What We Do

More Than Tutoring

Subject Tutoring Most Popular

One-on-one tutoring in math, science, English, humanities, and more. We focus on deep conceptual understanding, not just getting through tonight's homework. This is our core service and where most families start.

Test Preparation

SAT, ACT, and AP prep built on high-leverage strategy, targeted practice, and real score improvement.

Study Skills & Coaching

Active recall, time management, focus, and test-taking habits. The skills that make every other subject easier.

College Counseling

Course planning, extracurricular strategy, profile building, and essays. Long-term admissions support.

Enrichment Classes

Group enrichment in makers, music, sports, and Spanish for younger students. Hands-on and high-energy.

Diverse Learners

Specialized support for students with learning differences. Adapted strategies, real progress, no stigma.

You were very good at breaking down my problems and going over them with me step by step making sure I got the hang of it. You helped me out so much during the whole year. Honestly if it wasn't for you, I would have been stuck in summer school.

Why Families Choose Plato+

The Difference

In-Person, Online, or Hybrid

In-person tutoring across the Bay Area, online sessions for families anywhere in the world, or a hybrid of both.

Interdisciplinary Approach

We connect subjects so knowledge transfers. Science to math, writing to reasoning, strategy to execution.

Long-Term Strategy

Not session-by-session. We plan semesters and years ahead: courses, projects, applications, profile.

Results Without Burnout

Genuine improvement and confident performance without the high-pressure grind that breaks students down.

Aidan has been an incredible tutor for my 7th-grade son, providing support in math, science, ELA, and even interview preparation for private school admissions. He is highly professional, reliable, and has a remarkable ability to connect with my son, making each session engaging and productive. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective tutor!

You were a great Biology teacher, and always made it so the projects we did were fun, interesting, and diverse. You even went above and beyond to teach us lessons and skills that we could use outside of Biology. You were also a great mentor who helped out everyone you could. Thank you, for being a phenomenal teacher and a role-modeling mentor.
