Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving Maryland

...loved writing and reading since I was a little girl. However, it wasn't until I started volunteer as a tutor while pursuing my bachelor's that I found my passion for teaching. After I graduated from Tennessee State University, I started working as a private English tutor. I specialize in helping students connect the readings to the skills they need: critical reading and thinking. I work at the student's pace in order to give them the...

...and learning from my students over the course of the year. My Master's degrees in History and Library and Information Science are from the University of Maryland. Because of my passion for aerospace history, during my time at UMD I worked as a teaching assistant for a course on NASA's Apollo Program. With a broad range of interests, I'm available to tutor Reading/Writing components on standardized tests, general classroom writing, History (US/World/Music) and Literature.

Hello! My name is Serene and I am a first-year biology major at the University of Virginia. I enjoy reading, writing, and cooking delicious meals for my family! :-)

...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 stages. Finally, I love to learn and I...

...in order to help others achieve their goals. In the years since, I have built multiple businesses, worked as a tech developer, and spoken around the country. Through it all, I never stopped taking what I have learned and spreading the knowledge to others. Now, I have nearly five years of experience tutoring and mentoring students in subjects such as algorithms, object-oriented programming, computer systems, advanced calculus, applied statistics, leadership, public speaking, a variety of...

...in education while teaching in an under-resourced school in Dallas, Texas. There I taught the skills of effective writing, speaking, and listening to students in grades 6 through 8 in grammar, vocabulary, literature, and writing classes. I would like to continue helping students realize their full potential by tutoring them in what I am most passionate about--the art of the written and spoken word. I now live in Washington, D.C., and am eager to continue...

...to succeed in the world; and the ability to read critically and write effectively are some of the strongest ones. My teaching experiences in 6th, 5th, and 3rd grade, as well as my peer tutoring in college, have given me a range of strategies for helping students learn to be effective readers and writers. As a bookworm and writer myself, I strive to find the strategies that I myself use that will help everyone, even...

...studying, I'm rehearsing with the Musical Theater Club or hiking. When I'm studying, my goal is to make sure I understand why I'm doing whatever I'm doing. Whether it's Chinese grammar or a calculus problem, I want to know the reasoning behind each step. The same is true for my tutoring style. I believe it's important that students know why they are doing what they are doing, so they can solve problems when they are...

...studies, political science (my area of expertise!), history, and have worked with college admission essay prep, resumes, and paper editing of all kinds. I am here to assist you in anyway possible and help you grow as a student or professional! I was a tutor in college and love to find ways to apply the material to real life. I feel like making what you are studying applicable helps you understand what you are trying...

...and Infectious Diseases. I then went on to complete a Masters program at Georgetown University in human physiology. Given the amount of schooling I have gone through myself, I have taken a wide range of subjects and more standardized tests than I would like to admit. I have taught students of almost every age in various fields such as elementary science, Hebrew, chemistry, MCAT prep, and many more.. My ultimate plan is to go to...

...of my classes stressed the value of effective communication, so I was taught how to present information about several topics. I believe that in order for someone to learn a subject they have to be interested in the material. As a tutor, I will strive to get the student invested in the lessons and teach them the information in memorable ways. My majors in biology and environmental studies have left me experienced with several topics...

...fourth grade students during my senior year. It was rewarding to watch the students grasp new concepts, test new teaching strategies, and see the results. After graduation, I joined the US Peace Corps where I provided community health education at a village health center. Instructing village health staff in community education techniques allowed me to refine my own abilities to transmit information. Working with a language barrier, I learned how to break down complex ideas...

We can cover pretty much any technical topic you would like: - intro programming in a language of your choice - algorithms and data structures - computer architecture - discrete mathematics and proofs - operating systems - encryption/decryption - computer and network security Given the complexity of some of these topics, I will often ask if you would like me to draw a picture or to...

...all ages in the areas of reading, writing, and math, and I have continued to prepare students for the SAT and ISEE. In general, about half of my students are doing test preparation and half are getting some kind of help with school. At the tutoring center where I worked, we had a number of students who were being tutored in order to become very advanced in their studies at school and to gain admission...

...look to be the same role model for younger students today. I realize the importance of having a comfortable and fun learning environment, so I make sure that all of my sessions are informal and open, while still being very efficient. Let's learn together. I tutored students throughout pursuing my high school and college degrees. I have worked with high school students to study prealgebra, algebra, geometry, and calculus. I have experience working with homeschool...

...give back to the educational community. School is such an important part of our lives and I genuinely enjoy mitigating the stress of students of all ages. Confidence in your ability to learn is a wonderful feeling that we should be striving to create in students and this confidence will hopefully spill over into other areas of life. Apart from tutoring, I enjoy walking along the waterfront, particularly when free food tents are present. I...

I have spent a lot of time tutoring people of all ages -- I have worked with preschoolers, kids in elementary school, and adults. I really like to learn and experience as much as I can: I spent a year teaching in Korea and another four months traveling the globe. I hope that my enthusiasm is infectious!

...(/ "Chanoyu"/"Chad") intensively in Japan, living and working in a Japanese linguistic context. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I most enjoy tutoring in Japanese, and the challenge of teaching the critical thinking required for classes in literature, history, religions, or the social sciences. My academic journey has given me a broad appreciation for interdisciplinary, and a passion for teaching and helping others come to understand the subjects they are studying, especially...

...My tutoring experience includes working with extended family members in middle school, for other tutoring companies, and as a helper in my children's classrooms over the years. I have seen the young people I tutor soar to new heights with a little bit of extra help that builds confidence and independence. Also, I have also been tutored myself so I know how it feels to sit on the other side of the desk! Overall, my...
