"My name is Essien Offiong and I reside in Silver Spring, MD. I studied Economics and minored in French at the University of Maryland during my undergraduate years. I went to Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville (Silver Spring) where I represented my school in varsity soccer and swimming. I've been a tutor for over 3 years, and got my beginning at Math Connex Tutoring Center in Hyattsville, MD. There I tutored math (algebra, geometry, arithmetic, and SAT math) to middle and high school students. I also taught English, particularly writing and reading for SAT preparation. I currently tutor privately, teaching a middle and high school students math, and in SAT preparation.

I minored in French as part of my undergraduate years at University of Maryland. I'm good with grammar, writing with style, and translations (English to French, and vice versa) due to the courses I took. I studied French from my high school freshman year through the completion of my bachelor's degree. I'm very good at reading, writing with style, and sentence completion.

I'm patient, empathetic, and a good communicator, which is what I think makes me very good at teaching. I enjoy helping people improve their understanding and gain a greater appreciation for education." less...
