Award-Winning Literature Tutors in Washington DC

...mentors. Education is a field that I hope to pursue as a career and there is nothing more crucial to the project of education than fostering positive relationships with students. Tutoring is a great way to begin to do that. I also have a real passion for the subjects I tutor, History, English, and French. The best part about tutoring is helping students to feel the same way about history and language as I do....

...caring for on average twenty children ages 5-10. Then I began professionally tutoring through my high school when I was sixteen until I was eighteen.

I also assisted them in Spanish (all levels), AP classes, PSAT skills, and SAT skills. My greatest strength is assisting students get more organized and take better notes when they...

...is difficult, nearing impossible to learn in an uncomfortable or unwelcoming environment. I would like to help students feel comfortable, heard, able to ask questions and free to make mistakes in the process. I want to reinforce the message that not naturally knowing or understanding something is not a deficiency! It is simply an area in which one can make greater improvements, especially with the help of a friendly and encouraging guide. I want to...

...incorporating it in my major, but so far I have spent lots of time studying different education systems and teaching methods. I believe that every single student has a different way of learning and processing information, so it is important for them to develop their own studying habits and learning methods.

...my MS in Education, both from Johns Hopkins University. When I'm not thinking about educational issues or the next day's lesson plan, I'm going to concerts, doing yoga, or reading.

After graduating with a degree in philosophy, my conscience left me with no choice but to find a job doing something meaningful. Like Aristotle, I think the ability to think for yourself is essential to living a happy life. Like Socrates, I think inquiry is essential to cultivating this ability. I love people and I love conversation. To engage personally while exchanging and inspiring ideas is, for me, one of life's greatest pleasures.... I strive to...

I apparently aspire to have a resume similar to The-Most-Interesting-Man-In-The-World's. As a teacher, I...

...will inform them for life. My style of tutoring is what I call "gradual release:" we will set your goals and practice skills together until you are able to do them on your own! I love cooking, reading, and watching football and baseball, and enjoy mashing any of my hobbies together (want me to make a huge Super Bowl spread of food? Yes, please!). I look forward to meeting with you and helping your achieve...

I graduated from the International Baccalaureate Program at Richard Montgomery, and was an AP Scholar with distinction. I love working with people to help promote understanding, especially in the areas of math and science.... Teaching style should strongly depend on the student, else you risk either wasting time...

...over 300 hours of volunteer tutoring. I am very passionate about learning (some may say that I am a nerd!) and strongly believe in learning because one genuinely desires to become knowledgable in the subject, rather than studying to master an exam. It is my utmost desire to watch my students grow and excel. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and playing the violin, as well as watching netflix and hanging out with...

...Paris, France, Pristina, Kosovo and Washington, D.C. My tutoring experience is very diverse. In undergrad, I worked as a course assistant for a French language and culture course, teaching select topics in class, creating curriculum, and holding office hours for a small class of 6 students. I also have worked as a statistics tutor for my college and a French tutor for my high school. Furthermore, I have extensive proofreading and editing experience as I...

...math and physics. As a tutor, I emphasize patiently guiding my student to the correct answer, rather than giving it to them. I believe this method is the best way for the student to master the material. I enjoy the "aha!" moment my students have when the concept finally clicks. In my free time, I work on my two tea businesses. During my senior year at Rice, I founded a student-run boba tea business. We...

...of course is a Specialized High School! I tutor all subjects including test prep i.e the SHSAT& HSPT. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I love solving problems and there is always a right answer! I believe that every student has their own way of understanding and learning different concepts. I ask questions and listen to my students so I can pinpoint the problem areas. To learn well you have to maintain a...

...we truly impact their lives. Without these bonds, meaningful learning simply isn't possible. Of course, if we truly care about our students, we must be properly equipped to help prepare them for the educational standards they must meet, and more importantly, life after high school. I love English; the big questions it grapples with, its real world application, and the creativity it inspires in students. I strive to have that passion show every time I...
