ABOUT US:
Charlie’s Porch Tutoring Center is located in Santa Cruz, California for students in grades K-8. Charlie’s Porch is dedicated to supporting students’ growth in all subject areas, whether they are in public, private, or home school. We also focus on supplementary and foundational skills to assist with academic achievement.
Charlie’s Porch uses a different approach in that we do not give our students more assignments outside of sessions. With the classwork and homework our students already have, Charlie’s Porch tutors are ready to assist with all course work, test preparation, or any missing or late assignments. In addition to school assignments, we provide materials and our own curriculum to create a structured plan that is individualized for each of our students.
