ABOUT

Welcome to Price Tutors, where personalized coaching meets proven results.

MEET MICHAEL PRICE

I’m Michael Price, founder and lead tutor at Price Tutors. With over 20 years of experience in test preparation, academic tutoring, and life skills coaching, I’ve helped hundreds of students raise their scores, improve their grades, and gain confidence in their academic journey.

My background is a bit unique—I’m also an independent filmmaker based in Los Angeles, which fuels my creative approach to teaching and problem-solving. I specialize in working with students across a wide range of levels, from young learners just starting out to college students preparing for graduate exams. I take pride in crafting lessons and strategies that fit each student’s pace, style, and goals, ensuring every session is productive and engaging.

philosophy

At Price Tutors, I specialize in working with high-achieving students who are ready to push beyond their current limits. What sets my approach apart is the personalized attention I give to every detail, from the pace and tone to the structure of each session, ensuring that coaching is tailored precisely to your unique learning style and goals. I believe tutoring should feel collaborative and energizing, not one-size-fits-all or formulaic. Together, we’ll identify what drives you, sharpen your focus, and break down ambitious targets into actionable strategies.

Many families come to me after other programs haven’t helped their students reach the highest levels, whether that means cracking the 97th percentile, acing challenging AP courses, or boosting scores to open doors to top-tier colleges. I’m known for delivering results where others fall short, guiding high achievers through the final stretch with precision and care to maximize their potential.

Importantly, I balance academic rigor with the well-being of each student. Success is not just about scores or grades; it’s about building sustainable skills, confidence, and resilience that support both immediate goals and long-term growth.
