The Best Tutoring in Norfolk

At Tutor Doctor Glen Allen, we build each plan around your child’s teacher expectations, Norfolk City Public Schools pacing, and the Virginia Standards of Learning. We review school syllabi, assignments, and recent test data, then use SOL blueprints and released practice items to target exactly what will be assessed. We track updates from Norfolk City Public Schools and the Virginia Department of Education so strategies and materials stay current. This approach helps students in neighborhoods like Ghent, Ocean View, Larchmont-Edgewater, and Colonial Place feel prepared for classroom work and state testing.

We support learners from elementary through adult education. Subjects include math, reading, writing, science, social studies, and study skills, plus advanced courses and test prep. For secondary students, we help with Algebra through Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, AP courses, and SOL prep. We also support SAT, ACT, and PSAT. Families in Norfolk, VA and nearby cities like Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth can choose in-home or online sessions.

We start with a free consultation to learn about your child’s goals, learning style, schedule, and personality. Then we match a tutor with the right subject expertise and teaching approach. We consider fit for military families with changing schedules, students with IEP or 504 plans, and learners who need extra focus on organization and time management. You receive our Tutor Fit Guarantee, which means we will adjust the plan or change the tutor if needed.

Yes. We offer one-to-one in-home tutoring across Norfolk, including Bayview, Willoughby Spit, Freemason District, Colonial Place, and Downtown Norfolk. We also provide online tutoring with session recordings students can review for quizzes and exams. Scheduling is flexible after school and on weekends, which helps military families near Norfolk Naval housing and busy households across Hampton Roads keep consistent support in place.

You get a short report after every session that summarizes skills covered, wins, and next steps. We set clear goals tied to classroom standards and SOL objectives, then check progress at regular intervals. Tutors share upcoming school deadlines, unit tests, and SOL milestones so the plan stays aligned with what is happening in class. Many parents tell us these updates bring real peace of mind. One local parent shared, “their son moved to above grade level and looks forward to sessions because of his tutor’s approach.”

Yes. We work with students who have ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum, anxiety, and other learning differences. We align our plan with IEP and 504 accommodations, communicate with parents about what works best, and build executive function skills through our X-Skills program. This includes organization, planning, time management, prioritization, and goal setting. Our focus is to help students feel confident, independent, and ready to learn.

Common signs include unfinished homework, slipping grades, confusion about recent topics, or lower confidence. Many Norfolk families are seeking extra help because local data shows only 48 percent math proficiency and 35 percent science proficiency compared to Virginia averages. If you are seeing stress around school or a big gap between effort and results, a one-to-one tutor can help close skill gaps and rebuild confidence. Start with a free consultation so we can create a plan that fits your child and your schedule.

Yes. For SOLs, we use released items and SOL blueprints to focus on the exact standards students must master.

Students in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, and Newport News can book in-home or online sessions that fit their school calendars.
