Experience. Excellence. Results.
Setting the Standard in Private Test Prep and Academic Tutoring
Why Choose Us?
What makes us unique is the superior quality of customer service you get with a small company, but with services that only the big companies offer.
Veteran Tutors
Our tutors are some of the very best in LA, all trained, highly qualified professionals, holding Masters degrees or having achieved undergraduate degrees from one of the top schools in the country. Collectively, our tutors have 55 years of tutoring experience - our least experienced tutor has been tutoring for 10 years! It is a rare thing to find one company that has the years of experience behind EVERY SINGLE TUTOR!
Personalized Programs
We do not believe in one size fits all! We teach students general concepts and strategies, but we also know how to adjust those strategies when they aren't working for the student. A tutor needs to have the insight to be able to diagnose what the students are missing and to supplement them with the right tools to make them successful. Our group has this task mastered.
In-Home Sessions
Our tutors travel to you! While most of our students are located on the Westside, we also work with students in other parts of Los Angeles, the Valley, and the South Bay.
Proven Track Record
Over 95% of our business are families referred to us by friends, counselors, and other educators. This is a testament to the high-level quality of service we provide. Our clients trust us and believe in our work.
About Badoyen Tutoring
Badoyen Tutoring is a boutique academic tutoring and test prep company, primarily working one-on-one with students in the Los Angeles area, but also online with students in other parts of the world. We work with students attending many private and public schools throughout Los Angeles -- Crossroads, Brentwood School, Harvard-Westlake, Campbell Hall, Milken, Palisades Charter School, and New West Charter School, to name a few.
The founder of Badoyen Tutoring, Kristi Badoyen, has a Master's in Business Administration from Pepperdine University and a Juris Doctorate from Southwestern University in Los Angeles. Unfulfilled with the practice of law, Kristi sought out what she enjoyed doing most. She had been tutoring throughout business school and law school, and was still doing so even when she was practicing law, so she decided to leave her law practice and open her own tutoring company. She swears it is the best decision she's ever made in her life.
Kristi continues to tutor students today because it is her passion. She thoroughly enjoys helping her students, and is just as excited as they are when achieve their goals. When she is not tutoring, she practices yoga and enjoys spending time with her French bulldog, Mochi.
Our Services
All of our tutoring services are provided through private one-on-one tutoring. We strongly believe that it is the most effective environment students learn in.

Testimonials
Kristi is quite a unique individual! She demonstrates an incredible professional attitude and demeanor, is knowledgeable in her subject matter, and makes the content accessible to her students. She relates very well to her students. She makes every effort to support her students and extends herself outside of the scheduled tutoring appointment time. She is truly a gifted instructor. We love her!
Elise L.Parent
Kristi has been an invaluable resource for my girls for years. She has inspired them to work hard and do their best and through their success has inspired the love of learning. Kristi's personable qualities and high standards are what made my girls look forward to their sessions. As a parent, I am grateful to have access to an educator that cares and is effective on this level.
Lidija W.Parent
Our two daughters have been tutored by Badoyen Tutoring. It has been really important for us to have a female math teacher as a role model for them. She communicates the concepts in a way that the students will understand. Both of my girls did well in math because of her and both of them actually loved math because of her. It brings a little peace of mind to parents! I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Mayumi P.Parent
We have used Kristi for two of our children and she really helped them both with getting their math scores way up. Badoyen Tutoring also tutored our son for the Verbal sections of the ACT and SAT. He ended up doing much better than we even expected! We have recommended Kristi to several friends and everyone loves her. We highly recommend Badoyen Tutoring.
Meg F.Parent
One of the best investments we ever made for our three children. All of their scores increased dramatically and were accepted at their top school choice. All had very different learning styles and were taught to find the best methods that unlocked their potential. Most importantly, they enjoyed their time working with their tutors who with their firm yet encouraging styles allowed my kids to soar.
Linda K.Parent
We have had both of our daughters work with Badoyen Tutoring. Kristi Badoyen is amazing. She is very organized and created detailed curriculum for each girl. She really understands the way teenagers' minds work. Both girls improved their scores significantly. Now that both of our girls are either in college or college bound, we continue to recommend Badoyen Tutoring.
