Kate
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +53 Subjects
I'm available to tutor biology, chemistry, physics, math from Algebra up through AP Calculus, SAT test prep, and French. I've been tutoring students in science and math for 7 years. I also spent 8 months working and studying in France, and have tutored high school and adult students in French. When I'm not working or studying, I love playing volleyball (indoors or on the beach!) and spending time outside, canoeing or hiking with my dog. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
Jessica
College Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a licensed physician from Florida who is currently changing careers. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and have extensive tutoring and editing experience. While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual standardized testing preparation classes. I have also assisted students with application essays for various undergraduate and graduate programs.
Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.
Erika

I look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Hobbies: reading, cooking, writing, books, music, art, travel
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Charlottesville has 5 school districts serving over 14,000 students across 47 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Albemarle County, City of Charlottesville, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand Virginia's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for SOL preparation because tutors can focus on the exact standards your student needs to master, rather than moving at a whole-class pace. Tutors work with Charlottesville students on test-taking strategies, content gaps, and practice with SOL-style questions—helping them feel confident and prepared for state assessments in subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies.
Charlottesville students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, but math and reading support are consistently in high demand—especially as students transition between grade levels or prepare for standardized testing. We also connect many local students with tutors for science, writing, test prep (SAT/ACT), and subject-specific help like AP courses and foreign languages.
Your student's first session is focused on building rapport and understanding their specific needs. The tutor will ask about academic strengths, challenges, goals, and learning style—and may review recent schoolwork or test scores to identify where support would be most helpful. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan aligned with your student's school curriculum and long-term objectives.
Charlottesville schools maintain a 12.6:1 average student-teacher ratio, which is solid, but even in well-resourced classrooms, individual attention is limited. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to adapt teaching in real-time to your student's pace, ask probing questions, and address misconceptions immediately—something that's difficult in a classroom setting, even with good ratios.
The ideal frequency depends on your student's goals and challenges. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others meet twice a week during test prep or when tackling difficult units. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on your student's needs and progress, and you can adjust as needed—there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes. Many Charlottesville high school students work with tutors on SAT and ACT preparation, and personalized instruction is highly effective for test prep. Tutors help students understand question types, develop strategies, practice under timed conditions, and target weak areas—all tailored to your student's starting level and goals. Whether your student is aiming to improve a specific section or boost their overall score, a tutor can create a focused prep plan.
The process is straightforward: tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor who fits their learning style and goals. You'll have a chance to meet the tutor and discuss expectations before committing, and you can start sessions as soon as you're both ready. Most Charlottesville families are able to connect with a tutor within a few days of reaching out.
