Welcome to Downtown Los Altos
The tree lined streets of Downtown Los Altos, lush with green in summer and verdant colors in fall, evoke the quaint, village atmosphere of small-town America. Nowhere else can you find a hardware store, costume shop, and two grocery stores just short stroll from unique cafes, boutiques and salons
Within the six-block downtown triangle you will discover more than 150 shops offering just about everything from A to Z. Grab a quick bite or enjoy fine dining, make a deposit, grab a special gift, get your eyes or teeth checked, or have your clothes cleaned and tailored. All this and more with free, convenient parking on street and in the plazas.
Shop. Dine. Explore. Discover. Downtown Los Altos.

When did your business open?
Green Ivy Educational Consulting opened in Los Altos in 2001, and we moved to our current location on the corner of Main St. and Second St. (on the second floor above the U.S. Bank) in 2007. Our founder, Ana Homayoun, grew up in Los Altos (and attended Egan Jr. High and St. Francis High School). We love the fact that our office is in one of Los Altos’ historic buildings and was originally a schoolhouse.
What was one of your favorite experiences with a client?
There are so many! But, one of the most memorable was a student racing into my office – she had driven from her home – and running into my back office to let me know she had gotten into her first choice college – University of Notre Dame in Indiana. Her genuine excitement and enthusiasm was such a great memory, and she had an amazing college experience there (and returned to work at her alma mater years later).
Over the years, we’ve worked with some of the same families for more than a decade – each of their children has worked with us, and we’ve seen the youngest start with us in middle school and now know what they are doing post-college and graduate school. It is that community continuity that I love most.
What awesome service or product are you known for in Los Altos?
We are known for helping middle school and high school students with organization, time-management and overall wellness. Our work is focused and customized to the individual needs of each student, and we’ve designed our work and philosophy to encourage students to explore their unique strengths, talents, and abilities.
We provide help with subject work, study skills, test preparation (including ISEE/HPST/SSAT and ACT/SAT) and we also have a well-honed process to help students with their college applications.
