A snapshot of what Mrs. Barnes's students have achieved.
Real recognition earned by Mrs. Barnes's students. Last names are removed for privacy.
In 2024, researchers combined 265 gold-standard studies of tutoring programs into one analysis. Here is what they found — and why this practice is built the way it is.
Picture a class of one hundred. The average student starts ahead of 50 of them. After regular tutoring, that same student stands ahead of 66 — among the largest gains ever measured for any school intervention.
Small groups — one-to-one up to four. Regular sessions in a steady weekly rhythm. And the same trained teacher every week, not rotating helpers. This practice is built on all three.
Small tutoring practices — under a hundred students — produced roughly two and a half times the progress of the huge national programs. One teacher who knows every child is not a limitation. It is the winning design.

"Mrs. B was amazing in the short time I hired her to help my daughter pass Spanish 2. Mrs. B was very patient with my daughter. Also, she was very accommodating every week."
"Ms B is an amazing tutor and worked wonders with my daughter regarding middle school math. Ms. B created lesson plans and did obvious preparation outside of the allotted tutoring time. Her communication is very timely and above expectations. Ms. B would also find additional worksheets and videos for my daughter to work through on her own time for additional practice. I appreciate everything she did for my daughter and will be using her again in the future"
"Hello everyone, I have been working with Ms. Ashley since 2021. She met my children in middle school. She is amazing with my children. I have two boys who are now in high school. She is dedicated and focused on their education and their progression both inside the classroom and outside. I consider her my second mom. She is very flexible with her schedule and she considers extracurricular. She stays on top of my boys and she tutors even in the summer. I greatly appreciate everything she does. We love you, Ms. A"
"Mrs. Ashley is an amazing tutor. I hired her during the middle of the school year to assist my daughter with her low grades in math and social studies. With Mrs. Ashley's help my daughter's grades went from failing (36) to passing (81). I plan on using her services during the summer so that my daughter can be better prepared for the upcoming school year. I would recommend Mrs. Ashley to any parent looking to get their child the educational assistance that they need."
"Exceptional tutor and she help my son grades improve Would definitely recommend"
"Hello everyone, Mrs. B. is a wonderful tutor. She's on-time, reliable and most important my children love her. She has been working with my children for over a year now. And I greatly appreciate everything she has done."
"She has been teaching my three children throughout the pandemic on zoom. Ashley's amazing to work full time with two children of her own and still make time twice a week for two hours to teach my kids. I don't want to praise her because she might get too popular to teach my kids."
