The Best Tutoring in Vallejo, CA

We start with a free consultation to understand your childs goals, strengths, and challenges. We look at learning style, personality, schedule, and subject needs. Then we match your child with a tutor who fits on all those points.

As the local owner of Tutor Doctor of Marin County, Maureen Carr, a former classroom teacher with a California Multiple Subject Credential and a Masters in Education, personally oversees the matching process. If the fit is not right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or tutor. Sessions are one-to-one, either in your home in Vallejo or online, so your child gets personal attention from day one.

Yes. We tailor tutoring to your childs current classes and the expectations of Vallejo City Unified School District, as well as nearby districts like Benicia Unified and West Contra Costa Unified.

For state testing, we reinforce grade-level skills and provide practice for CAASPP-style questions so your child feels prepared.

You receive a session report after every visit. Reports summarize skills covered, wins from the session, and clear next steps.
