In tutoring, you get to know the kids, you learn their style of learning, and you see beyond the behavior. You also get a chance to give that extra support, and that is more important than what people think.”  –Sabrina Mathis, Tutor –

High Impact Tutoring Program

We believe every student has the ability to succeed when given the right support and opportunities. Our High Impact Tutoring Program (HIT) is designed to help 2nd to 5th-grade students strengthen their skills, build confidence, and unlock their full potential. This program inspires young learners to overcome challenges and thrive both academically and personally.

A Research-Based Solution to Support the Whole Child

HIT combines proven academic strategies with social-emotional learning to create a supportive, growth-centered environment. With a staff-to-student ratio of no more than 1:3, students receive personalized attention that helps them build on their strengths and confidently tackle new challenges.

Using UFLI Foundations and Word Connections, programs rooted in the Science of Reading, students strengthen their decoding and literacy skills. Each session also includes a daily Social Emotional Learning mini-lesson, empowering students to build self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Celebrating Success

The impact of the HIT program has been transformational:

  • Students grew on average one year in foundational reading skills, as measured by the Quick Phonics Screener.
  • Students achieved 88% mastery on phonics progress monitoring assessments.
  • 85% of students reported feeling excited and actively engaged in their learning.
  • 77% of students expressed feeling a greater sense of belonging at school.

HIT is more than tutoring; it’s a space where students grow and feel safe to take risks.

“One of my 5th-grade students began the year well below grade level. I was so excited to see them working so comfortably with their Kid Power tutors on work they usually would be embarrassed to do. I am thrilled to see the risk-taking culture in Kid Power’s setting. Students are doing things I have not often seen in general education classrooms.”
