Award-Winning ACT Math Tutors for Students in Austin, TX

...I learned to love helping people fundamentally understand material - the why and how, not just memorization. Teaching is an opportunity for me to continue to engage with the subjects I fell in love with when I was in school, and I hope to impart some of that passion on to any student I take on. I love teaching Mathematics and Physics, but I can be a resource for nearly all subjects up to a...

...I realized how much I enjoyed helping others learn what seemed to come so easy to me. After graduating, I worked for a year to pay off my student loans and then enrolled at Wayne State University in Detroit to get my secondary certification. After moving to Texas where a brother of mine lives, I got certified to teach math, chemistry, and physics. After teaching chemistry for six years, I moved to the Austin area...

I'm an entering freshman at the University of Texas at Austin to study Computer Science. I''m here to help students grow and prepare for standardized tests like the ACT, AP exams and help out with STEM in general.

...school students in algebra and calculus. My main goal as a tutor is for my students to understand the fundamentals really well so that they can tackle any kind of problem relating to math. I try to make math more relatable and interesting so that students can fully grasp the concept behind algebra, calculus, etc rather then simply memorizing equations and plugging in numbers. In addition, I have taught intro Japanese to college students. I...

...University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and...

I believe that all students can learn to love the process of learning. As humans education never stops as long as we are breathing. Why shouldn't it be exciting and interesting? It is not reserved for a select few. Everyone should have the opportunity to believe in their best.

My goal is to help others grow through both work and knowledge, and when students succeed, I succeed.

...to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT. Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.

...Distinguished Finalist for the Prudential Spirit of Community Award. I attended an early college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where I worked with struggling students one-on-one. I then transferred to Texas A&M University, where I earned a B.S. in Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began...

...school. Before I entered law school, while I was getting my master's degree, I tutored a variety of high school subjects and the SAT and ACT. I enjoy tutoring immensely, and after nearly eight years of doing it, I have developed a repertoire of tricks that help my students learn more easily. I particularly enjoy tutoring high school math and physics, Spanish, and literature, but I have experience in most subjects. I know many, many...

...becoming increasingly confident and competent in whatever subject they wish to be tutored for. I strive to not only teach them the concepts and materials, but how to study more efficiently and develop conceptual capabilities that will benefit their academic career in the future. In the past, I have been a writing mentor at my high school and worked with children through a organization called Breakthrough Austin. I was also a leader for a summer...

...or to field assignments to collect samples from livestock. Growing up in a household where everyone has a science degree, it was a natural choice to pursue an undergraduate major in biological sciences and I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2015. While I immensely enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student, I soon realized that there were other paths I had left undiscovered in my educational journey. Until the age of nine, I...

...toward this STEM career, I am passionate about my studies in the sciences, particularly those in math and chemistry. Working through my classes I have come to appreciate the value of accountability and confidence I have received from my experience with tutoring services, and I aim to instill those values in my students. Outside of the classroom I enjoy physical activities such as tennis and rock climbing, or playing board games like The Settlers of...

My philosophy is to be patient and help the student become an independent learner (to tutor myself out of a job!). I especially enjoy helping students develop self-confidence through working through as much of the material as they can on their own, providing hints when they need them.

...students in Community College and also students wanting to enter college, but lacking basic skills. The ability to help such students give me tremendous satisfaction. I have found that most students have a willingness to do well, but lack the understanding as to how to pursue their goals. It is only after winning over these students, and in many cases, even going out of the way to help them, that they are really able to...

...in my public library in New Jersey. I ran the class for two years and enjoyed teaching my students the essentials needed for these two tests. As the head teacher I had a lot of responsibilities such as making mock tests, making sure every student understood all the content, Organizing each class day every week, and getting assistant teachers to help me out for free. I know that I am a good teacher because every...

I recently graduated from college with a degree in biology with an emphasis in ecology and evolution. I love to spend time outdoors, play ultimate frisbee and pretend I'm a mad scientist when I do genetics problems.

...for learning. In high school, I challenged myself by taking as many AP exams as possible. Doing so not only shaped my love of education but also challenged me to become a self-taught learner. Using what I learned from AP exam preparation allowed me to become a National Merit Finalist, two-time National AP Scholar, and valedictorian of my graduating class of over 600 students. While my favorite subjects to tutor are high school-level and engineering...

...kids. Now, I teach at at local colleges. I have been doing paid and unpaid tutoring for 25 years now. My son became a doctor in the army, he also has a degree in Biochemical engineering. My daughter graduated from UC Berkeley Energy Engineering with honors. I always volunteered at my children's schools. Now that my children do not need me as much as before; I try to help other children and young adults more....

...to college, the pre-medical courses I was taking were very difficult for me. I had never had a tutor before, and I had a hard time asking others for help. However, once I did, the tutors that I had quite literally changed how I studied and learned material. Specifically, a tutor that I had in Organic Chemistry really changed my entire perspective on it. He showed me new ways to learn the material, motivated me...
