Lafayette Academy

Category: Tutoring Service

Your Local Learning Center. ALL of our K-12 services are available online and in Lafayette.

Lafayette Academy is a tutoring service in Lafayette, aimed at students from town and the rest of Lamorinda. Lafayette had 25,313 residents in 2025, per the Census Bureau, and sits in Contra Costa County. The median home here was built in 1960, per the American Community Survey (2024).

The whole idea is local know-how. The company says its tutors already know the coursework at schools like Las Lomas, Miramonte and Acalanes. So the help lines up with what students actually see in class.

Most families come for high school help. The academy describes Shadow Classes that follow specific local courses, plus private tutoring and AP support. It also lists SAT and ACT prep, college counseling and K-8 programs for younger kids.

It's open seven days, with evenings until 9:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Sessions can be weekly or one-time, and you can work with a tutor in person or online. The company states that all in-person sessions happen at its Lafayette center, not at your house.

It holds a 4.6 rating from 31 Google reviews. Reviewers bring up the finals cram sessions over and over, along with tutors who explain things patiently and scheduling that's easy to manage. Several families say their kids came back for years and grew more confident in class. One parent was unhappy with the results for the money spent.

If you've just moved to Lafayette with a teen, a good first move is booking a final exam cram before the semester wraps up. Its website also names free PSAT prep, which is an easy way to try the place out.
