Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors in Austin, TX

...this two-year project, I was named a 2006 Distinguished Finalist for the Prudential Spirit of Community Award. I attended an early college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where 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...

...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 is an individual, so they should get a unique experience. The tutor and the student should work together to figure out what is best. I tutor all levels of English: reading, writing, and literature; this includes test...

...degree in Mechanical Engineering, I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that...

...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 past those roadblocks. As a tutor, I try really hard to help students connect the material they are studying inside the classroom to their passions outside the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is...

...UT, I did a creative thesis, which ultimately resulted in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and 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...

...once again! During my undergrad years at Sul Ross State University, I tutored math students taking anything from remedial math to Calculus III. While I enjoyed the vast array of math problems to solve, I got very comfortable with college Algebra. I also tutored the occasional History student struggling with their Western Civilizations class. Being that I'm an archeologist and a museum professional, I welcome the opportunity to tutor anyone taking an Archeology or Museum...

...and help study/teach other students. I often arranged study groups, note or course work exchanges, and one-on-one work with other students. For my electives and core curriculum, I preferred to take challenging classes such as college algebra, bio 1 and 2, general chemistry 1, and honors lectures on advanced psychology processes and pathology. As a capstone, I structured, proposed, and wrote an undergraduate thesis finding a positive relation between test anxiety and trauma-related psychopathology symptoms....

...University in the Spring semester of this year. I'm going to be a molecular biology major, but I also speak French fluently, love literature, and tutor for the STAAR tests.

I look forward to working with any and all students who want to learn and build their confidence in any...

...After graduating from college I taught conversational English in Paris, which nurtured my interest in helping English Language Learners. I love explaining the shades of meaning in words, strengthening students' reading comprehension, and building their writing skills. I believe patience and kindness are key to student success. As a graduate student in a field called Learning Technologies, I am constantly discovering which educational approaches best help students. I am a great tutor because I believe...

...have especially equipped me to teach writing, analytical thinking, logical analysis, and mathematics. I am also a part-time professor of philosophy. My academic interests range from medieval Scholasticism to contemporary issues in bioethics and law. I believe that tutoring is not only about the transfer of knowledge between the tutor and the student, but also a transfer of skills, which would help the student learn how to find the answer himself or herself and to...

I am a Psychology/Human Dimensions of Organizations Plan I Honors student at the University of Texas at Austin. While attending high school in Rye Brook, New York, I tutored middle and high school students in a variety of topics. I enjoy tutoring in all ELA subjects as well as psychology, Spanish, test prep, essay editing, and study strategies.

...the best skill set they can possibly attain. I derive satisfaction from mentoring young adults and love to see it when my students "get it."

I have experience in the California public school system as a long-term 10th grade English substitute teacher, and have taught middle school and high school level history in...

...biological sciences as my field is microbiology. I typically work with high school and college students but have some experience with younger students. For those that wish to improve and understand concepts better, I will gladly use creative problem solving to find a way to relate a concept in terms the student will grasp. I have completed research projects involving wildlife and antibiotic resistance and even giving concrete the properties of steel. I served as...

I believe that all students can learn to love the process of learning. As humans education never stops as long as we are breathing. Why shouldn't it be exciting and interesting? It is not reserved for a select few. Everyone should have the opportunity to believe in their best.

...is the opportunity for tremendous success. That's why it's important to me that every student grasps the bigger picture. Education has the opportunity to enrich your life unlike any other endeavor. If you're anything like me, you've experienced academic failure. But as a soon-to-be practicing attorney, I can assure you that failure is not fatal. If we keep putting one foot in front of the other, we will reach our goals.

...field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career.

...I enjoy working with a diverse clientele to foster discussions about writing and the fact that each session requires me to adapt to suit the needs of each individual.

Writing a thesis as a requirement for the English Department's Honors Program was a wonderful experience that allowed me to hone my...
