A different kind of tutoring
Homework help is useful. Real understanding is better.
Traditional tutoring often stops once a student can finish the worksheet. Learning Squid goes one step further: we connect the academic concept to something the student can build, measure, test or explain themselves.
The goal isn't more schoolwork — it's schoolwork that finally feels connected to something real.
02
Build the skill
We work through problems together until the student can reason through them independently.
03
Put it to work
We use a project, experiment or design challenge to make the concept tangible and memorable.
50%
Focused tutoring
Targeted support around the student’s current classes, weak spots and goals — clear explanations, guided practice and the time to understand why the method works.
- Homework and concept support
- Test preparation and problem-solving strategy
- Foundational skill building
- Challenge work for advanced students
50%
Project-based learning
Guided hands-on work that asks the student to apply what they just learned through practical experiments, design challenges and technical projects.
- Build and troubleshoot simple circuits
- Measure motion, forces and real data
- Use math to design, predict and optimize
- Practice explaining how and why something works
Learning by doing
Projects give the lesson a reason to matter.
Projects are matched to the student's age, interests and current coursework. The point isn't complexity — it's connection.
Circuits & sensors
Use voltage, resistance, logic and measurement to build small working systems and troubleshoot them together.
Physics + engineeringMath through design
Turn algebra, geometry, functions and optimization into design constraints, predictions and measurable outcomes.
Math + problem solvingPhysics experiments
Collect real data on motion, forces, energy or waves, then use the student's class concepts to explain what happened.
Physics + dataSubjects
Strong fundamentals. More room to explore.
Learning Squid focuses on STEM subjects where understanding the “why” makes everything else easier.

Built by an electrical engineer who loves teaching.
Learning Squid was founded by Logan Kilgore around a simple idea: students learn more deeply when tutoring connects the classroom to the real world.
Sessions use an engineering mindset — break a problem down, understand the fundamentals, test an idea and keep improving it — while staying focused on the student’s actual class, goals and interests.

Frequently asked
Questions families ask.
Do you offer tutoring in person or online?
Both. Learning Squid offers in-person tutoring around the Seattle area and online sessions for families who prefer remote learning.
What subjects does Learning Squid tutor?
We focus on math (algebra through calculus), physics, engineering and introductory programming, plus homework support, test preparation and study skills.
What makes Learning Squid different?
Sessions combine focused academic tutoring with hands-on projects that help students apply the concepts they are learning instead of only memorizing procedures.
Who teaches the sessions?
Learning Squid is currently founder-led. Sessions are taught by Logan Kilgore, an electrical engineer with a background in technical problem solving and one-on-one tutoring.
How do I get started?
Fill out the free consultation form below, call, or email us to talk about the student’s goals and schedule a first session.
Looking for more than another hour of homework help?
Start with a free consultation. We'll talk about what the student is working on, where they're getting stuck, and whether Learning Squid is a good fit.
