Carefully selected, highly-credentialed Phonics tutors in West University Place, TX
"During my undergraduate years, I tutored for several different families and also worked with fellow college students who were struggling to make it in their classes. I have tutored in standardized test preparation, time management, history, geography, English, writing, and all elementary school subjects. Since eleventh grade, when I taught some neighborhood kids how to write essays and craft short stories, I have loved the one-on-one element of tutoring because I have the chance to really get to know a student, and then based on the student's learning style, teach them how to succeed. It's so much fun to build relationships with ...

" Here, I had the privilege of teaching seventh grade, all subjects, at a school on the edge of the Jicarilla Apache reservation. Less than 100 people were currently living in the small mining town where the school stood, and I can't imagine a better context for learning to work closely with students and their families.
Most of my professional work has involved helping people to communicate. I love to teach writing, and I am as comfortable reviewing academic papers as I am teaching junior high and high school students."

"I believe in meeting every student where they are and challenging them incrementally to apply themselves towards new and worthy goals. English and Science are two of my favorite subjects! Helping little ones learn to read and older students improve their writing is particularly rewarding for me. Additionally, I am passionate about American History and Political Science. In my free time, I love being outdoors and spending time with friends! Some of my favorite pastimes include running with my dog, going fishing, cooking, and working in my garden. ." ...

"I spent my “formative” years overseas, primarily in Europe and Asia.

"in Biology and a minor in Chemistry but became a teacher because of how much I enjoy teaching kids. I grew up being very involved in our church's nursery ministry and discovered my true passion to help kids learn and grow. Part of the reason I became a teacher is because of the gratification I receive from teaching. I truly enjoy watching my students learn and grow as the year progresses. I consider myself to be an incredibly fun and enthusiastic teacher, but it is also very important for me to show my students the importance of discipline." ...

"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 ...

"Because I love learning, I look for ways to transmit my passions to others by teaching them. Another reason I enjoy tutoring lies in my own experience as a student. I had to work very hard for the grades it took to get to college, so I understand the problems of the struggling student, and I try my best to relate the methods I personally used to overcome those obstacles. I've tutored high school-level Chemistry and Algebra as well as SAT prep, but I also have an extensive background in Spanish and French and am very familiar with Biology, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, among other subjects. In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, and catching up with ...

"I started tutoring in high school and have tutored elementary through college-aged students, as well as teaching 10th grade English for a year and serving as a teaching assistant at Harvard University and the University of Cape Town. I've tutored test prep, English, literature, writing, math, and social sciences. My undergraduate degree is from Wellesley College and my masters is from Harvard, so while I've spent seven years in Boston's frigid clime, I love being back in my hometown. I have "itchy feet," according to my dad--I love to travel, and have been to more than 20 countries. I lived in South Africa for two years on a research ...
