Award-Winning Tutors from Georgetown University

When I was young, I struggled with school. I was more focused on my performance on the sports field than I was on my performance in the classroom. My love of learning came only after I spent several summers being tutored by fantastic teachers who helped me develop connections to the material in a way that was both relatable and fun. I learned the value of great educators those summers, and I came to appreciate the importance of strong communication between the student and educator.I received my Bachelor of Arts degrees in Government and Spanish from Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania and went on to receive a Master of Arts degree in Latin American Studies, with a concentration in inter-American Affairs, from the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Before moving to South Florida, I spent seven years in Washington, D.C. working in international affairs, as well as in government advocacy and public policy. I look forward to helping you with Spanish Language and Literature, History and Government, or Writing and English Language. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy playing sports, staying active, and finding fun, new recipes to cook.My goal as a tutor is not only to help you understand the material, but also to help you develop your own unique learning tools to benefit your long-term educational growth.

Georgetown grad, 45yrs old. I love mentoring students and watching them accelerate, not just excel. I truly take an interest in them and adjust to the way they learn.

I'm passionate about making complex accounting and finance concepts easier to understand! Accounting and finance can be difficult but I'm here to make that much easier for the people I work with! I'm a current graduate student at Georgetown University and have a Bachelor's in Accounting from the University of Utah. I also have spent 3 years working in public accounting doing a wide variety of accounting and finance-related work. I have experience in tutoring financial accounting, managerial accounting, and finance-related topics. I also have passed all 4 sections of the CPA exam (FAR, REG, AUD, and BAR specialty) as well as have a Financial Modelling and Valuation Analyst certification. I provide accounting and finance tutoring from the basics to in-depth CPA exam prep or other finance topics; whatever you need I will make sure you feel supported and learn what you need to be successful! I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions and bring their best self!

I've been preparing students to take GMAT and GRE exams for over 4 years. I work best with students who are looking for intense preparation and can commit to at least 2 hours a day of work. I create a structured curriculum tailored to each individual student. I've always enjoyed coaching students to take tests, because I can help them realize how to find patterns, crack codes and see the whole structure behind the puzzle. Getting better at tests is like any other sport. You have to train better, become efficient, increase confidence and develop basic skills that sharpen your thinking.

I am an undergraduate student at Georgetown University. I am getting my bachelor's of science in Biology of Global Health and completing a minor in Spanish. When tutoring, I operate under the idea of "no student left behind" meaning that no matter where the student begins in their journey, that we can work to bring them up to the best of their academic ability. I tutor Biology, Spanish and some math subjects, all of which are topics I really enjoy and would love to help you with. I understand that people have all sorts of learning styles and tactics, which is one of my favorite parts of tutoring, and I look forward to finding those effective learning strategies with you!

Hi, my name is Zach! I am a recent college graduate, having obtained a bachelor's degree with honors in International Politics from Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. I am currently enrolled in graduate school, pursuing a master's degree in Global, International, and Comparative History (also from Georgetown). My education has afforded me exposure to a wide variety of advanced history, international relations, and government courses, ranging from Global History and U.S. as a World Power to Congressional Politics and Comparative Political Systems. I am also experienced in academic research, having produced a senior thesis examining electoral politics and military policy. For each of the course topics I plan on tutoring, I have an ample degree of experience myself. I have taken AP United States History, AP American Government and Politics, and AP World History, in addition to a number of civics and English classes. I am also an alumnus of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, providing me with a globalized academic perspective. I have acquired considerable mentorship/teaching credentials over the past several years. Having tutored elementary, middle, and high schoolers both online and in-person, the ability to instruct and engage with students is a muscle I have actively toned. I also work periodically as a substitute teacher for K-12 classes, dealing with students of all nearly all ages and educational backgrounds. As a veteran of speech and debate, I do my best to captivate the classroom and make learning an enjoyable experience. Helping to bring young people out of their shell and make them invested in course content is a goal I set for myself universally.

Ankit graduated from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service with a degree in International Political Economy and is currently in his first year at Washington University School of Law. In high school, he was a state champion in debate and got 5's on 8 of his AP exams. Ankit has worked for two US Congressmen and an international economics think tank in India. After law school he will be attending Utrecht University in the Netherlands for his LL.M. and hopes to practice international law.Ankit is an avid fan of Tottenham Hotspur, the NY Giants and Georgetown Hoyas. He also loves standup comedy and has performed at the DC Improv. In addition to his academic tutoring, he was a tennis instructor at Raritan Valley Country Club.

As a professor at Boston University, my favorite part of the job has been working with students one-on-one. I love taking the time to go deeply into a subject with a learner and help him or her discover what makes it fascinating. Working on writing is another aspect of educating that I love; to draw out ideas, to make them clearer and more forceful, is very rewarding to me, and I love reading drafts and seeing the development of an argument or an original insight.I began working with students after I completed my BA at Georgetown University and went into a Master's program at NYU in Religious Studies. As a teaching assistant, I had the opportunity to talk to students about their papers and exams, and I discovered that I had a knack for getting people to relax and get into a subject, possibly because I love to tell corny jokes. While earning my PhD at Columbia University, I continued teaching, but I missed the more intimate setting of the small groups and office hours of NYU. I am excited to get back to working one-on-one as a tutor who helps with college essays, English grammar and composition, and edits essays of all kinds.

Originally from the Boston area, I completed my undergrad degree at Georgetown University in Washington where I focused on Marketing, International Business, and Spanish. I have lived and worked in Boston, Spain, Belgium, Washington, Brazil, and Afghanistan. I completed an MBA in Finance and International Management at Boston University in 2012 and am recently back in the Boston area again. I enjoy traveling and adventure.

Hey there! My name is Lauren and I am a former D1 heptathlete at Georgetown University! I graduated with a B.A. in Psychology with a Pre-Med concentration and I am currently on my way to law school! In my spare time you will catch me working out, eating (because I love food) or traveling! I love tutoring and I cant wait to meet y'all!

I'm retired from a long career in international business, with over 25 years living and working in Latin America. When teaching Spanish, I carefully consider the student's personal goals for learning the language. Is it to be able to communicate at work? Prepare for a test? Read academic texts in Spanish? Prepare for a mission trip? The student's goals will always guide my teaching approach because our success will be measured by attaining those goals.

I am a college graduate from Georgetown University. I have a large range of teaching experience from very young to adult. I have tutored students one-on-one and worked as an ESL Instructor at a college. I LOVE teaching! I am considered to have a caring approach and I try to make sure that learning takes place in a relaxed but studious situation.On my free time, I enjoy listening to music, dancing, exercising, and helping others.

I have always loved languages, writing, and foreign affairs. Consequently, it was no surprise that I chose to go to Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. Here, I majored in International Culture and Politics where I was able to become proficient in writing, political science, and economics. I also obtained my certification of French proficiency during a language immersion program while I studied abroad in Tours, France. As a result, I enjoy tutoring in many of these same subject areas, with writing and government being the two areas I most enthusiastic about.While in high school I tutored my peers in math, in college I tutored peers in writing, and I also tutored high school students in the Cristo Rey Network while I was at Georgetown as part of an academic externship. Yet, I enjoy working with students of all ages. A lot of my experience in working with younger students stems from having a large family with many younger cousins and other family members that I have been close with.My interest in working with a variety of people is what led me to law school where I largely focused on international law, criminal justice, immigration, and human rights. Through many experiences both in and out of the courtroom, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from all walks of life and many backgrounds. I believe that my passion for working with people, and my interest in making complex materials easily accessible to others, is what makes me a great tutor.I enjoy approaching materials from unique points of view so that students always have a fresh perspective on subjects they are uncomfortable with. I am a foodie and love cooking, so sometimes I enjoy using incorporating food into lesson plans. Lately, I have enjoyed playing tennis and cycling. I travel whenever possible, and I aim to live by learning something new everyday.

Education has a special place in my heart. I love to see my students reach their goals. It is even better when their learning accomplishments exceed their expectations. I have experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds. I strongly believe in a level playing field where students earn their grades. I'm only a facilitator. I have a Ph.D. and a Masters Degree from Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. My Ph.D. dissertation received Distinction. Outside of academia, I like to reconnect with old friends and making new friends.

I'm currently an undergraduate at Georgetown University majoring in Neurobiology on the pre-med track. Originally from the Research Triangle in North Carolina (Tar Heel state!), I graduated high school from Cary Academy. My area of expertise includes middle school subjects, high school/college Biology, high school/college Chemistry, and SAT test prep. I look forward to helping students build confidence and deepen their understanding in these challenging subjects. I believe in humor, practice, and positive reinforcement to help students grow inside and outside the classroom. I am also a lab research assistant studying Multiple Sclerosis (MS). As a college student, I'd be happy to give insights to the college application system and college experience. In my free time, you can find me on long walks/runs, cafe hopping, thrifting, playing any racket sports, and exploring places with my camera!

Teaching is absolutely inspiring. Nothing beats the "ah ha" moment a student gets when he or she realizes that they can achieve what they deemed "impossible." People are capable of much more than they think, and, often, it just takes a little encouragement for people to reach new potentials. I want my students to make connections and discover how much fun learning can be.As a tutor I strive to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students.

I am a Masters graduate in Biotechnology/Biomedical Sciences from Georgetown University and undergraduate from Lafayette College with a focus in Biology/Bioengineering. In my tenure of work, I have participated in 4 research labs pertaining to oncology, drug development and genetics. Outside of the laboratory, I have worked in pharmaceuticals, investment banking and tech startups where I currently hold a position in management consulting. In my free time I enjoy reading biographies, traveling the world, playing soccer/basketball and hiking. I love to tutor because I think education is one of the most important pillars to success. I started tutoring in high school and haven't stopped, constantly learning as much from the students I mentor as they learn from me.

I am a rising sophomore in Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I am majoring in security studies thinking about working in counterterrorism. As far as tutoring style, I think it is really important not to give the student the answers but to ask them questions and help them come up with strategies to get to the answer for themselves; the goal is to make myself unnecessary in a way. My strengths (in school and tutoring) are in foreign languages including Latin and humanitiesexpect a very enthusiastic tutor especially if we are talking about Shakespeare! I also think it is important to try and frame things in a context students are used to, so if that means watching She's the Man in order to understand Twelfth Night, then that's what we will do (although we do have to read the actual play as well). If that sounds like something you could use, get in touch!

I graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill with a dual BA in Economics and Psychology, with a Math minor. I also have a MBA from UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School with a Finance Concentration. I recently completed my MS in Finance from Georgetown. I have worked for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, investment banks, and a private equity firm; so, I have experience in the applied application of academic theory.I am adept at teaching economics and finance, as well as topics in math, statistics, business administration, and standardized testing including several of the Series Exams.My teaching philosophy begins with understanding a student's goals and helping them achieve success both inside and outside of the classroom. I can use elements of a student's background to relate complex subjects in a way that is more familiar with the student.Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan, lover of books and movies, meeting new people and hanging out with friends. I enjoy traveling, having been to 19 countries on 4 continents and 33 US states.I look forward to helping your achieve your goals.

I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.

As a current junior at Georgetown University pursuing a Bachelor's in International Political Economy, I have over three years of tutoring experience, specializing in SAT preparation and AP classes. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering enthusiasm and engagement; my excitement for the material directly influences my students' willingness to learn. I adapt my lessons in real-time to address individual needs, ensuring that every student feels supported and challenged. My experience includes working with diverse learners, ranging from high school students to elementary students in Costa Rica, where I refined my ability to connect across language barriers. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their academic goals, and I take pride in creating tailored, dynamic lesson plans that resonate with their interests. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring different cultures and languages, which enriches my approach to teaching.

Hello Friends! My name is Ms. Zachery and I currently teach 3rd grade. I have experience in K-12 classrooms though. I love teaching math in hands on ways as well as making learning as fun as possible. Learning through games is a favorite of mine. I hope you choose to continue learning with me!

I am a graduate of Georgetown University. I received my Bachelor of Arts and Science in Marketing and International Business. In college, I worked with both Georgetown University Young Scholars, a mentoring program and DC Reads, a program specifically designed to eradicate illiteracy in students of DC Public Schools. Through these programs, I worked with students from the age of 5 to 18 years old. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading, Comprehension and other English/Literature focused areas. Through my tutoring sessions, I make it a point to develop a trusting relationship with my students, opening an open dialogue and allowing for the most productive and effective sessions possible. I truly believe that education is a determinant of subsequent successes and as such, should be a priority in our communities. That is a mission that I strive to impart upon my students, their parents and members of my community.

I am a graduate from Georgetown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a minor in Music. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.I've always been passionate about mathematics. With a strong academic background in English and writing, I communicate abstract mathematical ideas in a way that is best suited to each of my students' needs. At some point in the (hopefully) near future, I'd like to go to back to school in order to then work full-time as a college professor of mathematics.Aside from academics, I'm passionate about music and soccer. I've been a guitarist for most of my life, and am eager to pick up and learn about any instrument I can get my hands on. I've also played soccer for about as long as I can remember. Most recently, I play in pickup leagues around Pittsburgh. In college, I was fortunate enough to captain the Georgetown University Men's Club Soccer team for two years.Thank you, and best of luck in your academic endeavors!

As a dedicated educator, I excel at finding and developing the potential of my students. I have been tutoring since I was a college student at Georgetown University in the 1990's. After graduation, I worked for four years on the trading floor of an Argentinian bank in New York City where I traded money markets and other instruments in three languages: English, Spanish and Portuguese, so I took a winding route back to the classroom, but I have now been teaching for more than 14 years in Texas.I am certified in English, ESL, Spanish, Composite Social Studies and dance. I have coached tennis and for the last 11 years have directed an award-winning ballet folklorico program. I also currently teach an AVID elective. AVID is a college prep class, so I have experience prepping students for college and in writing exceptional college and scholarship essays.I really enjoy teaching and look forward to working with you.

I am an alum from Yale (master's of public health in health care management) and Georgetown University (bachelor's in accounting and finance). I have tutoring and teaching assistant experience from high school and multiple classes in graduate school. I currently tutor the GRE. I enjoy tutoring GRE Quantitative Section because I believe it can be mastered conceptually. My teaching style is to always be for the student in a supportive and encouraging manner as well as teaching holistically. Lastly, I am a big mental health and fitness advocate with a tremendous interest in the following sports: football, baseball, basketball, and swimming. Specifically with regards to mental health, I have volunteered at a large grassroots nonprofit (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for 4 years and counting.

Current MBA student from Georgetown University looks to help more people to learn Chinese language and culture.

Hi everyone! My name is Justin and I'm excited for the opportunity to be your tutor. Tutoring is something I have always loved to do, and I plan to become a college professor someday. Helping others achieve their goals is something I truly strive to do as much as possible, and there is no better way to do this than through tutoring.I recently graduated from Georgetown University (Summa Cum Laude) with a B.S. in Human Science and a minor in Music. This Fall, I will be starting a Masters program in Music History at the Hartt School of Music. Throughout college, I took multiple upper-level courses in the basic sciences and music, and would be capable of tutoring in these fields. My strongest subjects are music history/theory and anatomy/physiology, although I also have a lot of tutoring experience in general chemistry. All of the students who I tutored during college saw improvements in their grades and test scores with my tutoring.I have plenty of availability for tutoring, both online and in-person, and would love the chance to help you succeed in your academic work. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a tutoring session!

I am a recent graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, where I earned my JD. While at Georgetown, I served on its Admissions Committee, reviewing close to 1,000 applications and rendering a decision on each application whether to admit, waitlist, or deny. Prior to Georgetown, I graduated from NYU with a BA, doubling majoring in history (with high honors) and political science; and double minoring in Spanish language and philosophy. I am currently an adjunct professor, teaching law-related courses and political theory at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In the past, I have worked at a K-12 learning center, assisting students at all grade levels in both math and reading. Additionally, I have served as a one-on-one tutor to select students who solicited my help in drafting their college essays, or to just improve the quality of their high school, middle school, or elementary school writing capacities. Finally, I was a volunteer ESL teacher for six years, teaching grammar and conversation.As a tutor, I do not feel complete until I am confident that my student fully understands the concepts at issue. I take very seriously the responsibility that it is my job to convey the material (obviously with students investing effort), and I try to break everything down as simply as possible. My job here is to help! While one session may not do the trick, I am diligent and prepared, and, based on student needs, I will map out how our lessons should progress to address those needs and overcome any obstacles in the way.

I am a sophomore at Georgetown University studying Spanish and Justice and Peace Studies, working toward a Bachelor of Arts degree. I love having the opportunity to assist my peers or younger students in subjects like English, Spanish, and Linguistics due to my own personal love for learning, and my teaching style is very collaborative to allow students to feel comfortable and supported in their learning. Spanish is my absolute favorite subject to tutor because I fell in love with the language and culture, and I would love to be able to help other students do the same. In my spare time, I love to read, write, and play with my pets.

Education is the foundation of success, and I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential. With over five years of tutoring experience, I have had the privilege of helping students build confidence in their abilities and reach their academic goals. I began tutoring in my hometown and continued throughout college, where I volunteered as a math and reading tutor with a university organizationan experience that eventually led me to become the organization's president. I hold a B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from Georgetown University and am currently pursuing a Master's in Medical Sciences at Boston University School of Medicine. My expertise lies in math and science, and I enjoy guiding students through complex concepts by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles. I firmly believe that anyone can learn anything! It's just a matter of finding the right method that works for them! Beyond academia, I enjoy practicing yoga, playing tennis, and spending time with my dogs. I'm passionate about making learning engaging and accessible, and I look forward to helping students succeed!

I'm a recent Georgetown University graduate originally from San Diego, CA. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Science, and I graduated with Honors with Distinction. While at Georgetown, I completed the pre-medical track and minored in Math. I'm an experienced standardized test taker, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic potential! I have tutored elementary school through college students in reading comprehension, math, SAT prep, and chemistry, and even started an afterschool engineering program for elementary school students. I am a strong proponent of framing intelligence as a muscle that is strengthened over time rather than an innate characteristic. While I'm not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, reading, and playing with dogs.

Growing up in a bicultural family and attending high school in Tianjin, China not only allowed me to become fluent in Mandarin but also instilled in me a passion for Chinese language and culture that I am eager to share with my students. My own experiences of learning how to read and write Chinese have given me a valuable perspective and skill set that will greatly contribute to my abilities as a tutor.I received my MS Physiology degree from Georgetown University and my undergraduate degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from Lehigh University, where I was afforded the opportunity to take graduate-level classes in Chinese literature. Having received a score of 5 in AP Chinese, taking advanced language courses, serving as a teacher’s assistant, as well as providing professional translation and interpretation services for a company in Tianjin, I possess the relevant background and experience to teach students of all skill levels and learning goals.I love meeting new people and look forward to learning and working together soon!

I enjoy being on the other side of education as a tutor while still improving my own understanding of the subject.Upon graduating from college, I developed tutoring skills while helping high school students prepare for their SAT II Subject Exams, covering wide ranges including math, biology, and chemistry. I was responsible for elaborating on answers using relevant figures and innovative examples, creating catchy mnemonics, and solving problems from students' point of view. As a tutor, I remained accessible but maintained an appropriate distance to earn students' respect, and five out of ten students improved their scores by more than 200 points. Through these teaching experiences, I have learned not only to become a teacher from the students' perspective, but also what it takes to be an effective educational provider and a mentor.While taking six medical school courses throughout my graduate school program, I have been able to practice and enhance teaching methods by organizing study groups that regularly conducted review sessions before exams, highlighting important concepts made during the lectures, sharing concise notes and outlines, bringing up pertinent and innovative questions, and academically stimulating my peers without any unwelcoming pressures. Through these learning and teaching environments, I have directly experienced what interactive measures really foster healthy learning environments.With these experiences and my avid passion, I am confident I will be a valuable asset to your student.

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Ian, and I am looking forward to working with you. I have two years of work experience in software engineering and one year of tutoring/teaching experience. Graduating from Georgetown University and Flatiron School's Data Science boot camp has provided me with a robust education in STEM disciplines and foreign languages that I hope will be of help to you!At Georgetown, I earned a B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in Arabic and had the opportunity to study at the University of Seville, Spain. I have that experience to thank for my conversational and written fluency in Spanish. My interest in computer science was sparked in an introductory Python course, for which I served as a Teaching Assistant the following semester. I led "hands-on" lab sessions each week focused on solving more lengthy coding challenges and helping students with issues. Teaching in a college course made me comfortable with virtual tutoring since it was during the initial COVID lockdown.I have been living in New York City since graduation, where I completed my Data Science boot camp and started work as a Scientific Software Engineer in computational drug discovery. Specifically, I was on the Force Field Development team, working with seasoned researchers and computational chemists to overhaul and improve our parametrization models for simulating potential drug candidates. As a result of my time in NYC, I have become an advanced user of Python, a more confident programmer, and a persistent problem-solver. I am passionate about learning and helping others learn, so I hope to help you achieve your best in your chosen subject!

Hi, I'm Natalie! I'm an attorney who loves helping students discover their strengths and reach their potential. I'm patient and personable. I meet students where they're at and adapt my approach to their unique learning style. I tutor psychology, writing, reading comprehension, SAT prep, art history, law, criminal law and linguistics. I believe learning should be rewardingand most of all, fun!

Hi! My name is Ari. I was born, raised, and currently live in Brookline, MA, but I am a student at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. I take pride in being a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to academia. I have experience tutoring across the gamut of academic subjects, including in English as a Foreign Language and in Mandarin Chinese. With each of my past tutees I have worked to not only enhance their understanding of the curriculum, but also to help them find the motivation, study skills, discipline and joy that are necessary to truly excel in the classroom. I would be thrilled to bring that attitude to work with your student; I believe that good teaching means "working with" rather than "talking at," and that students thrive when they get a personal touch from a devoted tutee who can bring learning to life for them. If you give me the chance to be that teacher for your student, I promise you won't regret it.

Hi, my name is Emily. I graduated with honors from Georgetown University with a degree in Comparative Literature, Linguistics and Chinese. I am passionate about all things language, from the measly article to the next great American Novel. While working for a while in the private sector and as a freelancer abroad, I realized that what I was truly passionate about was mentoring and teaching people, sharing my love of language and literature. Thus far, I have worked with English as a Second Language learners in Taipei, and worked as a freelance English Editor of resumes, college application essays, cover letters and more. As a tutor, I am always looking for new fun and creative ways to engage students in the material, to help them see the ins and outs of how language is put together whether its a sentence or a five-paragraph persuasive essay.My academic background in linguistics and comparative literature provide not only a grounding in the English language and the finer points of grammatical analysis, but also gives me a foundation in literary theory. I am well equipped to work with students through the analysis of dense passages of fiction and non-fiction, as well as parse out any grammatical and usage errors they may have. This gives students the opportunity to understand the how and why of language as opposed to simply memorizing arbitrary rules.Finally, with a Chinese minor from Georgetown and a Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language (TOCFL) proficiency of 5 (fluent), and having learned Chinese myself as a foreign language, I feel equipped to help beginner to intermediate learners of Chinese accomplish their language goals in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. I have participated and observed in many language classrooms and am prepared with strategies to overcome common problems in Mandarin learning (the characters, the tones, the "lack of" grammar etc.).Outside of tutoring, I am still dedicated to education and am pursuing a masters of education at the Relay Graduate School of Education. When not thinking about how to further knowledge in the next generation I enjoy cooking, dancing, and watching foreign cinema.Ultimately, what is most important is putting the improvement of the student first, and to that end I am always receptive to comments and suggestions. Please do not hesitate to ask questions, we cannot learn without inquiry!

I am currently a fourth year medical student who is looking forward to helping other students enjoy math and science! I have a masters of science in physiology from Georgetown was well as a bachelors degree in anthropology with minors in medical Spanish and chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill. Having been in school for a very long time, I understand that everyone learns differently and at different paces. I will tailor my tutoring to best help you achieve the grades and changes that you would like to see.
