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

...While not everything can be taught purely in this fashion, I try to make my lessons focus on principles and processes, creating a deeper understanding of the facts presented in class or in the textbook.

I also try to apply...

...students on admissions essays and general homework help.

...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.

...students in basic and intermediate reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. My philosophy on tutoring is crafting the pace and structure of each lesson to the student's individual needs and talents. It is important to provide a framework for each student to develop their own individual writing and learning style. In regards to test prep, learning content comes first, but learning how to take the LSAT and SAT is critical to maximizing points and "gaming"...

...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 vein of servant leadership, it is important to listen to others, however the servant leader, unlike any other, must know the time for the discussion to end. In my desire to serve, I serve my students,...

...I believe all students can succeed if give the right tools and support. I have experience working with students of all age/grade levels on subjects ranging from history, English, writing, math, and test prep.

...connotations and, instead, become exciting opportunities that promote an insatiable intellectual curiosity and encourage a level of pride in a students recognizable accomplishments. The world is a scary place, especially for those who know little about it. One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching culture, is building a level of tolerance in students that allows them to come face to face with ideas and lifestyles that are the complete polar opposite of their own...

...school, like so many others. I currently work as an attorney for the Department of Justice, graduated from Ball State University 13 years ago and went straight to law school at Washington and Lee University right here in Virginia. One of my favorite parts of my current job is interacting with law student interns and paralegals and teaching them about the law. I do not get to do that often enough though, and so I...

...vital to one's ability to write compelling arguments and analysis - a lifetime tool! Being an author, poet, and avid consumer of literature, I would say that my favorite part of English is the different styles of writing in which a writer can get their ideas and messages across. Having a strong hold on these different styles and techniques of writing can apply to many other areas in life. When I teach, I believe in...
