What is Cardinal Tutors?
A great tutor does more than teach. They help your student build confidence, find motivation, and grow as a learner. Our tutors are current and former Stanford students, chosen for their subject knowledge, patience and ability to explain a difficult idea. We take time to understand what your student wants to achieve and find someone they can connect with. Together, they work through today’s assignments while building the confidence and study habits your student can carry into the next class, college and beyond.
Our Approach
Tell us about your student
We want to know their goals, hopes, passions, interests and everything that can help us find a perfect teacher.
We find a personal match
We’ll find a Stanford tutor who not only is an expert at teaching the subject matter, but also shares common interests and can uniquely relate to being a student today.
Start learning together
Arrange sessions around your schedule, at home or online.
What parents say
“My daughter went from a C in Algebra II to an A- in one semester. The tutor was great, she really related to my daughter and made learning fun for her. Not only did her grade in math improve, her study habits improved and she’s doing better in all of her classes.”
Eduardo S., San Francisco
“The tutors themselves have been great: well-prepared, thoughtful and on-time. At each level of math needed, we found these Stanford students to be not just helpful tutors but great mentors as well. … This is a first class operation.”
Christy S., Portola Valley
“My son was a senior this year and I reached out to Cardinal Tutors and was lucky enough to find the most amazing tutor. I wish I had found him earlier.”
Sharon C., Los Altos
In-home tutoring: we come to you
Our tutors come to your home for personalized, one-on-one tutoring, so your student can learn in a familiar setting without another trip in your day. Learning at home also helps students build study habits they can keep using on their own, in the same place they do their homework. We offer in-home tutoring across the Peninsula. We also offer virtual tutoring online, wherever your student learns best. Tell us where you would like to meet, and we’ll help arrange sessions that fit your family’s schedule.
