Nina
Statistics Graduate Level Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
Reid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
Liz
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +41 Subjects
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
Christopher
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends. Hobbies: writing, art, books, reading, gardening, music
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Justin
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

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.
