Loyola High School is an all-male Jesuit Catholic high school and one of the oldest schools in Los Angeles. I tutor its applicants through the entrance exam, 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 Loyola High School. I tutor students who attend or are applying to the school.
Different needs, different plans.
Path one · Applying
Catholic high schools place applicants with the HSPT: one eighth-grade sitting that can also carry scholarship and honors-placement weight. We prepare like there's one shot, because there is.
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 students applying to Loyola High School and students already enrolled there.
Applicants get test prep aimed at their school list; enrolled students get steady year-round support across the core subjects. Either way, every session is with me.
Loyola, like LA's other Catholic high schools, places its applicants with the HSPT — taken once in eighth grade.
It can carry scholarship and honors-placement weight too, which makes that one morning worth preparing for properly. My HSPT page covers exactly how.

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