(concealed information)
I am the founder of Icyiza’s Classes LLC, bringing over a decade of experience in helping students excel academically. I specialize in advanced mathematics, English, test preparation, and comprehensive college admissions guidance, while also teaching French, Spanish, and academic writing. My approach blends rigor with encouragement, and I design tailored study guides and lesson plans that consistently lead to measurable results in both the classroom and on standardized exams.
Many of my students have earned admission to top universities, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, UVA, Georgetown, Brown, and UCLA. Beyond individualized instruction, I have recruited and mentored fellow educators in biology, chemistry, and physics to expand the multidisciplinary reach of my practice.
Before launching my own company, I served as Program Director and Lead Instructor at Education One, where I authored a 100-page SAT grammar study guide that helped students improve their scores by more than 150 points in just 50 hours of tutoring. With fluency in multiple languages and a global perspective, I bring both expertise and empathy, inspiring confidence, curiosity, and success in every learner I work with.
My journey into teaching began in high school, where my aptitude for mathematics was consistently recognized by my instructors, who often recommended me as a resource to underclassmen seeking academic support. These early experiences ignited a profound passion for education and a commitment to helping students achieve their fullest potential, motivating me to continually refine my pedagogical approach.
After graduating high school, this dedication was further strengthened through my work at New Life Orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya, where I was specifically chosen to serve because of my exceptional skills and achievements in mathematics, including a score of 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam, an 800 on the SAT Math section, and an 800 on the SAT Math II Subject Test when it was still offered. This opportunity allowed me to cultivate learning in a diverse, challenging environment, reinforcing my belief in the transformative power of personalized instruction. I strive to create rigorous yet supportive learning experiences, empowering each student not only to master complex academic concepts but also to develop confidence, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.
Education and Training:
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics from George Mason University, where I graduated with honors. This rigorous academic foundation has been instrumental in cultivating my ability to convey complex mathematical concepts with clarity and precision.
Professional Experience:
With over a decade of experience in education, I have had the privilege of teaching at esteemed institutions such as Prince William County Public Schools and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. Additionally, I have served as a Test Preparation Instructor for The Princeton Review, specializing in comprehensive standardized test preparation.
As the founder and lead instructor of Icyiza’s Classes LLC, I have meticulously developed and implemented curricula for advanced mathematics courses, including AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Precalculus, and collegiate-level courses such as differential equations, discrete mathematics, and linear algebra. My pedagogical approach seamlessly integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring that students not only master mathematical principles but also cultivate critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and problem-solving prowess.

My typical process begins with a complimentary initial consultation, which may be conducted virtually over Zoom or in person at my professional location in Rockville, MD. During this meeting, I introduce myself to both the student and their parent or guardian and invite them to share their academic goals, challenges, and aspirations so I can form a complete understanding of the student’s needs. I also take time to demonstrate my teaching style, which relies exclusively on my iPad and laptop as a mirrored digital board. By using a notes application that seamlessly records and organizes all written work, I ensure that nothing is ever lost and that students have continuous access to every concept, problem, and solution we cover together. This thoughtful introduction allows me to design a tailored path forward—one that is not only academically rigorous but also transparent, enduring, and uniquely suited to the student’s growth.
I have worked with a diverse spectrum of students, ranging from exceptionally gifted and highly motivated learners to those in remedial academic settings. My experience also includes working with students for whom English is a second language, including West African immigrant students from Francophone backgrounds and Hispanic students. My students’ ages span from elementary through early college, a range that my extensive experience and refined instructional skills have uniquely prepared me to support. This breadth of experience has honed my ability to be multifaceted and adaptable, allowing me to tailor instruction to each student’s individual learning style, academic level, and goals, fostering both mastery of subject matter and the development of critical thinking, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
When seeking a tutor, it is essential to understand that extensive education or prestigious degrees alone do not define true expertise in the field of education. Equally important is ensuring that the instructor’s teaching style aligns with your individual mode of understanding, and that they communicate with both elegance and depth of knowledge in the subject area where guidance is needed. Prospective students should also consider the tutor’s formal training and review documented experiences of past student success, as these provide tangible evidence of the tutor’s ability to foster growth, mastery, and confidence. Ultimately, the most effective tutor is one who combines intellectual rigor, adaptability, and a proven track record of helping students achieve their academic goals.
One recent event I am particularly fond of involved volunteering with underprivileged students in my community to provide SAT preparation. Over several weeks, I had the privilege of guiding these students through rigorous practice, helping them build not only mastery of test content but also confidence, discipline, and strategic thinking. Witnessing their dedication and perseverance was truly inspiring—their hard work and resilience culminated in a median SAT score of 1310, a tangible testament to their growth and commitment. This experience reinforced my belief in the transformative power of individualized instruction and highlighted my ability to cultivate success across academic disciplines. Guiding students to reach their fullest potential, whether in mathematics, language, or critical reasoning, continues to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Before speaking with a teacher or tutor about their academic needs, students should carefully reflect on several key questions to ensure a productive dialogue. They should identify the specific subjects or topics where they feel challenged, as well as areas in which they hope to excel. Students should consider their preferred learning style—whether visual, step-by-step, discussion-based, or experiential—and clarify both short- and long-term academic goals. Equally important is assessing their readiness to commit to the personal effort required for meaningful growth, as tutoring is not a magic cure but rather a powerful stepping stone toward academic success when paired with studiousness, discipline, and diligence. By thoughtfully evaluating these aspects, students can communicate their needs clearly, enabling the tutor to design a personalized approach that maximizes understanding, confidence, and lasting achievement.

Dolores has really helped me with Precalc! I was so happy switching over.
Dolores and I started working together my freshman year of college when I struggle with pre calculus and kept working together for the 3 following years as I had to take Calc 1 and 2 and linear algebra for my Computer science major. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had, even better than my professors, and it was a blessing to be able to work with her all these years! Thank you so much Dolores »
Dolores is the best tutor I’ve ever worked with. Her knowledge of the whole SAT is absolutely amazing and I was able to increase my score by 280 points in 2 months. She’s amazing!
