Boutique One-on-One Tutoring
Building better students, one at a time
One-on-one academic tutoring, SAT/ACT prep, and college support for students from elementary school through college. We work with a limited number of families so we can deliver real results: stronger grades, higher scores, and more confident students.
Build deeper understanding, stronger habits, and better results
Our expert tutors help students do more than just get through their assignments. We help them build a deeper understanding of the material, develop stronger academic habits, and learn how to succeed with each teacher and each class.
Because we know from experience what teachers expect, and because we know many Los Angeles-area schools so well, we can help students avoid common pitfalls and work more effectively.
Through strong one-on-one relationships and highly individualized support, we help students become more engaged, more confident, and more successful in school.
Master the test, the strategy, and the pressure
Doing well in school and doing well on standardized tests are not the same thing. Our test prep specialists help students master both the material and the test itself: its structure, its patterns, its traps, and its timing.
We constantly analyze the SAT, ACT, ISEE, HSPT, AP exams, and more so we can build highly individualized strategies that big-box prep companies simply cannot match.
We break the tests down into manageable pieces, teach students how to think strategically under pressure, and help them walk in more confident and prepared.
Present your strengths with clarity, purpose, and perspective
We help students navigate the college admissions process with insight, strategy, and perspective. Our team understands what selective colleges are looking for in academics, extracurriculars, testing, essays, and applications, and we help students present themselves in the strongest and most authentic way possible.
By building strong relationships with students and families, we are able to guide each student toward a college list and application strategy that reflects both their ambitions and who they truly are.
"It was hard to decide between the ACT and the SAT since their scores were so close, but you stuck to your guns even when others tried to get them to shift to the SAT. We were beyond happy with their scores: 34 and 36 respectively. They were accepted to all of their early admissions schools. A few have even offered merit scholarship money. Again, we cannot thank you enough for your help and guidance, as well as being a calming influence when our nerves were getting the better of us."

A Personal Approach
I started Achieve Tutorials because I saw how many students needed more than subject help alone. They needed someone who could teach the material, yes, but also help them approach school more effectively, build confidence, and develop better academic habits. That is still the heart of what we do.
Over the years, I’ve built a small team of highly experienced, exceptional educators who share that philosophy. We work closely with students and families to provide highly individualized support in academics, test prep, and college admissions. Our students attend some of the best middle and high schools in Los Angeles, and we tailor our teaching to each student’s goals, learning style, abilities, and school curriculum.
We’re more than just tutors. We’re academic mentors committed to the long-term growth and success of our students. We help students and parents navigate the path to college at every stage, from schoolwork to the SAT and ACT to application essays. We also work with a limited number of families so we can stay fully invested in each student’s progress.
If you’re ready to invest in your child’s academic future, I invite you to get started today.
What Families Say
Marymount Parent
“High school, particularly math and science classes, were a huge struggle for our daughter, but after working with Achieve Tutorials, she not only did much better in school (from a C to an A- in math), but she decided to become a science major in college! She was so inspired, and I can’t thank our tutor enough for making her confident in her own abilities.”
Harvard Westlake Parent
“We have worked with Achieve Tutorials for 7 years (tutoring our two very different children). The tutors are all excellent in their respective fields. In addition, they are intuitive and sensitive to the needs of each particular child. I cannot imagine high school for our children without Achieve Tutorials!!!”
Loyola Parent
“I know my son made 1500 combined Math and Reading as a result of the exceptional tutoring provided by Achieve. With grades and SAT scores he was accepted to UCLA and Harvard!”
Brentwood and Marlborough Parent
“Achieve Tutorials has been a one stop shop for our four children. We give them our highest possible recommendation. Achieve has helped the children with all of their subjects from Algebra to zoology and beyond. We have referred Achieve to many friends and they have had the same positive experiences.”
