What we work on
Reading and writing come first, then math foundations. Homework help covers the busy weeks, and test prep gets ready for a big day.
Decoding, comprehension, handwriting and putting real thoughts down on paper. We start where your child actually is, then build the next stone.
Number sense, fact fluency, place value and the strategy behind the answer. Built like a number line — each step should feel solid before the next one.
A steady hand through tonight's page — a reading log, a math worksheet, or the project that's due Friday. Text us when the week gets away from you.
Focused practice for private-school entrance tests: reading passages, quantitative reasoning, and the pacing that keeps kids calm on the day.
How it works
One short call or text is all it takes to get started. Here's the whole trail, start to finish.
Tell us your child's grade, the subject that needs a hand, and roughly when lessons could fit your week. A two-minute conversation is plenty.
We talk through what feels wobbly, what's already working, and what steady help would look like. No cost and no commitment.
We pick the first stepping stone and start there, building the next one once the last one feels solid.
“Wherever your child is on the path, there's a next stone.”
Ada County
Sessions are held with families across Boise and the surrounding Ada County communities — the Greenbelt is the thread between them.

Most families are a short drive from where we meet. Not sure if your neighborhood is on the path? Call or text and ask — that's the quickest way to find out.
About Cedar & Chalk
An owner-run practice in Boise, working with K–5 families on reading, writing, math and test prep.
Cedar & Chalk Tutoring is a small, owner-run practice in Boise. Lessons are paced to the child in front of us and shaped around what's actually happening in their classroom this month.
Progress in reading and math rarely arrives in a leap. It arrives in steps — a new sound mastered, a strategy that finally clicks, a page read without stopping to ask for help. Our job is to make each step feel like ground a kid can stand on.
Most families start with one question about one subject. That's the perfect place to start.
Pick one subject. We'll take it from there.
