## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's how I'd actually break this down - "tutoring platform for schools" splits into three different purchases, and buying the wrong category is the most common mistake.
> 
> ## High-dosage tutoring (the one with real evidence behind it)
> 
> If the goal is moving achievement for students who are behind, this is the category. It means 3-5 sessions/week, same tutor, during the school day.
> 
> 1. **Saga Education** - the strongest evidence base in the sector. ESSA Tier 1, built on randomized trials in Chicago Public Schools where 9th/10th graders gained roughly +0.18 to +0.40 SD in math and passed math courses at a much higher rate than controls. Nonprofit, math-focused, in-person/hybrid, and they'll also license their model and tools if you want to run it with your own staff. Start here for secondary math.
