Fit Learning Nevada and Oregon
We’re more than just a tutoring center in Nevada and Oregon
We transform education through customized curriculum and learning science.
More than just a tutoring center in Nevada and Oregon.
Fit Learning is not a one-size, fits all tutoring center in Nevada and Oregon. We help our learners build fluency in core academic skills by combining learning science, precision teaching, and curriculum-based assessment. The result is learners who are confident, possess the ability to expertly perform in any classroom environment, and who acquire a newfound capacity for learning.
Curriculum & approach designed specifically for your learner.
An expert conducts a comprehensive skills assessment to identify your learner’s fluency in a range of core skills we’ve identified as drivers of academic success. Then, we develop a curriculum and approach, so every learner builds the true mastery of skills for life-long learning. It doesn’t matter if your learner is gifted and talented, struggling, average, or learning disabled; our approach is scientifically proven to meet your child’s needs.
1 year’s growth in 40 hours of instruction.
This isn’t just a tutoring center for homework help. A Fit Learning session is a fast-paced, goal-oriented, high energy instructional interaction with a Fit Coach, who is extensively trained and certified in the principles of learning science. The experience fundamentally transforms a child’s academic aptitude and overall cognitive abilities. We consistently produce 1-2 grade levels of improvement in 40 hours – something standard tutoring in reading, math, writing, logic, and language simply cannot achieve.
A center that serves Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
We serve the Washoe County School District, Carson City School District, and Storey County School District.
This includes learners living in Damonte Ranch, Galena, Caughlin Ranch, Sparks, Spanish Springs, Wingfield Springs, North Valleys, Reno, Carson City, and Washoe Valley.

"We continue to appreciate and value the level of instruction and growth Justin is receiving and experiencing while enrolled at Fit. Communication regarding his progress is great, and everyone has been willing to go the extra mile to help him succeed. Thank you!"
Fit Learning Reno Parent"I can’t believe the growth we’ve seen in the last 8 months! Not only have her math skills improved, but she also has so much confidence in the classroom – and it has spread to all areas of her development. We have been thrilled not only with Isabelle’s progress but also the short amount of time in which we have seen this growth. It’s like you’ve flipped a switch inside her."
Fit Learning Reno Parent"There is no other program in Reno that can consistently and effectively address the behavioral components of learning. Watching for stress, anxiety, frustration and teaching your child how to manage these feelings in order to move forward with his/her learning is truly a gift. This behavioral component is fully integrated into every session and every subject."
Fit Learning Reno Parent"We feel that the most unique feature of learning here at Fit is that learning can be both personalized and evidence-based. As doctors, we are big on using interventions that are shown to actually work! With Fit, we feel that we can trust that our children’s time spent learning with you is always effective."

Fit Homeschool
The school environment can often be challenging for a child. Sometimes, the challenge is so great that its detrimental effects outweigh the benefits. Additionally, there are times when a school placement fails to maximize a child’s full potential. In these cases, a homeschool placement is recommended. When choosing Fit homeschool, parents elect through their school district to homeschool their child. Fit then provides homeschool support and supplementation in core skill areas. Children attend Fit sessions from two to six hours per day three to five days per week and receive intensive one-on-one academic and cognitive training.
