Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am very excited to have the chance to work with students preparing for the PSAT, the SAT, or the LSAT! While I'm originally from Connecticut, I attended college and law school in Buffalo, New York. While there, I worked for a test prep agency helping students prepare for the SAT and the LSAT. In 2003, I moved to Richmond. I worked with the Virginia Department of Taxation for 7 years doing policy work and assisting with the legislative process. In 2011, I began working for Bryant and Stratton College, where I taught students in the Paralegal Studies program. I loved helping my students prepare for new careers. I can't wait to work with you and help you succeed as well!
Kyle
AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am currently preparing to begin a Master's of Teaching program at VCU this fall and have continued to excel in the math and history courses I need to round out my teaching endorsements. Because my future career path focuses on teaching at the high school level, I have a preference for tutoring math (especially algebra through calculus) and history, along with writing and my current subject of philosophy. Besides my career motivations, I find that I stand out the most as a tutor in these areas because of my capability in clearly presenting complex material and my ability to grasp the diverse perspectives of my students. Hobbies: sports, reading, writing, books, music, art

Austin

I am often asked by friends to help them with their math homework. I have spent countless hours teaching calculus to engineering, computer science, physics, and economics majors. Being one of seven children, I have been helping my sibling with math for as long as I can remember. I believe that a solid understanding of mathematics is crucial to success, and the demand for people with quantitative skills is only growing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Norfolk's 79 schools and 4 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Norfolk Public Schools, charter schools, or private institutions, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Tutors working with Norfolk students are familiar with Virginia's SOL requirements and design personalized instruction around the specific standards your student needs to master. This targeted approach helps students build the foundational skills tested on SOL exams while deepening their understanding of core subjects like math, English, science, and social studies.
Norfolk students commonly seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for SOL exams and the SAT/ACT. We also support students in advanced subjects like AP courses, foreign languages, and specialized test prep to help them stay competitive academically.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for an exam, or getting ahead in their coursework.
With Norfolk's average student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their individual learning style and pace. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing dedicated time for your student to ask questions, work through difficult concepts, and receive immediate feedback—something that's harder to get in a classroom setting.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find options that fit their budget. To get started, you'll connect with our team to discuss your student's needs, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor in Norfolk who's the right fit. Most families schedule an initial session within days of connecting.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are experienced educators and subject matter experts who understand Virginia's curriculum standards and have a track record of helping students succeed. Each tutor is vetted for expertise in their subject area and ability to work effectively with students at various levels, from struggling learners to advanced students.
Many Norfolk students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the student's starting point and how frequently they meet with their tutor. The key is regular, focused sessions combined with practice between meetings—personalized instruction works best when it's sustained and reinforced over time.
