One of the very oldest cities in San Diego County, National City is a small city in Southern California with a rich history. With noticeable growth in early 2000s, National City continues to expand and grow, with happy residents and thriving businesses. Thanks to its close proximity to San Diego and its location within the metropolitan area of San Diego, National City is a great place to live if you need to commute to the big city, and many people do just that. With a high quality of life, National City has a lot to offer.
Long before Spanish settlers came to this region, the native people of this land were the Diegueno tribe, who have also been called the Kumeyaay. Spanish explorers came and took over in the mid 1700s, and then Mexico gained independence from Spain in the early 1800s. Of course, eventually this part of California was added to the territory won by the United States, but the early Native American and Spanish influences can still be seen today. Those who live here celebrate their unique cultural heritage.
Tourism is a huge industry in National City, as many people come to this region of California on vacation. Who could argue with the moderate climate and mild winter months of National City? Those that live here brag that you can wear shorts year-round.
When it comes to places to visit in National City, there are so many iconic spots worth seeing. Of course, the National City Mile of Cars is historic, as it is a mile long strip of road that is lined with car dealerships and palm trees, making National City one of the first cities in the United States to have an auto mall. If you’re looking for good cuisine, you should definitely eat at Café La Maze, known to be a “must eat” place in National City. For dessert, cruise on over to Niederfrank’s Ice Cream shop, which has been in business since the 1940s. If historic architecture peeks your interest, check out Brick Row on Heritage Square. Executives of the Santa Fe Railroad lived in these grand mansions, and they are beautiful to behold.
With a number of public elementary schools, two public middle schools, and one public high school, National City residents also have access to a number of charter schools and private schools. Students that need extra one-on-one help in problem areas can consult with local National City tutors. These tutors can provide help in a wide range of subjects, helping each student reach their individual 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.
