I am a former elementary Dual Language Teacher with a passion for learning. I graduated from Texas State University in 2019 with my Bachelor's in Spanish, with minor in International Relations. I immediately continued on to graduate school and completed my Master's degree in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, specializing in Language Acquisition at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona in December 2020. My Master's thesis investigated a student's second language learning abilities depending on differing teaching platforms: face- to- face vs. live video lessons. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring natural areas, yoga, and rock climbing.

Manpinder

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate student at Sam Houston State University pursuing MS in chemistry and going to graduate in May 2016. I am looking forward to join graduate program at UT Austin to obtain PhD in chemistry. I am currently working as a Teaching Assistant and Tutor at SHSU for various chemistry courses. I have always been passionate about chemistry and mathematics because of their direct relation with our everyday life, a need to think deeply for problem solving, and the presence of wide scope to always learn something new. I have been tutoring these courses to the school and college level students for about five years in one-onone and small group settings. I enjoy tutoring GRE quantitative as well. My tutoring strategy is to show a path to the students so that they can think through the problems and solve them by building confidence in themselves. I believe that the role of tutor is to guide, to motivate, to develop curiosity and to help students to understand concepts with a goal of watching them succeed. 'In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn' has been my all-time favorite quote.

Howard

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering Honors with minors in Computer Science and Business. I have always been passionate about helping others by continuing the chain of mentorship that I received and helping others avoid the same mistakes I once made. Prior to University, I spent my spare time spreading environmental awareness to elementary students, coaching middle school basketball teams, and guiding nascent MathCounts and Science Olympiad programs. Since arriving at UT Austin, I have had the privilege of teaching a classroom of middle schoolers for a semester as part of the UTeach Outreach program. I am most passionate about Math, Computer Science, and the college application process. In my experience helping struggling students prepare their applications for admissions, I have had the most fun reviewing essays and revising resumes. I also enjoy sharing tips and tricks to solving any Standardized Math Test questions! I truly believe education is the key to a better future, and it cannot be taken for granted because of the unequal opportunities that others face. Outside of academia, I enjoy working out, hiking, playing sports with my friends, and showing people new songs!

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin's 24 school districts serve over 159,000 students with varying curricula and academic standards. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand the specific requirements of Austin-area schools—whether students attend AISD, Eanes, Pflugerville, or other local districts. This localized expertise helps ensure tutoring aligns with each student's actual coursework and district expectations.

With an average student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1 across Austin schools, many students don't get the individualized attention they need to master challenging concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction fills that gap, allowing tutors to focus entirely on a student's learning style, pace, and specific knowledge gaps—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

Austin students typically seek help with math (algebra through calculus), science (biology, chemistry, physics), and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, AP exams). English/language arts support is also common, particularly for writing and reading comprehension. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across all these areas, plus specialized support for subjects like foreign languages, STEM courses, and test-specific strategies.

The first session focuses on understanding your student's specific needs, current performance level, and learning goals. Whether they're struggling with a particular Texas standard, preparing for AP exams, or working to improve grades, the tutor will assess where they are and create a personalized plan. This foundation ensures every subsequent session builds toward measurable progress.

Austin students take a range of standardized tests—from state assessments to the SAT (national average around 1050) and ACT (national average around 21). Tutors work with students on test-specific strategies, content review, practice testing, and time management. Personalized prep focuses on each student's actual weak areas rather than generic test prep, leading to more significant score improvements.

Yes—summer is an ideal time for focused tutoring without the pressure of ongoing schoolwork. Many Austin students use summer sessions to get ahead in challenging subjects, prepare for fall courses, or catch up on skills that need reinforcement. Consistent tutoring over the summer helps prevent learning loss and sets students up for success when school resumes.

College-bound students in Austin benefit from tutoring that strengthens their GPA, improves standardized test scores, and deepens understanding in rigorous courses. Tutors help students tackle AP and honors classes, develop strong study habits, and build confidence in challenging subjects—all of which matter for college admissions and placement. This support is especially valuable during junior and senior years when academic performance directly impacts college opportunities.

Simply tell us about your student's needs—their grade level, subject, current challenges, and goals. Varsity Tutors will match them with a tutor who fits their learning style and academic needs. You'll schedule your first session at a time that works for your family, and from there, you'll work together to track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
