CREDIBILITY IS THE HEARTBEAT OF OUR TUTORING FAMILY.
“Trust, but verify.” -Ronald Reagan
We’ve built our culture on a foundation of transparency, compassion, excellence, and passion for what we embody. We’re here to empower our students through tailored strategies, and we work to build relationships which will resonate with our students long after they’ve soared to higher levels.
We offer friendly and reliable tutors to help students improve on any subject needed. By making a subject relatable, incorporating technology, and creating more interactive sessions, we make learning genuinely enjoyable. Most of all, we prioritize the creation of an optimal learning environment where tutees feel comfortable and everyone is happy. We handpick our tutors based on character as much as professional achievement, thereby fostering positive and compassionate teaching methods. “Dumb questions” don’t exist.
Parents and students alike must address us immediately with concerns; if given an unsuitable tutor, we will work with them to choose another tutor. If an issue cannot be resolved, we uphold our 100% money-back guarantee policy.
Paulina is originally from Mexico. She moved to San Diego in late 2008 and she didn’t know practically any English when she arrived to this country. Having experienced firsthand the pressures and complexities of learning concepts in a foreign tongue, Paulina became a fierce advocate in encouraging others to overcome similar obstacles. Since 2014, she has been assisting students from diverse cultural backgrounds with their varied learning needs on a spectrum of subjects within the Math, Physics, Chemistry, English, and Spanish disciplines; she has since continued with private one-on-one tutoring sessions in West Los Angeles, including homeschooling and after-school lessons, tailored to each student’s needs. Paulina discovered that this was her passion. Once people realized that, she quickly found herself with more clients than she could accommodate. As the saying goes: people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. To keep up with growing demands, she decided that she could use some help…
A San Diego native, Greg Dunn is known amongst the team as the web-wizard screenwriting behind the scenes. Greg brings on board a background in business communication and philosophy, armed with a vibrant work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit that guided him to the voice-over industry. Navigating through the hiccups and pitfalls of modern voice-over business models, he is also the founder of VoiceBid, a competitive online marketplace that connects voice-over talent to business. Greg met Paulina in high school; they moved to Los Angeles in late 2014 and together launched Tutisto. Through Tutisto, Paulina and Greg’s mission has been to create a close-knit band of tutors who offer a fusion of high intelligence and integrity in order to create a tutee-friendly environment that guarantees sustainable success. This has ultimately become the foundation of Tutisto’s company culture, centered on its five primary values: credibility, integrity, quality, ease of use, and inspiration.
We have had the pleasure of working with Paulina for 1 year. She communicates with my daughter in her specific learning style to optimize comprehension of the material. Instead of hiring different tutors for each subject, she will switch gears from Geometry, World History, English to Spanish….punctual and reliable….and last, but not least a wonderful person. I look forward to seeing her smiling face not only because she brings such relief to my daughter, but she also brightens my day with her calm and sweet demeanor.
Paulina is fabulous. My daughter needed a Spanish tutor and what a surprise she is also a great math tutor. She is an excellent tutor and most of all relates really well with my daughter. Paulina is reliable, on time and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Paulina and so happy that we have found her.
Paulina is a great tutor. After taking a 25-year break from school, I decided to go back and finish my bachelor’s degree. Paulina helped me with Algebra, Business Math, and Probability. She is patient, courteous, and very professional. She has a way of taking very complicated subjects and making them simpler and easier to comprehend. I would strongly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for an excellent tutor.
My 10th grade daughter had a wonderful Tutisto tutor, Paulina, for Math Analysis (pre-calculus). My daughter attends a highly-rated charter high school but we opted for her to take online Math Analysis via Laurel Springs under Paulina’s guidance.
My daughter looked forward to her weekly 1.5 hour sessions with Paulina. If she had questions during the week, my daughter would text Paulina who responded immediately. Paulina kept me informed of my daughter’s progress throughout the year.
Paulina is exceptionally organized, responsive, smart, patient and communicative. We are very grateful to have found her through a friend and will continue to have her tutor Calculus next year to augment the high school teacher’s lessons.
My only regret is that we didn’t find Paulina earlier, as we would have hired her to help my daughter learn geometry in 8th grade!
I absolutely loved my tutor from Tutisto! I would definitely recommend using Tutisto to anybody. I was always excited for my tutor to come and work with her because she made hard subjects easy to learn. My tutor was always on time, knowledgeable in all subjects, and made studying so easy for me. She even brought her own worksheets that pertained to the subject I was learning so I would be able to get more practice than in a classroom or studying by myself. My tutor taught me techniques for studying and learning difficult material that I still continue to use in college. I cannot put into words how much Tutisto helped me succeed!
Paulina is truly an exceptional tutor! This could end up being a very lengthy review…She worked with my daughter during her last year of middle school and hopefully will continue to assist her in high school if tutoring is needed. Paulina tutored her mostly in mathematics and science, but also assisted her with other challenging subject matter as well.
Paulina is very bright indeed but is also kind, warm hearted, and naturally intuitive. She was able to tune-in to what my daughter needed consistently. Whether study breaks were needed, emotional guidance if frustration levels were high with the subject matter, or simply a change in venue…Paulina knew how to tackle the specific challenge.
Paulina is a true gift to the teaching profession. My daughter and I feel so blessed that Paulina has been there through the challenges of a highly academic middle school.
Paulina is an absolutely fantastic tutor! She shines a light on the clouded material in seconds, and with her guidance on different practice problems, you’ve got the concept down! I really recommend her for all subjects that she tutors. She has a great personality.
We have been using Tutisto for well 2 years now and couldn’t be happier with the expertise and quality of the tutors. I have two teenagers who consider their tutors friends as well as their tutor. We tried other tutoring places and did not see results until we tried Tutisto who understands not all students learn the same way.
I have been getting tutored with Tutisto for a little over three years now! I always struggled with math and going to Pali High a school with an awful math department eager to make kids hate math. I was lost, and my hate for math only grew after my first year of math at Pali and it reflected in my grade. It wasn’t that I hated math, it was more how it made me feel; stupid and dumb. Tutisto provided me with a very qualified tutor that taught me the information in a technique that was personal for me, something that public school lacks. After three plus years I can confidently say i no longer hate math and feel confident taking my college placement test! Never in a million years would I ever think that I could say something like that! During my senior year, I struggled with processing research papers and certain books, so Tutisto provided me with another very qualified tutor that is able to help me in a very personal way perfect for my learning style! I am beyond thankful for Tutisto as they have made an everlasting impact on my life!
Paulina has been the best tutor I’ve ever worked with- she has been working with me on my independent math class and is able to work with me in a way that I understand and even enjoy the material. Could not recommend more
We’ve had two daughters working with Paulina. One in middle school and one in high school. We were so lucky to have found Paulina’s services. We have worked with other tutors in the past but have never had such a constructive and rewarding experience with any of them. Paulina is so attentive to our girls needs. They didn’t have to bother with a skills test or take on any excess skill building work that other tutors had us do.
Paulina worked specifically on the lessons that our daughter received from school and continued to work in conjunction with our Math teacher’s lessons and plan. Our high school student had a D in her Algebra 2 class and was completely exasperated and overwhelmed by the material. With Paulina’s help, our daughter brought her grade up to a B+. Real results! In addition, her tutoring helped change my daughters disposition and attitude toward Math. She has developed a confidence in tackling her lessons quizzes, knowing that she has the skills to succeed. Scheduling with Paulina is easy and convenient, she has always met us in a safe, comfortable location and the times where usually after school or on the weekends. On the occasion when meeting in person was not possible due to school extracurricular activities, Paulina would hold phone or online tutoring session. She was always available, even for a quick question.
Our middle schooler worked with one of Paulina’s associates. Middle school is such a hard age to work with, the kids are not as focused as in high school and are not thinking of their future what so ever. We worked with Gefen. Gefen was fantastic. She knew how to wrangle my distracted kid in and get her focused on her work. She followed up frequently to make sure our daughter stayed on task. The tutoring was very personal and tailored to address our girl’s specific needs. Scheduling was also easy and at a convenient safe location. We couldn’t have found a better tutor.
We will continue to work with Paulina, her services are impeccable and priceless. Our girls will continue to succeed in their Math classes because we have her help.
Paulina is an excellent tutor! She has been working with my son primarily in math for over a year. (6th and 7th grade.) Paulina is calm during challenging moments, creative in finding different ways to motivate and understanding of different learning styles. Her support has been very valuable to my son. Through my many conversations with Paulina I have come to know her as a mature, kind and very intelligent person. Due to the demand for her being so high, she is not always available, however, I would absolutely trust her judgement when it comes to hiring one of the other tutors she employs in her growing company.
Paulina is fabulous. My daughter needed a Spanish tutor and what a surprise she is also a great math tutor. She is an excellent tutor and most of all relates really well with my daughter. Paulina is reliable, on time and very trustworthy. I highly recommend Paulina and so happy that we have found her.
