The College Trail has been assisting students in math and science disciplines for 14 years. We serve the Orange County and San Diego County communities.
We Help Students Overcome Common Challenges
Families come to us because we understand the challenges students face:
Test questions that are different from homework questions
Teachers not explaining material in sufficient depth
Corrected tests not returned in a timely manner, if at all.
Our tutors are experts at handling these and other issues in a professional, reliable manner.
If you have a son or daughter in any of the following subjects, please call us today to get started with a math tutor, science tutor, or other educational professional:
We adopt a tailor made, holistic approach to college counseling. Your counselor is dedicated and assigned to you – we do not believe in a committee system. We select our counselors because of their breadth of knowledge at both the high school counseling and college admissions levels. We use a well-known national recruiting firm and screen our counselors intensely. All counselors are accredited members of local and national associations, such as the National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC) and the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA).
While we recommend that you start with us as early as possible, we are able to assist you at any time, even if you are a high school senior with looming application deadlines. Please keep in mind, however, that we are not an essay writing service. While helping to create compelling essays is a component of our services, it is only one facet of our comprehensive programs:

The College Trail prides itself on the quality of our exceptional Academic Coaches. We carefully recruit, interview, screen, and train only the most professional and experienced tutors from leading universities. All have engaging personalities and exhibit a passion and natural talent for teaching. Most importantly, our tutors serve as effective role models for their students. Your student will:
Learn strategies necessary for academic success
Improve study skills and learn test taking strategies

Overcome procrastination
During our one-on-one sessions we focus on concepts and skills. We do our utmost to prepare students for upcoming tests, so if a student is suffering from test anxiety, we are there to help. While sometimes homework does get completed during sessions, we are not homework helpers, and our overall objective is to help the student understand the material.
You can choose to pay by the session or by purchasing discounted bundles of sessions. We tutor all levels and grades from seventh grade onward:
Mathematics: Pre-algebra through AP Calculus BC and Statistics Science: General through AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics History: General through AP United States, AP European, and AP World English: General writing, general reading, through AP Language and AP Literature Foreign Languages: All levels AP Spanish, AP French, AP German, AP Italian, AP Latin
