## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The tutoring market for schools has shaken out hard since ESSER money ended, so "best" now mostly means "still solvent, with evidence behind it." Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. Saga Education** - The strongest evidence base in the business, full stop. University of Chicago Education Lab RCTs found Chicago students in Saga's algebra tutoring gained 1-2.5 years of extra math learning in a single year and cut math failures by up to 63%. In-person/hybrid high-dosage math, embedded in the school day. Chicago Public Schools re-upped in July 2026 for 1,800 students, and Saga was picked for Michigan's statewide high-impact tutoring. It's a nonprofit, so cost-per-student is real but defensible. Now also does literacy via a Success for All partnership.

> 
> **2. Ignite Reading** - If the need is K-2 foundational reading, this is my first call rather than Saga. 15 minutes a day, 1:1,
