Welcome to Achievement Tutoring
Arizona Department of Education Mission
We are a service organization committed to raising academic outcomes and empowering parents.
The Achievement Tutoring Program is a new tutoring program designed to provide reading, writing, and mathematics tutoring for students in grades K-12. The tutoring is provided by approved tutoring providers with the goal of increasing student proficiency on the statewide AASA in alignment with Arizona State Standards as well as improving reading, writing, and math in every grade level. There are many tutoring programs available to parents and students that the Arizona Department of Education offers. To serve as many students as possible, if your student is eligible for an already existing tutoring program, please utilize that program first before noting your interest in the Achievement Tutoring Program.
Because of federal rules on the extension of Covid relief (ESSER) funds, this is no longer available through public schools but can be accessed through private providers through the Department of Education.
Existing Tutoring Programs:
- State Tutoring - If your student is enrolled in a D or F school, a tutoring program already exists for your student. To enroll your student and learn more, please visit the State Tutoring website.
If your student is not eligible for a program listed above, they may be eligible for the new Achievement Tutoring Program.
This program utilizes funds from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) program to provide tutoring services to those students who may have been impacted during the pandemic and is free to qualifying Arizona public school students in grades K-12.
The Achievement Tutoring program will consist of:
- Six-week tutoring blocks with 60 minute sessions up to four days per week.
- Students complete a pre- and post-test to determine tutoring needs during each tutoring block for grades 1-8.
- Tutoring sessions aligned to the Arizona Standards in reading, writing, and math.
- Communication between the parents and the tutor.
The program is open to any student enrolled in a public or charter school in grades K-12 with an emphasis on those who tested below proficient in reading, writing, or mathematics on the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) and are not eligible for an existing support service the Arizona Department of Education offers. We have expanded the program to all students in grades K-12 regardless of their proficiency in reading, writing, and math. We also offer ACT Prep for high school students.
The Achievement Tutoring Program is free to parents and students. The Arizona Department of Education is using ESSER III funds to provide tutoring for students who have been impacted during the pandemic.
The program includes tutoring in reading and writing aligned with the Arizona English Language Arts Standards. It also includes tutoring in mathematics aligned with the Arizona Mathematics Standards. High school students are eligible for ACT Prep tutoring as well.
District tutors will consist of qualified teachers and substitutes. Tutoring providers in this program are all approved providers that meet Arizona Department of Education qualifications.
Public school districts or charter schools will set up tutoring sessions that can be in-person or online through a user-friendly platform. Tutoring takes place before or after school hours only.
