Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep 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 BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. 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...

...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, I design engaging and entertaining lessons, exercises, and even...

...Since graduation, I have served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and 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...

...the student wants 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,...

...a part-time professor of philosophy. My academic interests range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to solve whatever academic problems come his or her way. Equally, important is demonstrating the real-world application...

...another way that I've learned. I like working with students that are self motivated and want to have a tutor, no matter their current skill level in a class. Having a great teacher or tutor won't help if the student does not want to learn and put in the work. However, I truly believe any student can not just succeed, but excel, if they work hard and have the right support system. Aside from tutoring,...

...science from Southwestern University. After graduation, I studied Mandarin Chinese for a year in Taiwan and then went backpacking through China. I can help you learn basic Mandarin Chinese (1 and 2), walk you through your political science studies, or bang out a killer essay. My two biggest priorities as a tutor are to teach you the *practical* skills you need to master your subject, and to give you a learning experience that is both...

I help enable learning for both academic and personal achievement.

...I am most passionate about Literature, Writing, and ESL. I love helping students gain the confidence and skills to excel on the Critical Reading and Writing portions of standardized tests. My teaching approach is individualized, positive, warm, respectful, and fun. I encourage students to not be afraid to take intellectual risks or make mistakes, as that's when much learning happens! In addition to tutoring, I work as a researcher at the University of Chicago, with...

I am an experienced educator with 20 years of instruction and curriculum development experience in High School English Language Arts, Government, and Economics. I am a PMP-certified Project Manager, working on a diverse field of projects from creative to IT. I enjoy helping others learn and presenting content in ways that personalize the learning process.

...at Austin in Mechanical Engineering. My research is based in additive manufacturing (3D Printing), and I plan to return to the private sector after graduation and focus in this area. Also, throughout my undergraduate studies I was a manufacturing engineer for NuVasive, where I worked on developing machining processes for spinal correction implants. This is extremely rewarding as these parts help improve peoples lives by eliminating back pain! I also tutored at Wright State University...

My philosophy is to be patient and help the student become an independent learner (to tutor myself out of a job!). I especially enjoy helping students develop self-confidence through working through as much of the material as they can on their own, providing hints when they need them.

...with a BS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, I have an in-depth knowledge and love for sciences. I also recently took the DAT, the dental admissions test, which focuses on math, reading, biology, and chemistry, which continued to keep my brain focused in the sciences after graduation. Although my love for learning and sciences is strong does not mean these subjects come easily to me. I work and study extremely hard to meet my goals...

...a session with the tools they need to tackle an obstacle that previously felt insurmountable, so I take a very hands-on approach to these subjects by actively guiding students through prompts, GRE strategies, and research outlines. I want the student to walk away from each session with a collaboratively created plan of action that will help quell their anxiety and guide their efforts going forward. I take a similar approach to life in my spare...

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.

...person who has had many achievements throughout his highschool career. He has scored in the top 1% of all students on the SAT and ACT, with a 1550/1600 and a 35/36 respectively. Anut has extensive experience working with and teaching kids in need of aid with difficult subjects as he worked for a non-profit organization committed to the education of our younger generation. Apart from his academics and extracurriculars, Anut loves to engage himself with...

...many of whom had not passed science in 8th grade – passed their STAAR Biology EOC exam at one of the highest rates in the entire school district. I attribute this outcome not only to my engaging teaching style, but also my patience and willingness to work alongside students until they truly reach mastery of every concept. I also persuaded my principal to adopt the SAT/ACT preparation elective that I taught to sophomores and juniors,...

...for about five years in one-onone and small group settings. I enjoy tutoring GRE quantitative as well. My tutoring strategy is to show a path to the students so that they can think through the problems and solve them by building confidence in themselves. I believe that the role of tutor is to guide, to motivate, to develop curiosity and to help students to understand concepts with a goal of watching them succeed. 'In learning...

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...

Learning is one of my biggest values in life and it is important to me that everyone has the opportunity to appreciate and value learning as well.
