Bhagavathy
MS University of Kerala • BA Bangalore University

I know math can feel overwhelming or even scary. My job is to change that. With a proven track record of 15 years of teaching in reputed schools, 2 years of online teaching and 3 years of private tutoring , I have seen it all. In my lessons, you'll see use lot of visuals and real life examples. When something doesn't click, we slow down, try a different angle, and figure out what works for you. I believe that life has different approaches to a solution, just like Math.

Molly
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Yale University, where I majored in Global Affairs. After graduation, I spent one year at a liberal arts college in Singapore, where I worked in the writing center and mentored students extensively in academic writing. Since then, I have been traveling, while continuing to tutor writing skills online. I emphasize learning how to write a clear, organized, and persuasive argument supported by solid evidence. In addition, I have experience tutoring students one-on-one with academic subjects and test prep. I enjoy helping my students discover the patterns behind the problems in standardized tests, especially in the SAT and LSAT. I believe in a personalized approach, and I love seeing students gain mastery and understanding of these skills. Next Fall I will be attending law school.

BA Virginia Commonwealth University • Current Grad Student, Pharmacy Virginia Commonwealth University
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Briana
MS Virginia Commonwealth University • BA University of Virginia-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students across Herndon's 23 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Fairfax County elementary, middle, or high school in the area, we can match them with a tutor who understands local curriculum standards and can help them succeed in their specific school environment.

With over 12,000 students in Herndon schools, we see a wide range of learning needs—from students seeking support in core subjects like math and English to those preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. Many students also benefit from tutoring to meet Virginia's Standards of Learning (SOL) requirements, particularly in subjects where class sizes can make individualized attention difficult.

While Herndon's average student-teacher ratio is 14.6:1, personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills an important gap that classroom teaching can't always address. Tutors work at your student's pace, focus on their specific learning gaps, and adapt their teaching style to how your child learns best—something that's difficult for teachers managing full classrooms.

During the initial session, a tutor will assess your student's current level, understand their specific goals, and identify areas where they need the most support. This might involve reviewing recent schoolwork, discussing challenges in particular subjects, or understanding test preparation needs. The tutor then creates a customized plan tailored to your student's learning style and Herndon school curriculum.

Absolutely. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Virginia's Standards of Learning and can provide targeted preparation for SOL assessments in math, science, English, and social studies. Tutors can help students build mastery of specific content areas and test-taking strategies to boost confidence and performance on these important state assessments.

Tutors support students across all major subjects—math, science, English, history, and foreign languages—as well as specialized areas like test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams), writing, and study skills. Whether your student needs help with elementary fundamentals, middle school transitions, or high school coursework, we can connect you with someone qualified in that specific area.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor qualifications, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to find options that fit different budgets and schedules. Contact us to discuss your student's specific needs, and we can provide transparent pricing and help you understand what to expect before you get started.

Getting started is simple—tell us about your student's grade level, subject needs, and goals, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor who's a good fit. You can typically begin sessions within days, and you'll have flexibility to adjust frequency and focus as your student's needs evolve throughout the school year.
