Bishop Alemany is the co-ed archdiocesan high school in Mission Hills, next to the San Fernando Mission — about 800 students, an AP Capstone program and an Honors Institute. I tutor its applicants through the HSPT, and its enrolled students through the year — one-on-one, at your home or online. Every session is with me.
Clear Concepts Tutoring is an independent tutoring practice and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Bishop Alemany High School. I tutor students who attend or are applying to the school.
Different needs, different plans.
Path one · Applying
Alemany gives the HSPT on its own campus on Saturday, January 23, 2027 and also accepts scores taken at another Catholic high school. The priority application deadline is January 22, supporting documents are due January 29, interviews run from January 30, and decisions arrive March 5, 2027 at 5 PM. The score does double duty: a 90th-percentile composite with a 3.5 GPA earns the Principal's Award, and the 75th–89th range with a 3.2 earns the Alemany Honors Award. We start with a full timed diagnostic and aim at the percentile, not just the pass.
Path two · Enrolled
Twenty-two AP classes, AP Capstone and ninety-plus UC-certified courses mean placement decisions matter from ninth grade on. I support enrolled Alemany students with steady weekly sessions across math, the sciences, English and history.
One accountable person with a phone number — not an agency roster. The rhythm below is the same one every family on my calendar gets.
I've worked with LA independent- and neighborhood-school families since 2013. The expectations, the calendars, and the pace are all familiar ground.
Sessions intensify before assessment weeks and ease after. The plan follows your student's actual calendar, not a generic curriculum binder.
I work until 9 PM, in-home across my service area or online — so sessions land after practice or after dinner — not in the middle of a working parent's afternoon.
Same tutor in September and in May, and a written note to you after every single session. You always know where things stand.
Yes — both eighth graders applying to Alemany and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get HSPT prep aimed at the scholarship percentiles; enrolled students get year-round support across the core subjects. Every session is with me, in your home or online.
Alemany administers the HSPT at its Mission Hills campus on Saturday, January 23, 2027, and will also accept HSPT scores taken at another high school.

What I bring is thirteen years of working with families at LA's independent, Catholic and neighborhood schools — as an outside, accountable tutor with a phone number.
