Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Austin, TX

What's up! I am a recent graduate of WashU with a major in Biology with plans of applying to medical school. I am an expert in mathematics and the natural sciences, and love helping students discover these subjects. I am cool, down to earth, and funny, and enjoy making connections with students.

...with students. I worked 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...

...served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to unite my love of literature with my passion for social justice to become an inspirational and...

...lesson plans, my students 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....

...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 students in any way possible, and I strive to meet this goal in each and...

...Sciences. While at Washington University, I majored in an interdisciplinary program for philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school. I served as a residential advisor for two years and have experience tutoring and counseling students in that capacity. I believe taking the time to listen to and understand others is the best way to find out how to help them. I've always appreciated this in my teachers and mentors...

...Health Careers High School in San Antonio while I was a junior and senior as part of National Honor Society. My strong academic subject areas are math, particularly calculus, trigonometry, 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,"...

...mechanical engineering class my senior year. The above experiences have prepared me to successfully help students grasp math and science concepts at all levels, from high school freshman Algebra I through to advanced, upper division undergraduate engineering courses. Beyond working with students on STEM subjects, I also work with students in standardized test prep (ACT, SAT, AP Exams, GRE, GMAT, etc.). I have a strong record in standardize tests. Most recently (November of 2015), I took...

...Anthropology and Human Biology 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...

...in various subjects since high school, though the bulk of my ability and expertise lies in essay, paper, and speech writing/editing, non-calculus based statistical analysis, basic algebra, and in test prep skills. My ultimate desire is not only to help students understand subjects that they may be struggling with, 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...

...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 knows and what his or her strengths are, and move forward from there.... Music lessons always...

...became a way for me to solidify my understanding of topics. I have found that I enjoy explaining things to others as much as I love learning about the material in the first place. I also discovered that the best way to explain topics is to break the topic down into its base components and to give connections and similarities to other topics. Building a strong foundation is essential to learning more sophisticated, challenging topics....

...discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a failure. Working with my own tutors and teachers helped me realize that I am capable of overcoming difficulties through perseverance, and that's a skill that I want to pass on to the students I tutor. Everyone makes mistakes and has struggles, but the important thing is that you can move...

...Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin College, and a BA in Liberal Arts from St. John's College of Annapolis. I have 3 years of experience tutoring writing and 2 years of experience teaching English and writing in the college classroom. My favorite subject to tutor is Writing, but I also enjoy doing test prep -- tests can be a fun challenge for the student, and I love helping students to see it that way! I...

...I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships with my students. I am currently accepting students in all math subjects through the high school level, standardized test preparation (SAT, GRE, SSAT, PSAT), computer science, writing, study skills and organizational skills. I recently graduated from Vassar College in New York where I majored in computer science with minors in math...

I'm a currently pursuing a Computer Science degree at Texas A&M. Outside of academics, I have a great deal of passion for sports. I played tennis in high school, and am obsessed with watching football, basketball, and others. My favorite teams happen to be the Steelers, 76ers, and D-Backs. I'm eager to tutor those in need of tutoring!

...school, and I truly love it. Both of my parents are math teachers, so I think it runs in the family. I've have taken every kind of math you can think of (and a lot of maths you've never heard of). I've continued to tutor because of the amazing students I work with, and to see their passion for math grow is inspiring. Not a lot of students out there care for math, but I'm...

...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,...

I'm an entering freshman at the University of Texas at Austin to study Computer Science. I''m here to help students grow and prepare for standardized tests like the ACT, AP exams and help out with STEM in general.

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.
