We start with a free consultation to learn about your childs strengths, challenges, and goals. We look at learning style, subject needs, preferred schedule, and personality fit.

Our goal is a tutor your child connects with and looks forward to seeing.

Yes. We align sessions with Los Alamos Public Schools pacing and New Mexico standards. When possible, we review classroom materials like unit guides, rubrics, and upcoming tests so tutoring supports what is happening in class. We can coordinate with teachers, reinforce current units, and prepare for state assessments, AP coursework, and dual credit expectations. This alignment helps students keep up and build long term mastery.

We support students from elementary through adult learners. Common areas include:
– Math: number sense, pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, geometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics
– Science: general science, biology, chemistry, physics
– Reading and writing: phonics, comprehension, grammar, essays, research skills
– World languages: Spanish and more based on availability
– Study skills and executive functioning with our X-Skills program

We also help with enrichment for advanced learners and targeted support for specific gaps.

Yes. We offer in-home tutoring in Los Alamos and White Rock and online tutoring for families across the region. Many LANL families need evening or weekend sessions, and we can usually accommodate that. Online sessions are recorded so students can review before quizzes and exams. Weather, travel, or activities do not need to pause learning. We work with your familys schedule to keep sessions consistent.

We set clear goals at the start, such as specific skills, unit targets, or milestones like raising a quiz average. After each session, you receive a report that covers what was taught, how your child is progressing, and what is next. We check in regularly to review grades, homework completion, and confidence. Plans are adjusted as needed. Many local families tell us this approach works. One parent shared, “after a few months their student gained confidence and advanced several math levels, which helped them reach college level math.”

Yes. Our tutors are trained to work with students who have learning differences. We align our approach with IEP or 504 plans and focus on the strategies that help your child learn best.
