Personalized tutoring and academic support for K-12 students in Phoenix and online
How does tutoring and academic support at Sophos help my child?
We help children build their confidence, make meaningful progress, and feel less stressed out about school.
Our custom academic support meets your child exactly where they are, with the right blend of tutoring, subject-specific help, homework support, and test prep they need.
Executive function coaching is embedded in every academic session. Our team will learn about your school’s specific LMS (Google Classroom, Canvas, Gradelink, etc) and coach your student through navigating the system and understanding deadlines. Students feel a real sense of accomplishment after each tutoring session.
When does my child need additional academic support?
Every child and situation is different.
We typically see families when your child:✓ Wants to get ahead
✓ Is focused on developing specific skills while completing homework
✓ Understands the material in class, but struggles to complete or turn in their work✓ Experiences a decline in grades, confidence, or motivation
✓ Struggles with or refuses to do their homework and it’s starting to impact the family
✓ Needs help closing a specific gap, catching up, or preparing for a new level of learning
✓ Gets support at school that doesn’t match their needs or learning style
✓ Needs to prepare for an upcoming test like the HSPT, ACT, or SAT

TUTORING AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
1:1 Subject Tutoring
Our educational specialists will identify where your student is struggling or missing information and create a custom tutoring plan to get them caught up, on level, or ahead.
Homework Help
Whether your student is struggling to complete their homework or you’re tired of the daily homework battles, our team can help build their organizational and time-management skills, reduce friction, and address specific academic needs.
Skill Gap Support
It’s easy for students to slip through the cracks. Traditional classrooms and tutoring follow a prescribed plan, so it’s hard to target individual gaps. Our Skill Gap Support begins with a detailed evaluation to see exactly where your student needs reinforcement and support.
Study Support
Studying is a specific skill set that most students are never taught. If your child struggles to study for tests or isn’t getting the grades they are capable of, our Study Support service will teach them how to effectively study.
Test Prep
Is your child preparing for the HSPT? Our 12-week program will help them feel confident and ready for test day without the stress or overwhelm.
We also offer test prep for other standardized tests including the ACT and SAT.
How do we find the right tutoring and academic support for your child?

HSPT test prep
Let’s help your student get into their ideal high school! Our HSPT test prep matches students with similar test results in small groups to work with expert instructors.
