Whether your child is struggling in a middle school Language Arts class or hoping to raise their 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!

We start with an initial registration form detailing your child’s current performance and academic goals. 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.
We know it’s stressful when your child is struggling at school or has fallen behind, 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.
Regular communication with your child’s teachers will ensure that our work supports and blends with what’s going on in the classroom. You’ll see your child’s confidence, happiness and self-esteem rise as they start to feel successful! Our tutors know how to work with students so they feel good about themselves and are excited to learn.
Frequency and length of tutoring sessions vary but range between 1-2 times per week for 55 to 85 minutes per session.
Parents drop off children and we’ll greet you at the door.
We strive to pair students with the same tutor; however, schedules sometimes change and so do tutors. Our goal is a consistent match.
We value feedback and know that a good fit is key to successful learning. If it isn’t a good fit, please let us know and we will pair your student with a different tutor.
Tutoring sessions are at our learning center at 2110 Iron Street in Bellingham’s Sunnyland neighborhood. We also offer zoom and online sessions.
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.
Contact Emma today so we can set your child up with the learning supports he or she needs to thrive.
