Private Math Tutoring for Palo Alto Students
From pre-algebra through AP Calculus BC, we help Palo Alto students build the deep understanding that accelerated math tracks demand, right at your kitchen table.
Math Subjects We Tutor in Palo Alto
Every math student gets a plan built around what they actually need, aligned with Palo Alto schools and the courses students are taking right now.
Algebra I & II Where Most Families Start
Linear equations, quadratics, polynomials, systems, and functions. Accelerated pathways push many students into algebra by 7th or 8th grade. We make sure they're genuinely ready, not just keeping up.
Geometry
Proofs, congruence, similarity, area, volume, and coordinate geometry. Many students find that geometry demands a different kind of thinking. We teach them to reason visually and logically.
Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry
Functions, limits introduction, trigonometric identities, and analytical thinking. This is the bridge year where many strong Palo Alto students stumble. We keep them on track.
AP Calculus AB & BC
Derivatives, integrals, series, and exam strategy. AP Calculus enrollment is consistently heavy. We combine rigorous exam prep with the conceptual depth that makes college math manageable.
AP Statistics
Data analysis, probability, inference, and experimental design. Growing in popularity at Palo Alto high schools, AP Stats requires a different thinking style that trips up even calculus-track students.
Competition & Enrichment Math
AMC, MATHCOUNTS, and beyond. For Palo Alto students who love math and want to push further than the standard curriculum, building problem-solving depth that stands out.
Shout out to Aidan for his patience, time and sharing his experience with math with my son. We appreciate all the help you've given my son and how you've taken so much weight off of us and my son's confidence in math.
Common Questions from Palo Alto Families
Do you tutor in-home in Palo Alto?
Yes. We tutor in-home across Palo Alto neighborhoods, from Crescent Park to Barron Park and everywhere in between. We also offer online and hybrid sessions for families who want scheduling flexibility.
Which Palo Alto schools do your students attend?
We work with students across Palo Alto's public and private schools. We're familiar with local math sequences and expectations.
Can you help with accelerated math pathways?
Yes. Many families come to us specifically for this. The accelerated track moves quickly, and it's common for students to have surface-level understanding that starts to crack under pressure. We fill those gaps and build the kind of fluency that holds up long-term.
What if my student is already ahead but plateauing?
This is one of the most common patterns we see in Palo Alto. A student who has always been "good at math" hits a wall, usually in pre-calculus or AP Calculus, and the old approach stops working. We help advanced students break through by building deeper conceptual understanding, not just more practice problems.
What does math tutoring cost?
Engagements typically start at $100/hour. We discuss fit, goals, and a realistic plan during the free consultation before making any recommendations. No packages, no pressure.
Let's find the gap that's holding your student back
A 20-minute conversation about where your student actually stands, what's causing the struggle, and what a realistic plan forward looks like. No package pitch. Just a straight answer.
