REIMAGINING

Education

At Compass Educators, we partner with families and schools to provide trauma-informed, social-emotional, and academic support—helping every learner grow with confidence and curiosity. We offer in-person and online tutoring, academic coaching, and enrichment support for both charter-homeschooling and independent families who value a holistic approach to education.

Services are currently facilitated by Mr. Oscar Valles, a fingerprinted and charter-approved educator.

Our Trusted Partners

Welcome to Compass Educators

We offer a wide variety of educational services that will help your student… and you!

Tutoring/Academic Coaching

1:1 or small group sessions providing help with test prep, homework support, and year-round boosts!

More than tutoring — academic coaching helps your child with a personalized action plan & provides effective social-emotional and trauma-informed guidance/strategies to help your child navigate their unique path.

College/Career Readiness

We help students prepare for life beyond high school with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Our strength-based approach begins with understanding each learner’s unique abilities, interests, and multiple intelligences—empowering them to make informed, authentic choices about their future.

While we support all students, we are especially passionate about helping first-generation learners navigate college, career, and application systems that may be new to them.

We offer support with:

🎓 College applications and personal statements
💼 Résumé writing and mock interviews
🔍 Job and internship exploration
🌟 Identifying strengths, interests, and growth pathways

We guide teens to discover meaningful opportunities that reflect who they are and what they’re capable of—helping them step into the next chapter with confidence and joy.

Homeschool/Charter Homeschool Support

We help families create learning experiences where learners of all ages flourish—academically, socially, and creatively.

For charter homeschooling families, we offer:

💻 In-person or online academic coaching to strengthen skills and confidence
🌟 Guidance and support to help learners stay motivated and progressing with ease

For independent homeschooling families, we also support:

🗂️ Filing a Private School Affidavit (PSA) and understanding homeschool requirements
🎨 Enrichment activities and learning experiences that bring subjects to life
🚌 Coordinating field trips and community connections to expand learning beyond the classroom
🕊️ Helping families establish rhythms and routines that make home education sustainable and joyful

Charter services are currently facilitated by Mr. Oscar Valles, a fingerprinted and charter-approved educator.

Learning Options Assistance

✨ Exploring learning choices should feel exciting—not overwhelming!

We guide families in understanding today’s growing landscape of educational opportunities. Whether you’re curious about public charter homeschooling, private programs, or independent learning paths, we help you explore what fits your child’s unique strengths and family rhythm.

Through relationship-based guidance, we simplify the process and connect you with trusted options—so you can make confident, informed decisions about your learner’s journey.

What Families Are Saying

"He actually likes reading now!"

After a dedicated time of tutoring and academic coaching with Mr. Valles, my son went from not liking to read at all to now reading chapter book series! We go to the library weekly and he appreciates storytelling so much more. He no longer struggles with homework and is more confident as he heads into 4th grade. Thank you, Compass Educators!

"He said, 'Mr. Valles makes me like school.'"

My son came over and hugged me and said, 'Mom, thank you. I think Mr. Valles is going to help me start to feel like I actually like school so I can be a pilot.' It was the sweetest moment-and it happened after just one session!

"Math finally clicked for me."

I've always had a difficult time with math. After taking a break from school, I needed help to study for higher education. Mr. Valles made math fun, and it quickly became a subject I enjoy. Thanks to his enthusiastic teaching and patience, I've been accepted into the BioMed program at ASU. Compass Educators is the way to go!

"He looks forward to his time with Mr. Valles every week."

On Wednesdays, he does one hour of tutoring with Mr. Valles at Compass Educators. That hour of focused attention is crucial-it helps him reset for the rest of the week. He loves it and looks forward to his session every week!

"He's focused and confident now."

My son was well prepared for high school after his time with Mr. Valles. He's developed confidence, focus, and the ability to tackle challenges independently. Compass Educators helped him take ownership of his learning.

Educator

Mrs. Valles is absolutely amazing! She inspired me to apply to multiple masters programs. She helped me tremendously with my statement of purpose. With her help, I was accepted to all the programs! I definitely would not have been able to do it without the help of Mrs. Valles! I 110% recommend her services to anyone looking for guidance on the college admissions process and personal statement writing!

Mrs. Valles is an outstanding educator and mentor! Our family has known her for two years, and during that time she has shown herself to be accepting, helpful, and caring. She has helped my daughter with academic research, mentored her personally, and has been a positive and encouraging role model! Her care for students is unparalleled, and I highly recommend her support services to any child!
