Maria N. Washington
As CEO, Executive Director, co-founder and board president, education has always been personal to me. Seeing how customized tutoring transformed my own child’s confidence and success inspired me to bring that same support to families in my community. As a Tutor Doctor franchise owner, I love watching students grow in both skills and self-belief while giving parents peace of mind.
With a background in pharmacy, business management, and healthcare, I bring a detail-oriented and problem-solving mindset to education. My MBA and experience managing outpatient clinics have equipped me to build a tutoring service that truly prioritizes individual student success. More importantly, navigating my own child’s educational journey gave me firsthand insight into the challenges families face—fueling my passion for personalized learning.
Through careful assessments, individualized learning plans, and a deep commitment to student success, AM Pathways to Success Foundation strives to ensure that every learner has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
