Abstract: This brief is a follow-up to WestEd's 2025 evaluation of the Air Tutors high-dosage math tutoring program (Fong et al., 2025). Whereas the 2025 evaluation assessed the impact of the Air Tutors program on short-term student outcomes, the evaluation described in this brief assessed the impact of the Air Tutors program on long-term student outcomes. More specifically, this evaluation sought to answer the following research question: Does student participation in the Air Tutors program have a positive impact on math achievement as measured by the state standardized summative math assessment that is administered 1 year after the delivery of the tutoring?
