Piedmont High’s honors and AP courses ask students to meet demanding grading standards and spend considerably more time studying outside class, and once a student is placed in one, switching out isn’t usually possible. A UC Berkeley tutor who has taken courses like these recently can make that workload feel a lot more manageable.

Math at Piedmont High
Math is where many PHS families look for help first. Students move through Integrated Math 1, 2 and 3, which Piedmont teaches in place of Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2. Those who want to reach AP Calculus can take a faster route, which Piedmont calls compression. One way is a combined course in 9th grade that covers Integrated Math 1 and half of Integrated Math 2. Another is an exam in June before 10th grade, which students prepare for on their own. Our tutors help students prepare for that exam, keep up in the faster classes and get ready for AP Calculus AB or BC.
Science, writing and languages
We also tutor chemistry, physics, AP Biology, English, history and Spanish, French and Mandarin. Piedmont High sets aside a period called Tutorial for getting help from teachers, and our tutors help students decide what to bring to it. With juniors and seniors, we work on SAT and ACT prep and college essays.
