Master's Degrees in Education prepared Corey & Elizabeth for the challenges they would face in the classroom, but it was their experience working as educators that opened their eyes to a much greater need within education. Years of experience working with students with different challenges and families with unique needs taught them an important lesson: Academic success is heavily dependent on the structures, routines, and supports that are provided both at school and at home. Parents are rightfully concerned about supporting their child’s success and are searching for effective guidance and support on how best to do so. The 'idea' for Hopkins Education Services was born from this need of parents to want MORE for their children.

​

With over twenty years of experience working as an educator in Colorado, Corey started Hopkins Education Services in September 2015. Joined by his partner, Elizabeth (who is also a Master teacher of over fifteen years), Hopkins Education Services is taking a new approach to education by focusing on a child's strengths and building upon them. Hopkins takes a compassionate approach to assessment, planning, and goal development. They work differently from other education coaches because they integrate mindfulness and leadership training into their services to build confidence and success in their client's lives, empowering them. At Hopkins, this is the key to transforming potential into success.

​

In 2018, Hopkins launched their first summer camp, the Summer Explorers Program. This program has grown and evolved over the years, and was a favorite among clients year after year! While the summer program is currently on hold, we do hope to be bringing back summer programming in the future. Also in 2018, Hopkins Education Services was recognized as a Top 5 service provider for educational support in Colorado Parent Magazine. Hopkins has been voted #1 every year since then!

The pandemic caused a pivot to online/remote learning, and Hopkins was ready to respond. Within one week of schools closing in March 2020, the Hopkins team came up with their own "Liz and Corey in the Morning" show that they ran daily on Facebook Live for all their students to tune in and still feel connected to something familiar, proving structure and routines for children during a very uncertain time. By the fall of 2020, as the uncertainty of in-person learning loomed, Hopkins was right there, providing micro schooling or "pod learning' to small groups in backyards. Whatever challenges are around the next corner, Hopkins Ed will be here to help families navigate them every step of the way.
