Pivot Tutors, LLC is a rigorous, high-level academic tutoring and test preparation center. We aim to challenge our students to help them reach their highest academic potential. Our teachers are charismatic, experienced, and experts in their fields, and we help students not only master the subject material, but show them how to study independently. We work with students of all different academic backgrounds, and as long as students are hardworking, there is no doubting their success. Our mission is to create a learning community of intellectually passionate students and teachers. We teach our students the knowledge and skills to help them become academically competitive and self-assured learners. What’s more, our mission is to provide our students with the foundation to successfully pursue any career they are intrigued by. Our teaching style pushes students to stretch themselves, and become more adaptable learners who are capable, creative, and confident. History Established in 2013. I have been tutoring high school and college students, as well as teaching college classes (at UCSD) since 2003, and officially started Pivot Tutors in 2013 as bonafide business.
