The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.

Relationships - Relationships are the backbone of enjoying the tutoring experience. They are also one of the keys to unlocking student motivation, especially when learning is hard. We spend time getting to know your child. 

Executive Function - Whether your child is an athlete, has ADHD, or needs help getting organized, we infuse our approach with executive function skill development. This is ideal for middle and high school students. 

Study Skills - We teach students how to study and learn using modern research-backed study strategies taken from cogntive science, education, and neuropsychology. 

Tutoring Best Practices - One-on-one Tutoring is the most powerful learning arrangement known to science. We study it, perfect it, and deliver the best practices and techniques from the tutoring literature.

He worked as an education program evaluator with the American Indian College Fund. He has also worked in the software tech industry.

Born in Wisconsin, Dr. Dutilly fell in love with Boulder, Colorado over 15 years ago. His love of Boulder is made up of equal parts mountain running, rock climbing, the climate, the community, and educational opportunities.

Dr. Dutilly is from a Puerto Rican-American family and dedicates free time to playing music, outdoor recreation, practicing Spanish, and mentoring younger family members who still live in Wisconsin.
