The Best Tutoring in Burbank, CA

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s goals, classes, learning style, and schedule. Then we match your student with a tutor based on personality, subject expertise, and experience with the Burbank Unified School District and nearby schools. Our process is assess, match, tutor, and support. If the fit does not feel right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or change the tutor.

Yes. We align sessions to current class units, pacing guides, and state standards used by Burbank Unified. We review syllabi, teacher rubrics, recent tests, and homework to stay on track with what is happening in class. We also prepare students for CAASPP expectations with targeted practice and skill building. Burbank Unified has strong results overall, yet the district reported a 2.05 percent drop in ELA proficiency and ongoing challenges for students with disabilities. Our goal is to close those gaps by teaching the required standards and the study habits that help students succeed long term.

We support all ages and most subjects:
– Elementary: reading, phonics, writing, math foundations, study habits
– Middle school: ELA, pre-algebra, algebra, science, organization
– High school: Algebra 1 and 2, geometry, precalculus, calculus, biology, chemistry, physics, ELA, Spanish and more
– Test prep: CAASPP, PSAT, SAT, ACT, AP exams
– College and adult learners: writing, math refreshers, study skills

We also coach executive functioning with our X-Skills program, including organization, time management, and planning. Families work with us across Burbank neighborhoods like Magnolia Park, Media District, Burbank Hills, and Downtown Burbank, as well as nearby Glendale, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, and Studio City.

Yes. We tailor tutoring to each student’s strengths, needs, and accommodations. We can align sessions to IEP or 504 goals, use multi-sensory reading strategies, break tasks into chunks, and pace lessons based on attention and processing needs.

In Burbank Unified, more than half of indicators for students with disabilities have been rated below standard, so personalization matters. We focus on confidence and skill building so students feel capable and supported.

You can choose in-home or online sessions, or a mix of both. In-home sessions happen where your student is most comfortable. Online sessions are convenient and easy to join from anywhere with a reliable connection. We offer flexible scheduling after school and on weekends. Locations we commonly serve include Burbank Central, Burbank West, Burbank East, the Airport Area, and nearby communities like Glendale and Sherman Oaks. Exact scheduling depends on subject, tutor availability, and your family’s calendar.

We set clear goals, establish a baseline, and send updates after each session so you always know what was covered and what is next. You will see notes on skills practiced, strengths, and action items for the next session. We check in regularly to review progress and adjust the plan. One local parent shared, ”The tutor is developing Chasity in her academics that is much needed, including vowel sounds, breaking up her words by syllables, sounding out her words, and moving Chasity into solving equations.” This is the level of detail you can expect.

Nationally, only thirty-six percent of fourth-grade students performed at a proficient level in reading, which is why focused practice and confidence building are important. We tailor plans to the student’s goals and schedule.
