Our Approach
We believe that every child wants to learn. We also believe that every student can succeed with the right support. Our mission is to help you navigate the educational system to receive that support at school and to provide one-on-one supplemental tutoring so your child can learn and thrive.
- Our college student felt overwhelmed and disorganized before settling into several sessions with Matt at Hawthorne Learning. Her confidence has grown substantially from Fall to Spring quarter along with the use of a detailed planner. She now has routine built into her schedule. The quiz/test, writing support and overall encouragement they've provided has been invaluable for our daughter.
- Noelle
- The tutors at Hawthorne have helped her in content areas, improved her organizational skills as well as gain the confidence to advocate for herself with her teachers. In addition, Matt and Emily helped us to identify that our daughter had been struggling with reading and encouraged us to push for support from the district, which allowed her to receive accommodations she needed to be successful in her courses.
- Dave
- My daughter was struggling to balance a full load at community college, which left her feeling discouraged and ill-equipped, until she began Executive Function Coaching with Emma. She now is gaining the skills to manage her course work, her part time job and social activities. She even needed to bump up her load to four classes this last trimester and has straight A's.
- Laurie
- We're so thankful the high school counselor suggested HLS. The tutors have helped our daughter in content areas, improved her organizational skills and gain the confidence to advocate for herself with her teachers. Matt and Emma helped us identify that our daughter was struggling with reading and encouraged us to push for support from the district, allowing her to receive accommodations to be successful in her courses. Matt does an excellent job communicating how each session goes as well as answering any questions we have as they come up. We're thrilled with the positive changes she's experienced.
- Molly
- Our son is in his second year of tutoring with Hawthorne Learning. His growth and maturation, including both academic and personal areas, has been amazing. He has learned how to organize and prioritize tasks, set realistic time frames and goals, use effective and efficient strategies, and to self-monitor and self-advocate for himself in all academic areas. The tutors helped our child find his voice, self-confidence, and personal agency with his teachers.
- Paula
- Matt and Emma were so flexible with my son's busy schedule, targeted exactly what he needed to work on and did not waste time. I attribute my son's success on the SAT to the amazing learning environment that Hawthorne Learning Solutions has developed.
- Kevin
- Our daughter was struggling with reading during early elementary school and it was starting to effect her abilities in all subjects. We started once per week tutoring sessions with HLS. Over several years, she had many tutors, all who were excellent. When she started, her reading was below grade level. She has now blossomed into a child who reads books for enjoyment and is one of the top students in her class.
- Kerri
- If you are considering hiring Emma as your advocate to help you through the IEP process…..DO NOT HESITATE for one moment! I underestimated my ability to navigate the first meeting leaving me feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Emma joined me through the the rest of the process and she successfully secured the services my son needed and deserved. Emma is a true professional—incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and extremely effective!
- Jennifer
- Our son took the SAT prep course with Hawthorne Learning Solutions. He said the course gave him testing tips and techniques that he would not have learned anywhere else. The course was a tremendous help and I attribute his high SAT scores to this course.
- Abigail
- After trying at least two other tutoring businesses, we were SO happy to find Hawthorne! Matt and Emma really worked hard to pair us with a tutor with expertise in AP Physics. Our daughter had missed some school due to a health issue and our tutor at Hawthorne made a huge difference in helping to fill in the material she missed.
- Catherine
- Made a huge difference for my daughter! Hawthorne has been a huge help for my 10 daughter to catch up and get ahead of subjects she’s struggled with. Math and Reading were two areas where she was struggling and has gone to the advanced level math at her school and enjoys reading! She loved her tutor as well and the whole process was a positive experience!
- Aretha
- HLS has made an incredibly positive impact on my 10th grade son's study habits and improved his academic scores dramatically! Emma and Matt offer the most professional and individually tailored one on one tutoring program in the Pacific Northwest, hands down. They have expertise in all subject matter and are flexible with scheduling! They're in close contact with his school's faculty and work with them to ensure my son reaches his academic goals. We're in good hands with Hawthorne!
- Steve
- The difference HLS has made in both my boys is amazing. We went from a nightly battle over homework and grades to him getting more organized and having much more control over the situation. My youngest just started high school and he has maintained all As in his classes. Matt and Emma have done a great job of finding an effective way of communicating with my kids and helping them learn and make good educational decisions. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so.
- Shauna
- She has worked with a couple teachers and has really enjoyed them both. They truly seem to invest in their students. The reports they send after each session is very detailed. Our child's understanding of the subjects and her over all confidence has significantly improved. Our only regret is not getting her signed up with Hawthorne Solutions sooner.
- Cassie
- Our son received math tutoring at Hawthorne Learning Solutions during middle school, and now most recently, participated in their SAT prep course. He has always done well academically as a result of the help he's received at Hawthorne, but what really sticks out to me is Hawthorne's thoughtful approach to learning and the care they extend to both student and family. Both Matt and Emma are wonderful humans, and as such, they hire wonderful humans, too!
- Shannon
- Our child who was diagnosed with executive function disorder and has had major setbacks in their education. Thanks to Emma and Matt and their amazing team our child has grown exponentially in their academics and their self-confidence has improved immeasurably! Navigating the educational system and having a child who needs different support to be successful is difficult and Emma has been a strong advocate for our family in getting our needs met.
- Milo
- Emma played an instrumental role in helping me secure my daughter secure an IEP, and continues to check in every year to make sure she is meeting her goals. Hawthorne Learning has truly been a class above the rest. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to helping my kids succeed have been nothing short of outstanding.
- Jill
- I’m beyond amazed and appreciative of the services my daughter received. Hawthorne helped me advocate for my daughter whose 504 plan was being dismissed by the school . The geometry tutoring and executive functioning skills were highly effective. My daughter did a complete turnaround and finished the school year successfully.
