The Best Tutoring in San Quentin

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s goals, strengths, challenges, learning style, and schedule. Maureen Carr, a Marin resident and former classroom teacher with a master’s in education, leads our local team and uses this insight to recommend the best-fit tutor. We look at subject expertise, teaching style, personality, and availability. Your child works one-to-one with the same tutor in home or online. If the fit is not right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will make adjustments. A local parent shared that after a careful match and six weeks of sessions, her student’s final test scores exceeded expectations. Schedule a free consultation to begin.

Yes. We align tutoring with California standards and the pacing your child sees in class. We regularly work with families in the San Rafael City Elementary School District, San Rafael City High School District, Tamalpais Union High School District, Larkspur-Corte Madera School District, Sausalito Marin City School District, Kentfield, Ross, Reed Union, Mill Valley, Ross Valley, and Novato Unified. We support CAASPP skills in English and math and NGSS for science, and we can coordinate with teachers when families request it. State data shows only 36 percent of students meet math standards and 47 percent meet English standards, so we reinforce class content and fill skill gaps to help students keep pace and grow.

We support elementary through adult learners, in home and online:
– Elementary: reading and phonics, writing, math foundations, study habits
– Middle school: math through Algebra, science, writing, reading comprehension, Spanish
– High school: Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, History, Spanish, AP courses
– College and adult: math refreshers, writing, study skills, executive function coaching
We serve families in San Quentin and nearby communities like San Rafael, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley, Greenbrae, Kentfield, Ross, Belvedere, Marin City, and Richmond. Contact Tutor Doctor of Marin County to match with a tutor who fits your goals.

We look for the root cause. A tutor checks for missing skills, then teaches the concept step by step with clear examples and guided practice. We connect ideas to real situations, like ratios and rates using bridge spans or travel times in the Bay Area. Sessions include:
– A quick check of prior knowledge
– A simple model or strategy
– Targeted practice and immediate feedback
– Short mixed review to build long-term memory
– A small win to boost confidence
Because only about one in three California students meet math standards, we focus on mastery and confidence, not just homework completion. You receive session notes and next steps after each meeting.

Yes. We can follow IEP and 504 strategies that families share with us, and we adapt instruction to each learner. Tutors use clear routines, visuals, chunked directions, and multisensory strategies when helpful. We also build executive functioning through our X-Skills program, which strengthens organization, planning, time management, prioritization, and goal setting. With one-to-one support, students can move at a comfortable pace and celebrate progress. If you would like, we can coordinate with teachers and counselors to support the plan you already have.

Yes. We offer in-home tutoring across Marin County and flexible online tutoring.
– In home: Your tutor comes to you in San Rafael, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Sausalito, Tiburon, Mill Valley, and nearby areas. Many families prefer the comfort and fewer distractions at home.
– Online: You meet on a secure platform with an interactive whiteboard and shared materials. Every online session is recorded so students can rewatch before quizzes and exams. Online also opens more time options for busy schedules. You can keep the same tutor whether you choose in-home, online, or a mix of both.

You receive a brief report after every session that explains what was covered, how the student did, and what comes next. We set clear goals, check skills regularly, and adjust the plan as needed. You can request check-ins with your education consultant to review progress, upcoming tests, and scheduling. Families tell us this transparency gives them peace of mind and helps students stay motivated between sessions.

Yes. We provide one-to-one test prep that blends content review with proven strategies. For CAASPP, we reinforce grade-level standards in English and math and build stamina for the online format. For SAT, ACT, PSAT, and AP exams, we focus on timing, question types, and targeted practice based on a student’s starting point. We can align schedules with calendars for high schools in San Rafael City High School District and Tamalpais Union High School District. Sessions are available in home or online, and online recordings help with review. Book a free consultation to build a plan that fits your test dates and goals.
