Frequently Asked Questions

How do you match my child with the right tutor in Burlingame, CA?

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s goals, classes, personality, and learning style. Then we look for a tutor with the right subject expertise and a good personality fit. All tutors pass background checks and are trained to personalize lessons. If the match is not right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or the tutor. Sessions can be in-home across Burlingame neighborhoods like Easton Addition, Lyon Hoag, Burlingables, and Burlingame Hills, or online for extra flexibility.

Do you align tutoring with the Burlingame School District and San Mateo Union High School District curriculum?

Yes. We align instruction with California Common Core standards, NGSS for science, and course expectations in the Burlingame School District and the San Mateo Union High School District. We support students at Roosevelt, McKinley, Hoover, Lincoln, Washington, Burlingame Intermediate School, and Burlingame High School. Tutors can review class syllabi, teacher feedback, and upcoming assessments so sessions connect directly to what your child is learning in class, including CAASPP benchmarks and AP course requirements.

What subjects and grade levels do you support for tutoring in Burlingame, CA, and nearby areas?

We provide one-to-one tutoring for all ages, from early elementary through high school, college, and adult learners. Subjects include:
– Math from foundational skills to Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics
– English Language Arts including reading, writing, and literary analysis
– Sciences including Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science aligned to NGSS
– World languages, computer science, and study skills
– Test prep for CAASPP, SAT, ACT, and AP Exams
We serve Burlingame, Hillsborough, Millbrae, San Mateo, San Bruno, Foster City, Belmont, South San Francisco, and more.

How do you help students who are struggling with specific math concepts at BIS or Burlingame High?

We identify the root cause through a brief skills check and a review of classwork. Then we teach the concept in a way that fits the student’s learning style, followed by targeted, scaffolded practice. We also build X-Skills habits like organization, time management, and test-taking strategies so gains last. Local families tell us they see improved confidence, stronger note-taking, and better scheduling habits. In a high-achieving community where about 70 percent of K to 8 students are proficient in math, this individualized support helps students close gaps and keep pace with rigorous coursework.

How do you track progress and keep families in the loop in Burlingame?

You will receive session reports after every meeting that summarize what was covered, what is next, and any at-home practice. We set clear goals, monitor grades and classroom feedback, and check in regularly to adjust the plan. For online tutoring, sessions can be recorded for review. With your permission, we can also coordinate with teachers so everyone is working toward the same outcomes.

Can you support students with IEPs or learning differences in Burlingame, CA?

Yes. We work with students who have a range of learning differences and needs. We tailor pacing, materials, and strategies to the student and align our support with the IEP or 504 plan when provided. Our one-to-one model allows us to reduce distractions, build confidence, and teach skills like planning and prioritization that make school more manageable.

Where and when do sessions take place for families in Burlingame?

Sessions can take place in your home anywhere in Burlingame, CA, or online. We offer flexible scheduling, including after school and weekends, to fit busy family calendars. We support students across Burlingame Park, Ray Park, Burlingame Gardens, Downtown Burlingame, and surrounding cities in San Mateo County.
