Award-Winning Reading Tutors in San Marcos, TX

...St. John's College of Annapolis. I have 3 years of experience tutoring writing and 2 years of experience teaching English and writing in the college classroom. My favorite subject to tutor is Writing, but I also enjoy doing test prep -- tests can be a fun challenge for the student, and I love helping students to see it that way! I believe that any subject can be fun if you look at it in the...

...an undergraduate, I attended a prestigious honors program at the University of Texas at Austin. In essence, I have years of experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications. I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students,...

...this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to unite my love of literature with my passion for social justice to become an inspirational and effective educator of underserved preteen and teenage students. My tutoring style is very positive...

...friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a 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...

...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 from there.

...speeds and processes. However, I have found that a learning experience which places a heavy emphasis on communication, structure, and critical thinking can play a significant role in cognitive development and long term skill retention. In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to...

...familiarity with the teachers. It was a driving factor in the my college choice. I went to Swarthmore College, a liberal arts college outside of Philadelphia. There, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies. I plan to continue my education and get a Master's in Public Policy. My tutoring philosophy partially comes from what worked with me, but it also from my experience working with students. I worked in a high school as...

...college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local 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...

...learning disabilities. I believe every student has the potential to succeed, it is just a question of 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...

...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 as 5 up through college aged folk as well. My parents are both professors so I guess I was bitten at an early age with the education bug. Like them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful...

...Math 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...

I graduated from UTSA in 2007 and received my Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies. Since graduating, I have been working in the public school system, teaching grades K - 4th. I have also tutored a variety of subjects to students after school. I'm most passionate about Reading and Writing. I have over 10 years of experience helping and preparing students for standardized testing in Texas.

I am currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Government and Economics. I have done lots of academic tutoring throughout my student career, but upon completing LSAT preparation for myself, I feel prepared to tutor others as well. However, I also tutor in other subjects. I believe that studying can be fun and easy, when an expert tutor can explain complex ideas in simple terms.

I teach ESL, English, Literature, and Music. I have been teaching since 2012 and have a BA and MM in Music Performance. I have experience working with students of all ages and bring language, music, drama, and poetry to life in my lessons! See you in class!

...algebra, and trigonometry. As a senior I began tutoring for the ACT as well, improving my students scores by several points. I currently attend UT Austin as a government major and premed minor with a 4.0 GPA. As a sophomore I was a part of the general chemistry teaching staff as a peer learning assistant, where I made sure that students understood the material. I have a total of approximately 4 years of tutoring experience....

...in order to contribute to the success of others! I firmly believe in a holistic style of education one that places an emphasis on the student as opposed to the content. From personal experience, I am aware that every person learns differently from one another and ground my style of teaching in what best suits my students as well as mastery of the topic. In today's educational climate, not every student has the opportunity to...

I want all my students to be successful whether they are preschoolers with special needs or college students. I like to find ways to make the material relate to real life and be exciting, because I believe that learning should be fun. I believe that if students can have fun and relate to the material they are more likely to retain the information.

...feels like yesterday that I was in your shoes. It's great that you are taking the LSAT seriously, because doing well on it can create a lot of opportunities for you--including scholarships and admissions to top schools. The truth is, everyone can do well on the LSAT because the test is not what's necessarily hard...it's learning how the test writers want you to think that is hard. I'll teach you how they want you to...

My goal as an educator is to aid in my students' personal growth as writers, researchers, and scholars. Reading, writing, and critical thinking are essential tools for developing progress as students. My experiences as a college graduate, educator, and graduate student all allow me to empathize with my students, as well.

...I now work as a Forensic Photographer with the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Laboratory. Throughout my life, I have constantly helped out in my mother's elementary school classroom. I would read to her class and tutor those struggling in reading as well as math. Some of these students returned for tutoring all the way through middle school. In college, I tutored a student in the basics of photography. While I have worked with...
