Rate is normally 85 per hour for these teachers. We have two amazing Palos Verdes credentialed teachers currently in the network. Stephanie and Anne are both phenomenal with helping k-5 students do catch up or get ahead and both have worked extensively in the public schools as California Credentialed teachers; Anne is a retired second grade teacher residing in South Redondo Beach and Stephanie teaches fourth grade in Manhattan Beach. Stephanie is availbale for summer tutoring in redondo beach and torrance.
OCtober is a month when we get the most calls. Many students fall behind a lot during summer but it only becomes apparent when the material gets more difficult around this time, as usually the first month of school is easier review material.

Welcome to PAlos Verdes tutor. We are a team of professionals that cover K-12, college, and SAT & ACT test prep for Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Torrance, and Redondo Beach. The tutors keep over 80 percent of the revenue they earn during lessons. This allows us to attract and keep the very best. Lessons are conducted at your home or at a convenient location such as the public library. Virtual lessons are also available, with nearly all tutors doing both. K-5 students are an exception. We only do in person for this age range as virtual does not work well for them in our experience. If you insist on virtual for this age group we will give it a try and see how it goes but experience has shown in person to be superior.

My name is Joseph Tillotson. I began tutoring on the math faculty at Marymount University (then Marymoutn College) in Palos Verdes in 2004. I was the tutor special needs students would often be referred to and I loved helping them. Many were at a middle school math level while in their second year of college. As someone who dealt with varying levels of ADD as a kid I understand what it is like to have trouble paying attention or to have my mind wandering while I am trying to focus. I enjoyed the challenge of helping to explain math to them and of helping to build their confidence levels. Many simply had trouble focusing on what teachers were saying and needed someone to "speak their language". I began doing private tutor lessons in Palos Verdes that same year and brought in more tutors in the following years. The students I worked with at the college were often special needs students for math. I enjoyed helping them to become more confident and successful with their math classes. Many students were lacking confidence, and once confidence was established progress and increased study time often followed. I saw that the lack of confidence often was the result of them not finding anyone who could explain the math to them in a way that made sense. Other psychological and emotional factors were often present. I witnessed highly effective tutors as well as the opposite while at the tutoring center at Marymount and learned much of what made a tutor effective or not. I have sought out only those tutors who are truly gifted at what they do.
