Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors serving Cedar Park, TX

...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 fun and engaging.

...formulas and equations, and with little in common with what we see and do everyday. I'm here to tell you that doesn't have to be the case! Almost everything can be broken down into small pieces and understood in a simple, intuitive way. Even mathematics, which doesn't always seem to translate to the real world, can be used to describe things such as how fast cars move, what profit a company can make from selling...

...Comparative Literature from the University of Virginia, and I'm thrilled to bring my knowledge of English, Spanish, History, Literature, and Writing to the Varsity Tutors platform. I have experience providing tutoring services to students from a variety of ages and backgrounds, and have even taught English while living abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I look forward to meeting you and helping you gain confidence and skills in whatever area you'd like help with.

...I have a strong base in all subjects, but I especially enjoy language tutoring, because I am multilingual. I love teaching Mathematics, Sciences, English, History, Writing...you name it. My philosophy is that the most effective teaching comes from knowing how my student learns, and meeting them where they are. I want to instill a love of learning, but that will not happen if I don't get to know my student. Outside teaching, I write fiction,...

I'm a pre-med student with a B.A. in English. I'm committed to helping students overcome obstacles to reach their academic potential. I believe that everyone can become a clear thinker and strong writer with the right coaching and practice. Outside of school I'm an avid cook (grilled kimcheese and spaghetti carbonara), reader (Biography of Leonardo da Vinci), musician (guitar), and soccer fan (West Ham United).

...foster discussions about writing and the fact that each session requires me to adapt to suit the needs of each individual. In May of 2014, I graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor of Arts in Classics and Interdisciplinary English and History. Writing a thesis as a requirement for the English Department's Honors Program was a wonderful experience that allowed me to hone my writing, editing and time management skills.

...that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what 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...

...and the freedom it allowed me to pursue my budding academic interests. I have tried to bring that same principle of student self-construction into my role as a tutor; whether I've been preparing collegians for the LSAT, or helping kindergarteners learn to read. I enjoy working with each student to find the best way for him/her to attack the subject material. I am able to tutor on a variety of subjects, but I'm especially passionate...

...my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later on, I tutored high school students in Pre-Calculus, Spanish, English, and essay writing. More recently, I have been tutoring young entrepreneurs in Portuguese. Currently, I tutor all levels of Spanish, English grammar and writing, and Reading. I love to travel and meet new people and...

I am an experienced instructor primarily in Physics. I am looking forward to helping you understand how our everyday experiences with the universe dovetail with the science of Physics.

...also received a Master's degree in Health Administration with minor in Science at the University of Phoenix. I love helping students achieve their maximum potential and fulfill their goals, encouraging them to excel in their abilities. I have worked with students for 15 years in all levels of teaching, from 4th-6th grade science and math, middle school math, and high school life skills along with providing tutoring. I have worked with students to prepare them...

...in shock trauma. I received my associate's degree in nursing at Southern Regional Technical College in Thomasville, Ga. I recently decided to future my education and currently in the MSN- family nurse practitioner program at the University of Texas at Arlington. Upon applying for nursing school I had a 4.0 GPA and maintained an A/B average throughout my nursing school career. I am very familiar with the NCLEX and have a passion for helping New...

...in Materials Science and Computer Science. I focus on building technology and I love applying physics, chemistry, and computer science to solve creative architectural design problems. Although I have studied architecture up to this point, I am currently pursuing a classroom teaching certificate and intend to teach high school STEM subjects professionally in the near future. I am passionate about helping students connect STEM concepts to real-world applications and have served as a Teaching Assistant...

...hard work pay off! I'm currently teaching a writing course at UT with the theme, "Americans Abroad." Last year, I taught discussion sections for a UT American literature course, and previously I worked as a teaching assistant for classes on introductory academic writing, U.S. history, and American culture. While I tutor a range of subjects, I especially love demystifying standardized tests and helping students improve their reading and writing skills. I also have expertise in...

...the big concepts, to make the topic more personal and come alive. In my experience, Professors will always prefer a student understand concepts and have an interesting thesis than be able to regurgitate details they can look up. And if it's necessary to learn those details, they can be learned far easier once the key concepts are understood. It's always easier to learn the lyrics to a song you like. That's how I approach tutoring....

...and the SAT/ACT). Outside of tutoring, my interests revolve around being involved in my community. For example, I have directed the Children's Wellness Foundation, a registered nonprofit dedicated to helping the families of children in the hospital with finances. I have also been involved in research surrounding addiction, learning and memory, and breast cancer, inspiring me to earn my EMT certification! Now, through Varsity Tutors, I am most looking forward to helping students by learning...

...well how it feels to navigate difficult subjects by yourself. I am passionate about helping you overcome your challenges and am a strong believer that anyone with a little bit of support can achieve their goals. With 2 years of tutoring experience, I have tutored K-6, High School students in Elementary math, algebra 1&2, trigonometry, geometry, and English. I also help undergrad students with college-level Chemistry. I can also help you study for the SAT,...

...arts school for my undergraduate degree, where I 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,...

...memorizing just to get by. My goal is to help you actually understand what you're reading or writing, so it makes sense and stays with you long after the assignment is done. If a text feels impossible or your thoughts feel stuck, I'm here to break it down, help you organize, and work through it together. I'm especially good with dense reading material like philosophy and writing-heavy subjects. No stress, just clarity. I am here...

I graduated from Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo with a Physics degree before moving back home to Austin. I love the material, and I'm dedicated to having my work be an intersection of my education and my commitment to helping others.
