Award-Winning GMAT Tutors in Austin, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

I just finished my freshman year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in mathematics and economics with a minor in philosophy. I love learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, Chinese, and English.

...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.

...GPA of 3.4-3.5, and scored in the 90-95th percentiles on my SAT, GMAT, and CPA. Whether I'm teaching undergraduate accounting classes, training staff accountants, or explaining concepts to fellow students during study sessions, I greatly enjoy articulating concepts and puzzling out the best way to engage learners and convey information in an accessible way. I love seeing the lightbulb moments when information clicks. I look forward to exploring teaching in a new way through tutoring.

I have a passion for learning and for helping others to learn! Started teaching undergrad courses in 1991...began tutoring in 1999 and received a tutoring award from the University of Pennsylvania. I like to make hard subjects clear and easy to handle!... Usually it's part "get to know you." But then I ask them what is bothering them the most, and we start there. If we have to back up to review things, no problem; I am there to help. I try to remind students I am not their teacher or parent, and I am not judging them at all.

...have worked in the biotech industry, lectured in Microbiology and am currently doing research on vaccine development. I enjoy one on one teaching, and just discussing science in general.

In my spare time, I build computers, read history and science fiction...

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 relax, with the hope that the student will as well. I believe that the student must be involved in their own learning. I do not do the work for the student. My goal is to give the student the tools to help themselves. When a student tells me "I don't get it," I use probing questions to get them to narrow it down to exactly what it is that they don't get. I encourage them to apply themselves. I also do plenty of examples, doing whatever I can to relate the work to the real world, and specifically, their real world. I try to gain a rapport with the student, then relate the course material to the student's life.

I assume responsibility that my student is learning and that my student is learning at higher and higher levels, in accordance with Bloom's Taxonomy. Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Evaluation, Synthesis, Analysis are higher levels of learning that give the student tools to apply lessons into maturity. I have been very successful in tutoring ACT, SAT, ISEE, and GRE.... The Socratic method, asking open-ended questions, is an excellent strategy to get a student to talk. When the tutor can speak less and encourage the tutee to speak more, the tutor can identify the student's level of understanding.

...several college students, as Calculus is my favorite subject. Since I love math in general, I tutor many subjects from Algebra II to SAT/GRE Test Prep.

...member of the #1 Nationally Ranked University of Texas Speech & Debate Team. I absolutely love meeting my students and assisting them with whatever subject mastery I can. It's truly beautiful to watch them grow from frustrated, uninterested, or sad to engaged, excited, and confident. The schools systems, unfortunately, do not have the resources to work with each individual student. It's for this reason I'm hopeful for tutoring programs like Varsity Tutors.
