My son absolutely loves his weekly lessons with his Tutero tutor Tristan. To quote my son, he says that he is a 'really good teacher' and 'makes learning fun.’

I've used Tutero for 4 months so far for my 9th-grade son. It's seriously been nothing short of a miracle! My son does his tutoring without complaint and his grades have improved significantly.

How does homeschooling work in Washington?
Washington gives families two main legal paths. The first is filing a Declaration of Intent with your local school district by September 15 each year for any child age 8 to 18. You also need to meet one of the parent-qualification options under RCW 28A.225.010, cover the 11 required subject areas, and complete an annual assessment (either a standardised test or a written evaluation by a certified person). The second path is part-time enrollment in a public school's Parent Partnership Program or Alternative Learning Experience, which gives families access to district resources while keeping most instruction at home. Tutero tutors work with families on both paths, and can build sessions around your annual plan, the required subjects, and the assessment you have chosen for the year.
What does a Tutero homeschool tutor in Washington actually do?
Your tutor takes a small but important piece of the week off your plate. Most families use Tutero for the subjects that are hardest to teach at home — usually math, writing, or science labs — and keep the rest of the day under their own direction. Sessions are 1-on-1 and online, so a student in Bellevue, Spokane, Tacoma, or out in the Methow Valley gets the same access to specialist tutors. Tutors plan against your goals for the year, mark work, give your child specific feedback, and send you a short note after each lesson so you can keep your records up to date. There are no contracts and you only pay for the lessons you book, starting from US$45/hr.
Can a Tutero tutor help prepare my child for the SBA or WCAS?
Yes. Many Washington homeschool families choose the standardised-test route for their annual assessment and pick the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) in English language arts and math, or the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) for grades 5, 8 and 11. Tutero tutors can build a preparation plan that walks your child through the actual question types, the on-screen tools, and the kinds of multi-step problems the SBA uses. We work backwards from your test window so the prep arrives at the right time, rather than as a last-minute push. If you go the written-evaluation route instead, your tutor can help you and your evaluator put together a clean portfolio of work samples.
What subjects and grades do you cover?
We cover Grade K-12 across the 11 subjects Washington asks homeschoolers to teach: reading, writing, spelling, language, math, science, social studies, history, health, occupational education, and art and music appreciation. The most common requests we get from Washington families are math (especially the jump from elementary into pre-algebra and then into Algebra 1 and 2), writing and composition for middle and high school, and high-school science with labs. We can also support advanced students sitting AP exams, students working through Running Start coursework, and students who learn differently and need a tutor who is patient with that.
How does Tutero work with part-time public school enrollment?
A lot of Washington homeschool families are dual-enrolled through a Parent Partnership Program or Alternative Learning Experience — places like Cascade Parent Partnership, Insight School of Washington, or a local district ALE. Your tutor can sit alongside that arrangement. If your ALE supervisor has asked for a specific curriculum, your tutor will teach to it. If you are using district resources for one subject and homeschooling the others, your tutor focuses on the home-taught subjects so nothing falls through the gaps. We will not duplicate what the district is already providing — the goal is to make your week simpler, not busier.
What does homeschool tutoring with Tutero cost in Washington?
Tutoring with Tutero starts at US$45/hr in Washington and the rate is the same across Grade K-12, so a Grade 2 reading session costs the same as a Grade 11 Algebra 2 session. There are no contracts, no sign-up fees, and no minimum number of lessons — you book what you need, week by week. You are billed after each lesson so you only ever pay for what your child actually does. Most Washington families start with one subject and one session a week and add more later if it is helping. If a tutor is not the right fit for your child, we will match you with a new one inside 24 hours.
