Northwest of Minneapolis, you will find the small town of Big Lake, a beautiful suburban town in south central Minnesota. Located within an hour’s drive of the Twin Cities, residents of Big Lake enjoy the slower pace of small town life, but if they ever need anything from the big city, it isn’t too far. Many residents enjoy the easy commute and work in Minneapolis.
In days past, Big Lake served as a great place to “get away” from the craziness of life in the big city of Minneapolis. Back in a time before refrigerators were commonplace in homes, iceboxes were used, and a lot of the ice made for this region in Minnesota came from Big Lake.
Since Minneapolis is a close enough distance for commuting, many residents of Big Lake drive in to the big metropolitan city to work each day. In an effort to cut down traffic and increase efficiency for these commuters, the Northstar Commuter Rail Line connects Big Lake and other surround suburban communities with Minneapolis. This commuter train is constantly being improved, and soon there are hopes to connect St. Cloud and provide service to the surrounding area.
A famous local festival in Big Lake, Spud Fest has been going on since the early 1970s. Celebrating and enjoying all things related to potatoes, you’ll find no better French fries or twice baked potatoes as you will at Spud Fest. What began as a summer event for families throughout the area, Spud Fest has grown tremendously and now hosts a variety of events throughout the year. The original idea being Spud Fest in Big Lake was to help raise money for summer programs for local children. Big Lake is proud of their tight-knit community, and everyone loves being a part of a festival that provides for the city’s youth. With a focus on creating a family-friendly atmosphere, Spud Fest has a wide variety of events during the summer Spud Fest festival. Some of the popular events include the softball tournament, battle of the bands, a fun run, and charitable gambling events. Spud Fest is a great way to get involved in the Big Lake community.
When it comes to education, families in Big Lake appreciate the dedication of their school district to providing a high quality of education, along with many additional community educational resources. One of the perks to living in a small town is the low student to teacher ratio, and the fact that the community cares so much for the proper education of its youth. For students that may need a little extra help, local Big Lake tutors are available to help in a wide variety of subjects.

Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
