Award-Winning ACT English Tutors in Austin, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

...math and science and standardized testing. All the time I see Math and Science get kind of a bad reputation and its a shame because I really have a passion for these subjects. In my experience, it isn't that these subjects are inherently more difficult but rather they're often taught in a very cookie cutter, 'memorize this' format. And while this can work for some I believe a student must know not just the 'hows'...

...think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned. I like working with students that are self motivated and want to have a tutor, no matter their current skill level in a class. Having a great teacher or tutor won't help if the student does not want...

...of Arts and Sciences. While at Washington University, I majored in an interdisciplinary program for philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school. I served as a residential advisor for two years and have experience tutoring and counseling students in that capacity. I believe taking the time to listen to and understand others is the best way to find out how to help them. I've always appreciated this in my...

...expertise lies in essay, paper, and speech writing/editing, non-calculus based statistical analysis, basic algebra, and in test prep skills. My ultimate desire is not only to help students understand subjects that they may be struggling with, but to help them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of the classwork itself creates a student driven by curiosity...

...the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies...

...and studied Applied Mathematics and Philosophy, while also pursuing pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in...

...Houston. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2008 and have been doing research at MD Anderson Cancer Center since that time. I have always been interested in helping students master science and math. I tutored chemistry as an undergraduate and more recently have worked with high school students in a variety of math and science subjects. I always strive to set goals with the student and plan a path to meet those goals. Additionally, I...

...and about teaching. It was also exciting to travel and see the world. Since I've returned, I have been teaching and tutoring in the Austin area. While I have tutored a wide range of subjects including English, Chemistry, Physics, Social Studies, French, Arabic and ESL, my favorite subject to teach is Math. I have loved math since I was a student myself and I really enjoy getting to share knowledge with my students and show...

I just finished my freshman year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in mathematics and economics with a minor in philosophy. I love learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, Chinese, and English. My tutoring strengths are in math, but I can tutor in a wide range of subjects.

...the high school and college levels. I began as a French teacher and later branched out into English, ESL, history, and cultural studies. As an ESL teacher, I provided students with academic support in all subjects. I know that each student has a unique set of talents, experiences, and interests. My goal as a tutor is to help students draw on their strengths, build confidence, and develop skills. As a tutor, I have worked with...

After attending UT-Austin where I worked with the women's basketball team, I have been teaching and coaching for over 25 years. I love teaching English and Math and coaching basketball and track! I was in charge of a credit recovery program for the past thirteen years, so I understand the concept of "everyone can learn." Students all have different abilities. The trick is finding each student's strengths and building success from there!

I am currently a Biomedical Engineering undergraduate student with aspirations to attend medical school. I believe in a bottom-up approach when teaching students to ensure a holistic understanding of the subject.

...vital for success in this country, and for better or worse standardized testing is a necessary step in applying to colleges. Though these tests can seem daunting, I believe that with the right amount of hard work and preparation, each student can achieve the results he or she desires. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I like nothing more than a good book or movie that makes me think, though I also enjoy watching and playing...

I hope to help people live smarter lives.

I am currently attending the University of Texas at Austin, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Infectious diseases. My goal is to help people better understand basic biology and perhaps attend medical school in the near future.

...University in St. Louis. However, I never forgot Intercultura and the freedom it allowed me to pursue my budding academic interests. I have tried to bring that same principle of student self-construction into my role as a tutor; whether I've been preparing collegians for the LSAT, or helping kindergarteners learn to read. I enjoy working with each student to find the best way for him/her to attack the subject material. I am able to tutor...

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!... The answer is out there. I really do think that, no matter what the problem is, a solution can be found if we all work hard enough!... Discuss what subjects or concepts the student is struggling with, and what study methods just haven't worked for them in the past. That way, we can tackle the problem from a new angle and with a fresh approach!

...a Physics major and Philosophy of Law minor at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience tutoring concepts, strategies, and preparation in the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, as well as the general subjects listed on my profile. I believe in creating an interesting and engaging environment focused on mastering the fundamentals effectively, personalized in a way that makes the most sense to the student, in order to conquer more complex concepts.

...ELA instruction. I have loved this opportunity to work with the next generation of teachers, as well as this chance to work with undergraduate students. In addition to my coaching and teaching duties, I'm beginning to develop my own research; my interests include digital literacy (particularly literacies related to gaming) and ways that students develop identities as writers. I'm passionate about working with students and helping them find and develop their own strengths as readers...
