"Peak Learning has been instrumental in their impact on my son’s readiness for the ACT and SAT. His scores have improved dramatically as well as his test taking abilities. The skills he has learned have also transferred over to his classroom work at East. He reads and understands test questions better in all subjects and his confidence overall in all academic areas has increased dramatically."

-Cary L. (Parent)

"I can’t tell you how much Peak has helped me, and I probably wouldn’t have made it through the class without your help. Thank you very much for being so quick to set me up with tutoring, and I will definitely recommend your company to anyone I know looking for tutoring."

-Hunter M. (Student)

"I am thrilled to recommend Peak Learning Solutions. Both of our children (grades 9 and 10) have been using Peak’s tutoring services this year to support them in Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra 2, respectively. Peak has also helped our son with overall study and organizational skills. The results have been great."

-Meg F. (parent)

"We recommend Peak Learning Solutions to help high school students who could benefit from tutoring to supplement classroom learning for some of the more challenging courses such as algebra and chemistry. This has been of great help to our daughter."

-Ken & Beth G. (parents)

"This semester Julie seems to have a better handle on keeping up, and even getting ahead. That has earned her extra credit already in English. Thanks for all of your help, I know it has helped her in many ways."

-Colleen S. (parent)

"Thank you so much for your help. Big difference for this exam. So again thank you!"

-Lauren P. (student)

"Our son Ryan is a junior and has been working with a tutor at Peak Learning in Chemistry this semester. Ryan missed a lot of classes at the beginning of this semester due to illnesses and fell behind in Chemistry. He was overwhelmed by the prospect of getting caught up while keeping up with the ongoing lessons. Working with his tutor really saved his semester. I don't think he would have been able to catch up and keep up with his class without his tutor's help."

-Jane P. (parent)

"Thanks for the great class! I enjoyed learning new material and I feel more at ease going into chemistry class."

-Amanda M. (student)

"I do not know words that can properly express my appreciation for the direction you have provided–and all with such amazing patience and understanding."

-Dawn H. (parent)

"Thanks so much for all of your help! Emily got a B in Chemistry and an A in Math. Hurray!"

-Susan S. (parent)

-Doug H (student)

-Dana G. (parent)

"Our family has been very pleased with Peak Learning Solutions and we highly recommended this team to other families. Whether your child needs help in a particular subject area or needs to work on time management and organization skills at the high school level, Peak Learning is a wonderful resource."

-Kerry S. (parent)

"This morning I found James practicing aloud for his French oral test and I just about passed out! I asked how he thinks he will do and he said, “I already know it (the material)–I just thought I’d go over it just in case.” WOW!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!"

-David H (parent)

"You’ve got something magical with Tori and can really get her to open up about school"

-Sandra V. (parent)

"YThank you so much for all of your help! To go up over 200 points to score a 1490 on the SAT is unbelievable! I'm so excited!!"

Emily Murtaugh

BA English and Psychology, University of Colorado at Boulder Secondary Teaching License

After calling many towns in many states home, Emily is now happy and lucky to call Colorado home. Growing up, Emily’s family moved due to her father’s job; all the moves have ultimately allowed Emily to appreciate different groups of people, develop many interests, and interact with people from all over. Now, as a high school teacher, Emily uses the experiences of her youth to help her interact with, understand, and appreciate the variety of students she encounters every year. Currently, Emily teaches at Dakota Ridge High School; for two years, she was in Colorado Springs at Rampart High School after completing student teaching at Horizon High School through the School of Education at CU Boulder. Emily has experience with students of all abilities and interests, including AP, IB, and ESL. Teaching has been her calling since a very young age, but recently, a new baby girl (Grace) has encouraged Emily to teach part-time in the classroom and spend more time at home. This change then allowed Emily to seek time for her true passion of small group or one-on-one instruction through tutoring at Peak Learning Solutions. During her free time, the little that may exist, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, and two dogs doing anything outside including gardening, exploring Colorado, and reading a good book in the shade of a patio umbrella.
