In addition to our organization and academic coaching, HLS offers support for your child—providing support systems away from home so you don’t have to worry from afar. In Bellingham, we provide encouragement and support through face-to-face meetings, texts and phone calls.
We also can help students arrange meetings with the counseling center on Western Washington’s campus and work with a network of local therapists. We’ll make sure your child is getting the accommodations, support, and attention he or she needs.
Expert instruction
After we’ve put support structures in place so your son or daughter can succeed, we get down to school work. Our team of specialized tutors can offer expert instruction in the most challenging college courses—from organic chemistry to calculus.
In addition to content tutoring, we also work on the foundations of college learning: note taking for classes and textbook readings, brainstorming and outlining term papers, and preparing for exams.
Our son took advantage of the tutoring and mentorship provided by Hawthorne Learning. It's one of the best investments we made.
We know it’s stressful when your child is struggling at school or has fallen behind, especially when they are far from home. So we provide the support you and your child need. With flexible scheduling, individualized sessions, and tutors who are committed, professional, and experienced, your work with HLS will be easy to arrange and productive.
Our years of experience working with college students and navigating the college system means we know how to quickly assess where your child is and make a plan to get back on track and to succeed. Regular communication will ensure that you know where your child stands in their courses and what needs to be done. You’ll see your child’s confidence, happiness and self-esteem rise as he or she starts to feel successful!

All of our time is important—we value your time and ours.
We request notice of change of availability or cancellations by Thursday at noon of the week prior. Cancellations and changes made after this will be charged in full. This is to avoid changes that cause work on our end and impact other families as we request time/day changes.
If you are late, we will text and call you after 5 minutes. After 15 minutes, the meeting will be closed and there will be a cancellation charge.
