The King’s Academy is a Christ-centered K–12 school whose math program runs past calculus to linear algebra and multivariable calculus. Our tutors are Stanford students who know that material thoroughly and can explain it to a sixth grader just as well as to a senior.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a Stanford tutor who fits.
We tutor The King’s Academy (TKA) students in everything from Pre-Algebra and Biology to AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry, and help with English and history essays and the SSAT. Sessions are one-on-one, at your home or online.

How math placement works
TKA math climbs one course at a time from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus and beyond, and each course builds directly on the one before, so the next placement depends on how well a student has mastered the last. AP Calculus also takes a readiness test and approval from the school’s AP Committee, which decides AP placements each spring. A tutor helps a student build real command of each course, so the next one starts on firm ground, and gets them ready for the calculus readiness test. Learn more about our math tutoring.
Timed essays and research writing
TKA’s English classes work steadily toward AP-level writing. Tenth graders practice formal and timed essays, with the honors section designed as the start of the AP track, and AP English Language students take essays through several drafts and learn to evaluate, combine and cite research. A tutor helps a student plan a strong essay quickly, then revise a longer one until the argument holds up from start to finish. Learn more about our English and writing tutoring.
