Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving Alexandria, VA

Teaching and tutoring are my passion because they give me the opportunity to have a positive impact on my students' learning experiences as I help them reach their full potential. My experiences as a French Teacher's Assistant at Carleton College and a Summer Science Teacher at Breakthrough-Minneapolis have taught me to utilize different tutoring and teaching techniques to accommodate students with different learning styles. I look forward to working with you!

...teaching a 2nd grade class in Liberia. I'm comfortable not only with tutoring, but also as a teacher, using a curriculum (including Common Core standards) to craft an individualized learning plan for a student and finding a variety of resources and lesson plan strategies that fit their learning styles to help them succeed. Given my experience, I'm also very comfortable working with students who are behind or overage for their grade, have reading related learning...

...students after school in reading and math, at home tutoring, and ran a program for high school credit recovery in that district. My favorite subject to tutor is reading because reading lays the foundation for all other learning. I am passionate about instilling the love of learning in others and I use that passion to help students become successful not only in what I am teaching but in life as well. I think it is...

...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 currently have 13 student employees and continue to grow. I'm also currently working on opening a boba tea business in the DC area.

I am a second grade educator who loves seeing students grow! ... Every student is like a crayon; all different, all sharp and all an awesome part of completing the box!... Discuss their needs and where they feel they are in their academics.... Giving them tools to be successful across all content areas.... Constant encouragement and celebrating the small success!... Motivate them to keep trying and redirect my instruction.... Give them skills to assist with...

...we analyze the information and its meaning), synthesis (where the student and I make a study guide and flashcards together) and evaluation (where we go over the whole of the curriculum using the review materials we've created together to prepare for the student's examination.) I provide all students with mini quizzes, problem sets, and flashcards to keep their skills fresh while also keeping them actively engaged. I also encourage them to relax and reward them...

...track of their progress to show them their growth and to encourage them. It's important for me to connect with the student and keep them in conversation with me, with the subject, with their work, and with their progress. In addition to the above and outside of the academia, I also enjoy working with animals, volunteering for and engaging myself with the mental health conversation and organizations, international politics and trends (again, the intersection of...

...in qualifying field exams--and a deep understanding of international relations and international business, along with fluency in more than one foreign language. I have teaching experience at the university level and have helped many students make their way through difficult topics. I have a good understanding of the needs of students in the region's public and private schools, and strive to help my students not just pass their subjects, but to excel.... My first priority in...

...each skill. I try to provide my own problems for my students to help them get used to the skill. I also like to help my students think of shortcuts for each skill. I like to show multiple ways to solve the problems so students have a wide range of options to choose from. My love for school sometimes extends outside of the classroom. I love to read so I'm not a complete math geek....

...reading and doing math at a 1st grade level and up in an intense specials rotation. I know how to work with students of all ages. The work I do with my own students on a daily basis is the same dedication and level of differentiation that I would bring to students that I tutor. I love working with students and I believe that all students can make goals and in turn reach them.... I believe...

...I shouldn't evade questions about psychology, I should embrace them. Now, when confronted about my choice of major, I am afforded the opportunity to engage in a dialogue not only about the field of Psychology in general, but about Industrial and Organizational Psychology and its contributions to the community at large. Learning is a continuous process. Now, organizations are taking it upon themselves to consistently train employees in order to maintain a strategic edge. Learning,...

...I also have my CELTA certification, which means I have extra experience working with English Language Learners. Although I am certified to tutor many different subjects, my favorite subjects have always been Social Studies, History, English, and Literature. I am a voracious reader and trivia buff who especially enjoys science fiction, fantasy, and history books. I am also a creative writer in my spare time, and I enjoy many different kinds of music and movies.

...continued to be my greatest skill, and what I continue to develop at higher and higher levels. My work at the Financial Times, and DBC UK has imbued me with the ability to work hard, learn on the job, respond well to criticism and advice, and manage groups. Working on many editorial boards within a University setting has also given me the skills to manage both a team and my time, as well as being...

...about learning and took as many courses as possible in college including courses in chemistry, physics, biology and opera performance. I am also passionate about teaching. I live for that 'ah-ha' moment when you can see a concept click in a students mind. I believe in teaching not only how but why, and insist on finding real life applications to keep students engaged. When I am not tutoring I work for the Navy as a...

...because both the student and I can simultaneously improve in a process that never ceases to make us better. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy pretty much any activity that gets me outside, especially if that outside happens to be in the woods or near the beach (I am from Florida after all...). While outside, I usually find myself running (again, in the woods if possible), reading, or attempting to channel my inner-Ron Swanson by...

...help my students do well in their own experiences. I love to travel and experience new things, and I love to integrate my experiences into my learning and my life.

I am however comfortable teaching math, history, and especially the sciences, including biology, psychology, and...

...University in May 2012 with a degree in Government and English. I have taught middle and high school students in DC and South Africa, as well as tutored undergraduate students at Georgetown. I believe everyone has the necessary tools to be successful in the classroom. I am not an expert in any one subject, but I do enjoy helping students draw on their strengths to unlock expertise they may not have realized they possessed.

...to make it matter to you and not just because "it's on the exam" (always my least favorite response when I asked "why do we have to know this?"). Learning is important and knowledge is important and succeeding academically is important. But the most important thing you should take away from a good education is the ability to think. Think broadly, think critically, and think for yourself. It's a skill I've come to value more...

...school at New England Law|Boston in Boston, MA. I currently practice law as an immigration attorney in Herndon, VA.
