Academic Horizons

In Benjamin Bloom’s landmark study, students who learned a topic through one-one, individualized tutorial lessons, combined with regular formative assessment and corrective instruction, performed two standard deviations (2 sigma) better than students who received conventional classroom instruction.

Academic Horizons instructors are more than just tutors providing academic subject expertise. We strive to help students develop a sense of confidence in their academic abilities and "approach to learning."
