Our tutors are Stanford students and alumni who are conducting research, building technology, writing and teaching. Our team includes doctoral researchers, National Science Foundation fellows and experienced educators, with backgrounds across engineering, computer science, the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. They bring that curiosity and initiative to tutoring, helping your child understand a difficult subject and see new possibilities for themselves.
Tell us about your student, and we’ll match them with a Stanford tutor who fits.
What parents say
“The tutors themselves have been great: well-prepared, thoughtful and on-time. At each level of math needed, we found these Stanford students to be not just helpful tutors but great mentors as well. … This is a first class operation.”

Someone to learn from and look up to
Our tutors bring firsthand experience of demanding classes, college life and pursuing their interests beyond the classroom. They can talk about studying engineering, writing for a newspaper or working in a research lab. For your child, that means a mentor who can help with today’s assignment while encouraging the interests and ambitions that come next.
Teaching that makes difficult ideas click
Our team’s experience includes leading university study groups, creating practice problems and exam reviews, teaching algebra and statistics, and tutoring AP chemistry. They’ve also taught English, led youth learning programs and helped students develop their writing. We look for experience that fits your child’s age and the way they learn.
In math and science, that means explaining the reasoning behind each step. In writing and college essays, it means helping students organize their ideas, build an argument and revise in their own voice. Across subjects, we want your child to feel comfortable asking questions and increasingly confident working independently.
