A typical session starts with what's due this week. Your tutor works one problem through step by step, then has your student solve a similar one and explain each move. When a mistake traces back to an earlier skill, like fractions inside an algebra equation, the tutor fixes that first, so the new topic has something solid to stand on.
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 →

Math builds on itself. When foundational ideas aren't fully understood, everything that follows feels harder. We identify gaps and rebuild understanding step by step.
We use visual models, real-world examples, and customized strategies to make abstract ideas concrete. Reasoning over rote memorization.
After each session, your tutor writes feedback on what you covered and what to work on next.
Sessions follow your student's class: current homework, review before quizzes and tests, and extra practice on the problem types that keep coming up.
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.
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.
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!
Matt was really helpful. [Our student] liked his teaching style.
...Matt was amazing as you suggested... thank you so much for your kind thoughts and support.
We've had a great experience. They were easy to schedule and found the right tutors to help my son through high school. We used them for many topics over the last 4 years, and the last session helped him ace his first college math test. The best thing they gave him was the belief that he could do it himself. Thank you!
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.
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!
