at their individual math level.
Guryan wants to expand the program nationally.
Our documentary, One Child at a Time, takes a deep dive into personalized learning in the United States.
