Award-Winning Spanish Tutors in Maryland

...Hopkins University in 2017, with a focus in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. I am currently in the process of applying to medical school. My academic history reflects my broad interests, and I am excited to share my passion for these subjects with my students. My best teachers were always energetic and passionate about their field, characteristics that I now emulate. I have experience as an after-school tutor, sex-ed teacher, and English/Spanish teacher.

...heavily on peer study sessions in college both helping and getting help from my friends. Throughout college, I was immersed deeply in the Latinx population as President of my sorority to Participant Liaison of a Latinx interest orientation program and finally the commencement speaker representing the Latinx population at UofM. Furthermore, I played rugby throughout college (as a Forward) and loved every minute of it! Eventually becoming captain, I felt I missed rowing quite a...

...summer camp (ages 4-10). I have also tutored English to high school students whose first language is Spanish. I am passionate about language learning to develop cognitive learning. In my experience, practicing speaking in one-on-one sessions are the most effective to immerse students into a language, rather than mostly practicing grammar and memorization. I am a firm believer of making learning fun and engaging, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my...

...China. I graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College with a B.A. in Anthropology and Chinese and a minor in International Studies. Throughout college, I worked as a research assistant, as a language instructor of Chinese and Spanish, and as team leader for college orientation, student life, and study abroad programs. In addition to being a bit of language nerd, I also enjoy spoken word poetry and terrible puns. I currently live in DC and am...

...minoring in education at Columbia University in New York. My passion for teaching began in high school when I started tutoring at a local homeschool co-op. I began as a teaching assistant in the school's preschool, and worked my way up each year. I later taught Spanish, math, and robotics to elementary and middle school students, and tutored high school students in math and science courses. Eventually, I assumed the role of administrator of the...

...love the progress of watching a student master a language and stay curious about a culture. I am passionate about writing and love the process of crafting an essay. Finally, I am strong in the skills of reading and writing test prep and enjoy sharing those skills with others. I believe that learning, at any age, must be student-driven, hands-on, and inquiry-based. I Ask questions - live in the mystery, rather than the answer. Outside...

Knowledge, is beauty! The world may take many things from you, but it cannot take away the knowledge that you have acquired.

...in Spanish Language and Literature, I have both taught and tutored the subject, which has enabled me to adjust to the distinct needs of each student who wants to expand their linguistic and cultural horizons. My experience tutoring mathematics has allowed me to build upon my own experience of learning math at an early age, and it has given me the vocabulary to adapt real-world scenarios into numerical sentences. I highly anticipate new threads in...

...this range of tutoring experiences I am still enthusiastic about helping people learn. My degrees taught me to love math and Spanish, and I also enjoy teaching English and editing writing. My tutoring philosophy is to personalize my lessons and focus on guiding the student through the material by asking questions, listening, and re-framing concepts to match the student’s learning style. In my free time I love to read, knit and crotchet, and paint.

I am a recent graduate of American University in Washington, DC, where I took many courses in English Language Teaching. Most of my tutoring experience is in ESL and Algebra, both of which fascinate me, but I am also very passionate about SAT tutoring. I love seeing students improve their understanding of the material and come to enjoy studying and learning, especially when the subject initially felt daunting.

...and that doesn't seem so foreign. As a tutor, I meet my students where they are, locate their specific difficulties, and try to keep things fun and engaging. Verb tables and vocab lists are important, but so are movie clips, song lyrics, newspaper articles, and other real-world materials. When I'm not teaching or tutoring you can find me strolling, sauntering, meandering and occasionally moseying through the neighborhoods and side streets of my home-city, Baltimore, MD.

I am a recent graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I graduated VCU with a 4.0 GPA and a degree in biology. During my time there I worked in a variety of tutoring positions in biology and organic chemistry and tutored a variety of people including both high school and college students.

...I enjoy working with kids. Watching them comprehend and master new concepts brings me great personal satisfaction. I have a bachelor's degree in English from Towson University and a master's degree in library science from the University of Maryland, College Park, and I lived in Spain during college to improve my Spanish and expand my cultural appreciation and understanding. I greatly enjoy tutoring in writing and Spanish because language and communication are my most natural...

...two years I worked as a tutor for American University. From this experience I built some close, constructive relationships with students. I consider myself a successful tutor because of my ability to empathize with the students and connect with them on a personal level. Consequently, this trait makes me more patient with the students. I'm excited to be a part of the Varsity Tutors team, and am looking forward to starting more constructive relationships with...

...SSAT test preparation. My ability to effectively work with all ages allows me to intellectually grow. I am a passionate writer and understand the pressure students face in writing college application essays. My experience with college essays comes not only from helping students, but also writing essays for multiple schools when I was applying to college. I strongly believe that success is methodical and all students are capable of succeeding with the right regimen and...

...I am currently working at the NIH. I have experience tutoring college, high school, and middle school students. During tutoring sessions I like to pinpoint where the problem areas are and begin by working with students on the fundamentals. Once the basics are covered I like to work through problems together as a way to learn material, but ask that students spend some time studying topics at home/doing practice problems that we can go over...

...Teaching and Learning. My experiences at McGraw helped me refine the characteristics and skills it takes to be a good tutor: patience, empathy, preparedness, and enthusiasm. I have experience tutoring students from grades K-college. In my opinion, a tutors goal should be to help students develop and cultivate the learning methods that work best for them while keeping them as engaged as possible. Keeping this in mind allows students to leave sessions with an in...

...in general, I am well-versed in early modern European and American history (such as the Reformation, the Renaissance, and Colonization) and more recent American History. I am also proficient in Spanish, and I can supplement any high school Spanish course. My experience in the humanities also covers Linguistics, Sociology, Literature, and Writing. I believe History and Language are important aspects of a complete education and can be fun in the right hands.

...students, encouraging them to be confident, ask questions, and enjoy learning. I am currently a rising senior at the College of William and Mary, pursuing a double major in International Relations and Chinese Studies. My academic background equips me to tutor a diverse range of subjects, including English Writing (AP, IB, and non-AP/IB), History (Art History, European, World, American), Foreign Languages (Spanish, French, and Chinese), ESL/EL, Political Science, Economics (Macroeconomics and Microeconomics), and Social Studies....

...session with an empathetic mindset where I will help the student with whatever they're facing in an easy going way ensuring that they feel comfortable and at ease. I will never intimidate a student or make them feel bad for not knowing something because the truth is, everyone needs help in their education and some people just aren't willing to admit it! I look forward to meeting you and helping you learn :)
