I am a graduate of the University of Houston at Clear Lake. I received my Bachelors of Science in Biology with a concentration in Physiology/Pre-Health and a minor in Chemistry. Since high school I tutored many students ranging from primary to college level students on a variety of science and math related topics. While I tutor a broad range of science subjects, I am most passionate in Algebra, Geometry, Anatomy, Chemistry and General Biology. I am a firm proponent of education, I try my absolut...More

I'm lucky to be born with test-taking skills that helped me pass every test and certification exam on 1st attempt, including SAT, TOEFL, FE, PE, etc. But it's not the full picture. I've long been passionate about math, physics, and science since a kid, straight As record, and went to High School for the Gifted in Math. I then decided to turn those interests into a professional career through my formal education in mechanical engineering at Iowa State University. Not only do I work hard on every ...More

I am currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a biology major with a focus of going to medical school. I've taken various college courses from psychology to British literature while in high school, so I understand the need to switch to different learning and studying styles with each subject. My personal strengths in subjects include math (algebra 1 & 2), biology, and writing as well. I took a total of 3 college writing courses in high school and also wrote a strong person...More

I am a believer in the active learning model of education. Students can memorize as much as they wish, but learning requires that teachers find some way of allowing the student to apply what they have learned. In some subjects this is easier to achieve than in others, but in any interaction with a student, I try to make sure that the learning is as engaging and active as possible.

I am a dynamic, recent Harvard PhD graduate seeking to enrich the lives of others through increasing knowledge, growth, and confidence. I currently reside in Austin, TX, but I am originally from New York City. I attended a private New England boarding school called the Hotchkiss school for high school. I received my BA in International Studies from Brown University. I have been tutoring since I was a sophomore at Brown University. I tutored elementary school students in math and Spanish. Later o...More

I am a student at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX working toward dual undergraduate degrees. In May of 2016 I will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. I traveled to Spain this past year to participate in a semester long study abroad program allowing me to be fully immersed in the Spanish language and culture. During my time abroad, I worked as a classroom assistant in the English classes taught by one of my professors to students ranging ...More

I'm eager to keep my hand in the field with Varsity Tutors. My other passions find me out on the pitch, drenched at Barton Springs, or languid in a Netflix puppy pile.

I am a graduate of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and English Literature in 2014. Since graduation, I have served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to uni...More

I am very familiar with that overwhelming feeling of anxiety that people can feel when faced with eight empty pages left on an eight page research paper or unsatisfying GRE practice scores. I want students to walk away from a session with the tools they need to tackle an obstacle that previously felt insurmountable, so I take a very hands-on approach to these subjects by actively guiding students through prompts, GRE strategies, and research outlines. I want the student to walk away from each se...More

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. My goal in helping students is to help them understand the processes behind math/science concepts and techniques, rather than just aid in finding an answer. After all, mathematics is the numerical explanation of the universe (and science can be seen as applied math), and giving life and meaning to abstract concepts will do more than just earn a student a better grade. It will help ...More
