Fresko, Barbara; Eisenberg, Theodore – Journal of Experimental Education, 1985
Socially disadvantaged Israeli children in grades three or six were paired with university student tutors. Mathematics and reading achievement were measured after one year of tutoring, two years of tutoring, or no intervention. One year of tutoring yielded some gains; however, a second year did not increment them. (Author/GDC)
