Tutoring in Colorado
Tutoring for Colorado students, K-12 and college, matched one-on-one with a degreed tutor. Sessions are built around CMAS and your student's classroom curriculum, plus SAT, ACT, and AP exam prep.
Tutoring built around Colorado classrooms.
Blackmon Tutoring serves Colorado students, from Denver and Colorado Springs to Boulder. Every student is matched with a tutor based on subject, grade level, and learning style, then meets on a shared digital whiteboard.
Colorado families come to us for everything from elementary reading support to CMAS-aligned subject tutoring and SAT prep, which carries extra weight since the SAT is part of Colorado's own state testing system.
Every tutor holds a bachelor's or master's degree, and many are certified classroom teachers. Several specialize in supporting students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences, in addition to standard subject tutoring and test prep.
What is CMAS?
The state assessment Colorado families ask us about most.
Colorado Measures of Academic Success
CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests English language arts, math, and science at various grades. In high school, Colorado also gives the PSAT 9, PSAT 10, and SAT free to students during the school day as part of its statewide accountability system.
Boulder is home to the University of Colorado, and because Colorado's state testing already includes the PSAT and SAT, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder families often start test-prep-style tutoring earlier than families in states with a separate exam.

What Colorado families should know about tutoring.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most before a Colorado family books their first session.
What is CMAS, and why does it matter in Colorado?
CMAS (Colorado Measures of Academic Success) tests English language arts, math, and science in grades 3-8. Schools use the results to track progress and identify students who need extra support.
Why do Colorado students take the PSAT and SAT as part of state testing?
Colorado builds the PSAT 9, PSAT 10, and SAT into its official high school accountability system, giving them free during the school day. That means test-prep tutoring in Colorado often starts earlier, by ninth grade, than in states where the PSAT is optional.
How does tutoring work for a Colorado student?
Your student meets their tutor on a shared digital whiteboard at a scheduled time each week, whether they're in Denver, Colorado Springs, or Boulder. Notes and practice problems are shared after each session.
When should SAT prep start for a Colorado student?
Since the PSAT 9 starts in ninth grade in Colorado, many families begin light, skill-building sessions early and ramp up to full SAT prep 12-16 weeks before the 11th-grade SAT date.
