Award-Winning Tutors from University of Virginia-Main Campus

Welcome potential clients! I am a 19 year old student taking a year off from college to explore opportunities in the intersection between art and cognitive studies. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, but traveled from Charlottesville, Virginia where I was studying Cognitive Science and Studio Art at University of Virginia. I am patient, flexible, and love working with students in different subjects, but especially math. I prefer to cater the way I teach a student based on how they learn, whether it be by visuals, repetition, etc. I create methods that are out of the box if a student struggles with the way she/he are learning in school since school tends to teach in a uniform method rather than on an individualized basis.

I am a J.D. with significant experience in writing and editing. I have assisted tutees and other writers with crafting cogent arguments, structuring organized essays, and polishing drafts for style and tone. I'm particularly interested in writing tutoring and law school subject tutoring. My approach is collaborative and always positive-minded!

A graduate of Harvard University and the University of Virginia, I am a certified foreign language teacher with twenty years of experience teaching Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English.I specialize in Spanish 1, 2, and 3 and helping students navigate the college application process and helping them edit and polish their application essays.

Hello! My name is a Kiro and I'm a PoliSci and History major at the University of Virginia! I can't wait to work with you!

Having tutored, coached, and taught in both a middle and high school, my goal is to help students achieve at all levels. I have a strong understanding of how to work with students of all ages, and I enjoy making connections with young people. I believe my education and experiences boosted my skills in working with students and allow me to have successful interactions with students both inside and outside the classroom. I enjoy working with students of all ages and look forward to getting to know and help students as much as possible!

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia, where I double majored in Psychology and Cognitive Science. More recently, I received my M.S. in Criminal Justice from the Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University. During my time at VCU, I had the privilege of serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, which allowed me the opportunity to teach undergraduate courses. Among my responsibilities as a TA, my favorite tasks involved my ability to work one-on-one with students and see them improve their grades over the course of the semester with my help. These days I am most interested in improving the critical thinking and critical writing skills of students who will comprise the next generation of college graduates and working professionals. The ability to express oneself clearly through writing is an invaluable skill both within academia and the professional workforce. I believe it is my job to provide students with the necessary preparation and skills they will need to succeed in a college environment and beyond. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction (with a special soft spot for sci-fi/fantasy), running and training for my next marathon, and experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen.

Hello! I am a graduate of the University of Virginia and came to Houston three years ago to teach. I have been a classroom teacher for the past three years and want to bring my passion for teaching outside the school. I've worked with first grade in HISD and at KIPP, but enjoy working with students of all ages and have experience tutoring both middle and high school students as well. My teaching experience helps me to personalize instruction, pinpointing a student's needs and helping to push them to the next level. I have tutored in college and loved the 1-on-1 interaction with students.In my free time, I enjoy running, yoga, spending time with friends and enjoying new restaurants in Houston. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a student at the University of Virginia majoring in Commerce. I have a passion for statistics, mathematics, and teaching others.

Hi, my name is Tatevik and I am a 2017 (B.S.) grad from the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I currently work in consulting in DC and am passionate about STEM, data analytics, and management consulting. I enjoy spending time with my family and dog in my free time, playing tennis, and doing yoga.

I first became a tutor in 2007 when I accepted a position as an SAT prep instructor. I quickly found that I enjoyed working with students to help them meet their goals and ease their anxieties surrounding college admissions testing. After doing SAT prep tutoring for several years, I became a high school math teacher in the Houston area. Although this type of teaching required an expanded skill set on my part, I thoroughly relished the challenge and am grateful for the opportunity to have impacted so many young lives.Currently, I am pursuing a graduate degree in mathematics from the University of Houston, but I still have the urge to teach and help students as often as I can. I look forward to using this platform to continue to educate and change lives.

I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Virginia working towards a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering. The subjects that I tutor are Math, English, and Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, reading, technology and computer science, and more! In my spare time, I enjoy reading novels, playing my flute and piano, and volunteering in my community and school. Education and learning is very important to me and I like to make learning as fun as possible!

I am a two-time graduate of the University of Virginia. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics in May 2021 and recently completed my Master's of Science in Business with a concentration in Finance in June 2022. In my time as an undergraduate and graduate student at UVA, I had the opportunity to study abroad in London, Barcelona, and Copenhagen. These unique experiences familiarized me with working and learning in diverse environments and developed the holistic approach I now bring to problem-solving. Since graduation, I have moved to New York City and will soon start as a Financial Analyst at a top international law firm. In my free time, I feel enthusiastic about giving back what I've learned to help students advance their skills and gain confidence in their ability to perform in a variety of subjects. From assisting my little brother with his Math homework to guiding my classmates through a difficult assignment, I have experience working with students of all ages and skill levels and am committed to helping them achieve their full potential. I can tutor a broad range of subjects, however, I am most passionate about Economics, Math, and Standardized Testing. As someone who went through tutoring for Standardized Testing myself, I know just how stressful and frustrating the process can be at times. I hope to use a fun and patient approach to sharing the techniques I learned so I can help alleviate some of the anxiety surrounding Standardized Testing. I am a strong believer that education can help students find success in any subject they are struggling with and I look forward to working with you.

I am currently working towards my degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. I've enjoyed mentorship and tutoring since my 9th-grade summer where I was a tutor and counselor at an annual summer camp. Since then, I have had the opportunity to mentor and help those who come from low-income backgrounds to achieve their educational goals through clubs in my high school and even in my family where my sister has been diagnosed with slight autism.I tutor biology and up to college-level calculus. I love both of these subjects because it's amazing to learn biological functions and just appreciate them when you can actually identify them in your daily life. Math is just fun, I love it! I plan to use both of these interests to eventually develop low-cost, high-performance prosthetics to ensure equal opportunities for many others.I enjoying getting to know my students and typically teach by going through assignments/tests with them to learn and reinforce concepts.Outside of academia, I love computers, anime, running, reading, videogames, and just having fun.I believe that learning never ends and it's one of the many joys of this life.

I LOVE teaching and enjoy working with children. My sessions are full of energy and actively engage the students in learning. I am a former classroom teacher and have had 2 years experience teaching English online. I am the proud Mom of 2 wonderful sons and grandmother to 3 beautiful granddaughters.

Hello! My name is Anushey and I have a degree in English from UVA. I have experience tutoring folks of all ages, and can help with anything reading or writing. I look forward to chatting and working towards your goals!

I believe that teaching and learning can be done in different ways. It really depends on the student’s style of learning. Therefore, I try to make sure that I can provide my student with a variety of resources such as online notes, videos, or creative analogies to help explain any topic. It is imperative to understand the different learning methods and teach the student in their optimal style.I have had numerous tutoring experiences throughout my life. My biggest experience has been being an older sister. Throughout our lives, one of my priorities is to make sure that she has all the resources that she needs. I’ve gone through her classes before, so I’ve always tried to help her with her homework or help her prepare for an exam whether it be during middle school or now in college. Even now when I am in graduate school and she is in undergraduate college, we have regular online sessions where I explain her the concepts as best as possible.Also at UVA, I was a personal one-on-one tutor for a few students for Organic Chemistry. This was a very difficult class for many students because it sometimes can become almost learning a new language. However, the goal for me was to make organic chemistry so easy to understand that it doesn’t look foreign at all. I wanted them to be able to see a problem and exactly know what steps that need to be taken. This was a great experience because it taught me the art of explaining complex concepts in common terms.In addition to that, in college, I volunteered at an elementary school tutoring a 4th grade student and a kindergartner student, focusing on reading and writing. Working with a different aged group of children one on one was a total different experience. Teaching these kids and learning from their enthusiasm was a big life lesson. I realized how different it was tutoring a young child vs. an older one and how teaching needs to be adapted to meet those ways. For example, including a fun activity for elementary school students is important to keep them engaged in school. While on the other hand, high school and college students require more of a practical approach and have to work through practice to understand a concept.I’ve also volunteered at Computers4Kids, where I tutored a middle school student. We met every week to create different computer project. I was able to build a bond with my student and teach her how to use a computer properly.I believe these various tutoring experiences have developed in me qualities needed to become a great tutor. I hope to be able to share my knowledge and also spend time learning with my students. One reason I believe tutoring is beneficial is that not only does it help the student, but I also get a chance to refresh and learn these concepts one more time.For the next two months, I will be available for on-line and in person tutoring in the Richmond area for about 10 hours per week. I am flexible for the next two months and I would be willing to do more hours if needed. Preferably afternoons or evenings would be better, but some mornings could also work. After those two months, I will be available for 5-10 hours a week for online tutoring, which would work better in the evenings.

I finished my PhD at Arizona State last year, and moved to Minneapolis to co-found a biomedical engineering startup. Before Arizona, I received a BS in electrical engineering at the University of Virginia.Over the past five years I've taught quite a few lab courses, mostly in electronics for biomedical students. I enjoy helping to guide students to a better understanding, so they can explain a concept in their own words (not just in my words). I like to draw out visual explanations whenever possible, for math and science concepts. I've been excited about all kinds of science for pretty much all my life, and I hope I can convey some of this excitement!Outside of academia, I'm into climbing and good board games.

Hello, my name is Lyn. I have worked for Varsity Tutors for two years. I only work with Honors Statistics and AP Statistics. I have a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia: The school that Thomas Jefferson built (1819) I have 13 years experience teaching at the college level, teaching over 300 classes (including 30 classes of Freshman Statistics) I then worked over 14 years as a professional data scientist for Capital One I have extensive experience tutoring one-on-one, teaching in the academic world, and applying mathematics and statistics in the real world. I know the theory and I know the applications - I understand how it all fits together. My teaching philosophy is simple. One teaching method does not work for every student. I customize my classes to meet the individual student's needs. Hope to see you in the future!

Hi! I'm a patient, results-focused tutor specializing in SAT Math and academic math support. I help students break down problems into clear, manageable steps and focus on efficient strategies that work under time pressure. My approach emphasizes accuracy, confidence, and recognizing common patterns so students can avoid careless mistakes and improve consistently. I tailor each session to the student's learning style and goals, whether they're building fundamentals or aiming for a higher score.

I received a B.A in Economics from the University of Virginia in 2013. I received a Certificate in Graduate Health Sciences from VCU School of Medicine. I will be attending VCU SOM as a medical student in Fall 2015. Currently I work for VCU and VCUHS when I am not tutoring. I have been tutoring in different capacities since 2005 and continue to do so because I really enjoy helping others understand how exciting learning can be.

I am a Business and Economics major from a US and Peruvian university, hence, I'm bilingual. Since I was in school I have tutored my fellow students as well as the ones in lower grades. I have also tutored middle school math in the US.My approach to tutoring is based on coaching and mindfulness. Students need to be encouraged and supported during their learning in an understanding and empathic way. This way students will learn the content and the skill they need to succeed and in turn, I learn how to be a better tutor.I strongly believe that learning should be fun. That is why my teaching approach involves teaching content as well as teaching learning skills. All students are different, so should teaching.

I am a graduate of Wellesley College and the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. I currently work in strategy consulting and am passionate about mentorship and education. I have experience helping students of all ages achieve their goals, most recently as an instructor in the Darden Prison Reentry Program teaching Business Foundations and Financial Capabilities.

I am a first year at the University of Virginia majoring in Computer Science.

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia and I have an MBA from Emory University in Atlanta. I teach graduate-level Finance and a Media Studies course at a university in New York. I am an expert in media/marketing and I enjoy analyzing financial statements and valuing businesses as an investor. I can help you with accounting, finance, media, marketing and communications.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia (UVA) originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track with the hopes of becoming a physician (hopefully in pediatrics). At UVA, I am involved in youth mentoring as a Program Director of "GEMS" (Girls Excited about Math and Science), where I teach exciting lessons and conduct experiments with a class of elementary school girls in a variety of scientific topics, while I am also the Head Program Director of Youth Mentoring at UVA. I was also involved in tutoring throughout high school, where I worked with a group of special needs students. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science (especially Biology and Chemistry), and Humanities, which are most strongly reflected in my own studies. In my experience in the areas of reading and writing in particular, strong literary thinking skills helped me to be more creative and set myself apart in many of my applications to college, so I am passionate about helping students of any age to become stronger writers. I am also passionate about enhancing students' skills in critical thinking, especially through STEM topics, which can set students up for success in any difficult course or standardized test. I hope to instill a strong appreciation for education and learning within each of my students, and I believe that the first step is to help students feel more confident in their areas of interest while setting goals for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, traveling, painting, and playing soccer.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with degrees in Spanish and Global Development Studies and a passion for literature and the arts. I couldn't be more excited to help New York area students thrive as I navigate my first few months in this incredible, swirling city.

Greetings! My name is Tim Mannel. I graduated from the University of Virginia in May with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. As an older brother, former babysitter, and camp counselor, I have always enjoyed working with children of all ages. It was my own youthful fascination with the natural world which led me to study science - the kid in me is what helps me connect with children.I place an emphasis on giving each child the tools they need to figure things out for themselves, especially for math and hard sciences such as chemistry. When students learn the correct way to approach problems, they learn not only their subject, but they learn "how to learn". Learning technical subjects need not be cold and rigid - creativity is valuable in any subject!In short, I like to teach in such a way that the student learns how to do the problem themselves, instead of just copying the tutor's solutions.

Hi!My name is Kate; I've been tutoring since high school and have worked with students of all ages. My specialty is English Language and Literature, and my background is in both English and Drama, which gives my approach to language and tutoring a dynamic edge. I'm passionate about finding creative problem solving methods and fresh, engaging ways of approaching grammar and technique. My favorite book is Virginia Woolf's The Waves; I can't wait to find out what your yours is!

I am a recent doctoral graduate in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Virginia (Go Hoos!). I am passionate about helping students understand and learn chemistry, as I believe everyone has the ability to succeed. I have experience teaching general chemistry and organic chemistry and am excited to work with you.

I'm astrobiologist and PhD student, with a deep love of teaching science. I have 4+ years of teaching environmental science and geology at the college level, and 2+ years of tutoring experience in astronomy. I also have considerable experience with Python, especially in terms of scientific applications and programming.(Ask me about network theory-based potential biosignatures for exoplanets!)

I earned my Bachelor of Arts with Honors in English Literature and Studio Art from the University of Virginia. In the coming year I will be attending the Art Institute of Chicago as a graduate student in the Film, Video, New Media, Animation department. Eventually I hope to teach at the university level. As a member of the community scholar program at UVa, I have mentored Studio Art students at the undergraduate level for nearly two years.I believe that learning is a holistic pursuit. Everything is connected. Basic knowledge builds to become advanced, nuanced knowledge. I want students to truly learn an appreciation for learning and to develop their personal interests and achievements to the fullest. I am excited to tutor English writing and literature as well as studio art because both enable students to develop their own ideas and creativity.For me traveling fosters creativity as well as a sense of community with new and differing perspectives, which is integral to learning. I've spent time in Spain, England, France, Germany, South Africa, Honduras and most recently, Argentina where I worked as an Artist in Residence. I am already planning more adventures in Central and South America for the coming year.Whether I am abroad or at home, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, cooking and painting. I am always reading and keeping up to date on current literature and art. For me, all of these activities invigorate my mind. I'm excited to share these passions with students and to help students cultivate their love for learning!

I invest in my students to facilitate their investment in themselves. I encourage a growth mindset; (taking) ownership of material; and feedback which is clear, concise but detailed, and candid but respectful of students' autonomy, dignity, and integrity. I firmly believe that education is critical to human maturity and am passionate about helping my students to see what is at stake - for us as human - in the humanities and social sciences.and, yes, even the LSAT! I welcome especially LSAT students. An aspiring lawyer (or, actually, if I am lucky enough, law professor), I will apply to law school in fall 2026. I have been studying seriously for the LSAT since fall of 2023 and have taken the LSAT three times (new one twice). I am preparing intensively to do so again in early 2026. I received a 172 on the August 2025 exam. I am passionate about sharing with my students my accumulated insights in taking on the LSAT. I specialize also in six AP social science & humanities courses: European History, Macroeconomics & Microeconomics, US Government and Politics, US History, and World History (Modern). I have worked with numerous students for each and am thoroughly familiar with the curricula and the exams. I am especially interested in helping students see, very concretely, how deeply ideas shape our world; and in improving their spoken and written expression. Last - interested seriously in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and American constitutional interpretation, I welcome the opportunity to work with college students taking courses in these or closely related subjects. I majored in political science at UVA (B.A., 2010). I then received an M.A. (2012) and an M.Phil. (2014) in philosophy at Columbia. As a PhD student at Columbia, I served as teaching assistant for or taught numerous courses in these fields. I also taught in the university's pre-college program 2017-2023. I prefer **very strongly** to work with students who want to meet at least once a week on most weeks. The less often you want to meet, the better-served you would be by a tutor other than me.

I love my career as a Realtor, but I'm passionate about teaching. For over 30 years I've taught attorneys, paralegals and lenders, adults at a local technical school, and middle school students in a local school district. I've also been a speaker at state and national seminars and I have co-authored 2 instruction manuals on various aspects of real estate. I've never met a microphone I didn't like! My 33 years in real estate include title insurance and mortgage experience, and I've been a licensed Michigan Realtor since 2012.Born and raised in the South, I'm known for sharing my Southern hospitality and kindness with all of my students. I've lived in more cities and states than most people visit in a lifetime! I'm adaptable, creative and focused, and I have a great sense of humor. Feel free to check out my profile, and come see me online!

I am a Posse Scholar at the University of Virginia. Posse Scholars receive full-tuition scholarships for our leadership and academic merit. I am a leader and a great team player. I have tutored in the Day in the Life program at The University of Virginia, learning from other teachers and Professors. I believe a teacher should be motivating, kind, and respectful to his student. While not being a student at UVa, I tutor in Houston, as learning and teaching are some of my passions.

Having tutored since high school, I love getting to know individual students and putting our heads together to figure out what strategies will be most effective to learn subject material. In particular, I focus on math and languages, since my strengths lie in cumulative, memorization-based topics.

Hi! I'm Alex. I'm currently a 4th year undergraduate at the University of Virginia studying History and Classics. I have tutoring experience in many fields including but not limited to English, Latin, History, and Spanish. My academic experience has not only taught me subject material, but also have expanded my academic skills as a whole. The intensity of reading and writing in History has honed my abilities and forced me to understand them in a way that is replicable and teachable. Furthermore, my study of Classical languages has granted me an understanding of the fundamentals of language which I have been able to apply even to my native language, English. In tutoring, I aim to be as adaptable to each individual student as possible. The benefit of one-on-one sessions is that all attention can go to specific needs, which is what I like to isolate and work towards. I had my own tutors in subjects I was passionate in as a student and my enjoyment was only increased by those experiences. I want to be able to replicate that for others.

When I think about what makes a great tutor, I think about what I would like in a tutor for myself. They should be approachable, helpful, patient, friendly, flexible, and reliable. I feel as though I encapsulate all of these traits and then some. I am an extrovert with introvert tendencies; so I am able to relate to different types of students, whether they are loud and boisterous or quiet and reserved. I love helping others, not because I feel good about myself, but I genuinely enjoy seeing people "get" the material and giving back. Patience, I was just fortunate to always have it. I have had to tutor groups of elementary school friends, which one could imagine how unfocused they could be. I have the ability to work with someone, whether they pick something up immediately or takes lots of repetition.I've got years of experience volunteer tutoring with different organizations from the Day in the Life Program in Charlottesville, VA to mentoring middle school and high school students through the national programs of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Being flexible and reliable are important to me because we don't know how a student learns so we cannot just expect them to learn the same. Lastly, I just care about making relationships with my students. The biggest thing I have noticed from past experiences is that if a student likes their tutor, he or she are more likely to want to learn and do better. I am currently working on my M.S with required lab so my availability will be in the late afternoon through the evening. Additionally, the M.S will also require me to stay around even during the summertime. With that being said, I will be able to work year around.

I graduated from the University of Virginia with Distinction with BA's in English (Poetry Writing concentration) and French. Since graduating, I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia where I taught at the American Montessori International School and worked at The St. Petersburg Times, a weekly newspaper. I started tutoring before college, and I have since tutored students ages three-adult in French, SAT Reading, Writing, and Verbal, Essay Writing, ESL, Study Skills, and more.I am also an avid, competitive ballroom dancer. I began teaching dance at my ballet studio in high school before going on to teach my college team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish.In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not only to boost their test scores, but also to set themselves up for a lifetime of confident communicating.

I teach my students to think, to understand the concepts rather than memorize an exercise. I understand that everyone is different; therefore, it is necessary to look for different teaching strategies for each individual. Teaching is for me very rewarding, one gets immediate feedback. When a student improves the teaching objectives are met.

As a father, my children's education was incredibly important to me. Due to the below average school system where we lived, I decided to home school the both of them. Being involved with their education, and the education of a co-opt of other children was the most rewarding task I have ever undertaken. I understand the importance of truly engaging students, of understanding the various styles of learning for each individual, and acting not only as a teacher, but as a mentor. The true goal is to not only teach the student the materials in front of them but to engender a life-long love of learning. Teaching and polishing writing, from a beginning level to college is a specialty of mine, but I enjoy sharing and teaching all subjects to any ages.
