Christabel
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +12 Subjects
I graduated with honors from Wheaton College (IL) with a B.A. in English, Writing and a Certificate in Early Church History. While studying, I worked as a Writing Consultant where I empowered undergraduate and graduate students to write clearly and persuasively and to read their own work with a critical eye for revision. I believe each student has the capacity to write effectively and I am passionate about providing the skills to assist students to develop their own voice.In addition to Writing, I especially enjoy tutoring Literature, Reading, and ESL/ELL. I am particularly equipped to tutor high school, undergraduate, and graduate level students, but I also have experience with younger age groups. My sessions promote long term improvement in students' abilities by adapting to their unique learning style and inspiring them to reach their goals.In my free time I pursue figure skating, hiking, yoga, painting, and poetry.

Do you ever go into class thinking, "Okay, I am 100% focused and I will completely understand everything my teacher says", and leave thinking "What just happened?!?"... It's not uncommon. Often times you might just be one concept behind and are always trying to play mental catch-up during lecture. Or maybe you just learn better in terms of "apples" when your teacher only knows how to to teach in terms of "oranges". Let me help you get ahead of the game and compare apples to oranges. There is no reason why you cant learn anything you want, get back on track, and make light work of your once most dreaded subject matter. I love to tutor because there is nothing more rewarding than getting to that "Aha!" moment that every student strives to reach. Come attack your problems from a new angle and "Aha!" with me!
Stephen

In the fall of 2007, I fulfilled a dream by attending the University of Notre Dame. There I majored in Classics and Pre-Professional Studies. Following my college career, I obtained a Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences from Midwestern University in Downers Grove.I have always been fascinated with biology and chemistry and how microscopic interactions lead to the world we see around us. I love learning about all areas of science and this passion drives my excitement for tutoring. As someone who was able to go to his dream school, I am committed to helping everyone I tutor to have the same opportunity.
Tamara
Algebra Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics. My academic interests while at Barnard were focused on microeconomics and statistical research. I am a believer that a strong education can propel you to achieve your goals. I think that anyone can learn math and logical thinking with a little help. I have experience tutoring high school students in Algebra I and was always helping my fellow classmates with their economics problem sets in college. While working professionally, my job demanded strong technical skills in data programming. Each year, I taught my coworkers the necessary programming skills both through classroom setting lectures and through one-on-one tutoring. In my free time I love going to spin class, learning how to cook, and watching MSNBC!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Charlottesville has 5 school districts serving over 14,000 students across 47 schools, and Varsity Tutors connects students from all of them with personalized tutoring. Whether your student attends a school in Albemarle County, City of Charlottesville, or another local district, we match them with tutors who understand Virginia's curriculum standards and can support their specific academic needs.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is particularly effective for SOL preparation because tutors can focus on the exact standards your student needs to master, rather than moving at a whole-class pace. Tutors work with Charlottesville students on test-taking strategies, content gaps, and practice with SOL-style questions—helping them feel confident and prepared for state assessments in subjects like math, reading, science, and social studies.
Charlottesville students seek tutoring across a wide range of subjects, but math and reading support are consistently in high demand—especially as students transition between grade levels or prepare for standardized testing. We also connect many local students with tutors for science, writing, test prep (SAT/ACT), and subject-specific help like AP courses and foreign languages.
Your student's first session is focused on building rapport and understanding their specific needs. The tutor will ask about academic strengths, challenges, goals, and learning style—and may review recent schoolwork or test scores to identify where support would be most helpful. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan aligned with your student's school curriculum and long-term objectives.
Charlottesville schools maintain a 12.6:1 average student-teacher ratio, which is solid, but even in well-resourced classrooms, individual attention is limited. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to adapt teaching in real-time to your student's pace, ask probing questions, and address misconceptions immediately—something that's difficult in a classroom setting, even with good ratios.
The ideal frequency depends on your student's goals and challenges. Some students benefit from weekly sessions for ongoing support, while others meet twice a week during test prep or when tackling difficult units. Your tutor will recommend a schedule based on your student's needs and progress, and you can adjust as needed—there's no one-size-fits-all approach.
Yes. Many Charlottesville high school students work with tutors on SAT and ACT preparation, and personalized instruction is highly effective for test prep. Tutors help students understand question types, develop strategies, practice under timed conditions, and target weak areas—all tailored to your student's starting level and goals. Whether your student is aiming to improve a specific section or boost their overall score, a tutor can create a focused prep plan.
The process is straightforward: tell us about your student's needs, grade level, and subjects, and we'll match them with an experienced tutor who fits their learning style and goals. You'll have a chance to meet the tutor and discuss expectations before committing, and you can start sessions as soon as you're both ready. Most Charlottesville families are able to connect with a tutor within a few days of reaching out.
