Bloom’s 2 sigma problem was a fascinating study. Regarding the tutoring aspect, at College Connections we want to take this a step further. We use our in-house-designed software MentorMatch to connect students and tutors based on the strength of their personality compatibility. It has been said that “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” This echoes anecdotal evidence that students enjoy their work more when they get on with their teacher. Furthermore, we will reduce the cost of private tutoring by targeting schools recent alumni who are happy to tutor students in their schools for a lower rate than professional private tutors. We are currently hoping to conduct a large scale study with few schools to see whether personality-based tutoring matching can actually yield results beyond two sigma!
