Tutoring in Berkeley, built around your kid

Berkeley kids ask big questions. Learning Lot matches them with local tutors who love answering them, in reading and writing, math, biology, botany, engineering, robotics, debate, chess, Korean, Spanish and more, one-on-one or with a small group of kids nearby.

Our Berkeley tutors include UC Berkeley students who bring what they study, from English literature to genetics and coding, to K–8 kids. Reading and writing lessons grow out of each child's own ideas and stories, and science comes alive through questions, games and hands-on experiments, so kids build real skills and confidence instead of memorizing. Whether you homeschool or want after-school enrichment, sessions happen in person, close to home.
