Award-Winning Math Tutors in Garland, TX

Hi, I'm Kenzie! I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at UT Dallas and I've been tutoring online for 4 years now. My favorite subjects to teach are math and science, but reading and writing come in a close second. ... I introduce myself and try to get a feel for what the student is struggling with in particular. I then address those questions or problems by starting at the foundations and trying to help my student get...

...of subjects throughout my academic career, and I strive to instill a similar love in those with whom I interact. I enjoy both the puzzle aspects of STEM subjects and the ability the literary arts have to make me believe I am watching events unfold in another time and place. When I'm not learning, I enjoy working with my hands. I've built a variety of furniture, I care for a 2500 square foot garden, and...

...is one of the most fulfilling things about tutoring: finding the learning methods innate in each student and helping shape those instincts into tools for learning any material. Outside of academics I enjoy writing, recording, and playing music in a band, acting on film, tv, and stage, sketch writing and improv, teaching and playing guitar (along with a few other instruments), listening to NPR podcasts and audiobooks on road trips, traveling, martial arts, and a...

...specialty in particular like my peers did. This is why I left medical school in 2018 to pursue a M.S. in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience at UT Dallas. Since then, I have taught with Kaplan Test Prep as an MCAT Instructor for In-Person, Kaplan Partner Solutions Institutional Partnerships, and Live Online delivery modes. At Kaplan, my teaching style has matured incorporating elements of growth mindset and learning science with spaced repetition of relevant concepts all...

...well. I am most passionate about teaching because I love seeing people learn, grow, and become problem solvers and leaders of the future. It's hugely rewarding for me whenever someone changes their mind about a subject, displays interest in continuing to study something related to what we've worked on together, or simply becomes proud of their academic improvement and success. My approach to teaching anything involves first engaging with the student, then making sure they...

...know where and how to find them. I believe that tutoring is most effective when a student comes to acknowledge and utilize the strategies that are best suited for their learning style, which they can then take with them into other subjects and in their future academic endeavors. Outside of the academic arena, I love to read, watch movies, spend too much money on craft supplies at Michael's, and volunteer with kids.... My teaching philosophy is...

...I majorly love the English language. I also spent a whole semester in a workshop on the personal essay, so I would take particular delight in working with you on a college essay, if that's why you are here. So if you are a student in need of a second set of hands to bail you out of a sinking rhetorical ship - Or perhaps a parent of a college-essay-less daughter, who is dangling over...

...and especially help others do their best. I am always open to help someone in need of help. I have helped friends and family increase their performance in math ever since I was in the 8th grade. I feel that any student can achieve anything if they are equipped with the correct tools and skills. I work well with others, and I can connect with almost anybody. I am a natural leader. I'm a great...

...Since 2012, I have been tutoring students in Garland ISD from seventh graders to seniors in the AVID program, where we use the Socratic Method to tutor. I normally tutor math and science subjects but my favorite subject to tutor is geometry. To me, geometry is exciting and so much fun which I hope to transfer that same excitement to my all students about math. Outside of tutoring students, I am always on the volleyball...
