History
South Bay Tutors began as PV Tutor, with just myself, Joseph Tillotson, tutoring math to families in Palos Verdes. This same year I was hired onto the Marymount College Math Faculty. I learned that aside from tutoring I had a knack for picking out highly effective tutors. This combined with some web design knowledge and South Bay Tutors was born. At first it was myself and one other tutor, and now we are about a dozen strong.
Specialties
Founded by former Marymount College Math Faculty Member Joseph Tillotson, South Bay Tutors is an in-home and virtual tutor network for Torrance, Palos Verdes, Redondo & Manhattan Beach, and more. We are each proficient in our subjects and in explanation skills. Our web site has a profile of each tutor, and you may interview them on the phone prior to setting up a lesson if you wish to do so. We cover nearly all subjects for K-12 classes, test prep for SAT and ACT, and many college classes such as calculus, physics, chemistry, Spanish, statistics, English comp, and more. There is no block of lessons required. Our rates vary from 55 to 60 per hour for non-AP classes and 75-85 per hour for AP classes. Our Torrance and Palos Verdes tutors keep over 80 percent of revenue collected; as such we attract the very best tutors from all other companies and agencies and have a very low turnover rate among our tutors.
