What is Cardinal Tutors?
Cardinal Tutors is a dedicated group of current and former Stanford students who are hand-picked not only for their academic expertise, but more importantly for their ability to teach others. Our approach ensures that every student benefits from a personalized curriculum and achieves their academic goals. Because many of our tutors are current students themselves, they can uniquely relate to the challenges of today’s middle and high school student. Cardinal Tutors is committed to helping our students build the confidence and the skill set to succeed now and for the rest of their lives.

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.
