Award-Winning ACT Science Tutors in San Marcos, TX

...decided to spend a year teaching English in China after graduation. It was the best decision I've ever made and I learned so much, about myself 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...

...Reading Curriculum and Instruction from Concordia University. I have also recently completed a teacher certification program at Judson University. I have several years of experience working with students from pre-K to high school in the areas of Reading, Writing and Language Arts, as well as Math and ACT/SAT preparation. I have worked with students of varying abilities, including those with learning difficulties and gifted students. I grew up in Chicago, but was born in Ukraine,...

...and in one-on-one tutoring. Last summer, I tutored with Breakthrough and taught rising eighth graders algebra. During school, I would lead math tutoring sessions once a week during lunch, helping with students with anything from arithmetic to linear algebra. More informally, I'd review people's college essays and creative writing assignments to make their writing more compelling, and help my younger friends study for standardized tests. In my free time I like to write, loudly belt...

...DJing and playing guitar. Originally from the Chicago area, I am a huge Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and Cubs fan. My tutoring experience began in Chicago while volunteering for 826CHI, a non for profit that paired kids with volunteers to help them with their creative writing work. After moving to Los Angeles, I picked up hours taking care of a kid for a great family. A huge part of my responsibilities included after school tutoring. I...

...Pursuing such a technical degree, my specializations are in Math and Physics. I have a special passion for math and physics and I believe students only dislike it when is taught in too regimented a manner, as is often the case in schools. I'll help them truly grasp concepts and teach them the tips and tricks I have learned through the years. The excitement a student feels when they understand what they're doing (and not...

...and the science together is to get up and do it. Scientists, of course, spend a lot of time reading and writing; but the true understanding of a topic comes when you can both experience the consequences of the concept and explain them to another person. Students will spend a lot of time in my physics sessions sliding, spinning, dropping, rolling, skidding, pushing and pulling themselves, non-breakable objects or even the occasional family member. Don't...

...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 subjects including...

...and science can be challenging and frustrating, but I have personally seen what is it like for something to finally click with a student. All students come from different backgrounds, and will have different goals and expectations from themselves and from me. I believe that with my help anyone should be able to meet and hopefully even achieve their expectations. Because no two students are the same, I believe that it is important to evaluate...

...Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school. I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high school up to the Biomedical Engineering program,...

...when I was a student, reaching that moment was one of the best feeling because you feel like you've overcome a huge obstacle, so I would love to help bring that feeling to everyone I tutor. I tutor in Algebra, Psychology, Test Prep, and a few other subjects as well. I really enjoy tutoring ACT because I enjoy teaching the little tricks that I learned and helping students gain any edge they can get. I...
