Math Tutor in Santa Monica.
From John Adams to SaMoHi to Crossroads — math support built for Santa Monica's demanding academic environment.
Santa Monica students move through one of the most academically competitive environments on the Westside. At Crossroads, the math curriculum accelerates quickly — students who miss one unit often find the next three harder than they should be. At SaMoHi, the honors track is strong but large class sizes mean struggling students rarely get the individual attention they need. At John Adams, the middle school to high school math transition is where a lot of students lose their footing. Tiana works one-on-one with each student to find the specific gap and close it — not with drills, but with the understanding that makes the next topic feel manageable.

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 Santa Monica — FAQs
Do you tutor students from Crossroads School?
Yes. Crossroads has an accelerated, discussion-heavy curriculum that moves at a pace most students find challenging at some point. Tiana works with Crossroads students to keep up with that pace — and to build the kind of mathematical fluency Crossroads expects, not just procedural steps.
My student is at Santa Monica High — they're in the regular track but want to move to honors. Is that possible?
Yes, and this is a common situation. Moving up a track requires closing the gap between where the regular curriculum is and what honors expects. Tiana has worked with students making exactly this transition — building the skills and confidence to succeed in the higher track before the new year starts.
Do you offer online math tutoring for Santa Monica students?
Yes. Online sessions are available for Santa Monica students and all California families. The online format works well for math — we use shared whiteboards so students can show their work in real time, exactly as they would in person.
How quickly can a struggling math student turn things around?
It depends on where the gap is and how long it's been there. Students who are behind due to one or two specific missed concepts often improve noticeably within 4–6 sessions once those concepts are rebuilt. Students who have accumulated gaps over years take longer — but progress is consistent as long as sessions are regular.
