Austin
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +24 Subjects
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.
Joel
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am currently working on my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I attained my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. VCU is where I have held bioinorganic research positions as well as teaching positions. I acted as a teaching assistant in various chemistry and biology classes while studying and am currently an adjunct faculty teaching chemistry courses for the university. In addition to Varsity Tutors, I tutor for PCG education where I prepare students at J L Francis Elemetnary School for their mathematics SOLs. Throughout my different experiences with teaching and tutoring, I have found that each individual requires a different teaching style. Adjusting styles to accommodate different learning styles can be difficult at start, but overtime it helps the success of students to achieve their goals. Hobbies: art, books, outdoors, reading, music, writing
Briana
Calculus Tutor • +19 Subjects
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.
Junpei
AP Biology Tutor • +8 Subjects
I'm a current medical student at VCU School of Medicine, and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I've had the pleasure of tutoring a diverse range of students for 5 years; while I tutor a broad set of subjects, I'm most passionate about biology, psychology, and chemistry. I'm a big proponent of ensuring understanding over memorization and teaching concepts that last for years to come (particularly for other students interested in medicine!) In my free time, I love to write poetry, edit essays, and gush about game writing with friends.

Linleyi
Middle School Math Tutor • +3 Subjects
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 am currently a Medical Scribe, but I will be attending VCOM for medical school starting Fall 2018.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Harrisonburg's 18 schools and all 3 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Harrisonburg City Schools, Rockingham County Public Schools, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand Virginia's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is especially effective for mastering Virginia's Standards of Learning because tutors can focus on the exact concepts your student finds challenging. Rather than moving at a class pace, tutors work at your student's speed—whether that means diving deeper into SOL-tested material or building foundational skills that unlock success in core subjects like math, reading, and science.
Harrisonburg schools maintain an average student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which is solid, but even in well-staffed classrooms, teachers manage diverse learning needs across many students. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing undivided attention on your student's specific challenges—whether that's test anxiety, gaps in foundational skills, or advanced enrichment—in a way that classroom instruction alone can't match.
During the first session, the tutor gets to know your student—their learning style, current strengths, specific challenges, and academic goals. This foundation allows the tutor to build a customized plan that targets exactly what your student needs, whether that's homework help, test prep for Virginia SOL exams, or deeper conceptual understanding in a challenging subject.
Math and English Language Arts are the most frequently requested subjects, especially as students prepare for SOL assessments and transition between grade levels. We also see strong demand for science tutoring, test prep (including SAT and ACT), and subject-specific help in algebra, geometry, and writing—areas where personalized instruction makes a measurable difference in student confidence and performance.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs—there's no one-size-fits-all price. We work with Harrisonburg families to find solutions that fit their budgets, whether that's weekly sessions, intensive test prep, or periodic support. Contact us to discuss your situation and get matched with a tutor at a rate that works for your family.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have strong subject knowledge and teaching experience—many hold advanced degrees or have years of classroom experience. All tutors are carefully vetted to ensure they can deliver personalized instruction aligned with Virginia standards and help your student succeed in their specific courses and assessments.
Many students show improved confidence and understanding within the first few sessions, though academic results depend on factors like starting point, frequency of tutoring, and how actively your student engages. Consistent, personalized instruction typically leads to measurable grade improvements and test score gains within 4-8 weeks, especially when tutoring is paired with regular practice and homework support.
