About

My passion is helping students gain skills and confidence through one-on-one, customized tutoring. I tutor in-person in Colorado Springs and with students located anywhere, online.

I enjoy working with kids of all ages and can tutor them in math, English (spelling, writing, reading, grammar), science, history, study skills (like note-taking and test preparation), and organizing skills, and SAT prep.

I am a licensed teacher with a bachelor's degree in biology and an MAT in secondary science education. I taught in a middle school for 10 years and really enjoy that age group. When our first child was born, I became a private tutor in order to have a more flexible schedule and quickly discovered much I loved it.

Please go to my website, www.peaktutoring.org, to see more about my services, my contact information, and testimonials from parents and students who have worked with me.

My rates are $70 per 45-minute session for regular tutoring and $200 for 90-minute SAT prep sessions. If a parent wants a 30, 60, or 90 minute session instead, the price is adjusted accordingly.

I love working one-on-one with students! It's great to build a relationship with them and their families and tailor-make lessons to be just exactly what they need. Maybe a student needs things explained differently than the teacher explained them in class in order to make sense to their brain. Maybe class moved too fast and they just need more practice with a concept. Or maybe a child needs to learn in a more hands-on, loud, or active way. I customize our sessions so the student can finally learn those tricky concepts.

The reason I named my business Peak Tutoring was not only because I live at the base of Pikes Peak, but I love to help students reach their peak in academic success and confidence!

Both of my children work with Lara. Lara helps them track assignments, keep up with their work and stay organized. Furthermore, she helps them review for important tests and stay fresh on their skills in the summer. Without her help, my kids wouldnt be able to stay on top of all the demands life brings them. She reduces their stress and has helped my kids go from Bs to As. Thanks to Lara we have been able to get back on track after lost study time during the pandemic - couldnt have done it without her!

We were thrilled with Lara! We began tutoring with her for our third grader, who brought home a “2” in Math on her report card. After one quarter of working with Lara, our third grader’s Math score went from a “2” to a “4”: the highest score available. When we began, our child had started to hate math, and was beginning to say things like, “I’m bad at math.” Lara quickly turned our child’s attitude around so that our child began to enjoy math and have confidence in her ability. Lara made the tutoring sessions fun, and tailored the focus to match whatever our child was learning in school at the time. Lara sent weekly reports as to how each tutoring session went, and noting our child’s successes and areas where our child still needed work. While working with her, Lara also raised a question about a vision issue that our child was struggling with, bringing this to our attention so that we could get the issue assessed and treated. Without Lara, we would not even have known that our child was having this issue. We greatly appreciate how Lara helped our child.

Lara White helped me tremendously in preparing for the SAT and knowing what to expect from it, especially by teaching me how to streamline the process of answering questions by figuring out how the test makers think. Working with her is amazing– she’s smart, funny, efficient, professional, and extremely organized, which makes every tutoring session feel like a simultaneously productive and uplifting experience. I used a lot of Mrs. White’s advice when I took my first SAT– and landed in the 91st percentile, an improvement from my initial scores– because of the practice I had gotten during my sessions with her. I highly recommend Lara White as a tutor, and I’m a much better test taker because of her concise and applicable test-taking tips.

Both of my girls struggled with math. Math homework time was a fight every evening. One of them struggled with being behind, while the other struggled with some learning disabilities. Having Lara help has been amazing. The girls find her demeanor kind and patient. She is flexible with schedules and I really feel like she wants my kids to be successful in math. We have loved having her help our family.

Lara is a wonderful tutor and really cares about the children she works with! When my daughter first started tutoring with Lara, she barely knew her letter sounds. Lara has made the sessions fun and enjoyable and thanks to her, my daughter is reading and progressing forward. Its hard to see your child struggling with something that no one seems to be able to help them with, including yourself. Lara believed in my daughter and helped her in a way no one could, and I couldnt be more grateful for her! I recommend Lara to everyone, she is truly an amazing tutor.

Lara was awesome. My son, 15 really liked her which was a major plus. Shes patient and so good with explaining concepts. She also emailed me with notes from each lesson. The only negative is that she doesnt do Algebra 2!! We will miss her!!! Thank you, Lara!
