Tutoring in Your Bay Area Home
Academic tutoring is about far more than "making the grade." With academic tutoring, students grow comfortable with challenging material, gain confidence in their abilities, and develop skills underpinning future growth.
Same Results, Less Time and Money
Many families find that one or two hours a week working with a PrepPoint tutor can replace several hours a week of self-study, group tutoring, or learning center attendance.
This surprising result is made possible by PrepPoint's one-on-one interaction, expert tutors, and flexible curriculum-focused program that offers help for everyone.
One-on-One, in Your Home
Recognizing that every student is different, PrepPoint provides one-on-one tutoring to efficiently and effectively address each student's individual needs.

Curriculum-Focused Program
Addressing "learning gaps" is an integral part of any learning program. Fixating on basic skills, however, does little to help students with the most pressing challenges: this week's concepts, assignments, and tests. PrepPoint's curriculum-focused program emphasizes "first things first," helping students master the current material immediately while fine-tuning fundamentals over time.
Help for Everyone
PrepPoint tutors work with students of all ages and levels, all the way from the 3 R's to Honors and A.P. material.
- Math
- Science
- Foreign language

Our multi-faceted tutors are often available to help with more unusual subjects, as well. Please inquire if your subject is not listed.
