De La Salle offers more than three dozen AP and honors courses, and many students take them while carrying a serious athletic schedule. Balancing practice, travel and AP Chemistry takes planning, and our UC Berkeley tutors help students fit it all together.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a UC Berkeley tutor who fits.
We tutor DLS students in math from Algebra 1 through AP Calculus, the sciences, English, history and languages. Sessions are one-on-one, at your home or online.
AP classes around practice and games
AP and honors courses are open from freshman year at De La Salle, so the choice of how much to take on comes early. Our tutors help students plan the week around practices and games, and use each session for the work that is hardest to do alone. For a student athlete, we look for a tutor who balanced a sport with demanding classes in high school.
Junior and senior year
We work with juniors and seniors on SAT and ACT prep and college essays. In those years students can take classes at Carondelet too, and we help them keep up across both.
Getting in: the HSPT
All 9th grade applicants take the High School Placement Test, given at the Catholic high schools of the Diocese of Oakland on one shared Saturday. For fall 2027 entry that is Saturday, January 9, 2027, with applications due December 11, 2026. Students take the test only once. Our HSPT prep plans backward from test day: a practice test in the fall, steady work on the weakest sections, then full timed tests in December.
What Cardinal Tutors families say
“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.”
