Tutoring in San Francisco, built around your kid
San Francisco families come to Learning Lot when they want more than homework help: someone who gets their kid. Tell us what your child loves or is stuck on, and we match them with a local tutor, who also acts as a mentor, who teaches it with real enthusiasm, one-on-one or with a small group of like-minded kids nearby.
Our community includes a USF nursing student who has tutored more than 80 kids in math, an SF State physics TA, a Minerva University neuroscience student who also teaches writing and music, a public speaking and debate coach, and a biology major who has worked with kids with special needs. Whether you homeschool, want after-school enrichment, or need a hand with a tricky subject, sessions happen in person, close to home.
My kid's favorite tutor is calm and patient.

They meet. Magic happens.
In-person sessions in your home or neighborhood. Try different tutors until you find the perfect fit.
Where in San Francisco do tutors meet families?
In your home or somewhere nearby in your neighborhood, like a library, park or café. We match you with a tutor nearby, so sessions fit around school and pickups instead of a drive across the city.
What subjects do San Francisco tutors teach?
Math, science, physics, chemistry, neuroscience, English, creative writing, music, public speaking, debate, Korean, social skills and more. Tutors connect subjects around what your child is curious about, rather than following one syllabus. We're adding new tutors every week.
What ages do you work with?
Kids from kindergarten through 8th grade.
Can my child learn with other kids?
Yes. Sessions can be one-on-one or with a small group of like-minded kids close to home.
What if the first match isn't right?
We'll keep matching until it clicks.
