About Rita


Bio

Hello, I'm Rita! I graduated from the University of Virginia, double majoring in Biology and French. In addition, I took the time to study art and music alongside my core classes. I believe approaching a subject from many perspectives can heighten our understanding of the subject and link it to other preexisting knowledge, making it easier to recall and associate.

All through college, I enjoyed tutoring my friends and peers to help them succeed on their exams. As a tutor, I want to help...

Hello, I'm Rita! I graduated from the University of Virginia, double majoring in Biology and French. In addition, I took the time to study art and music alongside my core classes. I believe approaching a subject from many perspectives can heighten our understanding of the subject and link it to other preexisting knowledge, making it easier to recall and associate.

All through college, I enjoyed tutoring my friends and peers to help them succeed on their exams. As a tutor, I want to help my students cement the information long term, rather than just accomplishing rote memorization for tests and assignments.

In addition to a Biology degree and experience in peer tutoring, I spent a lot of time exploring the world of research. I worked in a lab for two years and was also selected as an intern for the NIH-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates. I believe my combination of practical and theoretical biology knowledge can give my students a solid basis for their science studies.

Alongside my studies of biology, I also dove into foreign language and earned a bachelor's degree in French. This comprehensive program allowed me to study the literature, history, business, phonetics and culture of francophone countries all over the world. I bring this comprehensive knowledge to the table for my students and encourage learning through conversation about a broad series of topics - beyond simply memorizing the grammar, I want my students to apply it to something they care about.

As a tutor, I will go the extra mile to aid my students in whatever way they need to succeed. I welcome any additional resources or suggestions that parents or students are willing to provide. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!

Rita stands out as an objective-driven tutor

Rita's been an outstanding tutor for me over the last 3 months and 24 lessons. She's patient and attentive, and her analytical background fits well with my structured style of learning. She started our first lesson with a singular focus on understanding what my goals were and what success looked like, and compared to other tutors I genuinely felt heard. Beyond my initial ask that she help me learn to play a specific piece, she helped cultivate in me an appreciation for piano that led me to want to learn new pieces, learn more about music theory, and learn more about the history of classical music. Lastly, she's easy to connect with, making lessons as friendly and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any adult wanting to learn to play the piano.

Knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging

I've taken multiple lessons with Rita to learn the piano and she has taught me so much in the time I've spent with her. She personally organizes the lessons to fit my skills and gives very helpful and thoughtful advice. I couldn't be happier finding her as my teacher!
