Hi! I’m Youmna, and I graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service with honors, where I studied Culture and Politics with a concentration in International Development and Security.

I tutor English, the humanities, and the social sciences. My subject areas include Art History, Comparative Government and Politics, Literature, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Psychology, US Government and Politics, US History, and World History. I also provide test preparation for these subjects at the AP level, as well as SAT Reading and Writing and the SAT Essay. My approach to standardized test preparation focuses on building a strong understanding of commonly tested question types, developing effective strategies, and improving pacing and confidence.

Through years of writing, editing, and academic research on complex topics, I have developed strong skills in structure, argumentation, and critical analysis. At Georgetown, I completed an honors thesis in international relations and published research on political science, jurisprudence, and religion. My coursework encompasses global politics, economics, and literature, providing me broad familiarity with both analytical writing and literary texts.

I also have extensive experience reviewing personal statements for college and scholarship applications. When working with students on personal and supplemental essays, I focus on helping them articulate their stories with clarity, intellectual depth, and authenticity, qualities that resonate with admissions committees and bring applications to life.

I am committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative learning environment. I view tutoring not only as preparation for exams and assignments, but also as an opportunity to help students understand why idea-driven learning matters and how it connects to the world beyond the classroom.

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

Detail-Oriented Tutor Who Gets Real Results

Youmna tutored my son for just one month before his SAT and his Reading & Writing jumped 80 points — from 660 to 740, moving him to the 97th percentile. Every content domain improved. She is always on time, detail-oriented, and consistently asks how he arrived at his answers to understand his thought process rather than just correct mistakes. We are continuing with her for his next attempt. Highly recommend.

One Session, and We Knew We’d Found the Right Tutor!

My daughter is a freshman in college and was struggling with microeconomics. She just had her first session with Youmna, and she was absolutely amazing with my daughter.

Excellent SAT Tutoring with Practical Strategies and Helpful Study Materials

Youmna was very knowledgeable about the SAT structure and provided valuable insights into how to approach and tackle different types of test questions. She shared practical strategies to improve test-taking skills and build confidence.
