Carpenter Community Charter is Studio City's sought-after public charter elementary school. I tutor its students through elementary school, and prepare the ones aiming for independent middle schools — one-on-one, at your home or online. Every session is with me.

Elementary reading and math support that keeps school feeling good — and quietly builds the graphing, units and writing habits everything later assumes.
One accountable person with a phone number — not an agency roster. The rhythm below is the same one every family on my calendar gets.
I've worked with LA independent- and neighborhood-school families since 2015 — the expectations, the calendars and the pace are familiar ground.
Sessions intensify before assessment weeks and ease after. The plan follows your student's actual calendar, not a generic curriculum binder.
I work until 9 PM, in-home across my service area or online — so sessions land after practice or after dinner, not mid-afternoon.
Same tutor in September and in May, and a written note to you after every single session. You always know where things stand.
If yours isn't here, call me — the consultation is free and I answer my own phone.
Yes — both students applying to Carpenter Community Charter and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get test prep aimed at their school list; enrolled students get steady year-round support across the core subjects. Either way, every session is with me.
No — it's a public charter elementary, so there's no test to get in.
The testing question arrives later: families aiming for independent middle schools face the ISEE or SSAT, and the runway for that starts earlier than most people expect.

What I bring is thirteen years of working with families at LA's independent and neighborhood schools — as an outside, accountable tutor with a phone number.
