Meet Our Berkeley Tutors
We prep you for the actual exam, multiple choice and free response, with the pacing and strategies that earn points under pressure.
After each session, your tutor writes feedback on what you covered and what to work on next.
FRQs are where scores are won or lost. We train you to show work the way graders reward and to manage the clock.
We diagnose your starting point, target the units that move your score most, and track progress with practice exams.
[Our son]'s grades are improving on tests, and he really likes Ingo, which is an added benefit! Great work, Ingo!
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!
Victor did an excellent job with going over all of the chemistry subtopics in a short period of time. He was very helpful with questions and created a great learning environment. Overall it was a wonderful experience.
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.
You guys are absolutely the best. We literally think Ingo walks on water.
Our daughter looks forward to her time with her tutor every week. He is a mentor, a friend, and goes the extra mile before tests to make sure she has everything she needs to feel competent and prepared.
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!
Ingo is incredible, and we are so grateful for all the hard work he does with our son. We feel so lucky to have him.
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!
Alex was great and we are so grateful for his coming to my home on short notice last night great 2 hr session
My daughter has nothing but wonderful things to say about Victor. He is patient and really helps her understand what she is learning in class. Worth every penny!
It was great, ready to book another appointment with Ingo whenever he's available!
