Tutoring in Glendale, CA
Kokoro Tutoring provides in-person and online tutoring for Glendale students from our office at 139 S Verdugo Rd, near the corner of Verdugo Road and East Colorado Street, with onsite parking. We work with students at their level and pace, whether that means catching up in Algebra, staying ahead in AP Calculus, or preparing for the SAT. Tutors meet students at our Glendale office, in students' homes, or online.
Kokoro tutors are career educators, not college students working part-time. Most have taught for a decade or more, and several for over twenty years. The team includes graduated subject majors, published textbook authors, and PhD candidates. Kokoro was founded by Adam Lampert, who has worked with students for more than 20 years.
Subjects we tutor in Glendale
Mathematics — Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus including AP AB/BC and IB, Statistics, and Differential Equations.
Science — Physics through AP and IB, Chemistry through AP and IB, Biology, and AP Computer Science.
Humanities — English literature and writing through AP, essay development, and reading comprehension.
Languages — Spanish, French, Italian, Latin, and others on request.
Tutors work from the student's own syllabus, textbook, and upcoming assessments, so sessions support what's happening in the classroom rather than running parallel to it.
Test preparation
We prepare Glendale students for the SAT and ACT, the PSAT, and for private and parochial school admissions through the ISEE and HSPT. Graduate-level preparation is available for the GRE, GMAT, MCAT, and LSAT.
Test prep begins with a diagnostic so we know where the available points actually are, then targets those sections rather than reviewing everything evenly.
Glendale schools we work with
Glendale Unified School District — Glendale High School, Herbert Hoover High School, Anderson W. Clark Magnet High School, Theodore Roosevelt Middle School, Eleanor J. Toll Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson Middle School.
Independent and parochial — Glendale Adventist Academy, plus the schools Glendale families commonly commute to: St. Francis High School, Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, Flintridge Preparatory School, Providence High School, Village Christian School, Notre Dame High School, Harvard-Westlake, Campbell Hall, Immaculate Heart High School, Ribet Academy, Chaminade College Preparatory, Crespi Carmelite, Loyola High School, and Marlborough School.
Not every Glendale student attends a Glendale school. If your student commutes, we tutor to that school's course sequence rather than the district's.
What parents say
We are so happy with Kokoro Tutoring. I am not sure what we would have done without Adam and his team. They are so knowledgeable, trustworthy, updating parents with student's progress. I can't express the gratitude and respect I have towards this establishment and Adam especially.
— Inga H., Glendale High School parent

Common questions from Glendale families
Where are you located and is there parking?
139 S Verdugo Rd, Glendale, CA 91205, near Verdugo Road and East Colorado Street. We have onsite parking.
Do you come to our house?
Yes. Tutors travel to students' homes in Glendale and the surrounding area. Any travel charge depends on distance — ask when you call.
How long are sessions and how often should we meet?
Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes. Most students meet once or twice a week, though it depends on the subject and how far behind or ahead they're working.
Can you help with a specific teacher's class at Glendale High or Hoover?
Yes. We work from your student's actual assignments, syllabus, and upcoming tests rather than a fixed curriculum of our own.
