We are seeking experienced, certified teachers and highly qualified educators to provide personalized, one-on-one tutoring to elementary and middle school students in the Fairfax, Virginia area. Our tutors work directly with students in their homes, creating focused learning environments where students can ask questions, build skills, strengthen confidence, and make meaningful academic progress.

This role is especially well suited for current or former elementary and middle school classroom teachers who enjoy the individualized nature of tutoring and want the opportunity to work closely with students outside of a traditional classroom setting.

About Prep Academy Tutors

Prep Academy Tutors provides premium, individualized tutoring designed around the unique needs of each student and family. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, we meet students where they are and develop instruction around their academic goals, learning style, strengths, and areas for growth.

Our Northern Virginia team is committed to delivering high-quality, relationship-based educational support in the comfort and convenience of students’ homes. We believe strong tutoring is about more than completing assignments—it is about helping students become more capable, confident, and independent learners.

• Reinforce classroom instruction, strengthen foundational skills, and help students master challenging concepts
• Assist with homework, organization, study strategies, and preparation for assessments and standardized tests
• Identify areas of academic difficulty and develop targeted strategies for improvement
• Establish positive, professional relationships with students and their families

• Maintain a professional, supportive, and productive in-home learning environment
• Travel to students’ homes throughout the Fairfax, Virginia area and surrounding Northern Virginia communities
