Claremont Tutors from the five Claremont Colleges
Personalized tutoring with students at California's premier liberal arts colleges: Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer
The Shires Tutoring Company brings together exceptional students and graduates from the five Claremont Colleges—Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, and Pitzer—to provide personalized academic coaching throughout Southern California's Inland Empire. Our tutors excel in supporting students across all subject areas, from advanced mathematics and science coursework to humanities essays, standardized testing, and navigating college admissions. We also match families with dedicated mentors in athletics and the arts who share their passion and expertise. Each session balances challenging academic work with encouragement and practical strategies that help students gain both knowledge and self-assurance. We serve Claremont, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, La Verne, San Dimas, and neighboring communities.
You can meet some of these exceptional tutors below. This is not the full list of tutors from this college town, and if you need a tutor who teaches specific subjects not offered by any of our current tutors at that college, whether listed here or not, then we will work to find a new tutor for you at the college, using our extensive tutor network and contacts.

Hello! My name is Miranda, and I am a freshman at Pomona College. As someone who has been dancing my whole life, I understand the value of finding balance between academics, athletics, and art. That’s why I will be tutoring both ballet and high school subjects. For ballet, I have taught group and one-on-one lessons for over three years. My primary focus for teaching was beginner-level ballet, but I also have experience with higher-level ballet because I danced competitively in grades K-12. I would love to teach students ages 5-12 with any level of experience! For academics, I have over two years of experience tutoring. I am able to tutor high schoolers in the subjects of Chemistry (AP or regular), Biology (AP or regular), and Spanish (Level 1-4). While my major is currently undecided, I have a love for science and am currently taking chemistry courses. My history of learning Spanish through my Elementary school's Dual Language Program and then continuing to take Spanish classes throughout middle and high school makes me uniquely suited to help with both grammatical and conversational skills. I am excited to continue supporting students' academic and personal growth!

Hi! I’m a double major in Economics and Mathematics at Pomona College, on track to graduate in May 2029. I have placed highly at both the state and national level in economics and personal finance competitions and have conducted independent research at the intersection of economics and public policy under PhD mentorship demonstrating my interest within economics. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including math (from elementary through calculus 2), economics, test preparation (ACT/SAT), chess, piano/music theory, english (AP Lang and AP Lit), and more. Beyond academics, I bring extensive teaching and mentoring experience from competitive chess and music. I am ranked in the top 2% of U.S. junior chess players, have competed internationally, and currently teach students from beginner to advanced levels. I am also a classically trained pianist with over a decade of experience, including performances at Carnegie Hall and international competitions, and have taught dozens of students in both individual and group settings. Across all of these experiences, my goal as a tutor is to adapt to my students’ needs and help them grow both in their respective subjects but also in their way of thinking. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! My name is Luci and I’m a freshman at Harvey Mudd College, looking to major in Engineering or a Mathematics and Biology double major. During my junior and senior years of high school, I worked as a private tutor for students ages 12-16. I was primarily focused on mathematics but also assisted with reading, writing, history, and science coursework. I also provided PSAT, SAT, and ACT preparation for four students, helping them to build test-taking skills and general subject knowledge. I especially loved getting to know each individual student and learning what worked for them. In addition to private tutoring, I worked as a Teacher’s Assistant at Kumon, an after-school program where I worked with students ages 3 and up to 12th grade in reading and math through Calculus. Through this experience, I discovered that I enjoyed teaching and working with children. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy staying active–I recently joined club rugby and have played soccer for years–as well as doing arts and crafts, and reading. I enjoy helping my students not only grow academically, but also in confidence, and I am excited to continue teaching throughout my time at Mudd.
