Award-Winning Latin Tutors serving Rockville, MD

...heads. I enjoy tutoring one-on-one since I have found that engaging a student directly in the learning process helps him/her to understand (and remember) the topic more fully, rather than letting them get by on just rote memorization that is forgotten once the test is over.

...minored in Mathematics. I have tutored students in math, economics, physics, violin, and music publishing for five years. My favorite subject is math because it involves critical thinking and universal concepts.

The process of refining ideas through writing is deeply rewarding for me.

I...
