The standards can be useful to a tutor's work with his or her tutee in the following ways:
- The standards provide tutors with an accurate picture of the expectations their tutees must meet at school.
- Tutors can see if their tutee is on grade level, and if not, which grade most appropriately correlates with their tutee's abilities.
- Tutors can develop lesson plans for their tutoring sessions by seeing the sequence in which subjects are taught as well as which concepts go together.
