“W

e are not a corporation, not a franchise and not a ‘dotcom’,” explains John R., owner of Apex Tutors Colorado. “We are a family owned and operated business dedicated to helping children maximize their potential.” The Apex business model is simple: provide the highest quality tutoring experience available—at the most affordable rates—to grant families access to the help their children need. They are so committed to their customers that they offer an industry best satisfaction guarantee: if you are not satisfied with the results after 30 days, they refund your money. Apex was founded in California in 2020, at the height of the pandemic. John S., the founder, was running a successful swim school (Sailfish Swim School) when COVID mandates forced him to close his doors. As the schools stayed closed in California, he watched his swim kids start to fall behind in academics. From there, Apex Tutors was born. Apex opened its second branch in Fort Collins in the Spring of 2021. John S. has a passion for helping kids that was developed through his own life experiences. John S. spent his high school years in a wheelchair. At 16, he was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and sustained permanent spinal cord damage leaving him a paraplegic. After years of therapy, experimental medications and a spinal implant, he is now fully recovered. John’s biggest takeaway from this experience was the support he received along the way from family, friends and so many others who supported him. His

father, for example, carried him into the woods so that he could continue to hunt and fish. His swim teammates held him up on the swim platform to enable him to dive at the start of a race (the officials modified the rules to allow it). Since that time, he has had a desire to give other children—both disabled and able-bodied—the ability to get the same support that he received. “I want the children that come through our program to be nurtured into realizing their full potential. Everyone deserves the level of support that I received, regardless of the struggles they face in life,” said John S. “Apex Tutors is determined to give every student the ‘Apex Advantage’,” says Alisha, the General Manager of Apex. The Apex Advantage encourages students to think beyond grades by building a strong connection through teamwork. Apex Tutors employs an entire team—guardians, teachers, administrators, and tutors—to ensure success in every facet of a student’s life. Apex’s tutors are hand-picked from

the local community and undergo a rigorous training program so that all tutors perform to the Apex Standards of Quality. Students are matched with tutors carefully, taking personality and connection into consideration, therefore, the student’s first session is always free. Apex strives to create confident, active, and independent learners at any age, in any discipline. Once a match is made, Apex believes that having fun is the best way to learn. Apex students feel fulfilled and appreciated for their hard work while receiving an education as unique as they are. Give your student the Apex Advantage.
