Award-Winning Science Tutors in Pflugerville, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a degree in English as well.In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

...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...

...student's background. Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers. I believe that there is no such thing as a dumb question and I address each question as many times as necessary . I also include a lot of examples and encourage the students to come up with their own example questions when I tutor.... My teaching philosophy is developing the concept from the ground up. I am very reluctant about making assumptions about the student's background because that discourages the student's participation (I have realized this from my first-hand experience as a student). I start from the very basic of principles (axioms) and tend to show the whole derivation of things if the student prefers or asks me to show it. There is no such thing as a stupid question. I welcome every question equally and address them as many times and in as many different ways as it takes to make the student understand it. I am a very visual person. Therefore, I draw a lot of pictures and use a lot of physical examples to show the application of concepts. Furthermore, I like the study sessions to be as interactive as possible. Therefore, I ask a lot of questions to the students to make sure that they are understanding things as we move along. I also ask the students to come up with their own questions so that we can go through them together because that breaks the mindset of limiting oneself to just the problems in the book. This, I believe, also helps to foster creativity and problem solving.

...I worked with struggling students one-on-one. I then transferred to Texas A&M University, where I earned a B.S. in Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin. While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which renewed my...

I just finished my freshman year at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I'm currently getting my degree in mathematics and economics with a minor in philosophy. I love learning and helping others learn! I have experience tutoring high school and elementary school students in math, Chinese, and English. My tutoring strengths are in math, but I can tutor in a wide range of subjects.

...my peers as part of the requirement for National Honor Society and Mu Alpha Theta (math honor society). I enjoy tutoring ACT and SAT test prep, calculus, physics, and computer science because I have previous experience tutoring these subjects. I want to make sure that students I'm tutoring have a strong foundation in the subjects they are learning because a thorough understanding requires knowledge of the basics. Outside of school, my passions include playing soccer,...

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!... The answer is out there. I really do think that, no matter what the problem is, a solution can be found if we all work hard enough!... Discuss what subjects or concepts the student is struggling with, and what study methods just haven't worked for them in the past. That way, we can tackle the problem from a new angle and with a fresh approach!

...science labs as well as freelance tutoring. I began tutoring because I wanted to help students find success and enjoyment in conventionally challenging courses like math, science, and writing. I tutor college-level chemistry through Organic II, college-level physics through Electricity & Magnetism, and any and all math classes from middle-school math through college-level calculus. In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and hanging with...

...University. I have several years of experience working with students from pre-K to high school in the areas of Reading, Writing and Language Arts, as well as Math and ACT/SAT preparation. I have worked with students of varying abilities, including those with learning difficulties and gifted students. I grew up in Chicago, but was born in Ukraine, so I speak Russian fluently. I also speak Spanish--I learned it in school and still use it to...

...doesn't look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what 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...
