Unlock Your Child’s Hidden Potential Today.
Online Tutoring for Kids and High School Students In Virginia.
We go beyond traditional tutoring to build confidence, curiosity, critical thinking, and lasting success. See why families across Virginia trust us with their children’s academic future.
Is Your Child Struggling to Catch Up or Striving Get Ahead?

Every student’s educational journey is unique. While bad grades can impact your child’s future and confidence, good grades can mask deeper threats to long-term success. When academic achievement is measured as an expression of inner excellence, you may realize that your child is either further from the goal than you may have originally thought, or closer to success than you ever imagined.
How much of your child’s true potential is reflected in their learning, and how will you help them reach their full potential?
Untapped Excellence.
Struggling.
Results in a cycle of failures, setbacks, and frustration. These students struggle to keep up or are stuck altogether. They also demonstrate low confidence and have large knowledge gaps or even lack some basic knowledge.
Suppressed Excellence.
Settling.
Results in obstructed progress. These students may do “fine” in class but are often not confident enough (or challenged enough) to seek advancement, which leads to embracing mediocrity rather than pursuing growth.
Emerging Excellence.
Striving.
Results in the pursuit of growth. Obvious shifts in mindset, habits, and confidence occur as these students start to formulate their own definition of personal success and take ownership of their education.
Realized Excellence.
Succeeding.
Results in higher academic achievement, a love for learning, and a positive mental attitude. These students have a personal definition of success which drives them to always do their personal best.
The Impacts of Choosing The Right Tutor for Your Family.
If you search the internet or talk to more than a few people about online tutoring, you’ll quickly learn that opinions and experiences vary. Many are positive, some are not, and others are scary. When finding and retaining a tutor, taking the time to do careful research during the early stages is key. When you’re concerned about your child, it can be tempting to avoid anything that has even a small inherent risk, or rush into commitment at the first sign of hope.
Below you will find what we believe are just a few key factors that tend to lead to exceptional results when picking a tutor for your child. We also offer free consultations to help you get a head start, no strings attached.

Relationship
Trust, empathy, respect, personalization of lessons, and fun!

Availability, pricing, flexibility, convenience, placement, and safety.

Finally, Online Tutoring That Actually Works.
At Commonwealth Tutoring, we draw out excellence in every student. Our dedicated tutors help your child make real academic progress and take ownership of their education. We believe in family partnership, which is the idea that long-term success is a byproduct of strong relationships between our tutors and your family. Our online tutoring model consists of five (5) main ideas which are grounded in leading research about learning. When you trust us with your child’s education, our #1 priority to get your child the best results that they can possibly achieve.
Our remote platform lets us hire a broader range of experienced, diverse tutors from across the country. This means your child can access high-quality, personalized instruction from the comfort and safety of home. Plus, by eliminating the need to commute, pack lunch, or manage other logistics, you save on travel expenses and reclaim valuable time for what really matters—your child’s success.
As a homegrown, community-centered organization, we exclusively serve families in Virginia and we understand the local school systems of the children we help. Since we are a private entity independent of state funding, we are able to align ourselves with Virginia state standards, but remain free to offer customized, high-quality education without bureaucratic constraints.
We’re not a tutor marketplace with a list of profiles for you to click through, nor do we operate as a “rotating door” service where students receive impromptu help from different instructors each time. Our consultants take the time to understand your goals, then we recruit and assign a tutor specially matched to your child.
We rely on leading research from organizations like the National Student Support Accelerator, and we conduct our own studies under the guidance of our licensed teacher-researcher, Dr. Derek Porter, Ed.D. Our leadership team has presented at conferences on eLearning processes, and continues to work hard in order to ensure our methods remain innovative and effective.
We offer free DISC assessments—short quizzes that reveal what motivates your child and identify key areas to watch. These insights not only enable us to match your child with the right tutor but also provide a preview of your child’s personality, allowing their tutor to tailor their approach for optimal support.

Have questions about how we operate? Look no further than our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section. We have carefully curated a list of common inquiries and provided answers to address them.
What subjects and grade levels do you cover?
Commonwealth Tutoring currently offers tutoring services for students in grades 5-12*, focusing primarily (but not exclusively) on Virginia’s core subjects as defined by the VDOE:
Core curriculum – The body of knowledge that all students are expected to learn in the subjects of English, mathematics, history, social science, and science.
– VDOE Glossary of Education Terms
This includes, but is not limited to math, science, and language arts (reading and writing—literacy). Additionally, we have recently expanded to handle certain foreign languages, test prep, and more. We have plans to expand our subject offerings in the future as we continue to grow.
*In some cases, we will work with students under grade 5 if the student is reasonably able to be tutored online since we are not an in-person program.
Do you offer in-person tutoring services?
No. We are a 100% virtual tutoring program. All students will require a proper internet connection and a quiet environment in order for our sessions to be effective.
Can you offer tutoring sessions in subjects beyond math, science, and English?
We can certainly attempt to pair your family with the right tutor, although there may be certain requests we are unable to fulfill at times.
Rest assured, we are actively working towards expanding our services to meet a broader range of needs.
Do you offer tutoring services for students outside of Virginia?
No, we do not offer our tutoring services outside of the state of Virginia right now. The only exception may be when a family relocates away from Virginia and desires to stay with us.
What is the cost structure for your tutoring services?
It starts at $275 per month for a single hour-long session each week, totaling 4 sessions per month.
Our cost structure is designed to encourage long-term relationships. Recent developments in highly effective tutoring program models, such as high-impact tutoring, have shown repeatedly that targeted instruction at regular intervals are very important for success. We cannot help your child become all that they can possibly be by merely reviewing homework twice per month.
If that is what you are looking for, we highly recommend finding a local college student and paying them to help your child in order to give back to your community while furthering your child’s learning.
Can you accommodate students with special needs or learning differences?
While we can certainly attempt to pair your family with the right tutor, please note that as we are in our initial launch phase, there may be certain requests we are unable to fulfill at this time. Rest assured, we are actively working towards expanding our services to meet a broader range of needs.
How do you handle scheduling and rescheduling of tutoring sessions?
Our comprehensive service agreement covers all operational details. We maintain high standards for our tutors, emphasizing punctuality and professionalism. Similarly, we request our clients to maintain comparable standards.
