Our San Diego chemistry tutors have worked with 30+ local students, mostly in High School Chemistry and AP Chemistry. Many families reach out when a first chemistry course starts moving fast, with moles, balanced equations, and lab write-ups piling up at once. Every session is 1-on-1, never a group class, and your tutor works from the actual assignments and tests your student is facing that week.
We meet students in person across the area, from Coronado and La Jolla to Carmel Valley, Scripps Ranch, and Poway, or online if that fits your week better. After every session the tutor writes feedback on what was covered and what's next, so you can see how the chemistry work is building. Your first hour of tutoring is free, so you can try a tutor before deciding.
Our chemistry students include teens at Coronado High School, and we tutor in person in Coronado, Del Mar, La Jolla, Solana Beach, Encinitas, and nearby San Diego communities.
In-person rates from $100/hour, online from $60/hour. See pricing details →

We connect chemistry concepts with the calculations students need, including moles, unit conversions, and gas laws.
We use visual explanations, analogies, and step-by-step practice to build intuition. Once students see how atoms, bonds, and energy relate, the rest of chemistry starts making sense.
After each session, your tutor writes feedback on what you covered and what to work on next.
We tailor each lesson to the student's course and goals, whether preparing for an exam or catching up after a tough semester.
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!
Thank you all so very much we can't tell you how much help this was.
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.
Hi Melisa, it was wonderful! My son likes the way he explain it. We can continue with Payton for additional hours.
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!
[Our student] loves Payton, he has been a great influence and invaluable.
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.
[My daughter] found her tutoring very helpful! We would love to schedule another session with Matt.
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.
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.
Jonathan helped [my son] so much and he is no longer in need of tutoring... You guys have been great
