TUTORING & TEST PREP

TUTORING

Through FLEX's tutoring programs, students receive personalized assistance to improve grades and build fundamental skills.

Overview

FLEX Instructors understand the immense pressure placed on students and help them gain confidence in their abilities so they can stop struggling and start enjoying their studies.

FLEX Tutoring begins with an assessment of students’ strengths and weaknesses through our proprietary High School Readiness Assessment. We then work with students to develop a learning plan that is tailored to their goals.

Instruct

FLEX instructors introduce concepts and strategies.

Reinforce

Students immediately reinforce their learning with in-session problems.

Assess

FLEX instructors give in-session assessments and homework assignments.

Progress

Students regularly take full-length diagnostic tests to evaluate progress and assess readiness.

Types of Instruction

Small Group or 1:1 Instruction

FLEX offers both small-group and private tutoring for all middle and high school subjects, including Honors and AP. These options are ideal for students who desire more personalized instruction and opportunities to ask questions in a setting that is highly customized to their needs.

Classes

FLEX Classes are offered during Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. Courses range from AP subjects to Study and Organizational Skills and everything in between. Students benefit from both the instructors’ deep understanding of the subjects as well as the interaction with other students.

“Thank you for teaching the class, it was a lot of fun. It made me much more excited to take history classes and learn about history. The class was inquisitive and helped me improve my writing."

Let’s get started, together.

We would love to see how we can help you.

Martha Crowe

Master Consultant & Instructor

Martha Crowe has worked with, for, and on behalf of youth for three decades, as a social worker, child advocate, nonprofit director, consultant, and for the past eight years, as a professor, researcher, and medical writer at SDSU. Helping people tell their stories has been at the heart of each phase of her career. Martha loves getting to know young people — to hear about what they care about, what they are good at, and what their dreams are for their futures. And magic can happen when they trust her enough to help them tell their stories in an authentic and compelling way that both honors who they are and convinces admissions counselors to accept them.

Martha believes in taking a personalized approach with each student, tailoring her time with them based on their individual writing skills and learning needs. Her approach is always based on genuine care and concern combined with concrete action items and deadlines. For the past four years, Martha has helped students get into a variety of colleges, as well as honors programs within those colleges, from tiny to huge, rural to urban, California to the East Coast: UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC Davis, Northeastern, UMass Amherst, University of Michigan, Syracuse, Macalester, Santa Clara University, Pepperdine, University of San Diego, Loyola Marymount, Cal Lutheran, Cal Arts, Claremont McKenna Colleges, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois-Urbana Champagne, among others.

Martha grew up in Kansas City and joyfully left for Boston after high school, attending Boston University, Tufts, and Harvard for undergraduate and graduate school. She moved to SoCal in 2004 to spend time with her brother after graduation, and like so many others, forgot to leave. Most importantly, she’s a mom to three kids, who are, at the time of this writing, 18, 16, and 12, and an auntie to 58 nieces and nephews (true story) and too many great nieces and nephews to count. In her spare time, Martha volunteers with High Tech High, Miracle League, and Meals on Wheels, is an avid reader, and loves hanging out with her kids.
