This project is a part of a broader effort by the College Board – a mission-driven, not-for-profit organization that prepares students for college and career success – and will be part of a rigorous research evaluation by NORC at the University of Chicago. Woot Tutor provided Saga Education with their award-winning learning platform, integrated audio-video conferencing capabilities, and digital math-aware scratchpads and whiteboards for live tutor-student interactions. To make this opportunity accessible, Saga and College Board provided devices and WiFi to students. Saga's tutors are not only supporting students academically, but translating Saga's relationship-centric model to the virtual space. "We're delighted to partner with Saga on such n important educational undertaking," said Krista Marks, CEO of Woot Tutor. "Personalized math tutoring in preparation for the SAT is dependent not only on great math tutors and engaged students, but on finding creative ways to tailor the content to meet students where they are." Woot Tutor's unique approach combines 1:1 math tutoring with state-of-the-art online tools and coaching in life skills, like study habits, organization, and time management, to deliver an unparalleled tutoring experience.
