I've met with multiple tutors at HPT over several semesters for help in trig, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. They saved me from failing a few times. I'm pleased with the useful and professional support I received.

My daughter Hannah raised her ACT score from a 26 to a 33 after completing an intensive twelve week training program with High Performance Tutoring. This score will open up so many doors for her!

I despise math, but High Performance Tutoring helped me get an A in my medical statistics class. I was admitted to the hospital during finals week and my tutor came to my hospital room and tutored me there for our last session. He was great.

My son went from a frustrated 9th grader getting D's on his math tests to straight A's for the next three years. He actually signed himself up for AP Calculus his senior year because he wanted to maintain his knowledge going into college.

My children have loved every tutor we have used from High Performance. The tutors have helped them excel in their studies in the classroom and helped them succeed on the AP, IB, ACT, and SAT exams!

The tutors are great at explaining issues and problems that people like myself struggle with. I now enjoy math which allows me to understand and comprehend more clearly what is going on in class.

I used High Performance Tutoring over a 5 week period during my preparation for the GMAT. Despite the short timeframe, we were able to hit my target score and I got accepted to the Booth School of Business in Chicago!

High Performance Tutoring was founded in 2011 by Victor Camacho with one belief: the best learning happens with the best teachers. What began in Salt Lake City as a small group of passionate math tutors has grown into a nationwide network helping students unlock their potential—including right here in Berkeley.
From the beginning, our mission has been to combine deep subject knowledge with exceptional communication. Every tutor passes a rigorous selection process and meets our High Performance Certification standards for expertise, teaching ability, and personality.
Demand soon expanded beyond math and science into a wide range of subjects and test prep. We built custom scheduling systems, hired dedicated support staff, and streamlined every step of the tutoring experience to deliver consistent, high-quality service.
What hasn’t changed is our passion. We love what we do, and we’re proud to have helped thousands of students raise their grades, boost test scores, and gain confidence. Every Berkeley student deserves a tutor who can truly make a difference—and we’re excited to deliver exactly that.
