Located within the famous Silicon Valley of California, Foster City is a medium sized community in northern California with a lot to offer. Families love living here for a number of reasons, one being that the city is considered to be one of the safest cities in the entire nation, making it ideal for raising children. Young professionals love living here because they are near the hub of some of the world’s biggest technology companies. Foster City is a great place to plant roots and thrive, with many beautiful California cities and sights just a stones throw away.
Foster City doesn’t have the longest history, with its beginnings back in the middle of the 1900s. A city within the Bay Area of San Francisco, Foster City was built and planned on top of a landfill outside of the San Francisco city limits. Named after a man by the name of T. Jack Foster, Foster City answered the demand of this time period — the Bay Area was experiencing a bit of a population explosion, and people needed more places to live.
Foster City has a lot to offer when it comes to local recreational activities. With two dozen parks located throughout the city, there is always something fun to do just minutes away. Trails throughout the city are popular among bike riders and rollerbladers, and it makes Foster City a really great place for those with an active lifestyle. If you’re a fan of windsurfing, Foster City is the place for you. Foster City is known for being a very high quality location for windsurfing and kite-surfing. Other amenities offered by Foster City include a golf course, a teen center, an amphitheater, and a popular community theatre. Foster City has something for everyone, from great physical activities to involvement in the arts.
When it comes to education, Foster City has a diverse set of options for students that live here. In the local public elementary school district, there are four high quality schools for parents to choose form here in Foster City. One public middle school, Nathaniel Bowditch Middle School, serves all of Foster City, and a number of private and charter schools are available for elementary and middle school kids that live here. Within the local public high school district, there are a few great high school options for Foster City kids. A number of local schools in Foster City have received California Distinguished School Awards, and this is a big draw for parents looking for a good place to raise their children.

Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
Typically within 2-3 business days, depending on subject, location, and schedule availability. Urgent timelines are noted in your profile so introductions prioritize your timing.
In-person at home or another convenient, quiet, safe location (like the local library). When families need flexibility, online sessions are also available.
Experienced, professional independent tutors with strong subject knowledge and a track record of working one-on-one with students. Many hold degrees in their fields; some are certified teachers or graduate students with specialized expertise.
Yes—safety is our top priority. Tutors complete screening through Simpliverified background checks, consistent with local requirements and platform standards.
Just let Grade Potential know. Your profile can be introduced to a different tutor at no cost to you, and once accepted, you’ll be re-introduced so sessions continue without losing momentum.
Support spans elementary through college across all core subjects (math, reading, writing, science, languages) plus test prep (e.g., SAT/ACT, AP, GRE) and many electives.

Most families choose 60-90 minute sessions 1-2 times per week. Cadence and length are set directly with the tutor to fit the student’s goals, pace, and schedule.
