Why Us

Why Salt Lake City Families Choose Our Tutors

Building-Block Subject

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.

Conceptual Approach

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.

Expert Instructors

Our algebra tutors are experienced math educators—rigorously vetted for both subject mastery and teaching ability.

Lasting Confidence

Students leave each session not just with better homework scores, but with genuine understanding. That confidence carries forward into geometry, pre-calculus, and beyond.

Real Students. Real Results.

★★★★★
An outstanding learning experience! My undergraduate statistics course was very difficult and I had trouble mastering the material. Through one-on-one training, I achieved success. Victor took the time to learn my study habits and created a custom program for my learning style.

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.

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.

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.

My son actually passed math this quarter, which wasn't happening two weeks ago with an F. He got a C and I've never seen him so happy. He finally shows confidence in his math abilities. My only regret is not finding you sooner.

High Performance Tutoring is the best tutoring service in Salt Lake City! After trying several others, including resources at my university, I finally had great success. We'd work through my huge list of problems at a pace where I retained everything. I recommended them to my roommate, who loved it too.

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.

High Performance Tutoring makes getting a tutor almost as easy as learning the material. I struggle learning calculus in a large class, and the one-on-one time makes everything come together much more clearly. They're very good at explaining problems people like me have. I now enjoy math.

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.

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!

A Parent's Question

“How do you match my student with the right tutor?”

We start by learning your student's goals, level, and learning style — then hand-pick a High Performance Certified tutor who fits. Your first hour is free, so you can make sure it's the right match before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your tutor starts by pinpointing exactly where you're getting stuck, then builds a personalized plan to close those gaps and build real understanding — not just homework answers. Every session is one-on-one and tailored to how you learn.

Your first hour of tutoring is completely free — no contracts, no commitment. We match you with a tutor, you meet for a full session, and you only continue if you're happy. It's how we let the quality of our tutors speak for itself. You can claim it in minutes by creating an account and booking online, or reach out and we'll set it up for you.

Tutoring starts at only $60/hour! Your exact rate depends on a few things: whether you meet online or in-person, whether it's an academic subject or SAT/ACT test prep, and whether you pay as you go or buy a package — bulk hours come at a discount. After your free first hour we'll put together a plan that fits your goals and budget. The easiest way to start is to create an account and set up your free first session online in minutes — or just call or text us at (801) 508-4080.

Your first session is free! After that, we keep a credit card on file and charge it as each session is completed — no large upfront payment and no long-term contract unless you choose to purchase a package at a discounted rate. And for SAT or ACT prep, you can spread the cost over 12 months with our financing option through Affirm.

We tutor in-person throughout the greater Salt Lake City area, and online anywhere in the U.S. — so distance is never a barrier to getting matched with the right tutor.

For in-person tutoring, you choose what's most convenient — your home, a local library, or a coffee shop — at the same price either way. Online sessions are more cost-effective and give you access to our full national network of tutors. Once you're matched, you and your tutor settle on a regular spot that works for you both.

We cover math from middle school through advanced college courses, the sciences (physics, chemistry, and biology), statistics, computer science, and SAT, ACT, and PSAT prep. Many of our tutors also help with the GRE, GMAT, and MCAT. Just ask about your specific subject or test — chances are we have a tutor for it.

Yes! It's one of our most popular options. We meet on Zoom or Google Meet in an interactive video classroom that's every bit as personalized as meeting in person, and it's typically more cost-effective. It also opens up our entire national network of tutors instead of limiting you to who's nearby, so you get the best possible match for your subject and goals — from anywhere in the U.S.

We hire only the top 5% of tutor applicants and train them to become High Performance Certified — vetted for subject mastery, teaching ability, and personality. And unlike companies that just hand you a name from a directory, our tutors work as a team: they share notes and coordinate behind the scenes, so switching tutors or getting help across multiple subjects stays seamless. You're not getting a random tutor — you're getting one of the best, backed by a whole team.

Tell us the subject, your goals, your schedule, and whether you'd prefer in-person or online sessions, and we'll match you with the tutor who fits best. If it's not the right fit, we'll find you another at no extra cost.

Just let us know and we'll match you with a different tutor at no extra cost — no awkward conversation needed. Because our tutors work as a team and share notes, a new tutor can pick up right where the last one left off. We care about the right fit, not just any fit.

For most students who complete our program, SAT scores typically improve 150–300 points and ACT scores 3–7 points — and those are typical ranges, not a ceiling: our best students have gained 300+ points on the SAT and 7+ on the ACT (some have raised their ACT by 10 points or more). Results aren't guaranteed; the single biggest factor is the effort you put in between sessions, and our personalized approach is built to maximize every point.

Of course we understand that life happens. We only ask for 6 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel a session, which is far more generous than the 24-hour policy most tutoring companies require. Just contact us and we'll find a new time that works. You can also log in to your account and reschedule or cancel a session there. You have complete control over your schedule.
