"My desire to pursue a career in medicine naturally translates to a strong interest and passion for the sciences. However, my math and economics background as well as my interest in Writing and English makes me extremely excited about tutoring in a variety of other areas as well. I have tutored informally in high school (mostly in math and English), and I even worked at an after school tutoring center. I also assisted and tutored my fellow peers during my undergraduate years."

"in History (concentration in European History), I spent two years doing a Post-Bacc in Biology at the University of Houston. However, I think that my experience in two vastly different fields is a positive because it makes me better able to tutor a wide variety of subjects. In my free time, I love reading, cooking (I’m currently working on the perfect chocolate soufflé), yoga, and traveling (Costa Rica and Amsterdam are the plan for this summer). I have been tutoring since 2002 and my experience encompasses a wide range of clients, from middle-school students to college students. In addition to tutoring subjects ranging from ...

"I have always loved getting to help those younger than me with the college application process, and test prep is an important part of college admissions. I started tutoring in high school, working with special needs elementary school students.

"My first teaching placement was for an ESL 5th grade classroom where I taught all subjects to transitional bilingual students. After that experience, I began working in the charter school network teaching 7th grade Algebra for a KIPP middle school. After finishing my two-year commitment to Teach for America, I chose to leave teaching to go to graduate school. However, my then-fiance could not find a job where I wanted to go to school, so we decided to stay in Houston. We got married on September 23, 2011, and then I began teaching again, now at the high school level." ...

"I worked on every subject, but it's no surprise that literary topics were close to my heart: I love proofing essays so much that I became an Editor of my university's student paper. My pupils learned very quickly that by investing a little time to master a few basic syntactical patterns, they could successfully write with confidence! I like to keep myself busy too -- in high school I was the President of my high school's School of Communication and Public Service, the Vice-President of its National Honor Society, Latin Club, and Debate Club, and the Captain of our Academic Decathlon team. In university, I interned at a think tank and at the ...

"I have learned to assess students using both formal and informal assessment tools, collect data from the assessments and use the data to tailor lessons designed for individuals. One method of instruction does not meet the needs for all students. Knowing first what the need is of the student/learner, next create and implement procedures that will best accommodate that learners needs and style of learning. Prior to graduate school, I have 20 years of teaching experience in the Texas public school systems."

"I began tutoring at a learning center when I was in high school and worked with Pre-K through high school students for several years on reading comprehension, lower level math, writing and grammar practice. During college I transitioned to working with other college students in the Writing Center; I worked with undergraduates and graduate students on their writing projects, and taught remedial writing classes. I have frequently tutored other students in writing and Spanish and I enjoy one on one tutoring more than any other field. I am currently working part-time with home-schoolers with a large range of ages and needs, and I enjoy the ...

"I'm a newcomer to the state of Texas, and “y'all” have been very welcoming! I have extensive teaching experience: I've taught students in four different states, and two different countries, ranging in ages from kindergarten to high school. I understand the frustrations of students who want to improve their performance. When I was a student, I excelled at school not because I'm naturally brilliant, but because I have high expectations. Although history and english and how to clearly explain concepts in writing came easily to me, test taking and math did not." ...

"I think one-on-one lessons are very beneficial for students, and I would love to continue teaching here. Before leaving for Japan, I enjoyed working as a susbitute for Katy ISD. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in history, and I also feel very comfortable teaching grammar, reading, writing, editing, and Japanese. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading books, riding my bike, or watching any of Houston's great sports teams."
