In the southeastern region of Los Angeles County, Hacienda Heights is a primarily residential community with a long history in this part of Southern California. It’s seen a lot of change in the past hundred years, and even more in the past two hundred years. Families that live in Hacienda Heights these days enjoy a high quality of life and easy access to all of Los Angeles’s big city amenities, as Hacienda Heights is not far away from L.A.
After the Spanish explorers came to this part of California and took the land away from local Native American tribes, they began to establish missions in the 1800s. The Spaniards created rancheros to encourage the settlement of this land, and a local ranchero, Ranchero
La Puente, is located where Hacienda Heights is today. This ranchero was eventually purchased and changed hands a number of times, until it was acquired by people who wanted to use the land for agriculture. Thanks to the rich, fertile soil in the San Gabriel Valley, these farmers were very successful, and the area became known for its citrus production, as well as profitable local avocado and walnut orchards, too.
When the Great Depression hit, life changed for people in what is now called Hacienda Heights. At that time, this area was highly rural and agricultural, being comprised mainly of farmland and small ranches. Because of the financial strain of the Great Depression, farmers could no longer pump as much money into keeping their farms healthy in their fight against local pests and diseases. Farms were lost, land was sold, and many housing developments popped up taking the place of these once profitable orchards.
Home to the biggest Buddhist Temple in the country, Hacienda Heights brings in a fair amount of local religious tourism as a result. Hsi Lai Temple is a sight to be seen, with grand architectural features and a striking beauty in contrast to its suburban surroundings. The translation of “Hsi Lai” is “Coming West”, which is symbolic of its location here in Southern California.
When it comes to education, parents are happy with the choices they have for their children here in Hacienda Heights. Hacienda La Puente Unified School District oversees three public high schools, two public middle schools, three public K-8 schools, and eight public elementary schools. Besides the public schools available, there are also several private schools and charter schools to choose from. For any student that may need a little extra after-school help, local Hacienda Heights tutors are available. These local tutors meet one-on-one with local students and help them develop their skills, creating an action plan for educational success.

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.
