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 students. 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.

Our Approach

  1. Tell us about your student

    We want to know their goals, hopes, passions, interests and everything that can help us find a perfect teacher.

  2. 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.

  3. Start learning together

    Arrange sessions around your schedule, at home or online.

“We used Cardinal Tutoring again in the Spring 2018 for precalculus. Once again, she had a great tutor she really liked and who really helped her this year. My daughter is a senior so we won't need Cardinal Tutoring again, but I highly recommend them!”

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.

Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a Stanford tutor who fits.
