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

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.
