About Donya

Hi, I’m Donya—a professor, curriculum designer, and incoming PhD student in Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Virginia. With over 7 years of experience teaching reading and writing to more than 700 students across middle school, high school, and college, I specialize in helping learners feel confident, capable, and clear in their communication. My approach is supportive, culturally responsive, and results-driven. Whether we’re working on reading comprehension, a research paper, or a college essay, I’m here to guide you step by step with strategies that actually make sense. I believe learning should feel empowering—not overwhelming. I’ve helped students get into top universities, improve their writing by several grade levels, and rediscover a love of reading. No matter where you’re starting from, I’ll meet you there with patience, structure, and genuine care.

As a professor, curriculum designer, and literacy specialist, my tutoring approach is rooted in care, clarity, and culturally responsive teaching. I tailor every session to the student’s specific needs—whether we’re building foundational reading skills, polishing a college essay, or refining a professional resume.

Teaching Method & Techniques
My sessions balance explicit instruction with guided practice and meaningful feedback. I use real-world examples, scaffolded models, and evidence-based literacy strategies to support growth in reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking. I also integrate confidence-building affirmations and reflection to help students take ownership of their learning.

A Typical Lesson Plan
Each session follows a clear structure:
- A quick check-in or warm-up activity
- A targeted mini-lesson (grammar, thesis development, reading strategy, etc.)
- Practice with immediate feedback (collaborative or independent)
- A recap with next steps or a mini-assignment to reinforce skills

What Sets Me Apart
I bring 7+ years of classroom experience across middle school, high school, and college levels—plus a trauma-informed and culturally sustaining approach. I don’t just teach skills; I build confidence, voice, and purpose in each learner. Students often say I “make writing make sense,” and that I help them feel seen and supported.

Who My Lessons Are For
- Ages 5–16 needing support in reading, writing, grammar, or ELA enrichment
- High school juniors/seniors working on college applications or scholarship essays
- College students needing writing support, research guidance, or portfolio feedback
- Young professionals seeking resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn help

Virtual sessions are available for all. In-person sessions are offered in the Hampton Roads, VA area.
