“More Than Tutoring…
It’s an Academic Expedition!”
The Core Explorers is a Disability-Inclusive,
Sensory-Enriched Tutoring Program that
brings learning to life through
Movement, Exploration, and
Community-Based Experiences.
Founded by an educator
with 20+ years of experience
in behavioral support and inclusive education,
our monthly themed sessions take students
on academic adventures across Tucson.
Building real-world skills in
Math, English Language Arts (ELA)
and Science through play and purpose.
Whether we’re…
Climbing to solve a problem,
Jumping into a story,
or Sliding into a sensory science experiment,
You will not have a bored learner!
Every session has an academic Group Mission
However thanks to our
specialized onboarding process.
Every session is tailored
to your child’s learning needs.
At Core Explorers,
We Grow Confidence,
Curiosity, and Capability,
One Adventure at a Time.
PLEASE NOTE
Since we will be in the community,
ALL children must come each week
with a parent, guardian, respite provider,
therapist, caregiver, or adult family member
to ensure safety and provide any bathroom support
the child may need while in the learning experience.
Your presence is what allows this program to flourish.

The COMPASS CREW
10:00AM-11:00AM
The Compass Crew is designed
for learners developing greater independence and life-readiness skills.
For students ages 12–22
who are enrolled
in an education system.
Sessions focus on functional academics,
communication, and self-direction.
Guided by each student’s
unique strengths and needs.
In a supportive, sensory-informed environment, crew members are encouraged to explore
at their own pace while building
confidence, capability, and community.
The Pioneers
11:30AM-12:30PM
For voyagers mastering early learning skills through hands-on
exploration and guided support.
Pioneers focus on Kindergarten-level academic and social-emotional development, designed for children building confidence in key areas
like early literacy, numeracy, communication, and problem-solving. Activities are tailored to meet each learner’s needs, offering an encouraging space to practice and grow through play-based discovery, movement, and meaningful connection. We celebrate each child’s unique path and provide the structure they need to thrive.
The Adventurers
1:00PM-2:00PM
For curious minds expanding their
skills through adventure,
creativity, and connection.
Adventurers support 1st grade-level academic and social-emotional growth, encouraging learners to deepen core skills like reading, writing, math, collaboration, and self-expression. This group is ideal for children ready to take on new challenges in a nurturing environment where exploration leads the way. With sensory-informed strategies and playful learning opportunities, we help each child stretch their abilities and build confidence as independent learners.
The Pathfinders
2:30PM-3:30PM
For growing learners forging their path with confidence and independence.
Pathfinders are working at a 2nd grade-level of academic and social-emotional development, with a focus on strengthening critical thinking, emotional regulation, collaboration, and leadership skills. This group supports children who are ready to apply their learning in more complex, meaningful ways—encouraging initiative, resilience, and self-direction. We guide each explorer with respect for their unique journey, using engaging activities and supportive strategies
to help them thrive.
Each session has
your child’s developmental needs in mind!
