In-Home Tutoring
Extracurriculars, homework, and sports make students’ schedules demanding. We understand this and do our best to be as flexible as possible. This includes the option of having our tutors work at students’ homes. In-person tutoring is available for families within about 10 miles of Stanford, and families farther away can work with a tutor online.

What parents say
“My daughter went from a C in Algebra II to an A- in one semester. The tutor was great, she really related to my daughter and made learning fun for her. Not only did her grade in math improve, her study habits improved and she’s doing better in all of her classes.”
Eduardo S., San Francisco
“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.”
Christy S., Portola Valley
“My son was a senior this year and I reached out to Cardinal Tutors and was lucky enough to find the most amazing tutor. I wish I had found him earlier.”
