MS Georgetown University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Georgetown University, holding a Master of Public Policy, a top 10 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program nationally. Originally from China, I am now based in the US and have worked with researchers, NGOs, and international organizations to solve real-world problems. My subjects include GRE Quantitative, GRE, Math, Coding and Programming, and Chinese. Due to my practical experience, I believe that the most effective way to study is "learning by doing." I will create real-world scenarios and help students understand how to leverage their skills, thereby gaining a sense of accomplishment. Games, debates, and other interactive activities are also important for students to like the subject and improve their grades. I am confident that I have the capability and patience to be an amazing tutor. My Master's degree is data-heavy, and I accepted the rigorous training in advanced data analytics, statistical modeling, and programming. I was also a tutor for middle school students in Science and Math, meaning I can not only understand the difficult jargon, but also explain it in plain language. While pursuing my degree, I was a Chinese teaching assistant for undergraduates. By designing the curriculum independently, I helped students understand Chinese society from the economy, diplomacy, and family transformation. I am looking forward to meeting you all!

I have spent my life teaching math, both as a classroom teacher and as a tutor, and I love it! My goal is always to make mathematics simple and understandable. I teach by asking questions, both to check for understanding and to allow the student to figure out the concept on his/her own. While my favorite topics are Statistics and Trigonometry, I love teaching all of Algebra too. I have taught both AP Statistics as well as IB SL. Nothing compares to seeing the look of understanding a math concept on a student's face! In addition, I have taught courses in, and tutored, SAT Prep for 35 years. While I do tutor both the math and Reading & Writing sections, I do believe that students can be helped more in the math section. Therefore, I choose to work with students who want to improve their math score more, but may still want some help with the Reading and Writing. Yes, the SAT has changed throughout the years but I have kept up with it and have seen more than 100 SAT tests. I am an expert in SAT test construction and offer many problem-solving strategies for success on the SAT test.

2+ Years Tutoring

I am a lawyer in the Washington, D.C. area. I tutor in the test prep space - primarily for the SAT, ACT, and LSAT. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2013, where I was a National Merit Scholar. I then spent one year in the Washington, D.C. area as a SAT/ACT instructor for a testing company, where I taught at four different area high schools and marketed company services to area high school students. I then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where I was awarded a full tuition scholarship in part from my LSAT score. I also taught an SAT course for the same testing company during my time in law school. My teaching philosophy is simple: figure out what works for you and assisting you in achieving your best score. I'm pretty much always available to answer questions even outside of our tutoring time.

Katie
BS University of Maryland-University College
2+ Years Tutoring

I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Maryland in May 2023. I would like to use my degree in a field that involves education, children, and studying child cognition. I have over 3 years of tutoring experience, and math has always been a passion of mine. Thus, I prefer to tutor children in math, but I am qualified to tutor in subjects such as Spanish, science, and English. I find it very rewarding to help students learn and overcome struggles they have in school. Their smiles alone make the work worthwhile to me. My past experience tutoring students includes working with children between the ages of 6 and 16. While tutoring, I try my best to keep the student engaged by including physical and virtual math games, physical learning tools, and other learning instruments designed to make learning more engaging for students. My tutoring style is pretty hands-on, but I also try to sit back and allow the student to think more deeply about the content and absorb the knowledge on their own. Outside of academia, I love to draw, especially with graphite, but I do occasionally use charcoal, colored pencils, and pens. I also love to exercise at the gym, but I especially enjoy hot yoga and pilates classes. I was also a gymnast all throughout my childhood and adolescence, and I was a gymnastics instructor at my hometown gym in college.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Arlington's 57 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a school in Arlington Public Schools or another institution in the area, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Virginia's academic standards.

Virginia's Standards of Learning (SOL) set specific benchmarks for each grade level, and personalized tutoring helps students master these standards at their own pace. Our tutors focus on the exact skills and content your student needs to succeed on SOL assessments and in their Arlington classrooms, whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or science concepts.

During the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific challenges, and learn about their learning style. This foundation helps the tutor create a personalized plan that targets exactly what your Arlington student needs to improve, whether that's test preparation, homework support, or building foundational skills.

Arlington students most commonly seek tutoring in math, reading, and test preparation—particularly for SOL exams, SAT, and ACT. We also support students in science, writing, foreign languages, and subject-specific help across middle and high school coursework to keep pace with Arlington's rigorous academic environment.

While Arlington's average student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1 is strong, individual classroom instruction can't always address each student's unique learning pace or specific gaps. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring fills that gap by providing focused attention on your student's exact needs, whether they're working ahead, catching up, or mastering a challenging concept.

Varsity Tutors connects students with expert tutors who have deep subject knowledge and experience working with students at various levels. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant degrees, and understand Virginia's curriculum standards and what Arlington schools expect from their students.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find options that fit their budget. We recommend starting with a consultation to discuss your student's needs and get transparent pricing for personalized instruction tailored to your situation.

Simply reach out to Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, and specific challenges. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit and can typically start sessions quickly, so your student gets support when they need it most.
