FAQs

Why is Beach Cities Tutoring so unique?

Because Beach Cities Tutoring was founded by a special education teacher and many of our tutors are current or former teachers, we have a strong passion for helping students as well as the formal educational training and knowledge of curriculum and pedagogy. Also, our director wants to make sure that you are completely satisfied with your tutor match so you will receive a follow up call after your first session. We guarantee your satisfaction.

How long does it take to sign up for Tutoring?

Although you can contact us through our contact tab, you can also call us directly at (310) 210-4415. We will get back to you within 1-3 hours. A contract is needed before a tutor can come to your home but it can be sent electronically within seconds and billing is done online so technically you could have a tutor the same day based on tutors’ availability. It is always more advantageous to call a few days in advance of wanting to star tutoring, but we will do our very best to accommodate last minute requests as well.
