Tutoring Lab
at Beacon RVA
Welcome to a fresh, engaging approach to academic support. At Beacon RVA Learning Collaborative, we believe that learning should build confidence, spark curiosity, and meet each child exactly where they are.
Whether your student needs dedicated one-on-one guidance across subjects or a fun, interactive way to conquer math anxiety, our expert educators are here to help them thrive.
Comprehensive Private Tutoring (PreK – 6th Grade)
Every child learns differently. Our private tutoring is tailored specifically to your student’s unique learning style, pace, and academic goals.
-
All-Subject Support: From foundational reading and writing to science, history, and core elementary concepts.
-
Personalized Pacing: We identify individual learning gaps and build customized strategies to help students catch up, keep up, or get ahead.
-
Confidence Building: A supportive, low-stress environment where students feel safe to make mistakes and discover a true love for learning.
NEW! Small-Group Math Focus Groups
Math doesn’t have to mean worksheets and tears.
We are thrilled to launch our new Small-Group Math Focus Groups, designed to make math hands-on, collaborative, and genuinely fun. To ensure every single child receives deep, individualized attention, groups are strictly capped at just 5 students.
-
Targeted Gap-Filling: We pinpoint where your child might be feeling stuck and use interactive methods to bridge those foundational gaps.
-
Powered by Play: We ditch the boring drills in favor of high-engagement math games and tactile activities that make abstract concepts click.
-
Virginia SOL Aligned: Sessions are carefully designed by our licensed, current classroom educators to build the essential skills required by Virginia education standards while keeping learning joyful.
-
Small Setting, Big Impact: With a maximum of 5 kids per group, your child will get seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.
Colleen Howard
Licensed K-6 Teacher, Current 2nd Grade Teacher
My name is Colleen Howard, and I am so excited to begin my work with Beacon. As an elementary educator with 17 years of experience, I strive to meet both the individual and collective needs of every child I work with in order to support their learning journey.
My professional teaching license spans grades PreK through 6th grade, and as an aspiring school administrator, it is deeply important to me to connect with and enrich the lives of students and their families. At Beacon, I will be offering individual tutoring for students in PreK through 6th grade, as well as small group math instruction designed specifically for elementary kids.
I am passionate about creating meaningful educational experiences, and I truly look forward to meeting and working with you all!
