Embedded tutoring is a powerful academic support model where tutors work directly within courses, providing real-time assistance alongside instructors. Unlike traditional tutoring, which happens outside the classroom, embedded tutoring ensures students receive immediate, course-specific help, improving engagement and retention.
Research shows that embedded tutoring leads to higher course completion rates, better student engagement, and improved academic performance.
