Does your child need a tutor?
Is your child struggling in one or more subjects? Does your child have dyslexia or just struggle to read? Is homework time unpleasant for your family? Does your child resist you when you try to teach him or her? Does he or she need support in staying organized, note-taking, and preparing for tests? Will your teen be taking the SAT this year?
There is hope! Your student can gain the skills and confidence he or she needs, and peace can be restored to your home.
Welcome to Peak Tutoring!
My name is Lara White, and I founded Peak Tutoring in 2007. Please check out this site for more details about our services, rates, tutors, and testimonials from parents and students. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an introductory tutoring session.
Why hire a tutor?
Parents have had us work with their children for many reasons, including:
- To complete homework and minimize homework battles at home
- To learn to read (we use Heggerty, Lindamood-Bell, and Orton Gillingham instruction: proven programs based on the science of reading to help students with and without dyslexia)
- To keep skills sharp and prevent the scientifically-proven phenomenon of “summer slide” or “brain drain” over breaks
- To preview material over the summer in order to lay a foundation and build confidence going into a new school year
- To prepare for the SAT test.
- To help a homeschooling parent by teaching a particular subject like math
- To help students stay current with schoolwork from another state while living part-time in Colorado to train in a competitive sport
What makes Peak Tutoring different?
Customized Lessons
We tailor-make lessons to meet individual needs, instead of using a one-size-fits-all curriculum like some learning centers. We can work on current homework or supplemental material can be provided to focus on a skill that is currently a struggle. We enjoy finding just the right resource or activity that will help get a concept across. It is so rewarding to see the “lightbulb click on” when a student successfully masters a new skill!
Flexibility
In addition to flexible lessons, we also have flexible hours and can work with students from around the world.
Professionalism & Integrity
Unlike some tutors, we are professional teachers. We have been background checked and fingerprinted. We are punctual, dress professionally, and have warm rapport with kids of all ages. We provide parents with a detailed summary after every session about what we did and how things went.
