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

...talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I am able to build with them. I believe in teaching my key patterns of thinking; teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish, as it is said. I am best at Math and...

...not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability to think about problems is not limited to mathematics and, if mastered, will stay with the student for the rest of their lives. Aside from mathematics I enjoy playing my piano. I especially...

...finding the right entryway into the material. Since teachers don't always have the time to work individually with every student, that's where a tutor comes in! I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a...

...students to approach unfamiliar problems and think critically, and often contributes to their discouragement and their writing off of entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships with...

...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 Texas at Austin. While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities,...

...a wide variety of subjects including math, Spanish, ESL, and test prep. I really enjoy tutoring geometry and algebra or SAT prep. My tutoring strengths include finding multiple ways to explain things for my students and giving real value to the learning process so that information can be retained. Outside of the academic world, I love to listen to and make music. I play volleyball, rugby, and soccer in my free time.... I make it easier...

...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 at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and hanging with...

I have tutoring experience in most math subjects through the National Honors Society and have been a teaching assistant in higher-level engineering courses such as thermodynamics, chemical processing, and lab courses. As a lab teaching assistant I have a high level of experience with technical writing help. I have also been a teaching assistant for a humanities course,...

...it's lots of middle school math!). Algebra I is my absolute favorite subject to teach and tutor - I love how it is cumulative and you keep using the skills you've learned for the rest of the year. I believe that understanding math is based on a student's skill ability. Just like a musical instrument or sport, it becomes a lot easier the more you practice it. Once you invest the time and gain understanding,...

...Literature. I have worked as a tutor for over two years with English as a Second Language (ESL) students at the high school level. I tutor Science (Biology, Physics), Mathematics (Algebra, Algebra I), and English. I enjoy tutoring Math and Physics the most because I see it like a puzzle that needs to be solved. I don't have a standard way of teaching; I prefer to meet with the student and adapt my manner of...

...and told him that I needed to be a part of his program. I immediately began to panic. Was I not doing well in my classes? He then explained that he ran a peer tutoring program through the school that matches students selected by the staff with other students who needed a little extra help. I had often answered my peers' questions in class as we worked and thought nothing of it, but apparently all...

...I am a proud Mom of their accomplishments and desires to experience all life has to offer! I love my family, my dogs (Beau and Lily), hiking, yoga, good movies, books and keeping up with current global events. I currently teach Second Grade in the top ranked Eanes ISD. This past year I was named campus Teacher of the Year. I look forward to working one on one with students to help them build confidence...

As a creative person, I've always enjoyed learning about new things through reading, traveling and experiencing things first hand. Teaching, tutoring, painting and writing are the avenues though which I best learn and express myself. I've made it a personal mission to always try new things and once I've achieved one plateau, I always seek to find the next challenge. ... I like to set him/her up with success early on in the tutoring session.... I...

...am passionate about working with kids in a hand-on learning environment. I believe that students better retain information when they can physically work with what they are learning (ex. Games, foldables, ect.). I love working with students on reading and writing. I spend most of my normal teaching day working on those two things. I believe that in order to be successful in all other academic areas you need to have a concrete reading ability....

...please people around me, so if I am your tutor you can bet that I will do my best to cater to your needs and strengths. I think the best model for tutoring is for me to help you figure out how to work through problems rather than just giving you the answer. If you take a look at my interest and hobbies, you can see that my curious drive is not limited to my...

I specialize in tutoring in the Earth Sciences (Geology, Oceanography (Marine Science), Environmental Science) and Mathematics. I enjoy teaching Earth Science because I loved learning about it myself. It allows me to view the world around me in a different way and to question why things are...

Helping students to succeed while enjoying learning is a personal joy. It adds value to my life to help others grow through education and understanding.... My teaching philosophy is to show students how their innate curiosity can be peaked for any subject matter, so they can feel excited about growing their ideas and dreams.... In a typical first session, I like to open a dialogue so we can get to know what we bring to our...

...called City Year where I worked as a tutor, mentor, and role model. Our mission was to work with students and create individualized curriculum to fill skill gaps and make sure students had the opportunity to be successful.

I understand that all students learn at different paces in different ways and make sure that each student...
