Clayborne Education

Clayborne Education is a tutoring service in Charlottesville, VA, that works with students, parents, schools, and communities on personalized academic programs. The company focuses on one-to-one engagement and individualized learning, offering college and graduate school entrance exam preparation (including the SAT, ACT, GMAT, GRE, and LSAT), subject tutoring, and organizational coaching. Clayborne has nurtured academic excellence in the greater Charlottesville area for nearly a decade, and the company reports serving hundreds of students each year. In addition to the Charlottesville office, Clayborne operates locations in Richmond, VA, and Chicago, IL. The practice test page notes that SAT and ACT practice tests are offered to Clayborne students every Saturday, barring major holidays. It holds a rating of 4.9 from its customers.

The company traces its roots to its founder's experience with classroom-based test prep and the impact of one-to-one coaching, a model it continues to refine. In October 2015, Clayborne deepened its reach and resources through the acquisition of Champion Tutoring, which it identifies as the oldest local tutoring company in Charlottesville. Leadership includes Founder and LSAT Program Director Clay Daniel, Chief Executive Officer and Lead Math Tutor Lee Elberson, and College Entrance Exam Program Director and Chief Operations Officer Scott Webster, supported by a staff of client care, finance, proctoring, and admissions advising personnel. The team of tutors covers executive-level instruction, master-level tutoring, and academic subjects alongside test preparation. SAT and ACT practice tests are scheduled every Saturday, and new clients can register through an intake manager.

The office sits on Harris Street, about a tenth of a mile from Preston Avenue and roughly a fifth of a mile from McIntire Road, with the Albemarle County Office Building around 0.1 miles away.

Prospective families can reach the Charlottesville location at 700 Harris Street, Suite 105, by phone at 434-260-3180 or by email at [email protected], where the team tailors each program to a student's strengths, challenges, and goals through diagnostics, practice tests, and a blend of content, strategy, and mindset coaching.
