The Best Tutoring in Ashland, VA

Tutor Doctor Glen Allen delivers one-to-one tutoring tailored to your childs goals, pace, and personality.

Yes. We align sessions with the curriculum and pacing used in Hanover County Public Schools and nearby districts like Henrico and Richmond. Tutors review classroom materials, teacher expectations, and upcoming assessments so your child gets help that fits exactly what they are doing in school.

We follow four steps. 1) Assess: a free consultation to learn your goals and your childs learning style. 2) Match: we introduce a tutor based on subject expertise, personality, and schedule. 3) Tutor: one-to-one sessions in your home or online to close gaps and build confidence. 4) Support: you receive session reports and check-ins so we can adjust as your child grows. We also offer our Tutor Fit Guarantee, which means we will adjust the plan or tutor if needed.
