Welcome to PV Tutor.....we are a network of professional in-home tutors serving Palos Verdes and some surrounding cities. The tutors on this web site have experience with (and knowledge of) the local PV schools, including the text books, the teachers, and overall curriculums. These schools include Palos Verdes and PV Peninsula High School, Chadwick, Rolling Hills Prep, Ridgecrest, PV Intermediate, and the various grade schools.

The tutor you choose will come to your home or a convenient meeting place such as the public library to conduct the lessons. These tutors are at the top of their game in all areas....explanation skills, mastery of their subjects, enthusiasm, and that "knack" for tutoring which is hard to put into words.

My name is Joseph Tillotson....I was on the faculty at Marymount College in Palos Verdes (2004-2007) where I spent several hours per week tutoring math in the learning center. I learned a great deal about every aspect of tutoring while there, and now apply that knowledge and experience to helping my own pupils to be their best. After interviewing several tutors in the area I decided to share this web site with a select few who had the credentials and communication skills which put them above the rest.

Chemistry tutoring: If you are in need of a chemistry tutor for a student at Chadwick, PVHS, or PVPHS Kathrine has been tutoring students from those school since the 2006-2007 school year and is well informed of the curriculums, teachers, and text books. She is truly gifted at explaining this very difficult subject. Her full profile is linked to the left.

SAT Prep: Our SAT prep specialist is Alison. A former Kaplan trainer, Alison got a perfect 2400 on her SAT as an adult, had better score improvements for her pupils than 140 other Kaplan tutors in her socal district, and has a double bachelor's degree in math and English. She tutors all sections of the SAT and is one of the highest ranked SAT prep specialists in Los Angeles.

Math and other K-12 subjects: To learn about the other tutors, please click on the links to the left.

Our focus is on math, the sciences, CPA exam prep, English, and SAT prep. Maria-Elena tutors most Math, Spanish, English, and Science subjects, Helene tutors accounting and CPA exam prep. She is also a great Palos Verdes spanish tutor; with knowledge of the PV school district's books. Samantha tutors English, essay writing, and is also great for all subjects for k through 8th grade.

Location, Lessons, & Rates...

Rates are determined by the tutor and have to do with several factors, including their experience, education level, what they tutor, etc. Every tutor on this website is a well rounded "10". I will typically interview 20-30 tutors before adding one to this web site. Since the curriculums in the PV schools tend to be more challenging than the neighboring school districts I make sure each tutor has completely mastered her subjects and has a great kanck for explaining them.
