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

...also the most fun way. I also believe in building my students' confidence in themselves and their own abilities and knowledge. One of the key ingredients to doing well on homework assignments and exams is to be confident in oneself. Confidence leads to perseverance and tenacity, but it is often the first quality that is lost when a student is having trouble in school. I believe that by helping my students realize just how capable...

...in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their...

...tutor is to show my students how exciting learning can be. Through enthusiasm and a genuine love for math and the sciences, I hope to influence my students to adopt this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years. I have been tutoring for years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have gained and the friendships I have made with other...

...makes mistakes and has struggles, but the important thing is that you can move past those roadblocks. As a tutor, I try really hard to help students connect the material they are studying inside the classroom to their passions outside the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is relevant to their own lives. My personal interests include theatre (especially Shakespeare), reading and writing, arts and crafts, baking,...

...I am passionate about tutoring mathematics, physics, chemistry, and ACT prep. By having a proficient understanding of the material, combined with an inquiry-based teaching style I feel as though I am able to convey difficult concepts to students in a way that they will remember and enjoy. Outside of academia, I enjoy running, wrestling, and other sports. I also like being outdoors, reading, and cooking. I am very enthusiastic about math and science and love...

...in California I came to Austin and in the two years I have been here I have started a professional acting career in films, plays, commercials and other fun arenas. I love teaching and learning in just about any subject but I am most fond of languages, literature History - there's just so much humanity and adventure and passion and awesomeness and...we'll you catch my drift :) I have taught and tutored children as young...

...in Mechanical Engineering at 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...

...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 aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also...

...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" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out exactly the student already knows and what his or her strengths are, and move forward...

...chemistry and even standardized tests such as the PCAT and MCAT. I also have work experience in revising and writing questions for these tests. Lastly, I am a TA for anatomy and physiology at my university and this has been my favorite teaching experience. My favorite subjects to tutor are math (anything from geometry and SAT math to calculus) and science- particularly biology and chemistry. I love subjects such as anatomy, neuroscience and organic chemistry,...

...I just graduated with a Bachelors of Science from the Moody College of Communication at the University of Texas at Austin, which is pretty exciting! It also puts me in the same boat as a lot of my pupils, as they are getting ready for their post-high school, college life! Getting ready for the world of colleges as exciting as it is scary, but I'm here to help in a number of ways! The SAT...

...curriculum to fill skill gaps and make sure students had the opportunity to be successful. I believe in putting in the extra time to make sure that I teach toward each student’s learning style. I understand that all students learn at different paces in different ways and make sure that each student is getting their best education. One-on-one tutoring situations are ideal for making sure that’s possible. I am patient, inquisitive, enthusiastic, and look forward...

...tutoring jobs. I am also a member of the Honors College here at Texas State, as well as a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. As a tutor, my goals are to improve the student's confidence in the course work and help them find the techniques and pacing that work best for their individual studying needs. I am well versed in test prep work as well. I am a great tutor because I...

...in high school. My tutoring specialty is middle school math, Algebra I, and of course SAT math (because 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,...

...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 competitions both locally and nationally. My other experiences in math include Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, SAT Subject Mathematics: Levels 1 and 2, Multivariable Calculus, and Differential Equations. My past teaching...

...Chicago where I received a large scholarship to attend Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. I have a passion for entrepreneurship and within a year of graduating from MSU started my first company (I am now on my second). I have always valued education but at times saw that teaching methods did not adapt appropriately to the student. There is more than one way to learn material. Because of that I hope to spend some...

Hello! I am a young educator with four years of tutoring experience. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher, but I miss working one to one with students. A good tutor knows the subject material and knows how to make it interesting to the student. I'd like to make learning fun and foundational for my students! ... No two brains work the same way. A good teacher knows that in order for a...

...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 teaching to what works best for them. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading books, and if there is a movie adaptation I'll...

...English language based on their first language. One way I teach to students is is by understanding their first language and their process of thinking.
