Why surveying students about tutoring services matters

Student feedback is crucial if we want to improve tutoring services and boost academic success. Let’s put it plainly: if you’re not running effective Student Tutoring Services surveys, you’re missing out on real insights that could help more students succeed.

Here’s the reality: approximately 60% of college students have used some form of tutoring services during their academic journey [1]. That’s a massive chunk, and among those, nearly 70% in STEM majors seek help, versus only 50% in social sciences and humanities. If we’re not listening to these voices, we’re ignoring a goldmine of experiences and needs.

  • Over 75% of students say tutoring boosts their academic confidence. [2]

  • Student surveys on tutoring help identify gaps, trends, and hidden pain points.

  • Without regular feedback, we risk missing critical perspectives from first-generation students or those from lower-income backgrounds—over 65% of whom are more likely to use tutoring services. [1]

The bottom line: student recognition surveys and feedback loops make programs more effective, adapt to changing needs, and inform decisions that can lead to better learning outcomes for everyone. If you want to know the best questions for your Student Tutoring Services survey, we’ve put together expert guidance on that too.

The advantage of an AI survey generator for students

Building a great survey shouldn’t take hours or leave you second-guessing your questions. That’s where an AI survey generator really changes the game. Unlike manual survey creation—where you write out each question, think through potential follow-ups, and worry about respondent fatigue—an AI survey builder does the heavy lifting for you in seconds.

Why use AI for student surveys?

  • Speed and convenience: Generate a full, research-grade survey about Student Tutoring Services in seconds.

  • Better engagement: Conversational surveys increase both response rates and quality.

Specific’s tools provide the most natural, conversational survey experience available. Everything feels like a chat, not a quiz. You get in-depth, authentic feedback from students—without sacrificing quality or ease of use. (For a quick how-to, see how to create a Student Tutoring Services survey with AI.)

Designing questions that drive real student insights

Every strong survey starts with strong questions—and that’s where so many traditional surveys fall short. Asking something vague like, “How was your experience?” almost always leads to shallow responses. Instead, you want to ask specific, targeted questions that draw out actionable info. Here’s an example:

  • Bad question: “Was the tutoring helpful?” — too broad, easy to answer with one word (“Yes/No”).

  • Good question: “Can you share an example of how tutoring changed your performance in a specific class?” — now you get details you can actually use.

The beauty of using Specific’s AI survey builder is that it avoids “bad” questions from the start—leveraging expert templates and AI smarts. You can tweak and refine every question just by chatting with our AI editor (see how the AI survey editor works), so your survey fits exactly what you want to learn.

Tip: When in doubt, ask for specifics (“Tell us about a time you struggled with tutoring access.”), and avoid yes/no questions. Need more inspiration? Check out our guide on the best questions for Student Tutoring Services surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The biggest leap forward with conversational surveys: automatic follow-up questions. Specific’s AI uses context from the previous answer, just like a real researcher, to ask smarter, more focused follow-ups—right then and there.

This changes everything. Instead of collecting a stack of short or unclear responses that you’d have to clarify later by email (painful and slow), you get depth, clarity, and context instantly. Here’s what that looks like in real life:

  • Student: “The tutoring was fine.”

  • AI follow-up: “Can you tell me about a specific aspect of the tutoring that you found most helpful, or one you wish was improved?”

Or another example:

  • Student: “I used tutoring last semester, but not since.”

  • AI follow-up: “What made you stop using tutoring services after last semester?”

If you don’t ask these follow-ups, you end up with loose ends instead of clear, actionable insights. Try generating a survey—we think you’ll notice how natural and engaging these follow-ups make the experience. Learn more about AI-powered follow-up questions here.

Follow-ups make the survey a conversation, so every respondent feels heard—this is what makes it a true conversational survey.

How to deliver your tutoring services survey

One of the benefits of using Specific is that you can get your Student Tutoring Services survey out instantly using the delivery method that fits your audience best. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect if you want to email the survey to students, post it on a school website, or share in a group chat. Example: Run an end-of-semester feedback survey where every student can access the survey link from their inbox or LMS dashboard.

  • In-product surveys: Great for online learning platforms, student portals, or any software where students are already active. Example: Trigger feedback after a tutoring session finishes or prompt a mini-survey when a student visits the tutoring booking page.

If your audience is mostly accessing tutoring via web-based apps or online platforms, consider embedding the survey directly (in-product). If you’re reaching a wide group—including those not currently logged in to a digital service—a shareable landing page is the flexible choice.

Analyzing survey responses with AI: fast, deep insights

Sifting through survey results used to mean spreadsheets and late nights, but now you can use AI-powered survey analysis to instantly summarize responses and extract key themes. With Specific, AI takes raw feedback—whether short or long—and gives you actionable insights at a glance (think “top themes mentioned by students struggling with STEM subjects”). Features like automatic topic detection, instant summaries, and the ability to chat directly with AI about the results mean analysis is actually enjoyable (see how our AI survey response analysis works).
