What your child receives
Dedicated 1-on-1 Instruction
Your child works directly with a certified teacher. Not a tutor. Not a group class. One teacher, one student, complete focus.
All Subjects, K–12
Reading, writing, math, science, social studies — any subject where your child needs support. Elementary through high school.
Customized to Your Child
We build a learning plan around your child's strengths, challenges, and goals. Not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Progress You Can See
Regular progress reports with measurable academic growth. You'll always know exactly where your child stands.
Is Pono Education right for your family?
We work with families across Tucson and Pima County. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk:
Your child struggles in a traditional classroom — too fast, too slow, too many distractions
You've tried group tutoring and it didn't click — your child needs undivided attention
Your child has ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or a learning difference and needs someone who understands how they think
You're homeschooling and want professional instruction in specific subjects
You have ESA funding (or want to apply) and need an approved provider you can trust
How it works
Apply for ESA
Visit azed.gov/esa and complete the online application. Every Arizona K-12 student is eligible. It takes about 15 minutes.
Schedule a free consultation
Contact Pono Education. We'll discuss your child's needs, create a learning plan, and walk you through ClassWallet.
Start learning
Your child begins 1-on-1 sessions with a certified teacher. We handle all the billing through ClassWallet — no out-of-pocket costs.
Why families choose Pono
A certified teacher, not a tutor
Your child works with a licensed Arizona teacher with real classroom experience — not a college student or volunteer.
One teacher who knows your child
No rotating staff. Paul learns your child's strengths, challenges, and personality — and builds on that relationship every session.
Small caseload by design
Pono Education intentionally serves a limited number of families so every student gets the attention they deserve.
We handle the ESA paperwork
ClassWallet billing, documentation, compliance — we take care of it all. You focus on your child, not the bureaucracy.
What families are saying
Since starting with Pono Education, my daughter actually looks forward to learning. The one-on-one attention has made all the difference.

We tried group tutoring and nothing clicked. Pono understood our son's ADHD and built a plan that works for him.
