Computer science combines abstract theory with technical precision, which can be exciting but intimidating. Our expert tutors break down difficult ideas into simple, understandable steps and teach students how to reason through code, debug effectively, and build real programming confidence.
Serving students across the East Bay, from Berkeley High, Albany High, and Piedmont High to UC Berkeley and community colleges.
In-person rates from $100/hour, online from $60/hour. See pricing details →
Meet Our Berkeley Tutors
Students often understand concepts in class but struggle to translate them into working code, or get lost debugging problems they can't diagnose. The gap between theory and practice is real.
We teach students to reason through code, identify errors, and understand why their programs behave the way they do. We build both conceptual understanding and practical fluency.
Our CS tutors have strong programming and computer science backgrounds, carefully vetted and trained to explain technical material clearly and patiently.
We don't just help students finish assignments, we teach them to solve problems on their own. The goal is to develop the logical mindset of a true computer scientist.
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.
Thank you all so very much we can't tell you how much help this was.
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.
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!
Jonathan helped [my son] so much and he is no longer in need of tutoring... You guys have been great
This tutoring service has been life changing for our family. When we started, our son was failing chemistry. He got an 89% on his final, seriously an amazing turnaround. It's been great watching him gain confidence as he now understands the subjects instead of having his classwork wash over him.
My daughter needed an AP Chemistry tutor, and they paired her with a Chemical Engineering major. She came away from her session feeling like she understood much better than before, and definitely feels more confident about chemistry!
Isaac received a 27 out of 30 on his last Chemistry exam. He hadn't passed a single test all year until he started tutoring sessions with Payton. Thank you!
[My son] is in good shape. Alan has been wonderful and extremely helpful for him--TY.
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!
This group is just excellent! When my daughter fell behind in Chemistry, they helped her get back up to speed and get the highest score across all classes on the final exam. They hire only the best tutors and customize their work to your student. I'd use them again in a New York minute!
High Performance Tutoring was the best thing we've discovered in recent years. Our son got the support he needed for AP Physics and Calculus, and it gave him the confidence to pursue engineering in college.
