Tutors, meaning 1 on 1.
Also, "leveled" classes would mean that after an initial phase of seeing where each student was at, there would be a couple different classes for the same class, each geared to a different style of teaching that catered to their needs. Not only would this benefit student A, but student B as well. It would also allow for more students to be added to the rosters and rotated through each level.
I'm thinking the idea would be that a large class for math, or whatever else, would accommodate a large volume of students. They would be tested and assigned to one of 3 levels in the particular math curriculum. Each class would be taught differently and at different speeds, focusing on the things that needed to be focused on. Periodic testing would be provided to ascertain whether a student could be moved up a level. The idea would be to have all students moved to level 3 for that class by the end of the school year.
It's basically mass tutoring.
