The Best Tutoring in San Anselmo

Tutor Doctor of Marin County is locally owned and led by Maureen Carr, a Bay Area educator with a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential and a Master’s in Education. We provide one-to-one tutoring that fits your child’s goals, pace, and personality, in your home or online. Families receive updates after every session, and our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or tutor if needed. We also build executive functioning through our X-Skills program so students learn to plan, organize, and focus, not just complete homework.

Yes. We align to California standards and the expectations at Brookside, Hidden Valley, Wade Thomas, White Hill Middle, and Archie Williams High School. Tutors review teacher syllabi, rubrics, and assignment portals like Google Classroom or Canvas when available. We sync lessons to current units, reinforce classroom methods, and prepare students for state assessments such as CAASPP and NGSS-aligned science tasks. If a student attends San Domenico or another independent school, we tailor to those course outlines too.

We work with students from elementary through adult learners across Ross Valley, Fairfax, Ross, San Rafael, Kentfield, Greenbrae, Mill Valley, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Sausalito, Tiburon, Belvedere, San Geronimo, Woodacre, Bolinas, and Nicasio. Subjects include: Math from number sense and pre-algebra through algebra, geometry, precalculus, statistics, and calculus; English language arts including reading, writing, and literary analysis; Sciences including NGSS middle school science, biology, chemistry, and physics; Spanish and French; History and social studies; Study skills and executive function coaching with X-Skills. We also support test prep for CAASPP, SAT, ACT, PSAT, and AP exams, plus college essays.

We start with a free consultation to learn your student’s goals, learning style, schedule, and school requirements. Then we match a tutor based on subject expertise, teaching approach, and personality fit. Your first sessions confirm the fit, and our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will make adjustments if needed. This careful process helps students feel comfortable and build momentum quickly.

Yes. We personalize instruction to the student’s needs and align with any IEP or 504 accommodations. Tutors use strategies like breaking tasks into small steps, multisensory methods, note-taking frameworks, and visual planners. Our X-Skills coaching builds organization, time management, and prioritization so students can complete work more independently. Parents stay involved and receive session reports after each visit.

Yes. We tutor in-home throughout ZIP code 94960 and nearby areas, and we also offer online sessions. Online lessons can be recorded for review so students can replay tricky concepts before quizzes and exams. Families choose the format that works best week by week, which helps with busy after-school and weekend schedules. All tutors complete background checks.

You will receive a session report after every visit that highlights goals, what was covered, wins, and next steps. We set clear milestones, then monitor class grades, quiz and test scores, assignment completion, and confidence. We can add a baseline and follow-up assessment or a MindPrint Learning Assessment to guide strategies. Parents often see results in consistency and confidence first. A San Anselmo parent shared, “The tutor worked with my daughter at our home 3x a week for 6 weeks and her final test scores exceeded our expectations.”

Common signs include slipping grades, unfinished or missing assignments, stress before tests, or big transitions like moving from White Hill Middle to Archie Williams High School.
