Algebra is a turning point in every student's math journey, introducing variables and abstract reasoning for the first time. Our professional tutors know how to demystify these concepts, rebuild confidence, and help students recognize the logic that ties it all together.
Serving students across the East Bay — from Berkeley High, Albany High, and Piedmont High to UC Berkeley and community colleges.

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.
Our algebra tutors are experienced math professionals—engineers, educators, and scientists—rigorously vetted for both subject mastery and teaching ability.
Students leave each session not just with better homework scores, but with genuine understanding. That confidence carries forward into geometry, pre-calculus, and beyond.
Every level — from middle school through advanced college courses.
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.
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!
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.
I had an advanced statistics class my last semester of college that I was really struggling in, and it was stressing me out. Once I got a tutor, my husband said I was like a new person. I finally understood the content and did really well — I passed with a B+ when I think I would have flunked otherwise.
High Performance Tutoring got me through stats! As a PhD student, stats is a necessary evil. They met with me twice a week to guide me through challenging assignments. With kindness and intelligence, they showed professionalism and grace.
The tutors are always great at explaining complicated ideas in a way I can understand. They're very knowledgeable and able to help me with advanced math and finance courses in college. I've been going to them for 3 years and it's always a good experience.
We've used High Performance for two years. Victor helped my son with Chemistry — his grade went from a D to a B+, and he ended up liking the class. They've also tutored him in Algebra and for the ACT. They genuinely enjoy working with the kids, and the kids enjoy working with them!
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.
Thank you for helping Sienna. Because of you, she went from a D+ to a B+. She needs to pass this math to go on to a four-year college.
High Performance did a wonderful job tutoring my grade-school child in math. They assigned a patient, skilled tutor who immediately connected with my child. In the end, my child's confidence and math knowledge were demonstrably improved. The whole process was simple and flexible with in-home and remote options.
Sean has been Kayla's math tutor for 18 months — she went from all C's in 6th grade to straight A's in honors math in 7th. He's always on time and prepared, and we're very appreciative of his commitment to her education.
