The small city of Millbrae is located within the San Francisco Bay Area. This largely residential city is a prime location for those who need to commute within the Bay Area for work, as it has a charming, small town feel. Families that live here love it, as the quality of living is high and the community is tight-knit, and it doesn’t hurt that the education system here provides several great options for local students. Millbrae has something for everyone.
The origin story of Millbrae is an interesting one. First off, the name comes from the city’s original landowner, Mr. Darius Mills, who owned this land privately before there was any city. The last part of the city’s name, “brae”, is of Scottish origin and translates to mean something along the lines of “hilly”. Before it was “Millbrae”, Mr. Mills owned this huge plot of land and on it a grand estate. Sadly, the entire, grand estate was burned to the ground one day when Mr. Mills was performing a fire drill, ironically. Millbrae soon turned into a developing community as pieces of the property were sold to different developers and contractors who had interest in the land.
An interesting local historical site, the Sixteen Mile House, is a look back in time to Millbrae’s early days. This house was a rest stop for travelers back in the late 1800s, and was protected from complete demolition and moved to a new location in the city. Now it serves as a local tavern and attracts plenty of “regulars” and local cliental who will say that this building is very important to the town’s history.
Golf lovers will be happy to know that Millbrae is home to a world-class golf course, the Green Hills Country Club. Not only is the golf course popular among local golf enthusiasts, it brings in a fair amount of local tourism from surrounding San Francisco Bay Area cities. Nature lovers will be happy to know that because of the golf course, many local species of wildlife have come back to living in the city, as the golf course and country club provide a large natural preserve-like area.
When it comes to education, Millbrae is served by the Millbrae School District, and is known for being home to the very best, most high quality schools in the entire San Francisco Bay Area. This claim to fame draws many families to move here, as it provides a close proximity to San Francisco for commuting parents while providing a very high quality education to children. For any students that may need extra help after school, local Millbrae tutors are available. These local tutors can help each student work toward reaching their educational goals.

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.

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.
