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

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...

...AB/BC. I also tutored undergraduates in Linear Algebra, ODEs, and Numerical Analysis when I was at UCD. My Ecology knowledge is a lot deeper than general Biology, but I am currently studying for the GRE Biology subject test. My Biology understanding and ability to teach it gets better everyday. That said, I would be happy to help any student get organized and tackle a subject he or she is struggling with. I strongly believe in...

I've been a classroom teacher, one-on-one tutor, and small group instructor since 2005. I love connecting with students and helping them pinpoint and break through their obstacles. Looking forward to meeting you!... In a typical first session, I like to introduce myself and make the situation comfortable by showing the student that I have a laid-back demeanor and sense of humor. I will typically ask them about school, how they feel about it, what they're learning....

...University of Texas at Austin. I've been tutoring ever since high school, and I truly love it. Both of my parents are math teachers, so I think it runs in the family. I've have taken every kind of math you can think of (and a lot of maths you've never heard of). I've continued to tutor because of the amazing students I work with, and to see their passion for math grow is inspiring. Not...

...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.

I particularly love working on math problems because I enjoy the idea of breaking things down...

...Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus AB, Calculus 1, and SAT Math. Every single math-related subject is my favorite honestly because I love being able to dissect a problem and then solve it just like a surgeon. When it comes to math, I believe a student needs to learn and understand every step in solving a problem in order to create a strong foundation for them self. Besides for all these academic information, I personally enjoy playing...

...well-being. As a life-long learner myself, I genuinely enjoy imparting this appreciation for education and watching my students flourish as a result. Perhaps not surprisingly, my favorite subjects to tutor include study skills and test preparation, as the material taught can be more clearly applied across subjects and in other areas of the student’s life. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, traveling, reading about current research in the social sciences, and...

...though at a unique rate that must be met and understood. My approach to teaching a new skill and assisting struggling students is to first establish an appreciation for its "real-world" application and then to break down the concept into "step-by-step" bites. Unique strengths that I bring to the tutoring relationship are my abilities to communicate and connect with students as well as an excitement for the subject matter. I believe these gifts enable me...

...reading and coached speaking events. Most of my experience in education has been working with struggling learners. My favorite story to tell is about a student I met in middle school who was in a special education math class . She was very unsure of herself but after working with her for two years, she was able to transition into a general education math class with accommodations. She will be starting college this fall. Her...

...(AP English, AP World History, college essay-writing), and adults (business writing and English for non-native speakers). I believe that knowing how to write well is one the most beneficial, lifelong skills a student can develop, as it will give them an edge in just about any career they choose. I have been a professional business writer and editor for more than 20 years. I hold a Bachelor of Journalism degree from The University of Texas...

I am a great tutor because when I am finished tutoring a student, they not only get their work done, they understand the concept they were having trouble with. I tutored at Austin Community College for two years, I taught Secondary Mathematics for three years, and I taught at a career school for over 3 years, where I taught College Algebra, among other general education courses. ... Before getting started, I tend to get comfortable and...

...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 chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing, and more!

...learned the value of a well-rounded, dynamic educational approach which I bring to all of my studies and teaching. I have taught and researched in a range of areas but for the last three years, my particular focus has been on Classics, Archaeology and Foreign Languages at the University of Texas at Austin as a graduate student. Reading and language acquisition are two of my strongest assets, primarily working in English, Greek and Latin, but...

...full time job as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher at The Academy of Bright Horizons which focused more on academics to get the students ready for Kindergarten. After I taught Pre-K, I became a nanny for an amazing family whose kids were 4 and 6 years old. After school, I would pick up the 6 year old and start her homework with her. I was able to help guide her through the homework and gave her tips...

...help educate the minds of the future. Learning outside of the classroom is very important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many ages and learning levels. I started tutoring in high school with one student and, by word of mouth, received more students. I was a tutor in college for math...

...work on the foundations to build confidence and make a surefooted progress toward your subject goals. We try to figure out what is not working for you and reinforce what you are already doing well. If you don't understand it one way, we'll look for other ways to help you understand and learn. I like helping students search for their interests and match them with what they are learning. I use different methods and look...

...someone who could tutor Spanish because they did not have anybody and a lot of students were asking for help; the school contacted me and offered me the job. I had never tutored anybody before I started, but I decided to give it a try since I am very friendly and outgoing and it worked out so well that I stayed with the program until the day I graduated. Tutoring, for me, is a way...

...the most enjoyable things to me about teaching is the ability to give a student confidence in themselves by building upon their knowledge, providing them with problem solving skills, and ensuring their understanding of concepts. Education is a strong passion of mine, but I also enjoy traveling, cooking, snorkeling, reading, riding bicycles and playing tennis. Until a few years ago we also rode our 3 quarter horses on trails through the forest and had many...

...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.

My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my students in any way...
