The Best Tutoring in South San Francisco, CA

We tailor each plan to the standards and pacing used in South San Francisco Unified School District. Tutors review current class materials, teacher expectations, and state standards so lessons reinforce what is happening in the classroom. We support California state assessments like CAASPP and use unit plans, rubrics, and recent tests to close gaps. With only 39% of SSFUSD students proficient in math, alignment helps students catch up and build confidence where it matters most. We can also coordinate with teachers when families request it.

We provide one-to-one tutoring for elementary through adult learners, in person and online. Core subjects include:
– Math across all levels, including arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus
– Reading, writing, phonics, grammar, and literacy
– Science, including biology, chemistry, and physics
– Study skills and executive function coaching through our X-Skills program
Test prep includes CAASPP state tests, SAT, ACT, PSAT, and AP exams. If you have a specific course or exam, we match a tutor with the right experience for your goals.

We start with a free consultation to learn about your student’s goals, learning style, and personality. Then we match a tutor with proven subject expertise and a teaching approach that fits your child. We also consider schedule, location, and preferences like in-home or online.

Yes. We work with many students who have IEPs, 504 plans, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. Tutors align support with IEP goals and classroom accommodations. We break tasks into clear steps, use multi-sensory strategies, and teach executive function skills like organization, planning, and time management through our X-Skills approach. Families stay involved so strategies used in tutoring carry over into school and at home.

After each session, families receive a session report that summarizes what was covered, strengths, and next steps. We set clear goals and adjust the plan as grades, test scores, and teacher feedback come in. For online students, recorded sessions can be reviewed before tests to reinforce learning. This transparency helps you see growth and keeps everyone working toward the same outcomes.

Common signs include ongoing homework struggles, missing or late assignments, grade drops, or a loss of confidence and motivation. Gaps from earlier grades can also show up in middle or high school, especially in math. One local parent shared that their son had gaps going back to fifth grade and felt he could not learn, and with consistent one-to-one support he rebuilt confidence, filled gaps, and improved study habits. If this sounds familiar, a consultation can help clarify the right next step.
