Award-Winning Tutors from Georgetown University

If you're reading this, it is probably because you want to learn a little more about my personality and credentials. In short, I am an affable, non-judgmental teacher, and am broadly qualified to tutor everything from basic literacy, to specialized test-prep, to college-level composition. I have almost a decade's worth of experience teaching and tutoring for the verbal sections of the English Regents, SAT, ACT, AP Language, and AP Literature exams, and served as an undergraduate at the Georgetown University Writing Center. Additionally, I enjoy helping students with their college admissions essays, and have found that there is a way to make the writing process authentic, creative, and sometimes even enjoyable.So, whatever your dilemma, consider inviting me to help.

I currently work as a teacher in New York City public schools. I have a Master of Arts in English from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and a Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs and French Language and Literature from George Washington University. I spent a year directly enrolled in the French Literature department at the Universit de Strasbourg in Strasbourg, France. Prior to returning to teaching, I worked in a variety of non-profit support functions, such as administration, operations, accounting, and finance in Strasbourg and Washington, D.C. I am available to tutor a wide array of topics in English and French at the secondary and post-secondary levels.

A former Princeton graduate student, I am currently a high school teacher and I have been teaching the SAT and GRE for 10 years. I have been able to lift scores up in both math and reading, helping students gain acceptance into schools like Princeton, Harvard, Lehigh, UPenn, Monmouth, and Rutgers. While the SAT may seem daunting, I can show certain techniques and strategies for overcoming it. But it takes more than just techniques to improve on the SAT. I also help students with the "grunt work" needed to improve their score on the SAT. Additionally, I can help all students looking to take the GRE, another of my specialties

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.

Hi! I'm Taylor, a medical student who loves helping middle and high school students feel more confident in science and math. I've studied everything from basic biology to advanced physiology, earning my master's from Georgetown University. I love breaking complex concepts down into simple, easy-to-understand steps. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just want extra support, I'll help you learn in a way that actually makes sense and maybe even make STEM classes a little more enjoyable.

I completed my undergraduate education in three years at Georgetown University in Washington, DC where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service. I then attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where I was part of the Partners in Los Angeles Education (PLACE) Corps. There I earned my Master of Arts in Secondary Education and my California Single Subject Clear Credential with an authorization in social science. I am currently in the process of adding an English authorization to my credential. I will return to Loyola Marymount to work on a second Master's degree in the Fall.I have been in the classroom for almost four years teaching social studies, religion, and English to grades 5 - 12. I have experience at both the high school and middle school levels. I also was previously a coach for the Catholic School's Junior High Academic Decathlon for multiple subjects. I regularly hold tutoring for my students have much experience tutoring a variety of subjects at the middle school level.I am in education because it is a constantly changing field where one can always work on improving one's teaching. I enjoy the challenges of teaching and tutoring because it means that no two days are ever the same. In addition, I enjoy using research based methods in education. I also believe in empowering students to reach their goals.I enjoy cooking on my free time, researching topics in Junior High Academic Decathlon, and keeping up with my friends.

If you are looking for a flexible, dynamic tutor for middle and high school mathematics, science courses or MCAT preparation, I'm a great tutor for you. I graduated from medical school three years ago and am now an orthopaedic surgical resident, and so I have a great deal of real world experience with mathematics and the natural sciences. I use my knowledge to engage students in the learning process. I understand that each person learns in an individualized manner, and I always try to work with the student's natural tendencies rather than against.

I am a dental student pursuing my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at Columbia University. I grew up in Trinidad and Tobago. Many people equate island life to easy going personalities and no worries, which encompasses me. However, within the Caribbean, Trinidad also has a notorious reputation for rigorous academics and producing strong academic talent.After leaving my beloved island, I gained >700 SAT I and II scores and received an academic scholarship to attend my first choice, Georgetown University, where I majored in Mathematics, with a pre-medical concentration. During college, I pursued my passion for education. I taught SAT Mathematics to college-bound juniors and seniors and was dedicated to improving my students. I carefully nurtured my students individually and transformed them from barely scraping by on the SATs to having highly respectable scores that gained them entry to their choice of Ivy-league institution.Beyond the classroom, I have expressed my passion for educating others through Global Outreach and Patient Education, in countries like Trinidad, Ethiopia and Cape Verde. Apart from that, I paint, tap dance, play violin and try to head to a beach whenever I can.I hope that we can connect and I look forward to helping you prepare for your exams and future!

As a Physics major in undergraduate and graduate school, I have had many opportunities over the past 10 years to teach others, both as a teaching assistant and as personal tutor. I find the experience of helping students understand Math and Physics concepts, using their perspective and knowledge as a starting point, very rewarding. I believe that with the right teaching methods, anyone can excel in these subjects through hard work and perseverance. I hope to give my students the tools to confidently tackle any problem not only in Math and Physics, but across other subjects as well.

I am a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I am currently a second year medical student at Meharry Medical College. I developed a love of tutoring during my gap year before medical school, where I tutored undergraduate students in Organic Chemistry and General Biology. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Anatomy/Physiology, General Biology, and Microbiology. In my experience, helping struggling students prepare for exams, the learning happens when we can break down a practice problem and focus in on "high-yield" and testable information together. I am a firm proponent in learning my students' learning style best, so during my first session with students, I like to get to know them and how they learn to help guide their tutoring sessions. I am looking forward to potentially working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

I am passionate about history, politics, reading and writing and excited to get others passionate about these topics, too! I look forward to helping anyone who's interested improve their skills in any of these areas and always ready to meet people where they are, tailor sessions to their interests and styles of learning, and bring big ideas to levels where they are accessible and personal.

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 believe in the growth mindset, meaning that every student has the capacity to achieve and grow. I tell my students that I believe in them, and that with hard work and my support, they can achieve and even exceed their goals. When students believe this as well, they are more motivated to work hard because they believe that hard work begets results.I think it is critical to build a relationship with my students, so that I can identify the methods and strategies that will be most effective for them. I begin by getting to know my students on a personal level, learning about their passions, what motivates them, what frustrates them, and which learning strategies have been successful for them. I believe I need to earn their trust by being on time, prepared, and consistent in my work as a tutor. By building this personal relationship, I have the information I need to customize our tutoring experiences in a way that will be most effective for my students.My professional experience is varied; I run a business bringing creative problem-solving to education. I am currently teaching a college course, I was a 7th grade English teacher, and I have worked as a marketing executive and design thinking consultant, and own my own business. I bring my rich experiences to sessions, which helps me identify creative ways of delivering and explaining material.Perhaps most importantly, I truly love to learn. I believe that learning can and should be a joyful experience, and that when students enjoy learning - even productive struggle - they succeed. I bring relentless optimism, positive energy, and humor to my sessions.

Hi everyone! I'm Dr. Maria, Ph.D. in organic chemistry. As an organic chemistry teacher and former student myself, I know this can be seen as a tough subject for students of all ages and majors, but I'm confident we can make this course less daunting for anyone!

I enjoy helping students build confidence and develop a stronger understanding of challenging concepts. My approach is patient, structured, and focused on understanding rather than simply memorizing information. I adapt my teaching style to each student, breaking complex ideas into manageable steps and using examples that make the material easier to understand. My goal is to help students become more confident, independent learners who know how to approach new challenges on their own.

Hello! I am a third-year law student at Georgetown Law looking to provide academic and test-prep advice. I have applied to undergraduate schools and law school and have lots of experience going through the application process. I know it can be a stressful time, and I'd love to help however I can. This includes the SAT, ACT, and LSAT, all of which I have done well on (1550 / 35 / 174). I'm also happy to help with various academic subjects, particularly statistics and math up to AP Calculus; writing and grammar; and Latin. Look forward to meeting you all!

Before Varsity Tutors, I worked with underprivilieged students from kindergarten through 8th grade in all subjects. I often find that students struggle because they lack confidence which leads to test anxiety and frustration. I try to address these issues by teaching in a way that is in line with the student's learning style. Although I maintain high expectations for all students, I like to create a fun and relaxed environment to make it as least stressful as possible.I am currently taking prerequisite classes in preparation for a graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology. I graduated in 2010 from Georgetown University with a degree in linguistics with a concentration in education.

My name is Ananya, and I am a recent graduate of Georgetown University, where I obtained a B.S. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Government, graduating with Honors. In college, my favorite areas of math were calculus, linear algebra, and data science, which led me to conduct math statistics research for two years. I am an incoming Master's student at Cambridge University, where I will be studying and researching Digital Policy. My interdisciplinary educational experience informs my creative and engaging approach to education. I have many years of teaching experience throughout high school, I tutored elementary and middle school math and English in both paid and volunteer positions, and served as a TA for Precalculus and AP US History. In college, I served as a leader for multiple mentorship programs for high schoolers and incoming college students. These experiences taught me patience and the ability to adapt learning experiences to individual students' strengths. I take a reflective and iterative approach to tutoring, with practice, feedback, and application of material in various contexts. As your tutor, I am passionate about fostering a deeper understanding of material that will lead to your success, while embedding fun into the process. Please consider booking a lesson, and I look forward to getting started!

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.

I hold a B.A. in Comparative Literature from Princeton University and an M.A. from Georgetown University in Arabic Studies/Middle East Studies. I'm currently working on my second masters degree in Mass Communications and Journalism at ASU's Walter Cronkite School.I would love to tutor students working on any of the following subjects: PSAT Critical Reading, PSAT Writing Skills, SAT Critical Reading, SAT Subject Test in Literature, SAT Verbal, TOEFL, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, College Essays, Essay Editing, Grammar and Mechanics, Literature, Reading, Writing, Arabic, and European History.Here's a little bit more information about my background -- I'm currently a Teaching Assistant at ASU, where I work closely with undergraduate students on improving their writing and critical thinking skills. Before coming to ASU, I taught undergraduate humanities and English literature courses. I have also served as an SAT Prep instructor for the verbal and writing sections of the SAT. I really like working with students on the verbal and writing portions of the SAT because I find that, when approached the right way, these sections of the test are a lot of fun.In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to keep things as active as possible. I think it's important that students feel they are engaged in a dynamic process; I view tutoring much like a conversation. If students have questions, I always want to hear them. I think in tutoring, when both the student and the tutor contribute, there's a great exchange.I'm originally from the East Coast, the Philadelphia area. I lived in the Middle East for four years for my work. In my free time, I like to stay active. I love exercising. Running, hiking, and going to the gym are all great. I am a big believer that physical activity helps clear the mind and restore focus. I also love coffee and going to coffee shops.I look forward to meeting you soon for tutoring. I'm happy to answer any questions about my background and experience.

I began my tutoring career seven years ago while a Freshman at Georgetown University, where I majored in Spanish and Sociology. I initially tutored English (Grammar & Mechanics) assisted with drafting essays and lengthier papers for a variety of subjects, and helped my students to enhance their study skills.Tutoring soon became something I greatly enjoyed. I loved watching my students progress in their studies as they began to genuinely enjoy the learning process! Later in my career, I added Spanish as a subject that I tutored. I tutored students at the college level in Beginners and Intermediate Spanish.I was so happy to add Spanish to my repertoire of tutoring subjects because it is a personal favorite. Learning Spanish is fun and exciting! It has been an integral part of my life since when I first began learning it at the age of 14. However, I rapidly learned because I immersed myself in Spanish music, television, and culture. I also traveled to the Dominican Republic in the Fall of 2011 for a semester of study abroad.Since graduating with my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Georgetown University, I have continued to immerse myself in the Spanish language and use it as much as possible. Besides my interest in tutoring, I am also an avid singer. I have studied voice for about ten years now. I have sang at weddings and like to record professionally in my spare time.

I am excited and ready to help your student with reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and/or literature study. For more than twelve years I taught English and language arts in grades 6 through 12 in public school and independent school. I prepared for teaching with an undergraduate degree in English from Georgetown University and a Masters in Arts from Boston University, focusing on English Secondary Education. Most recently, I taught sixth and seventh graders for five years at a local, prestigious independent school. Being a classroom teacher was extremely challenging and exciting, but I always wanted to have more time to work individually with students because they improve so much with that kind of personalized attention.I have lived and breathed improving students' reading, writing, and thinking for half of my life. What I have learned is that there is no one right way to teach all students. Everyone learns differently. Different methods, different materials, and different experiences capture young people's imaginations and can help them master the skills and materials. My teaching experience working with hundreds of students will enable me to do what is best for your student. I have children myself, and I know that personality plays a huge role in how we learn. I am excited to be a coach and cheerleader for your student to help him or her succeed.

I am a senior at Georgetown University pursuing a bachelors degree in Biology of Global Health with a pre-medical concentration. My experience includes tutoring and coaching lacrosse to kids ages 5 to 16 for the last 5 years. I am enthusiastic, patient, relaxed, and organized. I really enjoy tutoring the following subjects: Biology, Spanish, Math, English/Writing, and U.S. History. I have always had a passion for science, particularly biology, which is one of the reasons that I plan to attend medical school in a few years. Writing is one of my favorite subjects to tutor as my liberal arts education at Georgetown has taught me how to successfully write papers, articles, and essays for biology, chemistry, history, philosophy, and psychology. I am currently working with a professor and another colleague to publish a project that we have developed that uses ethical leadership as a framework for the Olympic games to address health issues within a host country.Outside of tutoring and being a student, I enjoy playing and coaching sports like lacrosse, volleyball, basketball, kickboxing, and snowboarding. I currently play lacrosse for Georgetown and coach locally. My experiences on teams and as a collegiate athlete have taught me communication, leadership, and organizational skills.These experiences have shaped much of my tutoring philosophy. I believe that patience and positive motivation are crucial to helping students achieve their academic or athletic goals. At the same time, as a student and athlete I know that practice and repetition are the keys to fully understanding whatever material is being taught. As a tutor, it is my responsibility to offer a variety of tools and concepts in order for a student to find the best method to reach their academic goals and to build confidence.

I am excited to use my education and experience to help you meet your academic and professional goals. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor's degree. My law degree is from Georgetown University.

Hi, I'm Kristy and I recently graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in International Economics. I have almost two years of experience tutoring middle and high schoolers in math and SAT prep, and was an economics teaching assistant for at Georgetown last year! I love breaking down intimidating concepts into something you can actually see and work with, and I truly believe that with the right instruction, any student can succeed. I'm excited to help each student however I can.

Bonjour!I am from New York.I graduated from Georgetown University and then completed my Masters in French at La Sorbonne in Paris, where I then lived for many years.I was a teacher for the French Embassy whilst in Paris, teaching students in a public high school in the 14th arrondissement. I am currently writing a children's book series. I wish to make my tutoring sessions unique and incorporate various mediums such as video, arts, etc.I am a true francophile and look forward to sharing my love of French language with you!A bientt,Katherine

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.

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 have been an educator for 20 years now and am passionate about helping students understand and enjoy learning. My classrooms were places where students could bring their whole selves and discover new ways of approaching and solving problems. I'm a former high math teacher (Algebra and Geometry) and have worked with students across K-12. In addition, I have taught college access seminars and coached reading and writing teachers but my favorite thing to work on with students is math! I have an undergraduate degree from Georgetown in International Relations and an MBA from the College of William and Mary.

Welcome to my tutor page! I am a committed educator with years of experience as both a classroom teacher and private tutor in a wide array of subjects. I am committed to working with students to support them in achieving their full potential. I look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Kara and I received my M.S. in Physiology and Biophysics from Georgetown University and my M.D. from New York Medical College. I enjoy helping students out with most science topics, from high school Biology courses to preparing for the ACT, SAT, or MCAT. This includes Biology, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, and more. I work with students to develop effective study methods that work best for the ways in which they learn. The key is to not only learn information, but to retain it. I also enjoy working with young students who may need help with reading, writing, science, and pre-algebra. My tutoring sessions will give students the practice and understanding needed to excel in their coursework. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking, catching up on new TV shows, and spending time with my family!

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 recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Georgetown University with a B.S. in Global Health and a minor in Economics. Tutoring and mentoring students has been important to me, from tutoring refugees in English to helping aspiring Georgetown students with college essays. Though I tutor a broad range of subjects, I'm especially passionate about helping with English, college application essays, and SAT Writing. I remember firsthand how challenging the college application process can be, so I find it fulfilling to help students discern their own narratives and share techniques to help them succeed. As a 10-time tournament champion in Impromptu speaking, I also love coaching students in public speech and helping them build their confidence!

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!

I have spent the last five years teaching in middle and high schools in New York and Connecticut. In that time, I have experienced the incredible success that all students can have with individualized and properly scaffolded instruction first-hand. My teaching experiences have been varied across all departments. I have partnered with several different co-teachers in an ICT environment in the English and Math departments. I have also taught pull-out interventions for literacy, along with writing and conducting testing for Individualized Education Plans. I have received comprehensive training to prepare our students for standardized state assessments, as well as integrating our curriculum with Common Core Learning Standards. In addition, I initiated several after-school clubs to fill in the gaps in elective offerings, such as theater and culinary arts. I thrive in an environment where I can pull from current events and popular culture to create a dynamic classroom environment. This also involves equipping them with the right strategies to access complicated texts, or helping them internalize the steps to break down a complex math problem. Above all, I have aspired to create an accepting and positive environment, so all students feel like they have a stake in their own success.

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!

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.

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!

I am a BS in Biochemistry and recent graduate from a very rigorous program at Georgetown University where I have taken the first-year medical school curriculum (scoring in the top 2% of the class), receiving a Master's of Science degree in Physiology and Biophysics. Ever since I was a child, I have been wildly inquisitive. I was the annoying classmate who always raised their hand and had to know why everything was the way it is and worked the way it did before we moved on. My tutoring style works the same way. I do *not* believe in memorization and have textbooks as clear as yesterday engrained in my head years after learning them is because of taking time to break concepts down to their simplest ideas and building upwards. By breaking complex concepts into their basic subunits, and explaining the purpose of each unit and how and why it works, it creates connections in the brain (schema) and writes into long term memory. Most of my students have mastered concepts so much, after getting an A in their class, they went on to tutor the subject themselves.My expertise lies in the premedical and science curriculum: Chemistry (general, organic, and physical); Biology (general, cell, and molecular); Biochemistry and Metabolism; Physics (1 and 2); Math (precalculus to calculus 3); and SAT/GRE/MCAT prep. Having a strong background in all of these subjects is invaluable in a tutor, because there is an immense amount of crossing over in the sciences. Without math, you cannot understand physics or chemistry, and without chemistry, you cannot master biology. With my help, I will ensure you have true mastery of all of your material as well.Aside from the sciences, I have a deep love for classical music (particularly the Romantic era), and am a competitive pianist and composer. I also love to garden (feel free to ask for pictures any time) and have recently fundraised and planted a rose garden for a DC homeless shelter I play piano for every week (as part of their sound empowerment program).I look forward to working with you!

I graduated from Georgetown University with a BSFS in International Politics and a minor in Chinese. After I graduated, I taught Middle School Math for two years and am now working at a non-profit. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, History, and English. I also have familiarity with standardized tests.
