Bio

I have been a student for many years and I continue learning new things every day. I am very familiar with the experience of being a student, whether it's at an Elementary level, Middle school level, High School, or college. I graduated from GMU with a Master's degree in Education K-6. GMU taught me to be resourceful, to cater my teaching to different learning styles, and to connect curriculum to the real world.

I have been a student for many years and I continue learning new things every day. I am very familiar with the experience of being a student, whether it's at an Elementary level, Middle school level, High School, or college. I graduated from GMU with a Master's degree in Education K-6. GMU taught me to be resourceful, to cater my teaching to different learning styles, and to connect curriculum to the real world.

I believe that anyone can make academic progress with proper support from the tutor/teacher/mentor as well as hard work on the student's part. I also believe that learning should be rigorous but fun. I usually try to incorporate various methods of teaching and concrete materials to keep lessons fresh and interesting.

Aside from private tutoring 200+ hours through Wyzant's platform, I have taught an advanced S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)-based Kindergarten program at a private academy and taught Elementary students in a public school setting for over 8 years. Currently I'm supporting English language as an EL teacher in 2nd grade in a public school; I teach all the main subjects while focusing on developing language skills.

I hope that I can help you or your child succeed in your studies as well as show you that learning can be fun!:)
Thank you for reading my profile and for your consideration!

Reading

I have successfully taught a group of Kindergarten students to read within one school year. We began the school year by learning about the sounds of letters, then sound blends, three to four letter words, sight words, and eventually progressed to reading simple sentences. I also worked as a reading/writing tutor for a public school where I taught students K-2 reading/writing/spelling strategies using Jan Richardson methods.

I have taken various English classes throughout my school/college careers which taught me all about writing, have given me lots of practice with essay and research paper writing, and allowed me to perfect my skills. I taught K-6 students to write, and I serve as a proofreader to many adults and kids alike in my spare time.

Knowledgeable and friendly tutor

Today was Darya's first lesson with my kid. And she discussed all her future strategies in depth and my kid looks satisfied with her. I asked my kid and she explained in detail, means she did understand what Darya taught her. We are hoping to have good results with us.

Great teacher, very patient!

Darya has been very helpful for my 8yr old going into third grade. She has helped her learn new tricks with math, and also phonics and grammar. I would definitely recommend her!

Good with little kids

I highly recommend this teacher. My daughters took a month of class and they enjoyed their time with Darya always looking forward for their next class.

Daniela, 8 lessons with Darya

Terrific service!

Around 3 months back I was looking for someone to help my daughter(7th grade) with Algebra. Wyzant & Darya was a find! Darya was able to come in and help all her doubts. Last week my daughter did her SOL and the results far exceeded my expectation. Thanks again to Darya's dedication & patience with coaching her!

Zubeda, 11 lessons with Darya

Great Tutor

Darya is helping my son in Math 7th great. She is very knowledgeable of the concepts and is working with him on following the steps and practicing. My son was happy after the sessions as he felt he is trusting himself more. He is looking forward to working with her in the course of this year. Thank you Darya.

Jamie , 12 lessons with Darya

Very patient and understanding. Responds back quickly when I reach out to Darya.

Elementary Math = Very patient and understanding to try and find the best way for my daughter to understand. Darya has been a great tutor for Amanda to try and help her get the basics down so we can build on to help get her to grade level for 5th grade this year. Amanda has always struggled with math and my husband and I decided she needed the one on one help that she isn't getting in public school. Amanda has an IEP but the school's sole purpose for kids is to find a way for them to pass SOL tests even if they haven't learned the skills to pass. I'm so glad we found Darya and I'm hopeful with the progress she is making.
