Award-Winning Tutors in Washington DC for Students in Special Education Programs

...school when I was sixteen until I was eighteen. I assisted middle schoolers and high schoolers, ages 11-18, on their core subjects: math, reading, social sciences, and physical sciences. I also assisted them in Spanish (all levels), AP classes, PSAT skills, and SAT skills. My greatest strength is assisting students get more organized and take better notes when they are in class to facilitate how they study and practice their material outside the classroom. I...

...Government, both middle and high school, (10 years) , and various regional courses such as Latin America and Asia. I have also taught Geography (4 years).

...and Math. In the inclusion and self-contained settings, I teach students who are in general and special education programs. My teaching and tutoring philosophy is that all students, regardless of ability or disability, can achieve to their highest potential when provided with academically and developmentally appropriate instruction and supports. It is therefore my teaching and tutoring style to appropriately create, differentiate, and modify content and/or lessons to make them accessible, engaging, and rigorous for students...

...2013, with a major in Environmental Policy. Although I'm happy to tutor most subjects, my strongest suit is writing. I read my friends' papers all the time - and really enjoy doing it! I can read anything from college essays, creative writing, or help you with the SAT writing/reading sections. I am also happy to help you brainstorm and talk through ideas on papers you haven't yet started. In my free time, I love reading,...

...friends throughout the years. In my experience, there is almost no subject out of reach of a passionate and curious mind. I therefore strive not just to communicate content, but to instill a passion that will drive self motivated learning. Whether discussing The Great Gatsby or reviewing the Navier Stokes Equations for fluid dynamics, I am excited to share my enthusiasm for learning with a younger generation.

I also hold a leadership position with the experimental performance group Odyssey Works and have curated two exhibitions, one of which is currently doing...

...into destitute circumstances, but with their education can rise above their situation. One of the only things that a child should not have to earn is their right to knowledge. Education is a human right. Every single child should be fully equipped to chose their own path in life. Every student under my tutelage will be given access to the best I have to share so that they can make their own future.... Even though it...

...career has taught me the value of active listening and working with those from a wide variety of personal backgrounds and experience. Everybody learns differently, and my job is to communicate information and concepts to students in ways that are most effective for them. History, politics, business management, and marketing are all areas of study most enjoyable to me, and ones I use almost daily. I enjoy relating both theoretical and practical concepts to my...

...tutoring to their individual wants and needs. For the first two years, I worked as a GED tutor at Lorain County JVS where I tutored disadvantaged adults and teenagers in math and reading skills required for proficiency on the GED test. I ran independent workshops for advanced students. I also worked one-on-one with the students who required the most individualized attention. During my last two years of college I worked as a Teachers Assistant for...

...given in order to succeed. I love to help individuals who are younger than me see that and understand that it is not all bad and there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. Lastly, my dad has ingrained this quote by Vince Lombardi and it is something currently live by. The quote is "the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary." This embodies who I am as...

...also encourage them to believe that when they try, they can improve and succeed. An example of my work includes a student who spoke English as a second language and also had special needs. As I worked with him daily, his reading level increased ten levels and his math scores went from below average to earning over 80% in his final math testing that year. Trekking in Nepal with my husband was a highlight of...

...writing. Currently, I also tutor adjudicated youth at a local detention center. My favorite subject to tutor is English/Language Arts because I like to support students in making text to self or text to world connections. It is also very rewarding to see students grow and hit their fluency or accuracy or comprehension targets. However, I must admit, tutoring students in basic math and science is also rewarding and very fun. Watching students mind work...

...subjects, vocational and life skills, and personal development. I don't have a particular favorite subject to teach. My joy comes from watching someone grasp a new skill or concept that they did not have, or think they have. I believe we all can learn something new everyday. Regardless of your age or what you know, learning is a continous process. Outside of my love of teaching, I enjoy reading, puzzles, karate, Tai Chi, traveling, learning...
