Enrich Your Learning - Economics, Math and Spanish TutorDC Metro
"After more than twenty years of teaching and tutoring students at college preparatory independent schools, I have the experience and qualifications necessary to be a subject tutor in Spanish, Math and/or Economics. As a veteran educator, I know that working one-on-one with students makes a big difference. I have taught every level of Spanish from first grade through AP Spanish Language and Literature, I have taught high school and college math through Calculus, and I have taught Microeconomics at the college level. I was a College Board AP Spanish Language reader for several years until my school's schedule conflicted with that. I tailor my teaching to meet the students' needs and to their learning style. I use a variety of techniques - everything from songs to kinesthetics - to make learning as fun as possible. Educators like me know that lowering the affective filter is the most effective way for students to learn. I am extremely patient, kind and understanding and always maximize my time with my students. I am passionate that rigorous but exciting academic enrichment is the key to students’ success. I will work relentlessly to help my students reach their potential."

The French Academy is a small French school in the Alexandria/DC/ Baltimore region, offering flexible classes based on the individual needs of the students. Small class sizes allows each team to work intensively on the curricula, exchange information faster, and prepare classes according to the needs of students. This methodology aims at re-creating a natural language environment in a French cultural context. The goal is to offer the highest caliber of French education though highly qualified teachers and individualized classes.

Students Are Inspired Learners (SAIL)Winchester
SAIL is a Christian organization that support homeschool families by offering an a la carte menu of traditional academic and elective classes for grades 5th-12th. We meet at Fellowship Bible Church in Winchester, VA on Mondays from 9am-3pm. Our classes run from September through March for regular sessions. Some classes (generally high school classes and some middle school classes) also run up to 6 extended sessions that begin in August and run through April. We offer history, five levels of writing classes, literature, and science, as well as electives such as public speaking, personal finance, entrepreneurship and music appreciation. Classes meet for one hour on Mondays and students receive homework to keep them busy for the remainder of the week. You generally do not need to supplement with anything at home. Teachers assign reading, study guides, essays, tests, projects and give grades for all completed work. We use Canvas – an online learning management system – to communicate with families and post assignments to help keep students on track.
