Conquer School With Confidence

We tailor every plan to what your student is learning in class. For families in Century City, CA, we review teacher syllabi, assignments, rubrics, and recent assessments from Los Angeles Unified School District and nearby districts like Beverly Hills USD, Culver City USD, and Santa Monica–Malibu USD. We teach to California state standards and support unit pacing in core subjects and AP courses. With your permission, we will coordinate with teachers so tutoring reinforces classwork and upcoming tests. Given statewide results that show only 29 percent of 4th graders are proficient in reading and 25 percent of 8th graders are proficient in math, alignment to standards and classroom expectations is essential for steady progress.

We provide one-to-one support for elementary through college-level learners. Subjects include reading and writing, math from foundational skills through Algebra, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and Statistics, and sciences like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We also help with executive functioning and study skills through our X-Skills program. For test prep, we support CAASPP state testing, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP exams. If your student attends school in or near Century City, CA, we align tutoring to current units and upcoming exams so each session connects directly to classroom goals.

Our local owner, Nika, has run Tutor Doctor Santa Monica since 2013 and uses a concierge-style matching process. We start with a free consultation to learn your student’s goals, learning style, schedule, and personality. We then custom match a tutor with the right subject expertise and communication style. All tutors are carefully vetted with background checks and interviews. If the fit is not right, we will adjust the plan or match quickly so your child feels comfortable and supported.

Yes. We offer in-home tutoring across Century City, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Cheviot Hills, West Los Angeles, Beverlywood, Holmby Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Carthay, and Fairfax, as well as online sessions for added flexibility. Our online tutoring mirrors the one-to-one experience and every online session is recorded so students can rewatch before quizzes and tests. Families choose the format that fits their schedule and can mix in-home with online as needed.

You receive regular updates and a brief session report after each tutoring visit that explains what was covered, strengths, and next steps. We set clear goals at the start, check progress against class standards and upcoming assessments, and adjust the plan as needed. With your approval, we can also share updates with teachers so everyone is aligned on what is working.

Yes. Our tutors personalize pacing, break down tasks, and use multi-sensory strategies to match the student’s learning profile. We review IEP or 504 goals, align tutoring to accommodations, and build executive functioning skills like organization, planning, and time management through our X-Skills approach. Families tell us this combination helps students feel more confident and independent.

Three things stand out. First, we are locally owned and deeply connected to Westside schools, so we align to current classroom expectations. Second, our one-to-one, custom-matched approach builds confidence and makes each session productive. Third, we keep parents in the loop with regular reports and practical strategies students can use right away. A local parent shared, “We can’t say enough about how much of a positive impact Debbie C. has had on our daughter’s math scores.” That is the kind of progress we aim to deliver.

Start with a free consultation so we can learn about your student and recommend a plan. After the consult, we match a tutor and schedule your first session. Timing depends on the subject, your availability, and tutor schedules. Many families begin soon after the match is confirmed. Ready to begin?
