Burke Tutoring sends tutors to homes across Union City — Decoto, Alvarado, Old Alvarado, and the neighborhoods around James Logan. We also meet families at the Union City branch of the Alameda County Library and nearby coffee shops when that works better.
Most students in Union City learn within the New Haven Unified School District, so our tutors are familiar with the district’s course sequence, commonly used materials, and the assignments students bring to tutoring.
Elementary arithmetic through Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, and AP Calculus. We work from your child's actual homework and last returned test to create a custom curriculum.
Reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and essays. For older students we coach the full drafting process — thesis, evidence, revision — rather than editing a finished paper the night before it's due.
Middle school science through AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics. Lab reports, problem sets, exam prep, and practice sets built from released AP questions.
You're inviting someone into your home, so here's who our Union City families work with most.
Math
Jack recently completed his M.S. in Mathematics at CSU East Bay. He has tutored middle school, high school, and college students for more than five years across algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, and he taught classes at his college while helping revise the curriculum.
English & writing
Kimani holds a degree in English creative writing and a master's in English Composition. He has taught at San Francisco State University, CSU East Bay, Santa Clara University, and Menlo College, and works with readers and writers at every level from elementary through college-bound.
Every Burke Tutoring tutor passes a background check, has at least three years of tutoring experience, and clears our in-house subject proficiency test before meeting a student. Burke Tutoring is run by Berke Sahbazoglu — 6,000+ tutoring hours, 200+ students, 10+ years teaching Algebra I and II, BA in Biochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis and M.S. in Bioinformatics from UMGC.
Union City students attend New Haven Unified School District, which runs ten neighborhood schools plus two alternative programs across Union City and south Hayward. We support students at all of them.
Both middle schools feed into James Logan, so we line sixth- through eighth-grade math up with the Integrated Math sequence students hit in ninth.
James Logan is the district's only comprehensive high school. New Haven Academy and Conley-Caraballo are alternative programs open by application.
A tutor comes to you, reviews recent quizzes, homework, and tests, talks with you about what's going wrong, and tells you honestly where your child stands and which subjects to prioritize.
One-on-one at your kitchen table, or at a library or coffee shop in Union City if you'd rather. Evenings and weekends. Your child keeps the same tutor.
After each session you get a written note: what was covered, what stuck, what didn't, and what to watch for on the next test.
We live in Union city, My son in 4th grade, his school teacher mentioned he really need help in all modules and he is kind a behind. I did my best helping my son but later i realized i need an expert. So i reached out to so many tuition centers. Paid to each center, for eg 1 hr payments, 2 hrs payment. Couple tutors came home but i was not impressed. After doing lot of search i found Burke tutoring. After the FIRST class , the tutor explained me all the weak points in my son needs to work on. Me and my husband really liked this center and moved forward to book the whole package . Another thing , my son really like his this teacher, am happy to see his bond with his teacher, cuz he takes longer to mix up. So Its been a month my son getting 1:1 tuition classes from Bruke tutoring. I can already see the improvement in my son. He starts doing his homework byself( before i had to remind him 100 time to get the books and do homework). His handwriting getting better. Spelling also getting improve. In short , am so happy to seeing my son doing efforts to learn and getting ready for his 5th grade. Now am waiting for the day , when his school will tell me now my son meeting the standards . Thank you Burke tutoringNavi Chhina, Union City, CA
In person, at your home. Our tutors drive to families throughout Union City, including Decoto, Alvarado, and the areas around James Logan and Kitayama. If home isn't convenient, we regularly meet students at the Union City library or a nearby coffee shop.
Rates depend on subject, session length, and whether it's one-on-one or a small group. We sell monthly packages and discount them when families book more hours per month. Call or text (510) 453-0350 and we'll quote your situation in a few minutes — the consultation is free.
Because it's real work, not a sales call. The tutor reads through your child's graded quizzes, homework, and tests, sits down with you, and gives you a straight read on the current proficiency level and what to focus on. You get that assessment whether or not you book ongoing sessions.
Yes. Integrated Math I, II, and III are the most common requests we get from Union City families, along with AP Calculus. We work from the assignments your child is actually being graded on.
Yes — AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and AP English. Tutors working AP subjects have either taken the coursework themselves or taught at that level.
Usually within a week, depending on tutor availability for your subject and time slot. Text us and we'll tell you honestly what's open.
Free consultation and quote. No commute — we come to you.
