Danville students start making choices about math in 5th grade, and Monte Vista and San Ramon Valley High both have large AP programs. Our UC Berkeley tutors help Danville students at each step, in math, science, writing, test preparation and college essays.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a UC Berkeley tutor who fits.
Our tutors come to your home in Danville, and online sessions are there for the weeks when that’s easier.
The San Ramon Valley path
Danville’s public schools follow a traditional math sequence, and acceleration starts early. In spring of 5th grade, students can take a placement test on 6th grade math, and a score of 80 percent or better moves them ahead a course in 6th grade. Later, the district’s online summer program lets 6th and 7th graders advance another course. Middle schools offer an accelerated track to Algebra 1 in 8th grade. Charlotte Wood students then go on to San Ramon Valley High, and Los Cerros and Diablo Vista students to Monte Vista. Both high schools have large AP programs and long class periods. We help at every step, from that first placement test to AP Calculus and the college essays.
Danville schools
We tutor students from Monte Vista, San Ramon Valley High, Charlotte Wood, Los Cerros, Diablo Vista, The Athenian School and St. Isidore, as well as Danville families at Carondelet and De La Salle. For 8th graders applying to those two, the HSPT is on Saturday, January 9, 2027.
A tutor who fits your student
Someone on our team talks with you first, then chooses a tutor for the subject and for your student’s personality. A college student is easy for a teenager to talk to, and a good tutor becomes a mentor on course choices and college as well. We check in with you after the first few sessions.
