Physics is where math meets the real world—and that's where the confusion often begins. Our expert tutors help students understand not just how to solve problems, but why the formulas work, turning frustration into fascination.
Serving students across the East Bay — from Berkeley High, Albany High, and Piedmont High to UC Berkeley and community colleges.

Physics requires translating between words, formulas, and intuition. Even strong math students can struggle to apply equations to conceptual or multi-step problems.
We teach students to visualize problems, interpret diagrams, and connect math to physical reality. We also revisit key algebra and trig skills so they can be applied with confidence.
Our physics tutors are experienced physicists, engineers, and educators who have mastered both the science and the art of teaching it clearly. Rigorously vetted and trained.
We don't just review homework—we build lasting comprehension. Once students see how math and science work together, physics begins to make perfect sense.
Every level — from middle school through advanced college courses.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Larson was very good with Adam. It was to prepare him for his first chemistry test, and he ended up with a 94% — one of the highest grades in the class, where the average was a C-. Will definitely be meeting with him again.
My son goes into tutoring so defeated from school, thinking it won't help him. But as soon as his sessions end, he has this sign of relief and can't wait to see Eugene again next time.
You guys are absolutely the best. We literally think Ingo walks on water.
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!
