Gabrielle Zwi
Hello! My name is Gabrielle and I have been tutoring for over nine years. So far, I have tutored a variety of elementary school subjects, Pre-algebra through Algebra 2, and SAT Prep. In addition to academic tutoring, I give beginners' ukulele and voice lessons. I have been a Teaching Artist with The Civic Circle, Carpe Diem Arts, ArtStream, and Arts for Learning Maryland, and a music teacher at Beth Chai Sunday School.

I am extremely thankful to have grown up with parents that are both teachers. My father is a physics professor at Montgomery College, and my mother is a public school teacher who has taught every grade from kindergarten through high school. My learning and growing process as a student, a tutor, and a music teacher has been greatly influenced by seeing them in action.
I am also Autistic and have ADHD. I believe that my life-long experience as a neurodivergent student has enabled me to help other students with identifying learning challenges and finding creative solutions.
If you are interested in working with me, or would like to speak to one of my references, please send me a message!
