Tutoring in Athens, Georgia
Tutoring for Athens students, K-12 and college, matched one-on-one with a degreed tutor. Sessions are built around Georgia Milestones and your student's classroom curriculum, plus SAT, ACT, and AP exam prep.
Tutoring for Athens students.
Blackmon Tutoring serves Athens students. Every student is matched with a tutor based on subject, grade level, and learning style, then meets on a shared digital whiteboard, the same process we use everywhere else in Georgia and across the country.
Athens is home to the University of Georgia, and many Athens families are already planning ahead for UGA admissions.
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 Georgia Milestones?
The state assessment Athens families ask us about most.
Georgia Milestones Assessment System
The Georgia Milestones Assessment System measures student learning in English language arts and math for grades 3-8, with End-of-Course tests in high school for courses like Algebra I, American Literature, Biology, and U.S. History. High school End-of-Course scores count toward a student's final grade in that class.
Because Georgia Milestones End-of-Course exams directly affect a student's course grade, Atlanta, Savannah, and Athens families often start tutoring as soon as a student is struggling in one of those specific courses, rather than waiting for a report card.
