Taylor
BA Virginia Commonwealth University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.

Andrea
BA James Madison University
1+ Years Tutoring

Andrea's experience teaching children of immigrants at a refugee center — kids who were simultaneously learning English and adapting to American school curricula — gave her a sharp sense of how to explain arithmetic concepts without relying on language alone. She leans on drawings, physical objects, and pattern recognition to make operations like regrouping and basic division accessible to any young learner, regardless of starting point. Rated 4.7 by families.

Gabriel
PhD University of Chicago • BA Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

Multiplication tables, place value, basic fractions — elementary math is deceptively important because every future math concept depends on it. Gabriel's background in human development gives him sharp insight into how younger learners think and build number sense. He keeps sessions interactive and concrete, turning abstract ideas into something a child can visualize and explain back.

Owen
MS Johns Hopkins University
1+ Years Tutoring

Multiplication tables and long division aren't just procedures to memorize — they're building blocks that either support or undermine everything a student does in math for years to come. Owen approaches elementary math by making sure students understand place value and number relationships deeply enough to apply them flexibly, not just follow steps on a worksheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often struggle with the transition from memorizing procedures to truly understanding why math works. Common pain points include word problems (especially multi-step ones), grasping place value and regrouping, and building confidence with fractions. Many students also experience math anxiety when they can't see how concepts connect to real life or previous lessons they've learned.

With a 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio in Virginia Beach schools, students often don't get the individualized attention needed to address their specific learning gaps. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to identify whether a student struggles with foundational concepts or just needs a different explanation, then adjust their teaching approach accordingly. This targeted instruction helps students build genuine understanding rather than just memorizing steps.

Showing work reveals a student's thinking process and helps identify exactly where confusion occurs—whether it's in setup, calculation, or understanding the problem itself. Expert tutors teach students effective problem-solving strategies and help them organize their work clearly, which builds both mathematical confidence and stronger grades. This skill also prepares students for more advanced math where explaining reasoning becomes essential.

Yes. Virginia Beach has two school districts serving over 65,000 students, and tutors understand the specific approaches and textbooks used locally. Whether your student's school uses Singapore Math, Eureka Math, or another curriculum, Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who can reinforce what's being taught in class and fill gaps using methods your student's teacher already uses.

Math anxiety often stems from past struggles or feeling rushed in a classroom setting. In personalized sessions, tutors create a low-pressure environment where students can ask questions, make mistakes safely, and see themselves succeed on problems step by step. This builds genuine confidence as students realize they can understand math when given time and the right explanation.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's strengths, current challenges, and learning style. Tutors assess which concepts are solid and where gaps exist, then work on one or two problems together to establish rapport and show how personalized instruction works. This helps both the tutor and student build a plan for the sessions ahead.

Word problems require students to read carefully, identify what's being asked, and translate language into mathematical operations—skills that need explicit teaching. Tutors break down the process: reading for understanding, identifying key information, choosing the right strategy, and checking if the answer makes sense. With practice and guidance, students learn to see word problems as puzzles to solve rather than obstacles to fear.

Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's needs, and you'll be matched with a tutor experienced in elementary math and familiar with Virginia Beach schools. You can then schedule your first session at a time that works for your family. The process is straightforward—our goal is to connect you quickly so your student can start building stronger math skills and confidence.
