Deep dives

The power of personalized tutoring in learning

Research by Benjamin Bloom demonstrated that one-on-one tutoring can dramatically improve learning outcomes. In an experiment with average students, those who received personalized tutoring outperformed their counterparts by two standard deviations. The personalized attention, immediate feedback, and mastery-focused approach of tutoring helped students reach the top of the curve. This finding has significant implications for teaching someone to code or learn any new skill, as personalized mentoring can accelerate the learning curve and bridge knowledge gaps.
