I have a genuine passion for helping people learn through an easy and effective techinque: Questioning! I have personal experiences of the struggles that come along with learning new concepts in Math and Reading. Unfortunately, I used to be very hesitant in asking for help, or for tutoring. I felt ashamed and embarrassed that I could not keep up. As a result, I did not perform well in the subject areas I was neglecting. It wasn't until I learned that ANY question, is a SIGNIFICANT question. After I began asking questions, I felt as if dots were connecting and comprehension wasn't as difficult as I thought it to be. This is what I intend for others to feel. The key to getting through obstacles, is for the learner to ask questions and seek help! Ask me anything!I previously served as a middle school math tutor with Good Samaritan community services. On the contrary, I am currently working with the Boys and Girls club of Austin, and also serve as an on-hand tutor for high-school and middle-school aged students. I worked as a Youth specialist with Good Sam (assigned to 8th grade students), however I used the opportunity to tutor students in math and reading for free! I found the experience to be highly beneficial to the students' comprehension, and for my own personal experience. For Example, working with middle-school aged students helped me grasp the needs and accommodations that would best benefit for that group of students. On the other hand, I've gained the necessities for tutoring students on the high school level through my current job, at the Boys and Girls club.Like many other Austinites, I spend a large amount of time doing outdoor activities in and around the city. One of my favorite and oldest things to do is to run the Hike and Bike trail every Sunday morning. I also delve out into other areas of the city looking for new parks and trails. I also spend a fair amount of time drawing portraits and working on pencil illustration. I found there to be a large amount of math in certain categories of drawing. Since then, just as math needs high-attention to detail, I've found dedicating the same amount of detail in my drawing always produces an impressive product (at least to myself).My goal is to reveal to students that the first step to learning something new is to first understand the basics. A misunderstanding at the basic level will hinder the student from learning new material correctly, and will inevitably cause confusion and create further obstacles.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University in 2021. My major was Sociology and Educational Psychology. After I graduated, I spent a year and a half working as an after-school site director at the YMCA while becoming a Texas certified English teacher. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, especially as it relates to literature (reading and dissecting, as well as creative writing). In my experience, I often see the most success (and excitement for learning) in my students with the games and various fun ways I use to encode and recall information. I am a passionate advocate of education, believing it to be the best ticket to a happy and successful life, and I try to inspire this desire for learning in all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, writing poetry, video games, and spending time with my cats and dogs.

I have been a tutor/mentor for over fifteen years. I received my Bachelor's degree in Spanish Literature from the University of New Mexico with a minor in Family Studies. I have also lived abroad in France where I had the opportunity to work with ESL students in Paris. I love traveling and I love working with students and seeing them succeed!

Hello! My name is Ahila Arulmani and I am currently a freshman Biochemistry major at the University of Texas at Austin. My career goals are to become a surgeon and also conduct neuroscience research. I have been interested in the medical field since I was in 3rd grade, however my favorite subject has always been math. I genuinely enjoy seeing someone solve a problem on their own and gaining that spark that motivates them to continue. I am currently involved in a PreHealth Honor Society called Alpha Epsilon Delta. I am also a member of HOSA (Health Occupations of Students of America. During my free time I go on trips with the Texas State Parks Club. Overall I am a very casual and down to earth type person and I assume I have a pretty approachable personality.

I have twenty years of mentoring students, both as instructor of record and as a writing and research tutor.My teaching and mentoring experience has given me broad knowledge of subject matter and available resources and I believe this will make me an asset to Varsity Tutors. My PhD is in Media Studies, which uses disciplines from the humanities and social sciences. My multidisciplinary experience teaching and consulting has given me the ability to help students in a variety of subjects, whether as instructor of record at St. Edward's University, or mentor at UT's Intercollegiate Athletics Pride Academic Center and UT's Undergraduate Writing Center (UWC). In all of these positions, I helped students craft writing assignments from a broad range of majors, which gave me insight into a variety of subject matter and shaped my mentoring skills.In addition to this multidisciplinary experience, my time St. Edward's and UT Austin honed my tutoring skills. I have excellent and patient communication skills and have the ability to deliver honest and constructive written and oral feedback in a calm and compassionate way. I deepened my understanding and application of rhetoric, local issues (grammar, spelling, punctuation) and global issues (argumentation, organization). At all of these writing centers, I improved at assessment through filing reports after every session, and collated and created handouts or edited older ones. Over the years I have developed my ability to mentor ELL students since many, especially at St. Edward's and the UWC, were international students and this has furthered my ability to work in an ELL context. The pedagogical roles I have filled have convinced me of the effectiveness of individual consultations in developing students' writing abilities because they offer both in-depth analysis of form and content and active learning.

Hello! Thanks for considering me as a tutor!I started tutoring while I was earning my math degree at Trinity University. Now, I'm retired from a long career in IT at the University of Texas, and am enjoying my next chapter as a math and SAT/ACT tutor.I use a cooperative and positive teaching style that concentrates on building competency and a confident attitude toward the subject matter, letting the student's grasp of the material set the pace so they are neither bored nor overwhelmed, but engaged.

I am a dedicated tutor with years of experience. I provide support and guidance for students in many subjects and specialize in test preparation, teaching study skills, and ensuring a deep understanding of all material.My background includes a Graduate Degree in Environmental and Resource Economics with honors, and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, with honors. I have tutored students at all levels of mathematics, prepared students for high school and college, and taught graduate level econometrics and statistics.

I am a second-year medical student at Baylor College of Medicine with plans to pursue a career in academic medicine. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering. So, naturally the subjects I am most passionate about include: biology, physiology, physics, mathematics (especially algebra and calculus), and MCAT test prep.I have been tutoring since high school, where I was president of and a STEM tutor for a non-profit tutoring organization for local students in grades K-12. I also tutored engineering students one-on-one in college and was a teaching assistant for several courses. In medical school, I help younger students with anatomy and create resources, such as flash cards, that my peers use to study our class material.As a tutor, it's my aim to help my students overcome their learning obstacles and really understand the underlying concepts. I take a holistic approach to learning, hoping not only to help my students pass their exams but also to inspire curiosity and enjoyment in learning.I am so excited to share my passion for math and science with other learners. I look forward to meeting new students and helping them grow!

Growing up my mind was filled with questions. Why was the ocean salty but not the Great Lakes? How much does the earth weigh? Although these constant inquiries drove my parents crazy, they ultimately led me to study the Sciences. I could not wait to study Science in high school and hurried home the first day to start reading my textbooks. But there was a problem. The textbooks were not exciting at all. They were also barely comprehensible. Science was taught in a language I did not initially understand. As your tutor, I can help translate the language of Science to one you can understand and master. I can also teach you useful study habits and techniques that will help you succeed in a competitive academic environment. Using real life examples, acronyms, and good study hygiene will make science classes easier than you ever imagined!I developed these study habits and techniques while earning my Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology from the University of Puget Sound (Seattle). I graduated summa cum laude and was awarded honors in my major. I am a certified tutor in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology. I became a tutor to teach students the tricks I learned and to spend more time with the subjects I love!

I am a senior undergrad student at UT Austin graduating next Spring with a B.S. in Computer Science. I first developed a passion for teaching through my younger siblings who are both in elementary school and needed help with their daily homework. Since high school, I've tutored and mentored students in all areas of STEM including Math, Science, and anything Computer Science/Technology related. I'm qualified to tutor in various academic subjects as well as ACT prep. But based on my past software engineering internship experiences at Apple and Microsoft, I am most confident in tutoring Computer Science topics ranging from specific coding languages to data structures, algorithms and coding projects. Outside of academia, I enjoy working out and staying fit, playing basketball, rock climbing and trying out new places to eat around Austin.
