The Best Tutoring in Ashland, CA

We start with a free consultation where we learn about your child’s goals, learning style, personality, and schedule. We also review recent schoolwork and feedback from teachers when available. Then we recommend a tutor with the right subject expertise and the right approach for your child. Our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or the tutor if something is not working. The result is one-to-one support that feels personal and builds confidence. Book a free consultation to get started.

Yes. Our tutors follow California standards and the classroom pacing used in San Lorenzo Unified, Hayward Unified, San Leandro Unified, and Castro Valley Unified. We look at current units, rubrics, and teacher expectations so tutoring supports what is happening in class. When possible, we coordinate with teachers and use the same platforms students see at school, such as Google Classroom. This keeps sessions relevant to homework, projects, and CAASPP skills.

We support students of all ages, from early elementary through adult learners. Common areas include:
– Math from number sense and pre-algebra through algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, and statistics
– English language arts including reading, phonics, writing, grammar, and research skills
– Sciences including biology, chemistry, and physics
– Study skills and our X-Skills program for organization, time management, and planning
– World languages and enrichment by request
If you have a specific subject in mind, we will match you with a tutor who teaches that course.

Tutors are carefully vetted for subject expertise, communication skills, and a student-first mindset. Many hold or are pursuing advanced degrees in their fields. Each tutor completes a background check and training on one-to-one instruction. We match tutors to students based on personality fit, learning style, and the exact course or standard the student is working on. You will receive regular updates so you can see the impact of the match.

Yes. We personalize sessions to each student’s needs and can align with IEP or 504 goals. Tutors use strategies that support focus, working memory, and processing, and we build executive function through our X-Skills program. We adjust pacing, provide structured note-taking, break tasks into steps, and create routines that reduce stress. Families stay in the loop with clear session reports. If you would like, we can collaborate with your child’s school team.

You will receive a brief session report after each meeting that shows what was covered, what your child did well, and next steps. We set clear goals at the start, such as improving quiz scores, finishing assignments on time, or building confidence in problem solving. We check in with you to review progress and adjust the plan as needed. Many families tell us they see improvements in both grades and motivation. A local parent shared, ”Our daughter went from a D to a B in math within a quarter.”

Yes. We provide one-to-one prep for CAASPP skills, SAT, ACT, PSAT, and AP exams. We begin with a skills review or a diagnostic, set a plan, teach strategies, and build in practice with feedback.

Ask about adding the MindPrint Learning Assessment to tailor strategies even further.
