...as well as passing what I have learned on to others. I worked as a teaching assistant and as a senior preceptor for different classes at UT Austin during my undergraduate years. I understand that books can be hard to decipher quite often due to the lack of tone and author's preconceived notions about the student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual...

...learning about the material in the first place. I also discovered that the best way to explain topics is to break the topic down into its base components and to give connections and similarities to other topics. Building a strong foundation is essential to learning more sophisticated, challenging topics. I tutor a wide variety of STEM topics, with math, computer science and physics being the academic subjects that I enjoy teaching the most. I understand...

...the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience teaching college-level science labs as well as freelance tutoring. I began tutoring because I wanted to help students find success and enjoyment in conventionally challenging courses like math, science, and writing. I tutor college-level chemistry through Organic II, college-level physics through Electricity & Magnetism, and any and all math classes from middle-school math through college-level calculus. In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming...

...the music and his or her teacher listening carefully. The teacher doesn't look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying"...

...upper division undergraduate engineering courses. Beyond working with students on STEM subjects, I also work with students in standardized test prep (ACT, SAT, AP Exams, GRE, GMAT, etc.). I have a strong record in standardize tests. Most recently (November of 2015), I took the GRE exam and scored a 337/340, with a perfect 170 score on the quantitative section. While my number one priority for students I work with on standardized test prep is a...

I am currently enrolled as a Sophomore in Honors Petroleum Engineering at UT Austin. I've been tutoring math and science formally and informally most of my life from the elementary to college level. The bulk of my tutoring experience deals with high school level math and science and standardized testing. All the time I see Math...

...Algebra 2 (including ACT and SAT Math), I have helped many students prepare for the SAT and ACT. Many times smart students have issues with standardized tests due to improper test taking strategies. Every student has unique strengths and weaknesses, I focus on refining those strengths, minimizing those weaknesses and combining the proper test taking strategies in order to achieve the scores that student needs to get into the school they want.

...major at the University of Texas at Austin. I have tutored ages from elementary to junior high to high school students in a variety of subjects, but my favorite subject to teach is math. I am an alumnus of Mu Alpha Theta (MAO), the national math honor society, and was an active member all four years of high school. During my time in MAO, I competed and placed in a number of math contests and...

I love tutoring and helping students! I believe everyone is capable of learning with the right type of instruction. I have had my fair share of disappointments, but with the right kind of help, I have overcome many struggles. I believe learning doesn't happen in a day. But we should struggle to learn a little every day.

...two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so that I can best tailor classes to their needs. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute...
