Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving San Marcos, TX

...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 video games,...

...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 make their education their own. I want to help...

...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.

...We met for several hours a night, two to three nights a week, and although we worked hard, we both had a lot of fun. He improved greatly in the time I worked with him, and it was incredibly rewarding to watch him master concepts that he once found difficult. I hope to be able to help students understand the material they are studying and make it their own. By building an understanding of a...

...right entryway into the material. Since teachers don't always have the time to work individually with every student, that's where a tutor comes in! I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming 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...

I attended Barnard College of Columbia University in New York City and studied Applied Mathematics and Philosophy, while 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...

...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 listening to the student and finding out exactly the student already knows...

I strive to create a fun, encouraging and collaborative...

...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 those with special needs (including G/T). Please contact me with any questions...

...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 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...

...I like to play darts, build things, do some microscopy or read books on neurology and evolution. I also am a big fan of video games and can entertain myself for weeks after getting a new game. I also love music as I have been playing the tuba and the snare since middle school. I especially like to play on my drum set whenever I come home for a few days. I have always loved...

...self-contained Adaptive Behavior classroom. I worked with students with behavioral and emotional disorders in a confined setting. I built relationships, through self-discipline and consistency, with students who had otherwise been given up on. By building successful relationships, I have had a high level of achievement in working with my students and their families. I have witnessed growth of all my students. I provided ongoing support and expertise through comprehensive assessment, planning, implementation, and overall evaluation....

...I took bilingual classes all through my elementary and middle school years and took advanced Spanish classes in high school. I now aspire to share my knowledge and love for the language with others. I look for fun and creative ways to help my students internalize the language. There are so many ways to practice a foreign language and I would love to share my special techniques with you! Being bilingual has enriched my life...

...a recent Cornell graduate who is passion about personalized education. I studied English and Film, with a lot of everything else thrown in! As someone who's been stuck in classes that didn't do anything for me, I value the fact that everyone learns differently, and that variety and context, though integral to an engaged learning experience, are often lacking in traditional classrooms. I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide...

...in 6th through 8th grades. For the past eleven years Ive been an teaching struggling readers and English language learners. I love teaching small groups of students it lets me tailor lessons to the students' strengths and weaknesses. I incorporate student interests when choosing the texts, and check in with them to see if my strategies are working. With my experience, I've got an abundance of tools, strategies, and materials from which to draw to...

I specialize in grammar and writing technique; study skills and organization; public speaking; reading comprehension; world, US, medieval, and art histories; ACT Reading, Writing, and English; AP English Language; and college admissions essays and preparation. I love conducting sessions as "learning labs" where open and honest discourse is the foundation from which critical knowledge is gleaned. My approach is...

...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 in finding out why students have certain road blocks to learning and crafting an approach that helps them overcome those obstacles. I am patient and I understand the importance of explaining a concept without assuming prior knowledge or...

I am a former public school teacher and am passionate about helping children get past the "hump" they may be experiencing academically. I earned a degree in Psychology from UTSA, after which I completed additional coursework to earn my Teaching Certificate with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. I am also an experienced tutor and love witnessing that "aha!" moment with children when they finally understand something they have struggled with. I love tutoring all...

...become confident, creative, lifetime learners. By encouraging questions and providing hands-on interactive lessons which consist of substantial modeling (“see one”), guided practice (“do one”), and checking for 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. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University...
