Tutoring for Jackson students.
Blackmon Tutoring serves Jackson 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 Mississippi and across the country.
Jackson is the Mississippi state capital and the state's largest city.
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 MAAP?
The state assessment Jackson families ask us about most.
Mississippi Academic Assessment Program
MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests English language arts and math for grades 3-8, science at select grades, and specific end-of-course subjects in high school like Algebra I and English II.
Oxford is home to the University of Mississippi, and families across Jackson, Hattiesburg, Oxford, and Natchez often use MAAP results to decide which subject needs the most attention heading into the next school year.
