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.
Joel
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +23 Subjects
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. Hobbies: art, books, outdoors, reading, music, writing
Linleyi
Middle School Math Tutor • +3 Subjects
I am a graduate of Georgetown University, holding a Master of Public Policy, a top 10 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program nationally. Originally from China, I am now based in the US and have worked with researchers, NGOs, and international organizations to solve real-world problems. My subjects include GRE Quantitative, GRE, Math, Coding and Programming, and Chinese. Due to my practical experience, I believe that the most effective way to study is "learning by doing." I will create real-world scenarios and help students understand how to leverage their skills, thereby gaining a sense of accomplishment. Games, debates, and other interactive activities are also important for students to like the subject and improve their grades. I am confident that I have the capability and patience to be an amazing tutor. My Master's degree is data-heavy, and I accepted the rigorous training in advanced data analytics, statistical modeling, and programming. I was also a tutor for middle school students in Science and Math, meaning I can not only understand the difficult jargon, but also explain it in plain language. While pursuing my degree, I was a Chinese teaching assistant for undergraduates. By designing the curriculum independently, I helped students understand Chinese society from the economy, diplomacy, and family transformation. I am looking forward to meeting you all!

Throughout my three years of undergrad, I have been a preceptor for Cell Biology and Genetics. In addition, I was a supplemental instruction leader in CHEM 101 and CHEM 102. I am currently a Medical Scribe, but I will be attending VCOM for medical school starting Fall 2018.
Junpei
AP Biology Tutor • +8 Subjects
I'm a current medical student at VCU School of Medicine, and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology. I've had the pleasure of tutoring a diverse range of students for 5 years; while I tutor a broad set of subjects, I'm most passionate about biology, psychology, and chemistry. I'm a big proponent of ensuring understanding over memorization and teaching concepts that last for years to come (particularly for other students interested in medicine!) In my free time, I love to write poetry, edit essays, and gush about game writing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Norfolk's 79 schools and 4 school districts with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Norfolk Public Schools, charter schools, or private institutions, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Tutors working with Norfolk students are familiar with Virginia's SOL requirements and design personalized instruction around the specific standards your student needs to master. This targeted approach helps students build the foundational skills tested on SOL exams while deepening their understanding of core subjects like math, English, science, and social studies.
Norfolk students commonly seek tutoring in math (especially algebra and geometry), English/language arts, science, and test preparation for SOL exams and the SAT/ACT. We also support students in advanced subjects like AP courses, foreign languages, and specialized test prep to help them stay competitive academically.
Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and identify specific learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss challenges they're facing, and create a personalized plan tailored to their needs—whether that's catching up in a subject, preparing for an exam, or getting ahead in their coursework.
With Norfolk's average student-teacher ratio of 13.3:1, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that addresses their individual learning style and pace. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by providing dedicated time for your student to ask questions, work through difficult concepts, and receive immediate feedback—something that's harder to get in a classroom setting.
Pricing varies based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions—we work with families to find options that fit their budget. To get started, you'll connect with our team to discuss your student's needs, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor in Norfolk who's the right fit. Most families schedule an initial session within days of connecting.
Tutors connected through Varsity Tutors are experienced educators and subject matter experts who understand Virginia's curriculum standards and have a track record of helping students succeed. Each tutor is vetted for expertise in their subject area and ability to work effectively with students at various levels, from struggling learners to advanced students.
Many Norfolk students see noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on the student's starting point and how frequently they meet with their tutor. The key is regular, focused sessions combined with practice between meetings—personalized instruction works best when it's sustained and reinforced over time.
