Marisa

Certified Tutor

I received my Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service in International Politics, with a concentration in International Law, from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in 2017. Since graduation, I have had the opportunity to work in the technology policy and advocacy space, and I am currently a tax and trade policy aide in the United States Senate. My prior tutoring experience includes working with a high school student in British Literature, as well as preparing this student for the Critical Reading and Writing sections of Standardized Tests. Most recently, I have volunteered as a reading tutor for elementary school students at a local DC public school. I am a voracious reader and writer myself, and I have found that one of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring is helping students to reach an understanding of and master complex terms and concepts, and have fun doing so! I also loved studying and excelled in American history, politics and government, and international affairs while in high school and college, and these are subjects I very much look forward to discussing with students. In my spare time, you can find me on a hike or exploring the outdoors, doing yoga, learning new songs on the keyboard, or curled up with a cup of strong, dark roast coffee and a good book.
