K-12 Tutoring & Test-Prep Learning Center
Learning that actually sticks
Compass & Chalk pairs every student with the same tutor, every session, and builds their plan from a real diagnostic instead of a generic worksheet packet. Progress gets reported in plain language, not just a grade.
Same tutor, every session
Compass & Chalk opened in 2015 on one rule: a student keeps the same tutor for as long as they're enrolled, not a rotating roster of whoever's free that afternoon. Continuity is most of what actually moves a grade.
Every student starts with a 45-minute diagnostic before their first lesson, so the plan is built around what's actually confusing them — not a generic packet handed to every kid in the room.
- One assigned tutor per student, every session
- Diagnostic assessment before the first lesson
- Plain-language progress reports after every visit
- Small group and one-on-one options
What we teach
From elementary reading to a college essay, every program starts with the diagnostic, not a guess at grade level.
Elementary Tutoring
Reading, writing, and math support built around what's actually confusing right now.
Middle & High School Subjects
Algebra through AP coursework, coached by tutors who studied the subject, not just taught it.
Test Prep (SAT/ACT)
Timed practice, section strategy, and score tracking across every practice test.
Homework Help & Study Skills
Nightly structure for kids who know the material but lose it in the chaos of homework.
College Application Support
Essay coaching and application timeline planning with a dedicated advisor.
Summer Learning Programs
Half-day sessions that catch kids up or keep skills sharp over break.
Progress you can actually see
We measure ourselves the same way a report card does — by whether the grade actually moved.
A look at the classrooms
From report card season
"Same tutor for two years running. She knows exactly where my son gets stuck before he even says it out loud."
"The diagnostic caught a gap two years of report cards never flagged. Her grade moved a full letter by the second month."
"SAT score jumped 180 points after the prep package. The practice-test tracking made the progress impossible to ignore."
