Customized Tutoring Services For High School Students

Northern Arizona Academic Services was created in 2018 as a mentoring and tutoring service for high school students in the Camp Verde, Payson, and Phoenix, AZ area. We also serve students all over Arizona or virtually online anywhere. Built upon the foundational principle of helping Arizona teens reach their fullest potential, we’ve helped hundreds of local high school students achieve their academic goals while simultaneously becoming more than they ever dreamed possible.

Our Mission

Tutor.

Mentor.

Prepare.

Many tutoring services do only that … tutor. At Northern Arizona Academic Services, however, we take a three-pronged approach to setting our students up for success.

Tutor

Through 1:1 tutoring, either virtually or in-person, our education professionals learn more about each student’s learning style and goals. Equipped with that information, they can then customize and implement a plan to help the student reach those goals efficiently while meeting their specific learning needs.

Mentor

While our tutors do focus on academic subjects such as math, science, English, history, and electives, they also fill a mentoring role. Students become engaged in the learning process as they are shown how to realize their full potential by honing their organization, study, and test-taking skills. Our tutors are at their side every step of the way, providing guidance and encouragement as needed.

Prepare

Academic knowledge is only one piece of the learning puzzle. The ultimate test is whether or not students are able to apply knowledge to real world situations such as the workplace or further education. We help our students prepare for these scenarios by coaching them through college admissions applications, requests for financial aid (via the FAFSA form), advanced testing, and even employment applications.

“My tutors made me realize how important it was to get school done and gave me the motivation to do so. They created an environment where kids would actually want to be. They always made it a point to establish a relationship with each of their clients so they can help them in any way possible, whether it was with school work or other issues we were having. Not only are they amazing tutors/teachers but they are amazing people who always listened and did their best to understand the students. I graduated in 2020 and they were the biggest reason why!”

“I’m working toward being graduated from high school and I can already tell you’re going to help get there. Anytime I need help or I don’t understand a subject, you’re always there to help me get through the lesson or what I’m struggling with. You’ve worked with me when I can’t find the time for school work between my two boys and you’ve never given up on me. You’re by far the best tutor/teacher I’ve ever had.”
