Tutoring & Education in Tacoma Public Schools

Kids on the Yard connects families across Tacoma Public Schools with vetted tutors covering K-12 subjects, test prep, and special-education support. Sessions can be in-home, in-library, or online and are scheduled directly with the tutor.

Many families in Tacoma Public Schools blend district enrollment with homeschool resources for advanced subjects, electives, or specialized support. Our homeschool directory for Washington lists curriculum providers, co-ops, and tutors who work with homeschool schedules.

Beyond the IEP services Tacoma Public Schools provides, families often supplement with private specialists for reading intervention, executive-function coaching, ABA, and speech/OT. Our special-education directory matches credentialed providers to your student's IEP goals.

Every Kids on the Yard tutor completes identity verification, background checks, and credential review before listing. For special-education and clinical roles, we additionally verify state licenses and require references.
