I was really impressed by the difference his patience made and I...

I graduated in 2011 from Carleton College, a liberal arts school in Minnesota. After graduating, I moved to San Antonio, Texas to work with an educational non-profit that works in Title I schools.

I am excited to be joining Varsity Tutors, and look forward to helping...

I hold a degree in Biology and Chemistry and will be starting Medical School in August 2017.

...understand the needs of the student. This is so important because it establishes an environment where both the student and the tutor feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings about the material. In a tutoring session, a student should feel open to ask questions and express concerns. Outside of academics, I enjoy sports, specifically triathlon. I competed on UT's club triathlon team for four years, and I absolutely enjoyed it. I also play tennis when...

...is a topic that is hard to impress with in general. Q: What interests you outside of academia? A: I love learning. I find it hard to not be learning on topics that are in the realm of academia. However, I will say that one issue I have on academia is that it isn't as practical-oriented as it could and should be. So, I want to change that. In terms of what I am interested...

...subjects I am passionate about and have done well in, math and science.

I enjoy helping others realize their potential and making the impossible possible. Everyone can reach their goals, and it is my goal to help you reach yours! Math is my favorite subject, and I have even participated in competitions for it. I hope to help others fall in love with math as well.

I am a retired middle school and Algebra teacher. I love teaching math to students who may not have discovered the joy that solving a problem can bring. Learning comes through our mistakes but it is not defined by them.
