Tutoring for Colina Middle School Students

About Colina

Colina Middle School, home of the Cougars, teaches about 785 students in grades 6–8 on East Hillcrest Drive in Thousand Oaks, and its students go on to Westlake High School (Colina, Ed-Data).

Colina's electives lean toward music and media: choir at beginning, advanced and ensemble levels, jazz band, strings, a guitar class and a ukulele club, alongside art, a year-long yearbook and journalism class, and technology courses in digital production and the principles of computer science. The school also lists a debate team, GATE, and the WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) program (Colina).

After school on Wednesdays and Thursdays, Cougar Connect runs a study session in the library with a credentialed teacher (Colina). Colina is also where CVUSD held its 2026 summer math exams: the 6th Grade Math Challenge Exam on June 15, and the Boost Exams on June 15 and July 31, with the 6CP-to-7H Boost Camp meeting here from July 6 to 31 (2026 letter, Boost letter).

Subjects that fit Colina students

Colina's debate team and its year-long yearbook and journalism class reward clear argument and careful writing, and that's where writing tutoring fits. In math, the decisions come at the start of 6th grade and at the June and July Boost Exams; middle school math tutoring covers the 6th–8th grade standards through Algebra 1. A student juggling choir, jazz band or strings with homework may also want study skills sessions on planning the week.
