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

...- 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 point. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing chess, reading,...

...material at hand, relating to the adage that if you don't use it, you lose it. Like I mentioned, learning math can actually be fun, especially the feel of success. Of course, my whole life isn't all math. Personal interests, outside of family life, include collecting. From things like old toys, lunch boxes, cartoon character cookie jars, comics, collector cards, and more, I've probably have or had a collection of sorts. Many things have even...

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.

...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 am fluent in Japanese, and I believe that I...

...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 the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related...

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.

...in New York for ten years, I came 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...

...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 a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of...

...fund my living expenses while I go to 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...

...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 camp where we taught English to non-English speakers. I...

...intellectually challenging time. At the LBJ School, I honed my critical thinking, research, and writing skills. While in graduate school, I wanted to maintain by "science muscles" and thus served as a teaching assistant to Pre-Med students. I taught a variety of biology and genetics classes, both lectures and labs. From this experience, I gained enormous leadership skills, learned to teach as various knowledge levels. After instructing more than 200 students during my time at...

...of Science in Biochemistry at St. Edward's University. I am studying to enter medical school and become a physician. As I am driven 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...

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.

...have been able to help thousands of struggling 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...

...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 student I ever taught either received a 4 or...

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.

...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 calculus, I am happy to tutor in a range...

...first child in my large extended family to graduate from middle school, and I was able to go all the way to get a college degree and then a PhD. After I did, almost all of my siblings and cousins graduated from college and I was always there to help them--until I had to move to US to get my doctorate. However, to this day, they say that I not only helped them to learn,...

...correct the teaching assistants on their mistakes. After this experience, I realized the immense impact that tutors can have on others, and I really wanted nothing more than to help people who were struggling like I once was. Earlier this year, a girl reached out to me for private tutoring in Organic Chemistry, and I literally jumped at the opportunity to finally be able to share my knowledge. Throughout the semester, I enjoyed preparing for...
