Middle & High School Tutoring

Mastering content and increasing confidence

Whether your child is struggling in a middle school Language Arts class or hoping to raise his or her B to an A in AP Physics, Hawthorne Learning Solutions provides expert tutoring in all areas of content. In addition to helping students master content, we work with them to learn study skills and habits so they can thrive on their own.

Passionate, engaging and professional, our team of educators provides individualized instruction so students’ learning needs are met and so that they thrive in the classroom.

Research shows that nothing improves student academic performance, confidence and knowledge more than one-on-one tutoring. Let us help your student today!

How We Work

blue quoteHLS has been really amazing for our son. He came to them as a struggling middle student in and now is a straight A student.

We start with an initial registration form that you will fill out detailing your child’s educational history. After that, Emma Hawthorne, co-founder of HLS. will review all pertinent information, from psychoeducational testing to grades. With this information, we’ll create a comprehensive plan and match your child with an experienced tutor.

After that, your child will be paired with an appropriate tutor, one with expertise in the content areas your child needs support in. If necessary, we’ll integrate executive skills function coaching into the sessions.

Using a collaborative approach with parents, teachers and HLS, your child will have clear goals and a plan to achieve them.

We’ll help you and your child succeed through expert tutoring, continual support and communication with you and the school.
