Built for district leaders & the families you serve

Three ways we make supplemental services easier. Read on for programs, imagery, and next steps.

Where learning happens

Families see us at the kitchen table. Districts see us as an extension of their obligation to educate every child, especially when placement is home-based or out of district.

Tutor working with a student one-on-one in a bright home environment Home-based

Tutoring in the home

Warm, focused 1:1 sessions where students build skills without the noise of a crowded classroom. This works well for out-of-district placements, medical needs, and homeschool supplementation.

Aligned with your schools

We speak the language of IEPs, 504s, pacing guides, and supplemental services, so administrators get clarity and families get consistency between district expectations and daily tutoring.

Supplemental & home-based services districts count on

When a student is educated out of district or primarily at home, districts still need a partner who can execute services with fidelity. Teacher Tutors specializes in home-based tutoring: matched educators, structured sessions, and reporting that helps your team stay compliant and responsive.

We are a resource for homeschool families who want certified-teacher support alongside their program, and for districts that must furnish tutoring for students who cannot attend in person. Delivery stays flexible, with in-home sessions across New Jersey, fully online, or hybrid, while goals stay tied to your standards.

From supplemental instruction to extended services, we scale staffing to your roster. Teacher Tutors proudly serves multiple school districts in New Jersey; if you are exploring vendors for the next school year, we would welcome a conversation about scope, subjects, and service levels.

  • Out-of-district & non-public placements with home-based delivery
  • Homeschool support: core subjects, writing, math, science, and more
  • Documentation and check-ins structured for district oversight
  • Flexible scheduling for families and case managers
  • K–5 tutoring programs
  • Middle & high school academic support

Funding

New Jersey grant funding for high-impact tutoring

What the state is paying for, which districts qualify, and how to turn an award into a program that is actually running.

New Jersey is putting real money behind tutoring. For the 2026-2027 school year the Department of Education awarded roughly $7.5 million through the New Jersey Learning Acceleration Program: High-Impact Tutoring Grant, split across 55 school districts and charter schools. If your district is holding an award, or is weighing an application for the next cohort, the practical question follows quickly: who is going to deliver the instruction?

Who qualifies for the High-Impact Tutoring Grant

Eligibility is targeted rather than universal. The Cohort 3 notice opened the competition to local education agencies whose average student proficiency in grades 3 to 8 on the 2024-2025 New Jersey Student Learning Assessments fell below 50 percent in English language arts, mathematics, or both. Award size is then set by enrollment and performance data, which is why a small district may see $20,000 while a large urban district draws the $400,000 ceiling.

Funds are meant for instruction, and the state is deliberately flexible about when that instruction happens: during the school day, before and after school, and over the summer all qualify. Districts may also put AI tools in a supporting role, for scheduling or for diagnosing where a student's gaps actually are, so long as a qualified person is doing the teaching.

What New Jersey means by "high-impact" tutoring

This is the part that decides whether a program survives its first year of review. The NJDOE is not funding drop-in homework help. Four design elements define the model, and each one carries a staffing consequence districts feel immediately:

  • Three or more sessions per week Dosage is the most cited driver of results, and the hardest thing to sustain with volunteers or borrowed staff, because it asks the same adult to show up on the same days for months. We staff to the schedule you commit to, and we cover absences rather than canceling.
  • Small groups with highly qualified tutors Our tutors are experienced classroom teachers who pass a four-step screen: identity verification, criminal background check, credentials review, and two professional references. Our tutor screening process lays out what that involves.
  • Alignment to classroom instruction and standards Tutoring that runs on its own track competes with the classroom instead of reinforcing it. We work from your curriculum, your pacing guides, and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, and we take direction from your supervisors on what each cycle should cover.
  • Continuous use of data to adjust instruction Districts have to track participation and progress in local assessment tools and state data systems. We keep session-level attendance and progress notes in a form your team can pull into that reporting, so the compliance record is a byproduct of the work rather than a scramble in June.

Where Teacher Tutors fits

Most districts do not have surplus certified teachers waiting to run a three-day-a-week intervention block. That is the gap we fill. Teacher Tutors already provides tutoring services to multiple New Jersey school districts, in students' homes, online, and in school buildings, and we staff to the caseload you actually have rather than to a package we would prefer to sell.

Grant-funded work arrives on a tight clock: an award is announced, a program has to be running by a set date, and the reporting starts right away. We can scope subjects, grade bands, session counts, and cost per hour quickly enough to be written into an application, and we can provide references and a sample service agreement for your business office to review. If your district is still deciding whether to apply, we are glad to talk through what a realistic program looks like at your likely award tier before you commit to a number.

Beyond the tutoring grant

High-impact tutoring money is one line among several. Districts also fund supplemental instruction through Title I school improvement and targeted support, IDEA funds for students with disabilities, 21st Century Community Learning Centers for out-of-school-time programs, and local budget lines for home instruction and out-of-district placements. The same tutors and the same reporting work across all of them.

Home instruction is worth calling out on its own. When a student cannot attend, whether for a medical reason, a disciplinary placement, or an out-of-district setting, the obligation to educate does not pause. That is the work our district practice was built around, and it is described further up this page.

What Our Clients Think About Us

Testimonial List

From first call to first session

District programs usually start on a deadline. Here is the path we run, and it moves at the speed your calendar needs.

  1. Scope the need

    Tell us the grade bands, subjects, student count, and where sessions have to happen. We come back with staffing, session frequency, and cost per hour in a form you can put in front of a business administrator or drop into a grant application.

  2. Paper the agreement

    We provide references, proof of screening and insurance, and a sample service agreement. Your board approves on your timeline, and we work with whatever purchase-order or contract process your district already uses.

  3. Match the tutors

    We assign experienced classroom teachers by subject and grade, not by whoever is free. Case managers and building administrators meet the tutors working with their students before sessions begin.

  4. Run it and report it

    Sessions start on the agreed schedule. You get attendance and progress notes at the session level, in a form that feeds your local assessment tracking and state reporting without a separate data-entry project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The New Jersey Learning Acceleration Program: High-Impact Tutoring Grant funds tutoring, and districts commonly deliver that tutoring through an outside provider rather than by hiring staff they do not have. We can supply the scope, session counts, and hourly cost you need for an application or a purchase order, plus references and a sample service agreement. Your business administrator should confirm allowable costs against the current grant notice, since we are a provider, not the state.

It is a competitive state grant, formally the New Jersey Learning Acceleration Program: High-Impact Tutoring Grant, that pays for intensive tutoring in English language arts and mathematics. For the 2026-2027 school year the NJDOE awarded roughly $7.5 million across 55 school districts and charter schools, with individual awards ranging from $20,000 to $400,000 based on enrollment and student performance. Funds can be spent on tutoring during the school day, before and after school, and over the summer.

The Cohort 3 competition was open to local education agencies whose average student proficiency in grades 3 to 8 on the 2024-2025 New Jersey Student Learning Assessments was below 50 percent in English language arts, mathematics, or both. That targets the districts with the widest gaps rather than opening the money to everyone. Award size then scales with enrollment and performance data. Check the current NJDOE grant opportunity notice for the cohort you are applying to, because the eligibility year and the deadline move each round.

It is built to. The NJDOE describes high-impact tutoring as sessions three or more times per week, small groups led by highly qualified tutors, instruction aligned to the classroom and to state standards, and continuous use of data to adjust teaching. We staff to the frequency you commit to, use experienced classroom teachers, work from your curriculum and pacing guides, and keep session-level attendance and progress notes your team can pull into local and state reporting.

They are experienced classroom teachers, including current and former special education teachers, reading specialists, and content specialists, not college students working a shift. Every tutor passes a four-step screen before working with a student: identity verification, criminal background check, education credentials review, and two professional references. Our tutor screening process walks through each step, and we can provide documentation for your personnel file.

Yes, and it is a core part of our district practice. When a student cannot attend, whether for a medical reason, a disciplinary placement, an out-of-district setting, or a homeschool arrangement, we deliver instruction in the home, online, or a blend of both. Tutors follow the district's pacing and report back to the case manager, so the record of service is clear and the student returns to a familiar curriculum.

We read the plan and teach to it. Many of our tutors have spent years in special education classrooms, so accommodations, modifications, and goal language are familiar territory rather than something to be handed a summary of. We coordinate with case managers and child study teams so tutoring reinforces the same goals the school team is working toward. Our learning disability tutoring page describes the approach in more detail.

Session-level attendance and progress notes, on a predictable schedule rather than on request. Districts have to track participation and progress in local assessment tools and state data systems, so we keep the record in a form your team can pull into that reporting instead of reconstructing it at the end of the year. Tell us what your grant or your board packet needs and we will match the format.

It depends on the size, the subjects, and the geography, and we will give you an honest answer rather than a hopeful one. A targeted caseload in a region where we already work can start in a matter of weeks. A larger district-wide program, or one in a part of the state where we need to recruit, takes longer. Because grant awards usually come with a start date attached, the sooner you tell us the shape of the program, the more realistic the timeline gets.

Yes, and the grant is written to allow all three. In practice, districts mix them: an in-school intervention block for students who will not stay late, an after-school group for those who will, and a summer stretch to hold the gains. We schedule around your buildings, your transportation constraints, and your families rather than asking all three to bend around us.

Tutoring gets funded from more than one place. Districts pay for supplemental instruction through Title I school improvement and targeted support, IDEA funds for students with disabilities, 21st Century Community Learning Centers for out-of-school-time programming, and local budget lines for home instruction and out-of-district placements. We can scale a program to any of those, and to a pilot cohort if you want evidence before committing a larger line.

Teacher Tutors provides tutoring services to multiple school districts across New Jersey, from targeted supplemental programs to high-need home instruction caseloads. We do not publish partner names on the website, because district agreements are their business to announce and not ours. Ask us directly and we will put you in touch with references who can speak to how the work actually runs.
