Expert Guidance for every learner
We provide personalized support to help students with learning challenges develop key skills like organization, focus, and self-management.
About us
When we opened our first office in 1986, we adopted the name QWERTY to reflect the prominent role that emerging computer technology would play in our work as we paved new paths to learning. We are eager to explore with you how, once again, we can employ innovation and insight to enhance your child’s education.
We have been a premier provider of professional education services for Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, and surrounding San Francisco Peninsula communities since 1976. Looking for multi-sensory math tutoring, help with writing, study skills support, learning differences and ADHD testing, or expert insight about how your student learns? QWERTY is here to assist.
Since we began offering tutoring in Menlo Park in 1976, our philosophy has been simple yet inspired: Students who develop self-understanding gain self-confidence and make educational progress to achieve their academic goals.

Our team
Our team members are skilled in the essential relationship building that brings out the best in a diverse array of students.
Qualifications
Our staff includes professional tutors and specialists from the fields of learning disabilities, educational psychology and educational therapy. Team Members are skilled at assessing students’ immediate needs, while developing longer-term strategies to improve academic performance and learning.
QWERTY’s Core Service providers are experienced in meeting a diversity of student needs, including the development of techniques to compensate for obstacles to learning.
Collaboration
Students at QWERTY typically work directly with one or two of our staff, but in actuality, the expertise and experiences of several staff members are often brought to bear in working with a student.
As a student’s needs change over time, we rely on collaboration to determine appropriate next steps. This may involve a student working with more than one staff member, or even transitioning the student to a different staff professional.
Communication
Our staff members regularly communicate with parents and in many cases, speak with and work with teachers, counselors and other professionals.
Coordinating between several members of a child’s education team requires sound judgment and communication skills. We are among the most sought after independent educators, so you can be confident that when you engage our services, you are working with a team of experts with unparalleled professionalism.
Testimonials
Biggest problem I had with my daughter was in math. After going to Qwerty, their tutoring greatly improved my daughter’s math grades.
My daughter had a great experience at QWERTY over several years. She was evaluated and initially, her written expression skills were the focus. She had a tendency to write very little, even though she could tell you a great deal about her subject. At QWER
We were very impressed with QWERTY’s services. Our 3rd grade daughter worked with Natalie for over a year, with great results in math, reading and writing. The sessions were always fun and engaging, and she looked forward to them as a highlight of her week.
With the help of QWERTY, my daughter’s performance in AP Stats soared — both in class and on the AP exam. It was very empowering for a kid who never thought she was good at math.
Qwerty provided professional and reliable tutoring in a friendly atmosphere. Our son benefited from the expertise of a knowledgeable tutor for three years of high school. Consistent work with an excellent role model was very helpful. The interaction was extremely positive.”
Our daughter had very low self confidence about her math abilities before seeing Betty Willdorff at QWERTY. Since starting her tutoring sessions, my daughter’s math abilities have gone up noticeably, and doing homework is no longer such a chore. She actually looks forward to her homework sessions with Betty!
Michael was the right fit for tutoring my two high school children in math because he explained and taught the material well and interacted with them on a personal level. They enjoyed working with him and always looked forward to their sessions. I would definitely recommend QWERTY.

We had a good experience with QWERTY. Our now 11 year old daughter needed help with her executive functions and the coach helped her get her backpack and thoughts and study methods organized. She feels much more responsible to finish her homework and the coach also helped with tutoring in various subjects including prepping for projects and tests. Thank you, QWERTY.
