A Guide to Private Schools: The Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland Edition

Ann Dolin's newest book offers key data and 'in-the-field' information about nearly 100 private schools and application processes across the Washington, DC metropolitan area, with a concerted focus on the importance of selecting the right school for each individual child's learning style - a key cornerstone of Dolin's personal and professional beliefs and a founding philosophy of her in-home tutoring company, Educational Connections (ectutoring.com).

In addition, A Guide to Private Schools takes a fresh, first-hand approach to simplify this process and highlight several key areas parents should consider, in order to effectively guide them in making this decision for their child, including:

• A full insider's guide to the private school admissions process
• The pros and cons of attending either public or a private school
• Tips on how many schools to apply to and when to begin the application
• Ann's rules for bettering your chances of acceptance
• In depth profiles on 94 DC area private schools.

I am thrilled to announce the release of my second book, focused on helping parents select the right private school in the area for their child, author Ann Dolin states. My key goal is to help arm parents with the information and first-hand experience I have amassed over my career in education and tutoring to help them make the right choices for their children, while weighing the critical and timely issues of application processes, competition, and financial commitments. I hope all parents considering a private education for their child in the DC metro area will take the time to read this book!

This second title follows Ann's debut book, Homework Made Simple - Tips, Tools, and Solutions for Stress-Free Homework, published in 2011 and the winner of numerous industry accolades, including the Independent Book Publishers Association 2011 Parenting Book of the Year Award. Homework Made Simple was also selected as a finalist for the Foreword Book Review's Parenting Book of the Year Award.
