Tutoring in Virginia
Tutoring for Virginia students, K-12 and college, matched one-on-one with a degreed tutor. Sessions are built around SOL and your student's classroom curriculum, plus SAT, ACT, and AP exam prep.
Tutoring built around Virginia classrooms.
Blackmon Tutoring serves Virginia students, including families around Lynchburg and the Blue Ridge region. Every student is matched with a tutor based on subject, grade level, and learning style, then meets on a shared digital whiteboard.
Virginia families come to us for everything from elementary reading support to SOL-aligned subject tutoring and SAT/ACT coaching for college-bound students.
Every tutor holds a bachelor's or master's degree, and many are certified classroom teachers. Several specialize in supporting students with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences, in addition to standard subject tutoring and test prep.
What is SOL?
The state assessment Virginia families ask us about most.
Standards of Learning assessments
Virginia's Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments test reading, writing, math, science, and history at various grades, with end-of-course SOL tests in high school for subjects like Algebra I and Biology. Passing certain SOL tests is part of Virginia's graduation requirements.
Because several SOL tests are tied to graduation requirements in high school, Lynchburg-area families often prioritize tutoring in a specific SOL subject as soon as a student is struggling in that course, rather than waiting until the test is scheduled.

What Virginia families should know about tutoring.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most before a Virginia family books their first session.
What are the Virginia SOL assessments, and why do they matter?
The Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments test reading, writing, math, science, and history. In high school, passing certain SOL end-of-course tests, like Algebra I or Biology, is part of Virginia's graduation requirements.
Does a student have to pass every SOL test to graduate in Virginia?
Virginia requires a minimum number of verified SOL credits across specific subject areas to graduate, not every single SOL test, but a failing score in a required subject area still needs to be addressed, which is why early support matters.
How does tutoring work for a Virginia student?
Your student meets their tutor on a shared digital whiteboard at a scheduled time each week. Notes and practice problems are shared after each session so progress is easy to track.
When should test prep start before the SAT or ACT?
As a general guide, start SAT or ACT prep 12-16 weeks before a student's target test date, with weekly or twice-weekly sessions depending on the score gap and timeline.
