Head-Royce asks its students to research, write and present from 9th grade on. Our UC Berkeley tutors help Head-Royce students with analytical writing, research projects, math and science.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a UC Berkeley tutor who fits.
We work one-on-one with your student to prepare for class discussions, break longer assignments into manageable steps and practice the concepts that need more attention. Sessions are at your home in Oakland, Piedmont or Berkeley, or online.
Research and writing
In 9th grade, every student completes the I-Search, a research paper paired with a TED-style talk. For many students it is the longest paper they have written, and the first time they have presented their own research. A tutor helps with narrowing the question, keeping track of sources and building an outline, then reads drafts with the student and helps them rehearse the talk. Juniors take Honors Humanities, which combines English and history with frequent analytical writing, and the same skills carry over.
Math, science and languages
Upper-level courses in many Head-Royce departments are taught at or beyond the AP level. Our tutors help with math through calculus, the sciences and French, Latin, Mandarin or Spanish.
Middle school and applying
We also work with middle school students at Head-Royce, and with families applying for 6th or 9th grade, the school’s main entry points after kindergarten. Learn more about our admissions test prep.
