K–5 Tutoring and Gifted Test Preparation

Our specialized gifted test preparation program serves academically advanced students in Lake Washington, Issaquah, Bellevue, Northshore, and other school districts. This above-grade-level class prepares kindergarten through fifth-grade students for fall gifted entrance examinations, including COGAT, NNAT, and ITBS assessments.

We provide instruction in reading, mathematics, and cognitive ability content up to two levels above each student's current grade. Our comprehensive curriculum covers reading comprehension, vocabulary development, advanced mathematics, and nonverbal reasoning skills. Students receive personalized challenge levels tailored to their readiness, typically working above their grade-level difficulty to build confidence while stretching their academic abilities.

Experienced instructors utilize research-based methods in small-group settings, teaching critical thinking skills and test-taking strategies. The program is ideal for students who demonstrate above-grade-level abilities and are preparing for the fall Advanced Placement testing. Benefits include increased academic confidence, stronger problem-solving skills, and improved performance on gifted-program assessments.

Our program, for KG through fifth grade, builds literacy skills through engaging, age-appropriate instruction. We provide systematic instruction in four core areas: reading comprehension, vocabulary development, language arts, and spelling. Students work with experienced teachers who understand young learners' developmental needs and create supportive environments for academic growth.

We help build strong foundational skills while fostering a love of reading and writing. Students develop phonemic awareness, decoding strategies, reading fluency, and comprehension skills through a variety of texts and interactive activities. Our vocabulary instruction focuses on word relationships, context clues, and academic language development. Language arts components include grammar, sentence structure, and writing mechanics, while spelling instruction incorporates phonics patterns and sight word recognition.

Ideal for students who require additional support, enrichment, or want to enhance their English language arts skills. Our small-group instruction ensures personalized attention, allowing each student to progress at their own pace while building confidence in English literacy.

Our program, designed for KG through fifth grade, develops strong mathematical foundations through engaging instruction that fosters a deep understanding of key concepts. We focus on four essential areas: number sense, mathematical operations, story problems, and problem-solving strategies. Students work with instructors who make math accessible and enjoyable, building computational skills and reasoning abilities.

We emphasize conceptual understanding alongside procedural fluency. Students develop number sense through concepts of place value, counting strategies, and knowledge of number relationships. Operations instruction covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using multiple approaches, including visual models, manipulatives, and traditional algorithms. Story problems help students connect math to real-world situations, while problem-solving strategies teach students to approach challenges systematically.

Ideal for students who need additional support, want to accelerate their math skills, or desire to strengthen their mathematical foundation. Our small group setting allows for individualized instruction, ensuring each student progresses at their optimal pace while developing critical thinking skills.
