Washington, DC Private Reading Tutors for In-Home Tutoring

About: Trained by the best - the University of Virginia and Cambridge University - my experience is worldwide, of many years, and measured in successful students. Prior to teaching, I worked with radio and television stations in New York state and Maryland. I've taught Civics and English in Fairfax County, Va. to 7th and 8th graders and English in China and Vietnam to students K - 12 and to adults. With extensive experience tutoring children, teens and adults privately, I've also edited and polished many corporate and academic documents and term papers for private clients. I continue to do this at the PhD level for a Chinese student living in France, and would be delighted to take on more students in this role. My students have always done well. They include a pilot for Air China, a graduate of the Cordon Bleu School in Taiwan, an analyst with an international firm in Utrecht, and many happy undergraduates I helped with their pre-admission exams and tasks. My specialty from University of Virginia is in Learning Disabilities. Adolescents are my favorite group to teach. Let's get to know each other! I am certain you'll learn and enjoy the experience.

About: I have been teaching on the university level since 2008 and tutoring K-12 students since 2017. I try to instill confidence in my students, which in turn makes them more invested in their skills and boosts their desire to improve. I am passionate about reading and writing and I want to share that excitement with my students. Whether it is writing a thesis statement, interpreting Shakespeare, or just starting to write sentences and read, I think building the strongest foundation and having the correct tools is paramount to success!
