The Owner

Cara Gilligan

Cara has lived in Boise off and on since 1992. After graduating with her degree from Boise State University and being a Registered Nurse for 27 years, Cara leads with a question that provides the foundation for everything she is involved in. “Is this what you want for your mother/father/daughter/son?”  

Wearing a variety of hats within this profession, she has formally led multiple departments and worked at the bedside in surgical services, school nursing, intensive care, and compliance. Her love of fitness and belief that wellness integrates the mind, body, and soul led her to attain a 200+ hour certified yoga teaching credential and manage a successful yoga franchise in Santa Barbara, California that hosted 1000 students per day.

She understands the importance of connection, cultivating relationships, and how education can open doors and create empowerment. In her spare time, she loves being in nature, hiking with her 100lb malamute husky, cheering on the Boise State Broncos, attending concerts, and spending time with her family.

Certified Tutors in Boise

Prep Academy Tutors is an elite team of certified teachers who have the qualifications and knowledge needed to provide a professional level of education. Our Boise tutors are certified tutors in Idaho who are qualified to teach but believe in the value of personalized education. After COVID-19, many K-12 students have fallen behind. Tutoring has been proven to be the most effective method of getting students back to their grade level, or above. One-on-one tutoring is more effective than smaller class sizes, after-school classes, longer semesters, longer school days, or summer school. In addition, today’s large class sizes make it nearly impossible to give each student the right level of attention they need. We pride ourselves in providing certified educators with an alternative option that allows them to educate in an environment that is low-pressure and personal to each student. At Prep Academy Tutors, we create an environment that is both fulfilling and enriching for both our tutors and students.
