My son went from a frustrated 9th grader getting D's on his math tests to straight A's for the next three years. He actually signed himself up for AP Calculus his senior year because he wanted to maintain his knowledge going into college.

I used High Performance Tutoring over a 5-week period during my preparation for the GMAT. Despite the short timeframe, we were able to hit my target score and I got accepted to the Booth School of Business in Chicago!

I've met with multiple tutors at HPT over several semesters for help in trig, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. They saved me from failing a few times. I'm pleased with the useful and professional support I received.

A Parent's Question

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

Tell us the subject and level, and we'll show you tutors matched to it, with their profiles and reviews. You choose the tutor and the time, and your first hour is free. Prefer a recommendation? Call us and we'll suggest a great fit.

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.

We cover the core middle school subjects, math (from pre-algebra through Algebra I and geometry), science, and study and organization skills. If your student needs help in a specific class, just tell us and we'll match a tutor who fits.

Yes. A lot of families come to us to help a student place into or keep up with an honors or accelerated math track. Our tutors shore up the foundational skills and build the confidence and study habits that make the jump to advanced classes manageable.

Definitely. At this age, learning how to learn, note-taking, organization, checking your own work, matters as much as any single topic. Our tutors weave those habits into every session so the payoff lasts well beyond the current class.

Your first hour of tutoring is completely free, no commitment required. Browse our tutors, find the one who best fits your needs, and book your first session right here on the website. Prefer to have us handle it? Call us at (619) 313-4861 and we'll match you with a great tutor and book your first hour for you. Either way, you only continue if you're happy, it's how we let the quality of our tutors speak for itself.
Book your free hour →

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, which tutor you work with (some cost more than others), 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 (619) 313-4861.
Book your free hour →

Your first session is free! After that, we keep a credit card on file and charge it as each session is completed, with no large upfront payment and no long-term contract. If you'd like to save, our academic tutoring offers a discounted 10-hour Honor Roll package, paid up front; its hours never expire and can be shared by any student in your family. Our SAT and ACT prep is sold in packages of 12, 24, or 48 hours, with a lower per-hour rate the more hours you buy. For SAT and ACT prep you can also spread the cost over 12 months with our financing option through Affirm.

You choose what's most convenient for in-person sessions, your home, a local library, or a coffee shop, at the same price either way. We tutor throughout the greater San Diego area, and online anywhere in the U.S. Once you're matched, you and your tutor settle on a regular spot that works for you both.

Yes! It's our most popular option. 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.

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.

After every session, your tutor writes feedback on what was covered and what's next. If you ever have a question about how things are going, call or message our office and we'll check in with your tutor.

Absolutely! 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. Sessions cancelled with less than 6 hours' notice are charged.
