...& Mary. I graduated high school in 2021 with a GPA of 4.3 after completing the IB diploma, with honors in English, Math, Chemistry, and History. Throughout middle & high school, I tutored peers in math & Latin topics, and I led an after-school club at Fairview Elementary to develop reading comprehension & public speaking skills. I love working with students of all ages, though my primary experience has been with grades 3-10.

...History. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Latin, European History, and anything to do with grammar! My teaching style is fluid; I like to incorporate other disciplines so that I can help my students develop their weaknesses by playing to their strengths. I believe strongly in the value of a liberal arts education, and I hope I can inspire students to think about how all academic subjects relate...

In addition, MultiCultural Reading and Thinking (MCRaT) provides strategies useful in a diverse range of materials.

The strategies and techniques I have garnered from these processes supplement and...

I know what it's like to be eager about learning, but not have the natural ability to be a fast learner, and I'm ready to share the tips and tricks that I've gathered with other students who want to become better learners as well. In high school, I spent...

I am happy to tutor in any of these subjects and share my interest in the discovery and debates around them with students!

I have always been passionate...

...in Washington, DC. In this role I work in a math classroom and lead small group tutoring sessions. I focus on both academic support and social-emotional learning.

...learning even more about how to be the best culturally responsive teacher I can be. Before working in DC Public Schools, I studied English at Sewanee: The University of the South and worked there as a writing tutor for three years.

I have some tutoring experience, having worked with two fourth-grade aged children on their English skills, including grammar, spelling, essay writing, and other subjects encompassed within a language arts class. I am however comfortable teaching math, history, and especially the...

My coursework in Greek Mythology, Greek Literature, Ancient Technology, Etruscan History, Celtic Archaeology and Greek Civilization allowed me the opportunity to develop excellent research,...

...high school environmental/earth science and biology. Likewise, as someone who had and still has a wide range of intellectual and personal interests, I love connecting with high schoolers as they begin to contemplate their own path and passions. I have also worked as a elementary school educator, and as such have 2+ years of experience trying to get elementary and middle-school age students more excited about math, reading, and writing. I really enjoy working with younger...

...adults, sometimes together. Having somewhat recently been through the wringer of the college applications process, I know how grueling it can be, and can offer a compassionate, fun, and stress-free teaching style. I believe in building confidence by first identifying a student's strengths and knowledge. Students often know more than they think they do! Once I know where my students are coming from, I can build upon their existing knowledge and experience and help develop...

...struggle for a lot of people. I've hit those walls myself, but persistence and perseverance pay off in the end. I figured out a lot of ways to explain basic concepts, and in ways a non "math person" can understand. When I tutor more advanced subjects, I bring the same wealth of knowledge from multiple perspectives to my sessions. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, and when I don't know something, I'm eager...
