Poway High offers an Engineering Academy alongside a full range of AP and college prep courses. Our tutors are UC San Diego students who took physics, chemistry and calculus not long ago.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a UC San Diego tutor who fits.
We help Poway High students with math, physics, chemistry, English, history and languages, and with SAT and ACT prep and college essays. Sessions are one-on-one, at your home in Poway or online.

The Engineering Academy
Engineering students need strong math and physics. We pair a student in the Engineering Academy with a UC San Diego engineering major, someone who knows the material and can talk honestly about what studying engineering is like. Learn more about our science tutoring.
Five classes a day
On most days, Poway High students have five class periods of about 70 minutes each, with a late start on Wednesdays. That means homework in several subjects most nights. Our tutors help students set up a routine: what to do first, how long to give each subject and when to start studying for a test. Poway High also has AVID, a program that teaches study skills, and our tutors are glad to reinforce what AVID students learn there.
Our high school tutors, in parents’ own words
All reviewsFind a math tutor“My son had a wonderful experience with Cardinal Tutors when he needed help with his High School math and science classes. It turns out my son also needed help staying organized with all his assignments, something that the tutor helped with as well.”
Find a math tutor“Your program really helped us. Henry pulled up his English last year to an A, and his next tutor helped him pull up his math and bio.”
“Everyone is looking for tutors and I said you're the best.”
Find a math tutor“I wanted to thank you for finding our tutor who tremendously helped Sam with his math.”
Find a Tutor“Iris loved working with her tutor!! … Also, I have another student for you — a friend of Iris's that needs help.”
Find an online tutor“Their response time is outstanding. Neil responded quickly to my tutoring request for my 15-year-old. Love knowing that I have access to these high-quality services for my children. And, we use them via Zoom since we live in Tennessee. I cannot say enough great things about this business:)”
Math at Poway High
Some freshmen took Poway Unified’s faster middle school math courses and some took the standard ones. Either way, precalculus and calculus depend on what came before, and a topic that was shaky two years ago tends to come back. Our tutors go back to that topic, reteach it and then return to the current week’s work. Learn more about our San Diego math tutoring.
Junior and senior year
Juniors work with our tutors on the SAT or ACT. Seniors get help with the UC Personal Insight Questions and other college essays, from the first outline to the final revision.
