Welcome to South Bay Tutors, your source for in-home tutoring for all K-12 subjects and SAT test prep. We are a network of professional educators.
The founder, Joseph Tillotson, was on the math faculty at Marymount College from 2004 to 2007 and has hand-picked several other highly effective tutors. Unlike other tutoring companies, we pay no money to third parites such as bookkeepers, executves' salaries, or office rent.
The SAT specialists are Allison, Paul, and Victor. Each is highly trained in SAT prep with sterling credentials. The rest of the tutors specialize in various non-SAT subjects.
Allison is now with South Bay Tutors for Math, English, and SAT prep. She is a dynamic tutor with the following credentials:
- bachelors degree in both Math and English from Scripps College in Claremont.
- Seven years of tutoring experience
- trained and taught for 2 years for an SAT prep company.
- Scored a perfect 2400 when she recently re-took the new SAT as an adult.
- taught pre-calculus at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy
In addition to her sterling credentials Allison is gifted with a charismatic and friendly personality to go along with her great tutoring abilities. Perhaps her most impressive credential is the fact that of the 140 tutors working for the same California based SAT prep company she works for it was her pupils who improved the most over the pupils of the other 139 tutors. This is quite an achievement!
