Is your child struggling in Reading, Writing, Math, or even basic Life Skills? 

Many parents in Utah are navigating the complexities of supporting their children's education—whether through homeschooling or helping with schoolwork—and the pressure can feel overwhelming. You want the best for your child, but how can you support them when you're already stretched thin?

Here’s What the Landscape Looks Like:

• Homeschooling Trends in Utah: As of the 2023-24 school year, approximately 5.76% of Utah students are homeschooled, reflecting a growing interest in home-based education.

• Public School Challenges: Utah public schools have an average student-to-teacher ratio of 22:1, which can limit the amount of individual attention each student receives.

• Guidance Counselor Shortage: The state faces a significant shortage of school guidance counselors, with each counselor serving nearly 500 students on average.
  
  

These statistics highlight the daily challenges parents face when trying to provide individualized support for their child’s academic and developmental needs. You’re not alone.

I Understand—Because I’ve Been There

As a teacher with over 10 years of experience working with K–8 students, I know exactly how difficult it can be to meet every child’s needs in a busy classroom. I’ve worked with children facing all kinds of challenges—ADHD, Autism, IEPs, behavioral struggles, and family difficulties.

In the classroom, I would organize small groups of 6–7 students, rotating between them, hoping the independent work would meet their needs. But the reality is, some kids fell through the cracks. I felt the struggle of trying to give every child the attention they deserved without the support I needed.

That’s why I started 7 Pillars Tutoring & Mentoring—to ensure that every child receives the one-on-one attention, support, and guidance they need to thrive.
