Starfish Tutoring

Starfish Tutoring is a tutoring service in Everett, Washington, serving students in grades pre-K through 8th across the Snohomish and King County areas. The owner, Stephanie Love, has 15 years of experience teaching those grades and has taught in the Seattle, Northshore, and Everett public school districts. Instruction covers reading, writing, math for grades K-3, social skills, handwriting, study skills, and executive functioning skills. Starfish Tutoring specializes in teaching children who are neurodivergent, including students with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and behavioral or emotional dysregulation. The business holds a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it.

Starfish Tutoring was created in 2016 by Stephanie Love, who is known to her students as Mrs. Love, after a hiatus from teaching special education in the Seattle Public Schools. She sought more one-on-one and small group teaching opportunities than a classroom setting allowed. Her approach is built on the belief that all children can learn, just not at the same pace or in the same way, and she works with students experiencing learning anxiety as well as with parents to nurture a child's strengths. Sessions draw on reading and writing curricula, and the business also offers tutoring sessions, with information on getting started and rates available to families.

The business is located on 112th St SE in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Everett, about a tenth of a mile from both Camlyn Park and Mirabella Park. The Twin Creeks neighborhood is roughly three-tenths of a mile away, the South Everett Freeway Station about four-tenths of a mile, and North Creek and Everett Fire Department Station 7 each about four-tenths of a mile from the location.

Families in Everett and the surrounding Snohomish and King County communities looking for a tutor experienced with neurodivergent learners will find a 5.00-rated provider in Starfish Tutoring, where 15 years of classroom and one-on-one teaching inform every session.
