Hi! I’m Youmna, and I recently graduated with departmental honors from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, where I studied Culture and Politics with a focus on U.S. foreign policy, international security, and peace studies.

Hi! I’m Youmna, and I recently graduated with departmental honors from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, where I studied Culture and Politics with a focus on U.S. foreign policy, international security, and peace studies. My interest for these fields began in high school through courses like AP United States History and AP United States Government & Politics, where I discovered how deeply questions of governance, democracy, and social development shape the world we live in. I earned 5s on both exams, and I enjoy helping students reach the same level of mastery and confidence.

I have over a year of private tutoring experience in APUSH and AP Gov, working one-on-one with high school students to strengthen both subject knowledge and test-taking skills. My approach is centered on making sure you not only understand the material but also feel prepared and calm on exam day. Every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to your individual needs—whether that means breaking down complex concepts, building stronger writing skills, or practicing with timed questions.

I’m passionate about fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment, and I see tutoring as both preparation for exams and an opportunity to connect students with the bigger picture of why the material matters. In the future, I plan to pursue graduate study, so working with students now keeps me engaged in the kind of collaborative, idea-driven learning that I value most.

I am easy to reach and always respond quickly. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I look forward to working with you!

American History

American History

I have experience privately tutoring AP U.S. History, covering all nine periods from 1491 to the present. I scored a 5 on the exam and now help students strengthen both content knowledge and historical thinking skills, including analyzing sources, making connections, and crafting strong arguments. My lessons include targeted reviews, practice multiple-choice questions, and essay prompts designed to prepare students for every section of the AP exam.
English

English

I tutor students in English Language Arts at all levels, helping them strengthen their reading comprehension, analytical writing, and communication skills. I also have over a year of experience privately tutoring AP English Language and Composition, guiding students through all nine units of the course. I scored a 5 on the AP Exam and now use that experience to teach close reading, rhetorical analysis, and crafting evidence-based arguments with clarity and precision. My lessons emphasize both content mastery and skill development through structured practice in multiple-choice questions, as well as free-response questions in the synthesis, rhetorical analysis, and argument essays. I strive to help students think critically, write persuasively, and feel confident on exam day.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

I have over a year of experience privately tutoring AP United States Government and Politics, guiding students through all five units: foundations of American democracy, the branches of government, civil liberties and civil rights, political ideologies and beliefs, and political participation. I scored a 5 on the AP exam myself and now use that experience to help students master both content and test-taking strategies. I provide structured lessons, practice multiple-choice questions, and essay prompts designed to build confidence and ensure exam readiness.
Literature

Literature

I tutor students in English Language Arts at all levels, helping them strengthen their reading comprehension, analytical writing, and communication skills. I also have over a year of experience privately tutoring AP English Literature and Composition, helping students strengthen their critical reading, literary analysis, and writing skills across all nine units of the course. I scored a 5 on the AP Exam and now use that experience to guide students through close reading of prose, poetry, and drama while analyzing literary elements such as character, structure, tone, and theme. My lessons emphasize both content mastery and test-taking strategies through structured practice in multiple-choice questions and essay writing for poetry analysis, prose analysis, and literary argument. I aim to help students think deeply, write insightfully, and approach each text, and the exam, with confidence. I have worked on countless texts, including Beloved, King Lear, Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Crime and Punishment, Their Eyes Were Watching God, The Crucible, and The Scarlet Letter, as well as many others.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I graduated from Georgetown University with honors and have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. I was accepted to every college I applied to, including Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service, the University of Pennsylvania, Emory, Georgia Tech, and UGA, through essays that combined authenticity, structure, and purpose. At Georgetown, I earned competitive awards such as the Paul F. Pelosi Public Service Scholarship and the Undergraduate Research Scholar distinction for the strength of my written work. When I guide students through personal statements, I focus on uncovering their stories in ways that reveal both intellectual depth and genuine character, qualities that resonate with admissions committees and bring each application to life.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Through years of writing and editing essays on complex topics, I developed strong skills in grammar, structure, and critical reasoning. I graduated from Georgetown University, where I completed an honors thesis in international relations and political science. During my undergraduate studies, I wrote published research for the United Nations on peace and women’s rights in Afghanistan. Through my coursework, I also wrote extensively on topics such as international development, security, migration, economics, and political systems, refining my ability to analyze and communicate complex ideas with precision. I have extensive experience reviewing personal statements for college and scholarship applications; my own essays earned admission to every university I applied to, including Georgetown, UPenn, Emory, Georgia Tech, UGA, and Wake Forest. At Georgetown, my writing received recognition through awards such as the Paul F. Pelosi Public Service Scholar and Undergraduate Research Scholar distinctions. My goal in proofreading is to help writers strengthen clarity, coherence, and analytical depth while preserving their authentic voice and unique perspective.
Psychology

Psychology

I have over a year of experience privately tutoring AP Psychology, helping students build a strong understanding across all five units: biological bases of behavior, cognition, development and learning, social psychology and personality, and mental and physical health. I scored a 5 on the AP exam and now draw on that experience to help students master complex psychological concepts and test-taking strategies. I provide structured lessons, practice multiple-choice questions, and free-response prompts (AAQ, EBQ) designed to build confidence and ensure exam readiness.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

I achieved a perfect 800/800 on the SAT Reading and Writing section and earned 5s on both AP English Language and AP English Literature, giving me a strong background in vocabulary, grammar, and critical reasoning. In my tutoring sessions, I help students recognize main ideas, interpret vocabulary in context, and analyze passage structures to improve comprehension and pacing. My lessons combine content review with repeated practice using real SAT questions. I focus on building confidence and mastery so that students feel prepared for any passage or question on test day, while also developing reading and reasoning skills that will benefit them long after the SAT.

Great AP Govt tutor

Youmna was such a great tutor for my daughter, who’s taking AP Government this semester. She helped her understand how the different branches work and interact. They also reviewed her FRQ and went through some AP test bank questions together. We’ll definitely be working with Youmna again—she was super patient, kind, and connected really well with my high schooler.
