Up near the very tip of Virginia, tucked into the northeastern corner, you’ll find Reston. Reston is a well-planned suburban community that boasts a thriving town center, rich in amenities and job opportunities. Ranked within the top ten best places to live in the United States back in 2012, Reston is a wonderful place to live and a fun place to visit.
Reston was founded in the 1960s, so it isn’t the oldest city in this area of the country by any stretch of the imagination. With many modern designs and a vision to create an ideal place to live, the founder of Reston was a wealthy landowner that developed this area with money from selling Carnegie Hall. The preservation of open spaces, natural areas, and parks was important in the development of Reston.
Known to be an international example of planned communities, Reston has received much attention from around the world, including being featured in scholarly journals and being visited by famous people. Different sections of the community of Reston take on various personalities, as each has a unique style. For example, one of the early community developments was inspired by the architecture of the Italian port city of Portofino. This area is known as Lake Anne Plaza, and the lakeside environment is beautiful and pristine.
With a close proximity to Washington D.C., many folks that live in Reston work in Washington D.C., and find the commute to be very easy. The quieter, suburban community life of Reston is attractive to many who would rather settle outside of the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C. One of the largest issues that residents of Reston face is the lack of mass transit. Traffic can be a problem during certain times of day, especially between Reston and Washington D.C.
Residents of Reston love that there are so many community events throughout the year. A few local favorites include a seasonal Farmers Market, the Greater Reston Arts Center Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival, and the Reston Festival. Other holiday parades and celebrations are family friendly events that bring many visitors from surrounding communities as well.

Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
