Our philosophy at High Performance Tutoring is simple: the best learning happens with the best teachers and tutors. The person sitting beside your student is the single most important variable in the equation, far more than any app, classroom, or textbook.
That belief is why we are relentlessly selective. Only the top 5% of the people who apply make it through, and every one of them must pair deep subject expertise with the ability to explain complex ideas clearly and patiently, so they truly click for the student. We also insist on great personalities and complete reliability.
We then train our tutors to do more than raise grades, to build genuine confidence and the independent, critical thinking that defines the strongest students.

You guys are absolutely the best. We literally think Ingo walks on water.
I've met with multiple tutors at HPT over several semesters for help in trig, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. They saved me from failing a few times. I'm pleased with the useful and professional support I received.
Tutoring with Ingo has been so helpful. He's helping me discover fundamentals I never learned, while showing me I know more than I thought. I appreciate how he breaks down each problem and helps me prepare for similar ones.
My son went from a frustrated 9th grader getting D's on his math tests to straight A's for the next three years. He actually signed himself up for AP Calculus his senior year because he wanted to maintain his knowledge going into college.
The tutors are great at explaining issues and problems that people like myself struggle with. I now enjoy math which allows me to understand and comprehend more clearly what is going on in class.
We've used High Performance Tutoring for two subjects, Calc and Chem, and have been very happy. The most important thing was for our son to feel confident, and that's exactly what happened. He came home saying, 'Now I get it.' Highly recommend.
Ingo is incredible, and we are so grateful for all the hard work he does with our son. We feel so lucky to have him.
Chase's grades are improving on tests, and he really likes Ingo, which is an added benefit! Great work, Ingo!
My tutor, Ingo, was incredibly helpful in guiding me toward a higher Quantitative GRE score. He was patient and thorough, and I learned more than just how to take the test, I learned fundamental math skills I'd let lapse. I'm really grateful for his help!
My children have loved every tutor we have used from High Performance. The tutors have helped them excel in their studies in the classroom and helped them succeed on the AP, IB, ACT, and SAT exams!
I used High Performance Tutoring over a 5-week period during my preparation for the GMAT. Despite the short timeframe, we were able to hit my target score and I got accepted to the Booth School of Business in Chicago!
We've been very impressed with the methodical, detailed tutoring by Ingo. He's been working with our son on his SAT and ACT prep. Extremely pleased so far!
Parents don't come to us for a higher test score alone. They come for what a great tutor unlocks, the confidence and habits that shape a student's future long after the last session.

High Performance Tutoring was founded in 2011 by Victor Camacho with one belief: the best learning happens with the best teachers. What began in Salt Lake City as a small group of passionate math tutors has grown into a nationwide network helping students unlock their potential, including right here in Berkeley.
From the beginning, our mission has been to combine deep subject knowledge with exceptional communication. Every tutor passes a rigorous selection process and meets our High Performance Certification standards for expertise, teaching ability, and personality.
Demand soon expanded beyond math and science into a wide range of subjects and test prep. We built custom scheduling systems, hired dedicated support staff, and streamlined every step of the tutoring experience to deliver consistent, high-quality service.
What hasn't changed is our passion. We love what we do, and we're proud to have helped thousands of students raise their grades, boost test scores, and gain confidence. Every Berkeley student deserves a tutor who can truly make a difference, and we're excited to deliver exactly that.
