Meet Our Berkeley Tutors
Algebra is the gateway to every higher math course. When students miss a concept, the gaps compound quickly. We find those gaps and fill them before moving forward.
We teach the "why" behind every step, not just the "how." Using real-world examples and visual models, we help students think algebraically instead of memorizing formulas.
After each session, your tutor writes feedback on what you covered and what to work on next.
Students leave each session not just with better homework scores, but with genuine understanding. That confidence carries forward into geometry, pre-calculus, and beyond.
We've used High Performance Tutoring for two subjects, Calc and Chem, and have been very happy. The most important thing was for our son to feel confident, and that's exactly what happened. He came home saying, 'Now I get it.' Highly recommend.
Alex was great and we are so grateful for his coming to my home on short notice last night great 2 hr session
Tutoring with Ingo has been so helpful. He's helping me discover fundamentals I never learned, while showing me I know more than I thought. I appreciate how he breaks down each problem and helps me prepare for similar ones.
My tutor, Ingo, was incredibly helpful in guiding me toward a higher Quantitative GRE score. He was patient and thorough, and I learned more than just how to take the test, I learned fundamental math skills I'd let lapse. I'm really grateful for his help!
It was great, ready to book another appointment with Ingo whenever he's available!
Thank you all so very much we can't tell you how much help this was.
[My son] always felt that he had so Much accomplished when he finishes a tutoring session with Eugene.
High Performance Tutoring blends deep knowledge, genuine compassion, and serious professionalism. My son made HUGE improvements in his honors-level chemistry and math this year. More importantly, he's built more confidence academically, because they helped him see that his hard work can pay off.
I was taking a 5000-level math class at the U of U, and it's hard to find tutors for higher-level math. Ben was flexible, easy to understand, and wrote down everything and gave me the notes after each session. I credit his help with my passing the class.
My daughter benefited from Victor's tutoring in Compacted Integrated Math III / Pre-Calculus, and we're signing her up again for AP Calculus next year. He is patient, flexible, and very knowledgeable. We recommend High Performance Tutoring.
Liz is a fantastic tutor! Jack has improved his marks significantly in Algebra 2. She has a way of teaching him to attack difficult problems and understand the concepts, with patience and a calm approach.
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.
