Since 2004, the live, one-on-one online tutoring from Growing Stars has proactively helped thousands of students get better grades in school, and score well in competitive tests.
Our teachers are highly qualified, and most of them have Masters’ Degrees in the subjects.
Every child has an Education Manager who manages tutoring to suit the child’s needs, and maintains a relationship with the parents.
Unlike those who provide instant tutoring or homework help only, our tutors spend time preparing for the sessions.
We follow exactly the same textbook that the student follows in school.
Your child can participate from the comfortable environment of your home, saving the time and money you would spend commuting to a tutoring center.
Finding reliable, high-quality academic support in a military-centered community like Fort Lewis / Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) can be challenging—especially for busy families balancing schoolwork, long commutes, deployments, training schedules, and extracurricular activities. Growing Stars makes learning easier by bringing expert, personalized online tutoring directly to families on Fort Lewis, McChord Field, and surrounding communities such as Lakewood, DuPont, Steilacoom, Tacoma, and Lacey.Whether your student is tackling elementary reading, middle-school math, high-school chemistry, or preparing for college entrance exams like the SAT or ACT, our experienced tutors provide one-on-one support that leads to measurable academic improvement.
At Growing Stars, we build customized learning plans tailored to each student’s strengths, challenges, learning style, and academic goals. Because every learner is unique, our tutoring is aligned with their individual needs and current school expectations.
Whether your student attends a Clover Park School District school (serving most on-base residents), a nearby district such as Bethel, Steilacoom, or North Thurston, or a local private school, our tutoring supports Washington State Learning Standards and complements classroom instruction.
Military families value flexibility—and so do we.
Growing Stars provides:
Live, one-on-one online instruction through our secure learning platform
Flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends to accommodate duty hours
A stable tutor for continuity, even if your family relocates
No commuting, no rigid schedules, and no one-size-fits-all lessons
Our tutors help students build academic confidence, independent study habits, and a genuine interest in learning—especially helpful for students experiencing frequent PCS moves or school transitions.
Every student begins with a free academic assessment to identify their strengths, skill gaps, and learning preferences. Based on these results, we design a personalized learning plan and match your child with a dedicated tutor who provides focused, ongoing support.
With interactive whiteboards, real-time collaboration tools, and engaging digital resources, each session is structured, effective, and student-friendly.
Parents receive regular progress updates and session summaries.

Students on Fort Lewis are primarily served by:
Clover Park School District
Bethel School District (for some off-base housing areas)
Steilacoom Historical School District
North Thurston Public Schools (Lacey area)
These districts support large populations of military-connected students, but there are very few in-person tutoring centers on or near the base. As a result, many Fort Lewis families rely on Growing Stars’ online tutoring for flexible, high-quality, personalized academic support.
We help students strengthen essential skills such as:
Time management
Study strategies
Organization
Note-taking
Test-taking confidence
These foundational skills lead to long-term academic success—especially helpful for students adapting to school changes during PCS moves.
