Meet our tutors.
For families on the Peninsula, we’ll help you find a tutor who fits your child’s subjects, interests and personality.
Find a TutorOur tutors, by the numbers.
Someone to learn from and look up to
Our tutors bring research, writing and teaching into their work with students. In math, that means explaining why each step works. In writing, it means helping your child develop an argument and revise in their own voice. We look for a tutor who can help with today’s assignment while encouraging the interests that come next.
A match for your family on the Peninsula
Tell us about your child’s classes, goals and schedule, and the kind of person they would enjoy learning from. We share recommended tutors’ résumés before an introduction. For families in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and nearby communities, we’ll discuss tutoring at home or online and choose a match around your family’s needs.
