I also speak Spanish at an advanced level and have...

I'm a Maryland native who loves good music, dramatic movies, and travel. Another one of my favorite things is working with students from all walks of life; I've been happily tutoring and mentoring for more than four years.

The steps for good writing are all about thinking and planning ahead no matter if you...

In addition to my experience with undergraduate and graduate students, I have spent several years as an after-school counselor,...

...is such an important part of our lives and I genuinely enjoy mitigating the stress of students of all ages. Confidence in your ability to learn is a wonderful feeling that we should be striving to create in students and this confidence will hopefully spill over into other areas of life.

Hi my name is McKenna! I'm a current college student who is studying speech pathology and psychology. I want to help children express themselves and succeed on their learning journey. I believe teaching should be personalized for the learner and that learning shouldn't be a bore or struggle. I have taken courses to teach various ages from elementary to AP high school level.

I have spent my life teaching and tutoring English and speech to students ages 16 to 80 in countries around the world. I have a BA in English and Theatre and an MA in Theatre and Journalism. I'm passionate about helping students be better communicators in English and to learn to love presenting.

...crib to cane, basically. How can that help your child? Well, I really know how memory is formed, retained, and recalled, and what it looks like when something is not happening the way it should. I can usually pinpoint an issue quickly, and work in a slightly different way from other tutors. I have solutions for many learning challenges. For example, I once had a 3rd grader who wasn't reading fluently, and her comprehension was...
