Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

...Virginia working towards a double major in sociology and public policy with a minor in political science. I am an IB graduate and IB diploma recipient with years of tutoring experience for students elementary through high school. I tutored most often in English, history, Spanish, biology, and chemistry. I was also an IB mentor helping high schoolers work through the diploma. My approach to tutoring is to cater to the way the student learns best....

...different types of problems with the students so that they can really understand all the aspects of a concept. Once the students understand the concepts well, I go through quick and efficient ways to solve them with different math tricks. Depending on the student's ability, we could cover cover one concept per session, or multiple concepts per session. I will stay on the same topic until the student fully understands it, so the pace will...

...subjects and grades, but I particularly enjoy getting to teach and develop the close-reading skills of my students. Close-reading, critical analysis, and clear writing are the foundations for any ELA, history, or social science class. Those are also some of the hardest skills to learn in a classroom setting. With our one-on-one time I'm able to get my students to more deeply and personally engage with the material, ultimately resulting in a richer understanding that...

I have had a lot of experience working in the classroom as a teacher's assistant, and mentoring students one on one as well. I received an education in the humanities, but I'm comfortable with all subjects at the lower levels as well. I like teaching because it gives me the opportunity to learn as well, along side the student.... When I begin working, the first thing I try to do is get to know the student...

...sophomore at UPenn. I am also a 2016 graduate of the Thomas Jefferson HS for Science and Technology. I have been tutoring for the past 5+ years and I especially love teaching middle school students. I have experience tutoring ESL (English as a Second Language), Algebra, test taking skills, Secondary School Admissions Testing, and essay writing skills. In my teaching, I like to incorporate detailed explanation, guided walk-throughs, and use of visual resources to teach...

...in 2007 and my M.A. in English from Clemson University in 2009. I am currently a PhD candidate in English at the University of Maryland, where I teach a variety of college level courses, including composition and literature courses. I am very invested in working one-on-one with students on critical writing and critical reading skills. Both sets of skills involve analytical thinking, but they also involve creative thinking. It is the interplay between the analytical...

...experience tutoring students throughout my time in high school and in college. I have previously worked for 2 years at KUMON where I tutored students in all levels of mathematics up to Calculus as I worked with students K-12. In my time tutoring through KUMON and also serving as a peer tutor in my school, I have worked with a diverse group of students and have used a multitude of different teaching methods, depending on...

Engaging teacher during the day... engaging tutor in the evenings!

...and Finance. I have been a part of teams my entire life and I feel happiest when I help my team succeed. I had the privilege of teaching high school math in Detroit, MI where I helped hundreds of kids succeed and reach their goals in math. I am always happy to help and I firmly believe anyone can be good at math - we might just have to learn it differently.

Education is a third career for me after extensive experience in international diplomacy and the investing world. I am a graduate level instructor for an online university in international relations, law and business plus public sector management and communications. I also tutor secondary and middle school students in reading, writing and SAT/ACT test prep (non-math). I have worked successfully with TOEFL students.

...political science subjects. When I was in high school, I graduated top 5% of my class and took various AP, IB, and honors classes. I was a formal graduate from the IB program. I received a 34 on the ACT writing portion and a near perfect score on the SAT writing portion. After high school, I went to college and was admitted into law school with a scholarship. I was an editor on my law...

...have taught high school biology, chemistry and physical science and have tutored in SAT Math prep there as well. My favorite moments of teaching were marked by students saying "I get it" -- especially after a long struggle to understand but everything finally makes sense and the light bulb just turned on. In helping students grasp very abstract concepts, I attempt to give examples that are more tangible and that the students can relate to...

...my favorite parts of my current job is interacting with law student interns and paralegals and teaching them about the law. I do not get to do that often enough though, and so I thought of tutoring as a great way to be able to teach more students. I excel at Writing, Literature, Grammar, and History, and I use to be pretty mean at Math and Geometry and have been reacquainting myself with those subjects...

Education changes lives. Guided by mentors, I found purpose in helping others. I empower students, bridging gaps and fostering resilience. I'm committed to equal opportunities for all in learning and success.

...at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm studying Political Science and English, with other directed concentrations in French and Marketing courses.

I am very interested in education, and I have spent lots of time studying different education systems and teaching methods. I believe that every single student has a unique way of learning...

...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 socially at different developmental...

...a variety of subjects. I am proficient in a wide range of subjects primarily centered on the biological sciences and mathematics. With that said, my favorite subject to tutor for is test preparations for the ACT and SAT as although the exams are rigorous, there is a definite method for learning to take the tests and improving performance. Helping students through these stressful exams is highly rewarding as there is a very tangible benefit from...

I'm a former English teacher, published writer and currently employed by the Department of Education. I have a passion for helping individuals gain the tools they need to continually improve their quality of life.

...in college. I have also been offering online tutoring for a couple of years now. Online tutoring is probably my favorite way to tutor because it allows me to be more available to you, and I can utilize online tools to make your session with me even better. If you are somebody who prefers in-person lessons, I am still very happy to do that as well. Do you learn a specific way? No problem! My...
