Award-Winning Summer Tutors in Cedar Park, TX

...Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is relevant to their own lives. My personal interests include theatre (especially Shakespeare), reading and writing, arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor activities with my dog. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, writing, and SAT prep, and my favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the "Aha!" moment when a student finally understands something that didn't make sense to them...

...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 by...

...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 this day with my husband's family. Outside of work, I am married with a 3-year-old son. I am an avid reader,...

...II. While at 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...

...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 more!

...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 interest both in teaching and in working with individuals with special needs. I am excited to work with all students, particularly...

...group study sessions. I also taught elementary aged children the importance of nutrition and an active lifestyle as an after school instructor in AISD. I worked with them on their homework as part of the program as well. In addition to previous tutoring jobs, I also have experience in having actually taken several AP tests, SAT, PSAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT, so I am available to help you or your child tackle their next big...

I'm committed to serving students in order to support them in their success by helping them explore and learn in ways that are more engaging. ... I meet the student where they are at to get an understanding of why they are having difficulties in the subject matter.... I get to know the student by asking lots of questions and listening very carefully.... I give the student tools and resources to discover on their own. I...

...understanding (“teach one”), I ensure my students understand the “why” rather than merely memorize the “that.” I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12.
