Award-Winning AP English Language and Composition Tutors serving Washington DC

...teacher, I try to "guide learning" rather than just reciting facts or "teaching at" a student. I believe that discovery is the most exciting way to learn as well as the best method for producing long-term recall; it also tailors every learning experience to the individual student. I was most inspired to pursue this Socratic style of teaching after taking several courses in college from a professor who had perfected the technique. The majority of...

...providing general homework help for children with special needs, both in home and at school, and providing subject-specific help through online tutoring. I have also worked as a camp counselor, so I know how to treat students with the respect that they deserve, while also ensuring that they understand the material before them. In the long-term, I would like to work in the US government and help create foreign policy. For now, though, I'm interested...

...continually with children as a babysitter, often providing homework help. I became more involved in education when I worked as a co-teacher with Peace by Peace, where I taught non-violent conflict resolution skills to 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...

...math at all levels and mostly focus on math, but can also cover theoretical CS, programming in Java & C, and basic physics. I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole process.

...John's College and Georgetown Law. Teaching is in my blood-my mother is a teacher, and she instilled in me the love of helping someone reach his or her potential with compassion and enthusiasm. I have been tutoring since middle school and I don't ever plan on stopping! My favorite subject to tutor is the LSAT, but I also LOVE English, US History, and World History. During my free time, I enjoy reading voraciously, sewing, and...

...critically and writing clearly are two of the most important skills students can learn, and I firmly believe every student can excel in these areas. My personal teaching philosophy is that learning should be fun. I will work hard to connect students' tutoring needs with their personal interests, whether it's making phonics practice into a fun game, or showing how literary concepts exist in popular culture as much as they do in the classics. For...

...servant leadership, the leader is serving and taking into account the needs of those they lead, infuse discipline, and encourages a respect for all. This sort of empathy is not a hollowed shell that shakes conviction from a leader but rather a means for adopting the norms of the organization. In a posting by Wagner (2012), "Individuals must possess the ability to empower, and influence all team members; especially senior executives" (para 1). In the...

...obtain my PhD in Religious Studies and teach it professionally. I have received Dean's List all three of my semesters at UVA and am a member of the National Society of College Scholars and Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. I have been tutoring for six years, predominately working with high school students, and have completed over 300 hours of volunteer tutoring. I am very passionate about learning (some may say that I am a nerd!)...

...involved in working with K-12 students in the surrounding West Philadelphia public schools. My experiences working with students during college propelled me to apply for the program Teach for America before graduation. Teach for America places recent college graduates and working professionals in schools located in low-income areas. I moved to Phoenix upon graduation to teach elementary school in a public charter school. Since that time, I have taught fifth grade Math and History, middle...

...students in History, Political Science, and International Relations. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about the LSAT, ACT, US History, European History, and Writing. I very much enjoy teaching LSAT test preparation. It is a challenging obstacle for many students. However, once you understand what the test is trying to accomplish, it actually becomes enjoyable. Receiving a high score on the LSAT can open up a lot of doors...

I got my start teaching as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Rwanda, where I taught English to national park rangers and leadership skills to local high school students. Since then, I've taught students of all levels and subjects, from...

...History. Throughout college and in high school, I have tutored children within the United States and globally, usually ages elementary school to high school. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Spanish, test prep, Writing, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the...

...context to better comprehend and work with the material. Finally we have analysis (where together 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...

I am an extremely passionate learner, and I strive to share my infectiously positive attitude towards learning with all of my students. I have an undergraduate degree in physics from Dartmouth College, and a graduate degree in law from Harvard Law School.

...I will help my students see the resources available to them and demonstrate how to utilize them for both practice and reference. I think that tutoring help shouldn't just be when I am on the clock; if my student is ever stuck on a problem, I will make myself available to them over FaceTime or any other method. In my spare time, I enjoy both ice and roller hockey, and almost any other outdoor activity....

Hi! I'm Eileen and I'm excited to teach you any subjects you might be looking for any extra tutoring in :)

I am a current student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am planning on receiving a Bachelor of Science in Psychology as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. I am extremely passionate about ensuring that my students not only achieve their academic goals, but that they also have a proper understanding of the material being taught.

...with the research paper. I can help instruct and support students with the MLA and APA specialized formats for papers. I also have mentored students to gold, silver, and honorable mention recognition in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. My approach to tutoring is one of mentor and support. I believe that revision is the biggest educator in personal writing and perfecting papers is the key to growth. It is my desire to see students...

...a firm advocate for fostering a psychologically safe education environment, encouraging my students to nurture their curiosities, take risks, and challenge the 'status quo' as opposed to simply memorizing the facts & formulas. In working with me, my students learn how to judge their WORK instead of judging themselves. I believe education is more than the information we accumulate in our heads; it is the habits we develop as we revise our outputs and the...

...confident with a topic they've been struggling with. Classes can be fast-paced and unforgiving, and often if you don't understand something, there isn't time to circle back and ask questions to resolve that confusion. As a result, people fall behind and it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up. My goal in tutoring is to help you catch up by figuring out where you're at, meeting you there, and working to build a foundation. If at...
