Premier Private Tutoring in Arlington, VA
Magellan Tutoring has worked with Arlington students since 2012. Tutors meet students at home, at an Arlington library branch or online, and plan every session around their APS classes, from elementary reading to IB and AP courses.
Serving Arlington Students
Arlington Public Schools sets a high bar. Whether your child is taking AP or IB courses at Washington-Liberty, Yorktown or Wakefield, studying at Arlington Tech or H-B Woodlawn, or building foundations at a middle school like Swanson, Williamsburg, Gunston or Jefferson, our tutors plan sessions around APS courses and the timing of Virginia SOL tests.
Families often come to us at a turning point: a tough first year of middle school, a jump into IB or AP courses, or an SAT date on the calendar.
Our Arlington Services
- Advanced STEM: AP and IB math and science, from Precalculus and Calculus to Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
- Humanities & Writing: English papers, IB essays and literary analysis, with help planning, drafting and revising.
- Test Prep: Digital SAT and ACT prep timed around the APS calendar.
- Foundational Support: Reading fluency, writing and math facts for APS elementary students.

How Private Tutoring in Arlington Works
A simple process to find personalized academic support that fits your child’s needs, goals, and schedule.
Tell Us What Your Child Needs
Request private tutoring in Arlington and share a little about your child’s current subjects, academic goals, and the type of support you’re looking for.
Get Matched With the Right Tutor
Our team will learn more about your child and match them with a tutor based on their academic needs, learning style, availability, and preferred in-home or online format.
To help us find the right fit, be prepared to discuss:
- Scheduling: A few days and times that work well for your family.
- Academic Needs: The subjects, challenges, and goals your child is working on.
- Learning Approach: Anything that helps us understand how your child learns best.
Start With a 1-Hour Session
Your child starts with a risk-free first session. When you continue, that hour becomes the first hour of a six- or nine-month plan with the same tutor and weekly slot, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers every plan.
