- Location: In-home tutoring in Vienna, VA

About the Student
The student is a motivated rising third-grade student whose primary academic objective is to strengthen his understanding of the concepts assessed on the Naglieri General Ability Test (NGAT), with a particular focus on the quantitative reasoning section.
He demonstrates strong academic potential and responds especially well to visual and kinesthetic learning approaches, including diagrams, graphic representations, hands-on activities, movement, and active learning experiences.
The ideal tutor will be patient, encouraging, and supportive, as the student is naturally quiet and reserved and may need additional time to feel comfortable participating and expressing his ideas. A tutor who can create a positive learning environment, build his confidence, and encourage him to take academic risks will be especially well suited for this assignment.
