## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## Short answer, in the order I'd actually consider them
> 
> The single biggest decision is *which problem you're buying for*. In-school high-dosage tutoring (a consistent tutor, 3-5x/week, during the school day, tied to your curriculum) is the model with real evidence behind it - pooled effect around **0.37 SD**. On-demand homework help is cheap and popular but has much weaker evidence of moving achievement. Rank accordingly.
> 
> **For high-dosage, in-school tutoring (where the evidence is):**
> 
> 1. **Saga Education** - the strongest research base of anyone in this space. Two RCTs of its 9th/10th grade math tutoring showed ~0.28 SD gains, roughly 1.5 extra years of math learning, and it clears ESSA evidence standards so it's Title/CSI fundable. Chicago Public Schools renewed with them. Math-focused, in-person or hybrid, genuinely expensive - this is the "do it properly" option.
> 2. **Littera Education** - the best choice if you want to run your *own* tutors (paraprofessionals, teachers, community partners) with professional scheduling, curriculum, and reporting infrastructure on top. They'll also do outcomes-based contracts, which is a meaningful signal of confidence.
> 3. **Catapult Learnin
