Please feel free to check out my LinkedIn page for additional information: https://....com Private Tutoring I teach both high school and college students in the DC area and I tailor tutoring sessions carefully to the student's individual needs. I customize the schedule and content of meetings according to the student's goals, such as improvement in an English class or help with a specific paper or test. I can help prep for the S.A.T., AP English Language and Composition, and AP English Literature and Composition. I arrange a meeting spot that works best for the student-in home, at a library, or at a student's school during study hall are all possible settings. I place a heavy emphasis on keep parents up-to-date on their student's progress, providing weekly, in-depth e-mails or phone calls. I detail what we did during our tutoring session, what assignments the student is working on, areas in which the student is progressing, and areas in which the student needs more practice. Here is a testimonial from a parent of a student I tutored during my time in graduate school: "I am so grateful for all you have done these past two years tutoring and supporting [student name] while at Ole Miss. Your dedication, academic skills, perseverance, encouragement, and enthusiasm have helped him achieve success in English class, writing, and studying."
