The Best Tutoring in Greenbrae

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s goals, strengths, and challenges. Then we match based on subject expertise, teaching style, personality, and schedule. Our local owner Maureen Carr is a former classroom teacher who uses her experience to make thoughtful matches. If the fit is not right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or tutor. We offer in-home sessions throughout Greenbrae and nearby areas, as well as online options.

Yes. We follow California content standards and align with local curricula from Kentfield School District, Larkspur-Corte Madera School District, and Tamalpais Union High School District. That includes Bacich Elementary, Adaline E. Kent Middle School, and feeder high schools within Tamalpais Union such as Redwood High. We review syllabi, teacher expectations, and pacing guides when available so sessions support what your student is learning in class. We can also help students prepare for state testing like CAASPP and for AP courses.

Yes. We provide one-to-one in-home tutoring across Greenbrae, from homes near Bon Air Center to neighborhoods along the base of Mount Tamalpais. We also offer online tutoring. Online sessions are recorded so students can rewatch key explanations before quizzes and exams. This is especially useful for math and science. Scheduling is flexible, including after school and weekends. We serve families in Kentfield, Larkspur, San Rafael, Ross, Corte Madera, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Fairfax, Sausalito, Tiburon, and Novato.

We tutor elementary, middle, and high school students, plus college and adult learners. Subjects include math at all levels, reading, writing, sciences, Spanish and other languages, and study skills. We also support test preparation for CAASPP, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP exams. Many families choose a blend of subject support and executive function coaching so students can stay organized, manage time, and follow through on assignments.

We identify the root cause first. That may be a gap from a prior unit, a misunderstanding of vocabulary, or a strategy that does not fit the student’s learning style. Then we teach concepts step by step, use targeted practice, and connect ideas to what is happening in class. We align sessions with current units in Kentfield, Larkspur-Corte Madera, and Tamalpais Union courses. Students get clear explanations, guided practice, and review of errors so they build confidence and accuracy.

You receive a session report after every meeting. Reports outline what was covered, wins from the session, and next steps. We set measurable goals and check in regularly. With your permission, we can coordinate with classroom teachers to support upcoming assessments and projects. Families in Greenbrae tell us this approach works. One local parent shared that Maureen quickly paired their daughter with an outstanding tutor, and after six weeks of three sessions per week, her final test scores exceeded expectations.

Yes. We personalize instruction to your child’s pace and needs and align with IEP or 504 goals. Tutors adjust how material is presented, build in frequent checks for understanding, and incorporate executive function strategies. Our X-Skills program helps students strengthen organization, planning, prioritization, time management, and goal setting. We work to reduce stress and build confidence so students can make steady progress.

It begins with a free consultation. We learn about your goals, recommend a plan, and match a tutor. Many families start within a few days, although timing can vary by subject and schedule.
