A psychology degree gives Katelyn a sharper-than-average read on what's actually going on when a middle schooler shuts down mid-homework — whether it's a confidence issue, an unnoticed gap in pre-algebra foundations, or just the overwhelm of juggling six subjects for the first time. Her math background is especially deep, covering everything from elementary through calculus, so she can trace a seventh grader's fraction struggles all the way back to the root and rebuild from there. She also has experience working with gifted and special needs students, which means she adjusts her approach based on how each kid actually learns.

Studying Education & Child Studies and Theatre at Smith College means Jennifer spends her days thinking about how kids actually absorb information — and her theatre training gives her a storytelling instinct that makes even a dry grammar lesson or a tricky word problem feel less like a chore. She's worked with students across a wide range of ability levels, so she's quick to spot whether a middle schooler needs to slow down and fill a foundational gap or push ahead with more challenging material. Rated 4.9 by families.

I'm starting my junior year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in biology with a concentration in health and human disease, global health, and a minor in French. I love reading, traveling, learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, science, and English and I love tutoring in each subject equally. Eventually, I see myself going to medical school and researching topics related to viral diseases which I've been interested in since a very young age. I'm very passionate about the subjects I teach and hope to pass my passion on to the individuals I tutor!
I am able to tutor on a variety of subjects, but I'm especially passionate about test prep! I'm currently traveling around Europe and South America, before I start law school at the University of Texas this fall.
I am a sophomore, English and Computer Science double major at Carleton College who is ecstatic about teaching and spreading my love of learning. I am also greatly interested in sociology and gender studies, and have yet to decide if I will minor in one of those fields, too. I love helping students discover a passion for reading and expressing themselves through writing. My favorite areas to tutor are those having to do with English; I enjoy everything from AP Literature to essay writing for class. When I'm not at school or tutoring, I spend my time reading, playing piano and guitar, and rock climbing.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.
I am third year medical resident in Family Medicine and was born and raised in a family of teachers and educators. I really enjoy learning and teaching and the process of deconstructing things down to their most digestible parts. I am a big advocate of making things fun and trying to bring the material to life. I have experience tutoring all ages, and in a wide range of disciplines. I look forward to helping you or you child meet your goals in whatever way I can!
I'm a recent graduate from Lewis and Clark College. I completed my BA in Anthropology with a Linguistics focus, and I hope to continue these interests into a Masters in a couple years. I grew up in Austin, TX swimming and hiking every chance I got, and I've since moved to San Marcos, TX. I love tutoring students, and seeing the progress we can make together. Learning is all about finding the right way to piece together concepts and practice to work with your unique brain. Feel free to ask me any questions!
I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University of Texas at Austin as a Doctoral Candidate, where I also earned my M.A. in Philosophy. At the University of Southern California, I earned my B.A. with Departmental Honors along with the Discovery Scholar’s award for excellence in independent research. I have been tutoring and teaching for eleven years, with a primary emphasis on developing my students’ writing and critical thinking skills.
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in UT Austin's American Studies department. I received my B.S. in Media, Culture and Communication from NYU and my M.A. in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon. As a lifelong student, I love to help others enjoy the process of learning and to see their 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 subject areas of American history and literature. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
I'm a born and raised Austinite and recently earned my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Texas A&M University in May 2015. I mostly tutor high school/college math and science courses, as well as SAT/ACT and MCAT prep. My favorite classes to help students with are biology, physics, biochemistry and statistics! I took 14 AP classes in high school, and retook many of the math and sciences class in college. I think this helps with tutoring because I learned the material multiple times and from many great teachers, so if a student doesn't understand a concept at first, I can hopefully explain it in another way that I've learned.
I am currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin and graduated from high school in 2022 earning a 4.0 GPA along with a 1530 SAT (800 Math, 730 Reading) and a 34 ACT (30 Math, 34 Science, 35 English, 35 Reading). Achieving these results taught me that strong outcomes come from effective habits, not shortcuts, and I spent years refining study techniques such as active recall and spaced repetition that helped me learn more efficiently and with less stress. These strategies continue to support me in my college coursework and shape how I approach teaching. I began tutoring during high school and quickly discovered how meaningful it was to help other students gain confidence in subjects they once found intimidating. I have experience working one-on-one with middle school and high school students in both volunteer and informal tutoring settings, focusing on math, English, and standardized test preparation. My tutoring style centers on patience and clarity, breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps and reinforcing understanding through practice. I place a strong emphasis on helping students understand how to study effectively, rather than relying on memorization alone. I am comfortable tutoring math and English at all levels, as well as SAT Math and Reading and ACT Math and Reading. Having recently navigated rigorous coursework and competitive testing myself, I understand the pressures students face and strive to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment. My goal is not only to help students improve their grades or scores, but also to equip them with study skills and confidence that will benefit them well beyond our tutoring sessions.
I am a sophomore at The University of Texas at Austin (aka the greatest university on the planet...HOOK'EM!) and am studying Biology with a side of philosophy and business! I am hoping to enter medical school or optometry school to further my dreams of working in medicine! I am looking forward to tutoring students in biology, reading, and writing and getting y'all ready for college!
I am an MIT alum and current graduate student at UT Austin. My degrees are in architecture, with undergraduate minors 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 for several college Physics courses.
I'm a biomedical engineering student and undergraduate researcher at Texas A&M University working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a passion for learning. In high school, I challenged myself by taking as many AP exams as possible. Doing so not only shaped my love of education but also challenged me to become a self-taught learner. Using what I learned from AP exam preparation allowed me to become a National Merit Finalist, two-time National AP Scholar, and valedictorian of my graduating class of over 600 students. While my favorite subjects to tutor are high school-level and engineering calculus, I am happy to tutor in a range of subjects, including all-around ACT preparation, high school and college math, chemistry, physics, and world history. By tutoring, I hope to share my passion for learning while also providing students with the tools they need to succeed.
I am currently a third-year student majoring in Biology and a part of the Health Science Scholars Honors program at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience tutoring high school and middle school students for the past couple of years in a variety of subjects and my favorite ones include sciences such as biology and chemistry, as well as ACT/SAT/PSAT test prep. I firmly believe in the value of good education and hope to inspire that same positivity in others.
I am a University of Texas student pursuing a BSA in Mathematics, I am passionate about being a leader and a mentor, I love working with people! I was an orientation advisor for two summers, where I gave students support and advice when it came to class preparation and registration. This allowed me to pass my knowledge of mathematics classes and the college class experience overall to new students. I also love mathematics because it allows me to do work using a problem-solving approach and develop a great sense of logic. I am really interested in applied mathematics, using math for real-world situations! Subjects I feel very strongly about are discrete mathematics, algebra, linear algebra. My tutoring philosophy is to help students help themselves, as this will boost their motivation and confidence, and to be a friend to them as well as a mentor.
I am from the Boulder, Colorado area, and graduated from the University of Colorado, where I studied English and business, while also completing a four-year study on ethical leadership. Additionally, I pursued Honors distinction through a study of James Joyce and interned with now U.S. Senator Mark Udall during his tenure in the House of Representatives. I worked with Crocs Footwear at their global headquarters as an account manager for five years in account management, before relocating to Austin, Texas, in 2011, when I began pursuing a career in education. I am currently certified as a teacher in Texas in six different subjects, including Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Business, and Special Education. I enjoy all of these subjects, but am particularly passionate about language arts. My philosophy of education centers around the learner in all aspects, teaching to the whole student and embracing what makes that student unique.
I'm Atharva and I attend The University of Texas at Austin! I am currently majoring in computational engineering, which is essentially a mix of math, computer science, and aerospace engineering. I have worked as a math tutor for around 3 years, and I have seen students improve their scores significantly in their classes and standardized tests. I especially enjoy tutoring math since I strongly believe it can be very interesting if taught in an engaging way rather than straight out of a dull textbook. I believe I have this ability to make my tutoring sessions more interactive and productive, and I love being able to help students understand the intuition behind the concepts they learn in class instead of making them simply memorize them.
I am very passionate about education and I know in depth about how people learn and the different learning theories. I focus more on my student's learning than me teaching. I am very flexible, open minded, and patient. Let me know how I can help you.
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.
I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Chemical Engineering on a Pre-Medicine track while minoring in Business in the Cockrell School of Engineering. For the past 8 years, I have tutored students in all levels of math ranging from toddlers to high school students studying AP Calculus. I have worked for other tutoring agencies and also tutored through my local school district itself as well. My favorite subject since I was little has always been math! Aside from math, I also teach other subjects such as english and Spanish and others. I have worked with all kinds of students, including those with special needs or no prior knowledge in the subject. In my free time I enjoy reading, running, dancing, and spending time with my friends and family.
I am a second-year graduate student in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work program at the University of Texas at Austin pursing a Masters in Social Work. I also attended UT-Austin for my undergraduate years, where I majored in psychology, minored in sociology, and received a creative writing certificate. I have worked at the University Writing Center at UT for the past year, where I tutor undergraduates in writing skills. I review papers in all subjects and of all types, including research papers, lab reports, persuasive essays, creative writing, and post-undergraduate school applications. I also worked with Communities in Schools at a Title I elementary school on writing, grammar, reading, and comprehension. Writing and English are my favorite subjects to tutor because I love to see the satisfaction on a student's face when they can finally take all of the puzzle pieces of ideas floating around in their head and put them in a tangible form. Getting those thoughts on paper proves to a student that their words are worth being read and heard. My teaching philosophy is taking a collaborative, non-directive, and non-evaluative approach in helping my students cultivate writing skills and confidence that they will have for future writing endeavors. Outside of academia, I love movies, theater, playwriting, basketball, and anything outside!
I am a recent college graduate who loves teaching and helping students learn. I have experience teaching English in Argentina, as well as experience as a teaching assistant for various subjects at the Summer Institute for the Gifted.
I am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington! I earned a B.S. in Physics with honors as well as a minor in mathematics. I worked in a theoretical physics lab modeling and simulating new materials to be used in solar energy applications, as well as tutored physics independently. While in college, I was part of the UTeach program, a nationwide initiative to train science and math students to teach. In this program I developed a passion for working with students both in and out of the classroom. I strongly believe in inquiry-based instruction, which consists of leading students to develop solutions on their own while analyzing their thought process. This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them. I have found that this method is much more effective than traditional styles because when the student verbalizes their thought process and corrects their own misconceptions, it is something they will remember when it comes time for an exam.
I'm a UH senior right now (majoring in political science), and I'm planning to go to law school next fall. I enjoy reading, puzzles, and musicals about Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.
I'm a nurse from Austin, TX, and a proud Aggie! I can't wait to meet you and help with your studies!
I'm a graduate of Shiraz University, and I grew up in Shiraz, Iran. I came to the USA in 2009 and I am trying to transfer to dental school. While I tutor a variety of subjects, math is easily my favorite. I love basic math, algebra, calculus and everything in between, and it shows in my work. My mom was a teacher, and she helped me to pick up my first problem solving position in high school. Since then, I've worked with students from ninth grade to adults returning to the classroom, students struggling to pass to students wanting to attend (or get into!) a special high school or college. I am a math and science tutor at Austin Community College as well as a DAT (Dental Admission Test) instructor for Kaplan Test Preparation. Most students come to me for math, but I've also worked with standardized test preparation, chemistry, biology, physics, statistics, and time management. Math and science classes are really just elaborate puzzles to solve, and most of my students learn to enjoy the process of figuring out what to do once I help them develop the confidence and skill set they need to be successful. Not everyone loves science courses, especially math but I do, and it's contagious. In my free time, I like to explore Austin with my friends: from coffee shops to parks to museums. This is a really fun city! I also enjoy listening to all kinds of music, swimming and reading a good book.
I am a dual degree graduate with a bachelor's in both zoology (from liberal arts school - Ohio Wesleyan University) and biomedical engineering (from Washington University in St. Louis). I am working towards a Masters in Electrical Engineering and expect to receive it this August 2021. This dual degree program has the purpose of producing well rounded students - rather than students jumping straight into engineering, dual degree students spend 3 years at a liberal arts school learning how to write, analyze and express their artistic side. I believe it worked! I have been a TA for multiple professors in math courses throughout college; in addition, fellow classmates often came to me for help with homework assignments. On top of that, I have experience Tutoring friends and siblings in subjects such as algebra geometry, and all levels of calculus. One of my favorite subject to teach is Algebra, as there is a lot to say about its simplicity but how powerful it can be in application, I find that beautiful. I am a firm believer of truly understanding the essence of mathematics - it is more than just step by step answers and solutions. If one has a good mentor than they should be able to see how fun math can be! In my spare time, I love playing League of Legends, playing football, and working out.
I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing, and more!
I am currently a Senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in the Biomedical Engineering program at The University of Texas at Austin. I am also a pre-medicine student and plan to attend Medical School after graduation. I have had the opportunity to work at Kumon Learning Center as the Lead Assistant. During this time, I tutored all levels of math but specifically focused on advanced math i.e. Calculus. Additionally, I have served as a private tutor in the past as well. I tutor a broad range of subjects, however, I am most passionate about math and science. Being a student in STEM and a STEM mentor I am hope to motivate and inspire students to show that these subjects are nothing to be afraid of and are something they are capable of doing. My teaching philosophy stresses fundamentals to build on a solid base and be able to apply your knowledge and skills and develop critical thinking skills. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching sports such as Basketball and Football as well reading and listening to music.
I am passionate about knowledge - both acquiring it and imparting it. I have served extensively as a teacher and tutor in the classroom, in one-on-one or small group settings, and even abroad. I went to a private liberal 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, primarily working in English, Greek and Latin, but also with reading fluency in four additional languages. I have traveled extensively in Europe, as an archaeologist and for my own curiosity, and I am enthusiastic about the influence of culture of learning, expression, and history. I have always had a knack for mathematics and was originally on track to be a chemist, both of which have served me well in my pursuits as an archaeologist and my work on various National Science Foundation grants. I have taught in educational settings up to and including the undergraduate level, and I look forward to finding just the right approach with each individual student because one size does not always fit all.
I am a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics. My academic interests while at Barnard were focused on microeconomics and statistical research. I am a believer that a strong education can propel you to achieve your goals. I think that anyone can learn math and logical thinking with a little help. I have experience tutoring high school students in Algebra I and was always helping my fellow classmates with their economics problem sets in college. While working professionally, my job demanded strong technical skills in data programming. Each year, I taught my coworkers the necessary programming skills both through classroom setting lectures and through one-on-one tutoring. In my free time I love going to spin class, learning how to cook, and watching MSNBC!
I am a graduate of Arizona State University in Tempe where I studied film production and business. Since graduating in 2010, I have lived in Los Angeles where I work in film production. I also love writing and making music. I spend my free time DJing and playing guitar. Originally from the Chicago area, I am a huge Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and Cubs fan.
I'm Jay! I'm currently going to college at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in fine arts and I am also in the pre-medical program. Even though I'm not done with college, I have already published papers in the field of epigenetics since my freshmen year of college. Even though I consider myself to have an expertise in languages, I decided to teach areas in the field of natural sciences because those are the subjects that I am most passionate about.
I am good at teaching GMAT Quantitative and have helped a number of students earn higher scores on this platform. I have also taught primary school children in India before as part of an NGO and helped my near and dear ones succeed in school and college with my guidance.
I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S.A in Computer Science, a B.A. in African and African Diaspora Studies, and a minor in Information Studies (Human Computer Interaction concentration). I currently work as a software engineer. I am passionate about education and helping people learn. I had several wonderful tutors on the Varsity Tutors platform, and I am excited to pay it forward and help other students realize their academic potential.
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology as my field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career. While studying at UT Austin, I had the opportunity to tutor and work with children as part of a summer program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Recently, I have been working for Berkeley2 Academy as a tutor and preparatory class instructor for subjects ranging from SAT and ACT Verbal skills to US AP History.
I am a graduate of University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in English. Most of my experience in teaching has been with 826 Michigan, a non-profit organization focused on teaching children creative reading and writing. My favorite subject to teach is English literature and writing. I believe that critical reading and writing skills are extremely important in this age of information, and that students should have access to the help they need to better navigate those skills. In my free time, I enjoy reading speculative fiction, creative writing, and cooking new recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Middle school is a transition year where students juggle multiple teachers, increased homework expectations, and growing social pressures. Many Austin students struggle with time management, organization across different classes, and adapting to a faster-paced curriculum than elementary school. Personalized tutoring helps students build these executive function skills while staying on top of core subjects like math, English, science, and social studies.
In Austin's middle schools with an average student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1, teachers often can't address each student's individual learning pace or gaps. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses entirely on your student's strengths and weaknesses, allowing tutors to adjust explanations, slow down on difficult concepts, and accelerate through material your student already understands. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress than waiting for classroom-based support.
The first session is an assessment and relationship-building meeting. A tutor will ask about your student's current performance, learning style, specific challenges, and goals—whether that's improving a grade, preparing for state assessments, or building confidence. They'll also explain their teaching approach and work with your student on an initial concept to establish rapport and identify the best starting point for ongoing sessions.
Yes. Tutors working with students in Austin are familiar with the curriculum standards used across Austin's 24 school districts, including Austin ISD's scope and sequence for middle grades. Whether your student needs help with TEKS-aligned content, state assessment preparation, or specific unit concepts, tutors can connect tutoring directly to what's being taught in the classroom.
Math and English language arts are the most requested subjects, as these are foundational for all future learning and often where gaps become visible in middle school. Science and social studies support is also common, especially as students transition to more abstract thinking and independent research. Tutors also help with study skills, test preparation, and subject-specific writing across all disciplines.
Tutors typically provide progress updates after each session, noting concepts covered, areas of strength, and next steps. You'll see measurable improvements through better homework completion, improved quiz and test scores, increased confidence, and stronger understanding of key concepts. Many parents notice changes within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, though the timeline depends on your student's starting point and frequency of sessions.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who match your student's needs, schedule, and learning style. You'll share information about your student's grade level, subjects, current challenges, and availability. Then you'll be matched with an experienced tutor, and you can meet for an initial session to see if it's a good fit before committing to ongoing tutoring.
This depends on your student's needs and goals. Students working to improve a specific grade or prepare for state assessments often benefit from weekly or twice-weekly sessions, while those building foundational skills or maintaining strong performance may do well with bi-weekly sessions. A tutor can recommend a schedule during your first conversation and adjust it as your student progresses.
