Research & Progress

Learn what works, improve it, and share the reasoning.

Research helps Tutoring2Inspire measure its programs, understand student experience, and make better decisions with school and community partners.

Organization-wide research

Most of the work begins with our own programs.

Tutoring2Inspire’s central research agenda studies the effectiveness of educational support, cultural exchange, digital learning, and long-term school relationships.

Educational methods

Which forms of support improve learning?

Compare subject methods, student participation, tutor preparation, digital tools, baseline assessments, and follow-up outcomes.

  • Weekly educational support and cultural exchange
  • Improved testing outcomes
  • A fully functional computer lab
  • Ongoing coordination with school leadership
  • Continued measurement and program adjustment

Cultural exchange

What changes through recurring connection?

Study how weekly interaction affects communication, confidence, global awareness, belonging, school engagement, and willingness to participate.

  • Student surveys and reflections
  • Participation and retention patterns
  • Facilitator observations
  • Academic confidence and school connection

Partnership sustainability

What makes a relationship last?

Examine whether school-led coordination, local decision-making, recurring contact, and shared measurement produce stronger and more durable programs.

  • School priority alignment
  • Local leadership and committees
  • Resource use and follow-up
  • Long-term program continuity

Methods

Numbers explain change. People explain why.

Our approach combines quantitative and qualitative evidence so that impact is not reduced to one score or one story.

01

Baseline and follow-up assessment

Compare learning and participation over time.

02

Interviews and focus groups

Listen to students, educators, families, and community leaders.

03

School and program observation

Understand context, interaction, and implementation.

04

Program and participation data

Review attendance, continuity, activities, resources, and reach.

Independent research

Focused questions led by the co-founders.

These individual projects remain smaller than the organization-wide work of measuring and improving Tutoring2Inspire’s programs.

Educational experiences of Dalit and Majhi students

Jay is conducting an independent qualitative study in rural Nepal comparing the educational experiences of Dalit and Majhi students. Interviews, focus groups, school observations, and data analysis explore the social and economic conditions that contribute to educational disparities and possible ways to improve opportunity for marginalized communities.
