Math Tutor in Pacific Palisades.
Pali High is one of the strongest public schools in LA. Math support to match.
Palisades Charter High School consistently ranks among the top public high schools in California. Its honors and AP math program is genuinely rigorous — the students who succeed there are working hard, and the ones who struggle are often not far behind. Many Palisades students are strong academically overall but hit a specific wall in math: usually the transition from Algebra II to Precalculus, or the conceptual leap into AP Calculus. Tiana works one-on-one to identify exactly where that wall is and break through it — not by drilling formulas, but by building the understanding that makes the next topic feel logical rather than arbitrary.
How it works
Three steps. No pressure.
Tell us where your student is stuck and we'll map out support that builds confidence, stronger habits, and real academic skills.
1. Free intro call
Tell us what's going on. We listen, ask questions, and get a feel for where your student stands.
2. A plan that fits
A custom plan — subjects, pace, and how often we meet. No templates, no fluff.
3. Sessions begin
We close the gaps holding your student back, then build forward — adjusting as they grow.
Reviews
What Students & Families Are Saying.
I had to learn how to create an AI Agent for a job interview, and Tiana got me a finished product in 2 hours. She is one of the most intelligent young people I have ever met — and most importantly a phenomenal teacher. — David (a CEO and Harvard MBA)
I couldn't read even a Dr Seuss book or do simple multiplication before I met Tiana. Thank you so much for your help.
We were really stressed about our two kids failing their final exams. Then we found Tiana and honestly, she changed everything.
Common questions
Math Tutoring in Pacific Palisades — FAQs
Do you work with Palisades Charter High School students?
Yes — regularly. Pali High's math program is competitive, and its AP courses are genuinely demanding. Tiana builds sessions around Pali's specific pacing so students aren't just keeping up — they're building the understanding to move through the AP curriculum with confidence.
My Pali High student does well in other subjects but math is a problem. Why?
This is one of the most common patterns. Math is cumulative in a way other subjects aren't — a gap from two years ago resurfaces in every subsequent course. Strong students in history or English sometimes hit math walls because a specific foundational concept was never solidified. We locate that gap in the first session or two.
Do you also help students at Marquez Charter?
Yes. Marquez is a rigorous elementary school, and students who build strong math foundations there enter Paul Revere or Pali High's middle school program at an advantage. We work with elementary students on number sense, fractions, multiplication fluency, and early problem-solving skills.
How do I know if my student needs tutoring or just more practice?
If your student is doing the practice and still not getting consistent results — or avoiding it altogether — that's usually a sign the underlying concept isn't there yet. More practice on a shaky foundation rarely works. The free intro call is a good place to get an honest read on the situation.
Ready when you are
