Higher Ground Learning is a group of dynamic tutors based in Salt Lake City offering customized, one-on-one learning experiences to students. Just swipe down or click the arrow over there to learn more about us and our tutoring style.
Classrooms can suck the life out of learning. But learning can be engaging, personal, even fun. That's why we do things a little differently. Heard that before? So have we. The type of tutoring center we would have wanted to attend wasn't out there, so we made our own.
Teacher and student. That's been the dynamic since the beginning of recorded history. So why mess with it? We pair each student with a high-caliber mentor to form one-on-one relationships through individualized learning. Pretty simple. Better teachers make better students, and we hire the best tutors in SLC. A cooler learning environment never hurt either.
We were students too. It seems obvious, but if you're a tutor, it's worth remembering. “What would I have wanted?” Would it have been standardized testing simulations and required reading from big gray textbooks? Actually, it might have. That's why every program is tailored to the student. The only thing set in stone around here is the building.
It's more than just a terrific pun—no size fits all is something we really believe. No two students are alike so why should their tutor or their curriculum be? That's why we teach in an atmosphere that encourages tutors and students to be themselves through both personal style and interests. Whether it's test prep, one-on-one tutoring or our creative workshops, our approach is format-free.
Every program is tailored to the student – so why should price be any different? We believe that education should be available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. What does this mean? It means that students can either pay our standard hourly rate or easily apply for a need-based scholarship to reduce the cost.
It also means that when you pay for tutoring at Higher Ground, you can feel good knowing that your money helps others afford to come to Higher Ground, too. It's not quite the circle of life, but it's pretty awesome.

Learning should be personal. It's true for our students and it's true for all of us. A 30-on-1 or even a 4-on-1 classroom can provide the material, but it can't cater to the needs of a student with a passion for skateboarding, or baking, or Dr. Who the same way a personal learning environment can. That's why one-on-one is better—it builds relationships that foster better learning. We specialize in tutoring students of all ages in nearly every subject. From 2nd grade reading proficiency to high school AP Physics, we’re here to make learning fun and meaningful.
Get together with your closest friends (in-person, max group 5) or online (up to 10 students) and meet every week with an instructor to focus on any AP Class. Even if you don't have a group, we are here to support you one-on-one in your AP journey.
You can also come to Higher Ground and work through an entire accredited AP curriculum with an instructor who will prepare you for success in the class and on the exam. Courses offered include Biology, Calculus (AB & BC), US History and more.
Now that you have the SAT or ACT score you need (you're welcome), college application essays are the special sauce on the stress sandwich that is AP classes, school groups, extracurriculars, and, well... high school in general. So why go it alone? Our team will help you pinpoint that thing about your background, identity, interest, or talent that makes you shine. Good college application essays take time to evolve, so we customize each consulting program to your needs and work-style so that we can give you feedback each step of the way—online and offline.
So while we work to meet the specific needs of each student, we also make sure to meet the expectations of each individual parent by promoting higher scores, a brighter future and a more confident student. That's why we keep parents in the loop with weekly email updates, personable service and constantly available directors.
Whether it's one-on-one tutoring, test preparation in Salt Lake City or even in Budapest, or just tricking out longboards in the summer heat—your student's success is our success. You've made us Salt Lake City's premier creative educational center—and we're pretty excited about that. So thanks. You guys made school and cool happen. Maybe next we can make fetch happen.
