...and a minor in Global Health. I was born in Louisiana and moved to Austin, TX in 2000. I enjoy working out, running, reading, movies, music, and concerts. My tutoring style focuses on identifying a student's strengths and weaknesses and explaining problems that cater to student's learning style. I strive to create a fun, encouraging and collaborative environment so that students feel comfortable tackling material, asking questions, and identifying goals and challenges. I am excited...

...adults. I tutor a wide variety of subjects including math, Spanish, ESL, and test prep. I really enjoy tutoring geometry and algebra or SAT prep. My tutoring strengths include finding multiple ways to explain things for my students and giving real value to the learning process so that information can be retained. Outside of the academic world, I love to listen to and make music. I play volleyball, rugby, and soccer in my free time.

...but to help them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of the classwork itself creates a student driven by curiosity and interest instead of just wanting to pass the class. In my free time, I work at the Osteological Research and Processing Laboratory at the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State University. I also enjoy reading,...

...and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise, sports, and playing...

...in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups of students. Although, they were considered to be at the same level that did not necessarily mean that my lesson plan would work for everyone in that group. I also tutored these same students and others after school and that was often where I got to know them as students the best. I just think it is really important to recognize that every student...

...also pursuing pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. 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...

...Through enthusiasm and a genuine love for math and the sciences, I hope to influence my students to adopt this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years. I have been tutoring for years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have gained and the friendships I have made with other students. My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my...

...can also expect me to reply promptly to any questions they may have about the subjects we cover. But communication is also a two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so that I can best tailor classes to their needs. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to...

...love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies and schoolwork, which I believe can ultimately...

...reading comprehension, public speaking, interpersonal and gender communication, as well as both academic and business and professional writing. My pedagogy is rooted in the active learning model where students are encouraged to engage the material through practical activities, as well as through discussion. It's important to me that my students feel trusted and trusting, and that all of our work takes place in a supportive manner that builds self esteem, while also challenging the students...

...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...

...in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my...

...Chemistry. With this degree, I hope to get into medical school and become a doctor. I began tutoring in high school, teaching various subjects from English to Precalculus. In college, I have found I most enjoy tutoring students for the ACT and general chemistry courses. This is due to my extensive knowledge of the subjects as well as my enthusiasm for them. I believe that every student has the capability to understand a subject as...

...Bachelor of Science in Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and have worked in Austin as a civil engineer. I also hold a Master of Music from Indiana University and taught private music lessons for several years before turning to engineering. The upshot to all of this is that I have a lot of experience with one-on-one teaching and applied mathematics. If I am your tutor, you will never have to wonder why...

...take a look at my interest and hobbies, you can see that my curious drive is not limited to my academics - far from it! I am fascinated with the idea of being a Renaissance Man - a polymath basically - so I am always pushing myself to learn new things and try adventurous experiences. This might mean spending hours learning how to build a portable solar-powered generator or going hitchhiking in central Europe!... Socratic. I...

...Undergraduate Fellow. For my senior thesis, I am researching post-Cold War security and foreign relations with Russia and East Europe. I tutor a range of subjects within liberal arts, but I specialize in Latin tutoring, since I have studied the language outside of my normal areas of study for four years. As a student who was home-schooled for the entirety of my grade school education, I value working closely with students at a pace that...

...ground is strongest in this subject, but also because the way to tutor these concepts is simply the most fun. Most students struggle with understanding the connections between the necessary math and the physical consequences. The best way to reinforce the math and the science together is to get up and do it. Scientists, of course, spend a lot of time reading and writing; but the true understanding of a topic comes when you can...

...am a Physics major and Philosophy of Law minor at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience tutoring concepts, strategies, and preparation in the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, as well as the general subjects listed on my profile. I believe in creating an interesting and engaging environment focused on mastering the fundamentals effectively, personalized in a way that makes the most sense to the student, in order to conquer more complex concepts.

...school I have enjoyed helping my classmates and fraternity brothers, and I love the feeling of seeing someone who I helped succeed. I am hoping to help with a wide variety of Math and Physics classes, as they are the subjects I put the most time into and enjoy the most. Outside of school, I am a member of the Club Soccer team at UT, which is the highest level of soccer the University offers...
