Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Cedar Park, TX

I am a Masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate from Campbell University, NC and have over 10 years of experience in tutoring Mathematics to middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate students.

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.

...Somewhere along the way I realized that the only thing I enjoy more than that is helping other people learn. When tutoring, I like to take the approach of cutting through the details to hit 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...

...in China. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Language Arts Writing, and Critical Thinking. In my experience in helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I see a lot of progress in all subjects when I weave in games with skills practice. I am a big proponent of individualized lesson plans that focus on the child's strengths, interests, and areas that need improvement. In my spare time, I...

...Intercultura. There, I discovered the joy of organic learning. I eventually went on to study in more traditional schooling environments, including majoring in Economics at Washington University in St. Louis. However, I never forgot Intercultura 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...

...mathematics. I am also 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...

...the subject interested me. However, I have always done very, very well on standardized tests, probably because I read so much. I was a National Merit finalist and my LSAT score was in the 99th percentile. In today's system, that is about a 174. I attended law school at the University of Houston, graduated, passed the Texas bar with a decent score of 83, and practiced law for a long time. I quit practicing law...

...and innate intellectual curiosity. I do this by focusing on what my students know before turning to what they do not know. I take the time to understand and mentor my student’s particular gifts, using their individual strengths to conquer their individual academic challenges and become confident, creative, lifetime learners. By encouraging questions and providing hands-on interactive lessons which consist of substantial modeling (“see one”), guided practice (“do one”), and checking for understanding (“teach one”),...

...my students with a guided tour of philosophical thought that is capable of informing the methodology by which reason itself is operative. As a tutor, it is in my interest to provide the same sort of structural guidance, albeit for a different set of problems. Whether we study for a standardized test or a particular subject, the instruction I provide is tailored to each individual student and revolves around a conceptual framework which can be...

...background is in American and Texas government and political philosophy. As a college professor, I know how to help students improve their essay and academic writing, test taking strategies, and study habits. Let me help you learn what you need to know to become a better student. I can help you improve your subject matter knowledge in many of your introductory college or high school classes as well as test prep for SAT and ACT....
