Running Start Support
Guiding Students Through the Running Start Journey
The Running Start program offers motivated high school students the opportunity to earn college credit — and valuable experience — before graduation. But balancing high school and college-level work can be challenging without the right support.
At Bright Heart Learning, we help Running Start students navigate this exciting transition with confidence. Our tutors and advisors provide one-on-one academic guidance, time management support, and personalized tutoring to help students thrive in both their high school and college classes.
Academic Tutoring for Dual Success
Running Start students take on advanced material earlier than most of their peers. Bright Heart Learning offers tutoring across a wide range of subjects to help them master complex concepts while maintaining strong grades in both settings.
We provide customized instruction in:
- Math: From algebra and pre-calculus to college-level calculus and statistics
- Science: Biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science
- English and Writing: Composition, essay structure, and critical analysis
- History and Social Studies: U.S. history, world history, and political science
- Foreign Language: Spanish and other language courses
Our tutors emphasize understanding, not memorization — helping students build lasting academic confidence.
Building Skills for College Readiness
Beyond subject mastery, success in Running Start requires strong organization, independence, and communication. We help students develop essential academic and life skills such as:
- Time management and planning across dual schedules
- Effective note-taking and study habits
- Self-advocacy and communication with college instructors
- Test preparation and stress management
- Confidence in handling college-level expectations
These skills not only help students succeed in Running Start but also prepare them for future college success.
A Supportive, Student-Centered Approach
At Bright Heart Learning, we recognize that every Running Start student’s experience is different. Some need help keeping up with a fast-paced class; others want to refine writing, study habits, or organizational systems.
Our tutors take the time to understand each student’s strengths, challenges, and goals — creating a plan that supports both academic success and emotional well-being.
