welcome to SFTUTORS,
effective, professional tutoring in san francisco
SFTutors is a privately owned, San Francisco-based tutoring organization. We believe that one-on-one or small-group tutoring is the most effective approach to education. No student has the same strengths, shortcomings, confidences, or fears. Our sessions that offer personalized attention and cater to those needs will inevitably be the most effective. SFTutors helps students manage their time, prepare for tests with more efficiency, improve their skills quickly - and build their confidence.

Extensive Tutoring Experience
Our tutors have an average tutoring and teaching experience of over 15 years. We have successfully tutored hundreds of students from all ages (from 8 to 55) and all academic backgrounds. The majority of our students are high school students, many of whom are preparing for college entrance exams and writing admissions essays. We have helped these students increase their scores on the SAT I and SAT II, ACT, GRE, and GMAT. We have also played a role in raising their grades and helping them gain admission to their first-choice schools. Please see our Background page for our individual bios.
Personalized Attention
Based on an initial assessment or diagnostic test, we design a program that is specific to each student, and focuses on his or her personal educational needs. This allows students to get the maximum benefit from each session, since no time is wasted focusing on areas in which the student is already strong.
Fundamentals
We focus on fundamentals that will be indispensable in other areas of your life, not short-term fixes. While the impending tests are certainly important, equally critical are the study skills and time management techniques we will spend time on in sessions. Using a student-needs driven agenda, we concentrate on skills necessary to achieving your personal best on that upcoming exam – but that will also be essential to your future.
Mentoring
In addition to instructing you in the basics of these subjects, we will assist you with test taking strategies and efficient study habits that will guide you in other subjects as well. We’ll help you navigate through setting your own goals, utilizing feedback to positive and constructive ends – and learning how to manage your stress as well.
Materials
We only use the official materials provided by The College Board® for the SAT and GRE exams. We use those provided by ACT, Inc. for ACT® instruction and those provided by The Graduate Management Admission Council® (GMAC®) for GMAT®.
These texts are the most effective study guides for their respective tests, as they most directly mirror past questions and current trends in these exams. We also have a large set of subject-based homework problems and official tests. Combined, these resources allow our students thorough practice and plenty of rehearsal in which to learn and excel.
Lessons
Each lesson is typically 90 minutes long. We have standard-length programs for Standardized Tests. We also offer customized packages and school help for Writing, Arithmetic, Algebra, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus.
No Risk
We are confident in our approach. After your first session, if you are unsatisfied for any reason, you will not be charged. Please see our Cancellation/Rescheduling Policy.
