Why Paper ?

Nearly every option for academic support, especially high-dosage tutoring, runs up against the same limitations: equity, cost, and scale. Unless you have Paper.

Districts face many challenges to providing high-dosage tutoring

Unmanageable
demand

Every learner needs extra help from time to time, and demands for tutoring are soaring across school communities. But staffing, scheduling, and other logistical hurdles stand in your way of sustaining tutoring programs that can serve every student—especially at the time, place, and volume needed.

Runaway
costs

Because it’s hard to predict demand, it’s also difficult to budget accurately. Overtime costs for on-staff educators quickly add up. And contracted tutoring services typically bill based on usage. The result is runaway costs and wasted expenses that are difficult to justify.

Shortage of
skill sets

Districts across the nation are already facing a teacher shortage. Finding, hiring, and retaining after-school educators skilled across a range of subjects—with the training to assist students with widely varying needs—is a daunting task for any administrator.
