Pico Union California is a community bordered by the Olympic Boulevard and Santa Monica Freeway. It is an area rich in history and cultural diversity, and is a historic district in the Los Angeles area. If you’ve been meeting with your Pico Union history tutor then you know that our history is what shapes us, and it is so important to preserve it.
Pico Union as originally a part of El Pueblo de Los Angeles, which was a city founded in 1781. The town didn’t really take off until the 1860’s, when the development of railroad systems brought people by the trainloads to the area. Immigrants from all over the nation came to this spot, and gave rise Pico Union. It began as an area called Westlake District, and began formation in the 1880’s. Comprised mostly of European immigrants with some Mexican-American immigrants as well, the community was a suburbia that sat on the edge of the city, where residents could easily commute to the center of town. As Los Angeles grew, Westlake found itself no longer on the edge of town but in the middle of it, and slowly grew to the inner-city area it is now, full of history and culture. The area was dubbed Pico Union when in 1980 a renewal project was formed to bring the area back its old luster. In those times the area had become a refuge for Salvadoran and Guatemalan immigrants to flee civil war. The area now boasts an impressive population of Central American, Mexican, Cuban, and Korean immigrants. One of the most amazing things about this area, however, is its collection of historical buildings.
South Bonnie Brae Street boasts an impressive collection of homes that all look surprisingly similar. This is because the homes were built at a time when a style called Queen Anne, was quite popular in the area. The oldest building can be found on Westlake Avenue, a home that was originally built in 1880, during a time when most of the area was still undeveloped fields. You can also visit the Angelic Lutheran Church, which was originally founded in 1888. The church has held services in English, Spanish, Korean, and Kanjobal, which is an indigenous language in Mexico and Guatemala. They also served as a Sanctuary in the 1980’s for the Salvadoran and Guatemalan immigrants that had fled to the area. If you meet with you Pico Union tutor I’m sure you will hear more about this period of time.

How does the process work?
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.
How is pricing handled?
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.
How soon can sessions start?
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.
Where do sessions take place?
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.
Are background checks performed?
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.
What subjects and grade levels are available?
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. If it’s taught in school, there’s likely a tutor with relevant experience. Adult learners can also benefit from tutoring services in a wide variety of subjects.
How long is each session, and how often do students meet?
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.

Often, yes! Especially when goals and levels are similar. There’s no additional cost for siblings to share sessions, so feel free share details in your intake so we can advise on the right tutoring package for you.
Do tutors coordinate with teachers or IEP/504 plans?
Yes! When families request it, tutors can review teacher notes, school portals, and accommodation plans to keep sessions aligned with classroom expectations.
