Award-Winning Writing Tutors serving Maryland

...middle school algebra and geometry, and basic high school algebra. My teaching and tutoring style follows a gradual release system. I normally model the correct response for the student, so they are able to watch me first. Then, I act as a facilitator and allow the student to attempt a similar problem with my guidance. And finally, the student works independently and I provide feedback after they are finished. I believe this builds student confidence...

...the students I tutor. My focus is on creating a solid foundation for students to expand their own learning. I strive to make the subject they are dealing with engaging and accessible so that they can increase their performance and become successful, self-reliable students. I am originally from Puerto Rico, I went to college St. Louis, and studied in China for a year. I enjoy water sports, especially scuba diving and paddle boarding, and reading.

...voice and the value in it, and can declare this conviction with volume (literally and metaphorically). A person who can write is a person who can impact their community.

...that we all share as educators: closing the achievement gap.

During the winter NWEA Map assessment my class's average exceeded the school's achievement target for...

...as possible to get a deep understanding of why and how different parts are important. In essay subjects, I have learned to appreciate that even the most important themes and events cannot be made interesting if they are only seen through textbook-based rote learning. Rather, constant questioning and discussion is a much more effective and enjoyable way to retain information. English, History and Politics involve a large amount of content, but in my lessons, I...

...take ownership of the subject matter. Once ownership happens, it becomes easier to engage and ask questions that lead to understanding. I graduated from Georgetown 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.
