...whole life, whether it has been academics, career advice, or standardized testing, I have always helped those around me strive to do better. My parents raised me to be kind and understanding, but I also have the courage and ability to be honest in order to help people improve themselves. I spent four years in college as an editor of a constitutional democracy journal, culminating in the position of editor in chief, so reading, writing,...

...Bond series, and I tear through John Grisham books. For my money, there is no better feeling than when a quality fountain pen flows with ease along well made paper. A little about my tutoring style. I consider myself more of a guide than an answer checker. Perhaps its more to do with the subjects I tutor, but I've found that simply telling someone the answer doesn't do them any good. Sure, in the short...

...major, I have a nuanced understanding of how grammar works and, further, of how to conceptualize it and explain it in terms that a student will understand. When a student is having difficulty with a grammatical concept, I begin by explaining it with reference to concepts that they do understand; I then guide them through creating example sentences with the concept until I am confident that they understand the concept and can identify and use...

Since I was a teenager, I've always valued giving people educational opportunities, from my library-building project in West Africa to helping out my friends on projects or academics. While I tutor a big range of subjects, I'm most interested in the subjects that I will pursue in college, alongside mathematics. I wholeheartedly believe education is an absolute necessity...

...in a particular subject area because that was me in most math classes since middle school. Luckily, I was able to get solid math tutors throughout those years who taught me not only math skills, but also showed me how a good tutor can empower a student to solve problems on their own. I hope to not just support my students to succeed on tests and in class but empower them to thrive holistically.... I would...

I'm committed to a partnership with each of my students (I expect to learn a lot, too!), so I strongly encourage them to contact me with questions or just to chat. Please reach out! Thank you!

...but not waste the time and resources of the family I am working for. I will keep your student engaged and highly productive while enjoying themselves. I will also leave them with study skills they can apply across all of their subjects. My multidisciplinary background also enables me to answer a quick question outside the subject I am hired to teach. Outside of school, I am an avid reader, hiker, and love exploring the D.C....

...have enjoyed teaching in Prince George's County Public School System for 6 years. I had the opportunity to work at both ends of the proverbial elementary spectrum. In fourth grade, I taught 9-and-10-year-olds science and math and as a kindergarten teacher I focused mostly on teaching children to read and basic mathematics. These very different experiences have provided me with a deeper, more meaningful understanding of what students need to be successful both academically and...

...trying to learn something. All of the layers and nuances seem intimidating and peculiar at first, but once you get an idea of how and why everything is connected, it all starts to make sense and the material becomes a lot more palatable. One thing I learned from tutoring government (and one of my favorite parts of tutoring as a whole) is how incredibly satisfying it is when someone is finally comfortable and confident with...
