Ranking Methodology for The Tutoring 100
Our approach to identifying the hundred most influential people in tutoring is inspired by the principles of PageRank, the algorithm originally developed by Google to rank web pages. The core idea is that influence is not just about individual achievements or popularity; it’s about how an individual is recognized by others within the field.
How It Works:
Network of Influence: We consider the tutoring community as a network where each individual’s influence is interlinked with others. If a highly influential tutor recognizes another person as emerging or important, that recognition significantly boosts the latter's standing in our rankings.
Cumulative Impact: We aggregate influence from various sources, including direct endorsements, collaborations, citations, and mentions by other prominent figures in tutoring. The more respected the source of the recognition, the greater the impact on the ranking.
Emerging Influencers: Our methodology is designed to highlight emerging talent. If established leaders in tutoring endorse or recognize someone as an upcoming influential figure, that person is given substantial weight in our rankings. This ensures that new voices and innovators have the opportunity to be recognized alongside more established names.
Data-Driven Insights: We utilize a combination of quantitative data, such as social media presence, published work, and industry contributions, along with qualitative assessments from experts within the tutoring field to build a comprehensive view of influence.
By modeling our ranking system on this network-based approach, we aim to not only celebrate current leaders in tutoring but also to identify and uplift those who are shaping the future of education.
