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.

Amber

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

I've completed AB and BC Calculus and Differential Equations.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students throughout Alexandria with expert tutors across all subjects and grade levels. With over 90 schools and nearly 50,000 students in the Alexandria area, we work with families across the city to provide personalized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to each student's needs and goals.

Virginia's SOL assessments are a key part of academic progression, and personalized tutoring helps students master the specific content and test-taking strategies needed to succeed. Tutors work with Alexandria students to target gaps in understanding, reinforce core concepts, and build confidence in subjects like math, science, English, and history where SOL performance matters most.

While Alexandria schools maintain a 14.2:1 student-teacher ratio—better than many districts—classroom instruction still can't provide the individualized attention every student needs. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to adapt pacing, teaching style, and content to each student's learning profile, which is especially valuable for students working toward advanced placement, catching up, or preparing for high-stakes assessments.

Alexandria students most frequently seek help with math (algebra, geometry, and calculus), English and writing skills, science (biology and chemistry), and test preparation for the SAT and ACT. Tutors also support students in foreign languages, history, and AP courses as they prepare for college and career readiness benchmarks.

The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their current academic level, learning style, specific challenges, and goals. The tutor will assess where your student stands, discuss what you'd like to accomplish, and create a personalized plan for how tutoring will support their success in Alexandria schools.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. Varsity Tutors works with families to find options that fit their budget and academic needs. Contact us to discuss your student's specific situation and get transparent pricing information.

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects Alexandria students with tutors who specialize in SAT and ACT prep. With the national average SAT score around 1050 and ACT around 21, personalized test prep helps students develop strategies, practice under realistic conditions, and build the skills needed to reach their target scores for college applications.

Tutoring can be scheduled around your family's calendar—whether that's after school, weekends, or during the summer. Varsity Tutors works with Alexandria families to find times that work best for their student's learning and your family's schedule.
