Palos Verdes High School Tutoring
Attention Palos Verdes High Sea Kings! Are Mr. Broughton’s math problems making your head hurt? Confused on how to tackle Mr. Whitmer’s assignment? No worries, just pop into Study Hut, your neighborhood school assistant center. Come in and get help from people familiar with your school’s curriculum and your teacher’s expectations. Many of our tutors went to your school, and some even had your particular teacher, so they are prepared and eager to help you ace every test they throw at you.
Transitioning to a high-school-paced environment can be tricky. We understand that bad grades don’t mean you are dumb, lazy, or a bad student. Teachers’ faster lesson plans can catch you off guard which makes you fall behind. Going home with hours and hours of homework not only takes getting used to, it takes a greater sense of organization which you may not have practice with. Most of all, the deeper level of thought that is demanded by teachers is nothing that is obtained in your sleep, but requires a little instruction that you may not be getting in the classroom. We are well aware of these very common problems, and can work with you to hone your study skills.
While study skills are imperative to excelling in high school, what’s even more important are three things that that go above and beyond just doing what is asked of you: Practice, practice, PRACTICE! When you come to study hut, we will not only get your general skills sharp, we will analyze and focus on the subjects and lessons that give you the most trouble. We won’t just help you with homework; we will create extra practice that you do with us until you can do it in your sleep. Sometimes the way a teacher explains something does not quite hit home with you; our job is to cater the lesson to your individual understanding so that it CLICKS.
So come into Study Hut and surround yourself with scholastic role models who will structure lessons and skills to fit your individual personality.

Many students entering high school aren’t used to the accelerated lesson plans that teachers may throw at them, especially in biology and honors biology courses. It is important that students stay on top of their assignments and up to date on the readings. Here at the Study Hut, we won’t just help students with their homework, sorry kids. We strive to make sure that the student gains an understanding of the concepts involved and can apply that knowledge to other problems that may not be so straight forward. Learning to think outside of the box is an important skill that can be a very helpful tutor when taking standardized tests like the SAT, SAT II, and ACT. The tutors at Study Hut have been there and done that, believe us. We have tutors that have done the whole deal with biology and chemistry. Honors and AP bio and chem classes in high school and all the way through college earning their bachelor’s in biology and chemistry and are seeking to further their education by going to graduate school and medical school. Our tutors are experienced.
Our tutors were not just naturally gifted. They were once in the same, possibly clueless place as every other student has been. However, with their strong work ethic, which they help instill in their students today, they have learned the best and most efficient ways at studying difficult science classes. Students can come to the study hut with questions and the tutors will teach strategies on how to reach answers to what can be very frustrating and difficult questions. Whether it is memorization of vocabulary in biology, or understanding intermolecular forces in chemistry, the tutors at Study Hut know their stuff and will break down difficult concepts into simple, understandable ideas. Remember, our tutors have all dealt with difficult teachers, and they will be able to simplify the most difficult challenges that a student may be presented with.
