I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University with an undergraduate degree in Spanish, and I am currently a visual artist pursuing further studies in digital and web design.

I'm a computer and social scientist. I hold graduate degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago and earned my bachelor's at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, I research ways the natural sciences can be used to advance the study of anthropology and history. I am currently completing my PhD.
I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor.
I am a rising Junior at Princeton University who is passionate about the ways in which people learn, which has led me to pursue a degree in Neuropsychology. Through great experiences teaching English in Chiangmai, Thailand for two months and tutoring Calculus I and II through Princeton University's McGraw Tutoring program for two years, I have come across many learning styles and have developed a love for teaching. My strengths include standardized testing, Spanish, Mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus) and ACT/SAT/CLEP prep. I have experience working with students who are in grades K-College.
I am a graduate of Rice University with a degree in Mathematical Economic Analysis. Throughout college, I worked extensively with middle and early high school students, tutoring and teaching Math and Algebra. I also worked for three years with students, age 3-12, in a non-profit setting, as an employee and volunteer, helping them to learn about and explore a variety of Science and Social Science topics. Though I enjoy working with all subjects, teaching Math is my passion. I know that everyone has the potential to understand Math. My goal is to make sure that every student that I work with realizes their own potential, becomes a more confident mathematician, and is ultimately able to reach whatever level of success they aspire to. In my spare time, I enjoy running, Barre and Pilates classes, and cooking. I am also a lifelong horse lover and ride western and saddle-seat.
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with Latin and University Honors. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at UT Dallas again. I have over 2 years of experience tutoring college level Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and Differential Equations for UT Dallas' Peer Tutoring Program, which is a drop-in one-on-one tutoring service offered by UT Dallas to all its students. I also have around a year's worth of experience tutoring privately for a variety of subjects including Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, SAT Math, and other standardized test math sections. I've always had excellent feedback about my tutoring services since I love forming connections with my students and make every tutoring session fun and educational at the same time. If you need an A in your math class or need to ace your SAT math section, look no further :)
I am a graduate of Georgetown University where I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in International Politics with a concentration on Foreign Policy. I also earned a Certificate in Latin American Studies and am a member of Pi Sigma Alpha, The National Political Science Honor Society. I have experience tutoring students in both the SAT and the SSAT. Additionally, my time as an 8th Grade Science teacher here in Dallas has prepared me for the curriculum and challenges facing students in the area. While I offer tutoring in a broad range of subjects from foreign languages to grammar and writing to math and science, I find Physics to be the most enjoyable subject to teach. I see Physics as the science that allows all the other sciences to occur, and I find it helpful to use Physics demonstrations when studying the subject. When it comes to tutoring, I believe that whoever is doing the talking is doing the learning, so my students will be doing the leg work when it comes to their learning. I believe that every student can achieve success in school; each student just learns at their own pace and in their own way. When I have free time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing a game of tennis, or participating in or watching theatrical events.
I am a mathematics instructor at Tarrant County College and I am interested in helping math and engineering students achieve success!
I am involved in the preparation of students for university/higher education entrance and for prospective employees applying to enter the world of work. I offer best-practice rsum preparation and interview experience.
I am currently a student at Baylor University in the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society for exceptional performance. My whole life I have loved helping people learn and am dedicating my life to assisting others in their pursuit of knowledge. This is why I am majoring in All-Level Special Education and will be certified to teach all-level special education, elementary education, and ESL. My SAT score was in the 97th percentile and have received the AP Scholar with Honors award from the College Board. I am a dedicated tutor with a passion for watching my students learn! I have many years experience teaching students and my main goal is always to lead my clients to success.
I'm a sophomore undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin studying Biology! Though I am a science major and love to tutor high school biology and chemistry, I also enjoy teaching math topics, such as Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Pre Calculus, and SAT (including PSAT) Prep topics, such as SAT Reading, SAT Writing, and SAT Essay. I would love to get to know you and your learning style to allow me to aid your learning as successfully as possible!
I am a rising senior at The University of North Texas in Denton. I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish as well as English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I was raised in an academically competitive environment in Fort Bend County and my rigorous secondary education prepared me for success in college. I am a fortunate member of the Terry Scholarship Foundation, which has provided me and hundreds of other Texans with a private, four-year, full-ride scholarship. As a Terry Scholar, I am well-versed in all subjects and have taken on the role of mentor to many of the incoming freshmen. I have spent most of my free time in college as a nanny and tutor to families around the DFW area. I have experience with all age groups and there is nothing that intimidates me! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, Spanish, and Government/Social Studies. Through my experiences helping struggling students and peers, I have realized the value of adaptability. Most people reach out to a tutor because the traditional classroom method is not best suited for their learning needs. There is nothing more joyful than when a student finally understands the material in a way that makes sense to them. Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power of education and I hope to share my love of learning with all of my students. After graduation I plan on returning to Houston to obtain my Master of Arts in Teaching from Rice University. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing anything from poetry to screenplays. I have also been involved in competitive dance for most of my adolescence, so I understand the balance of academics and extracurriculars.
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology as my field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career. While studying at UT Austin, I had the opportunity to tutor and work with children as part of a summer program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Recently, I have been working for Berkeley2 Academy as a tutor and preparatory class instructor for subjects ranging from SAT and ACT Verbal skills to US AP History.
I am a second year medical student in the new MD program at Nova Southeastern University. I began tutoring students on a volunteer basis when I was in high school and was employed by a tutoring agency while in college. I have experience working with students in Math, Sciences (Biology & Chemistry), and Spanish and have experience tutoring students in Elementary, Middle, and High School as well as college. I also have experience with SAT and ACT prep as I obtained high scores on those standardized tests as well as the MCAT (medical school admissions exams).
I am a 19-year-old Sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I’m currently working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Literary Studies, minoring in Psychology, and am working towards teaching certification. Afterwards, I intend to work towards my Masters Degree in Humanities with a focus on Studies in Literature. I have been a part of the Future Teacher Internship program at my high school, worked as a teaching intern/assistant, and am currently employed as an AVID tutor. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, though my specialty lies with older kids. With a GPA of 4.5, I was ranked number 10 in my high school graduating class of over 650 students, and my current GPA at UTD is 3.97.
I am also well versed in the Python programming language.
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Plan II Honors along with a minor in Biology. During my years as an undergrad, I served as a peer adviser to help incoming freshmen prepare for college-level classes; an editor for both my university's literary journal and research journal; and a Mandarin Chinese teacher for beginning learners. After graduation, I began tutoring ESL students from China and eventually succeeded in raising their English scores by a full letter grade at the end of the semester. With more than 5 years of mentoring, tutoring, and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialtiesreading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me to both expand my education and aid a greater amount of people. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing; playing the piano, violin, and ukulele; pet-sitting kittens or puppies; and trying adventurous foods.
I am a graduate of Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA. I received my Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering in 2003. Since graduation, I have worked in the areas of Transportation, Environmental, and Structural Engineering. I have also tutored part time since 2006 upon moving back to Dallas, TX. My main areas of focus within mathematics include Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Algebra III, College Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, Elementary Math, Middle School Math, and Chemistry. My tutoring sessions are tailor made to each student focusing on both strengths and weaknesses while adding an element of fun. I am a firm believer in exhibiting the utmost patience with each student as well as making sure each student has a firm grasp of the the subject material. In my spare time, I am an avid reader, personal trainer, and jazz musician.
I am able to tutor any subject for the younger grades. I have been in the Gifted and Talented and AP programs my whole life so I am good at challenging work. I look forward to working with you guys! Please let me know if you have any questions!
I am currently a senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about helping students improve their reading and writing skills, and I really enjoy helping students with Critical Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests. I love working with students and helping them realize their full academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring Chicago, reading, and cooking.
I am primarily an SAT and writing tutor with two years of experience and over 60 former students. I have spent hundreds of hours familiarizing myself with dozens of real SAT tests and SAT format-specific strategies. While a tutor, and later general manager, at a boutique university admissions consulting company in Cairo Egypt, I applied my teaching experience to a leading role developing SAT curricula for a variety of skill levels.
I am applying to medical school and I'm enrolled at the BU Medical school getting my Master's in Medical Science. As a recent graduate of Princeton University, I have realized the importance of the learning process. Often times the difficulty of the material comes from the unfamiliarity of the approach to it, rather than the inherent difficulty of the material. As a tutor, I hope to help my students realize that they can master the material when they learn the best learning strategies to approaching their various assignments.
I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!
I am a Sophomore at Knox College seeking a double major in Philosophy and Creative Writing. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Writing, and Psychology. I also enjoy helping students prepare for the ACT and the SAT. I invest fully in each student. This means attentive listening, personalized study plans, and genuine care. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy writing poetry, running, and playing chess.
I am a knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate tutor. My teaching experience ranges from high school instruction, private tutoring, coaching, preaching, and leading high school youth groups. I have tutored and/or taught in algebra 1, geometry, American literature, world literature, middle school math, middle school science, middle school English/reading, American history, world history, essay composition, SAT prep, SSAT/ISEE prep, SHSAT prep, and GRE prep. I always try to discern what the individual needs and learning styles of my students are and then try to meet them where they are. I believe that there is a great student inside everyone, and it takes the right approach to make that great student manifest.
I am currently a law student and am on the road to appreciating a new kind of study: that of various legal doctrines, statutory interpretation and methods of argumentation.
As a second-year medical student with a strong foundation in science and a passion for education, I specialize in making tough subjects easier to understand. I excel in math, biology, physics, and other challenging topics that often intimidate students and I genuinely enjoy helping others master them. My approach combines patience, clarity, and high-level understanding to break down complex ideas into manageable, confidence-boosting lessons. Whether it's reviewing homework or prepping for exams, I'm here to support and motivate students at any level below mine to reach their full academic potential. My interests include: Weightlifting and fitness training (especially strength and hypertrophy programs) Morning cardio and physical conditioning Studying medicine with a focus on anatomy, physiology, and clinical problem-solving Teaching and tutoring tough academic subjects like math, biology, and physics Watching anime as a way to relax and recharge (especially after a long day) Cooking (with a focus on high-protein, keto/carnivore meals)
I am an undergraduate student studying Economics and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. I attended the Horace Mann School in New York City. I love teaching and working with students because I feel that there is nothing more rewarding than being able to provide the extra push that students might need to be successful. I am passionate about helping students learn and making sure they are having fun doing so. I'm also happy to talk about anything a student might want to talk about, academically, extracurricularly, or otherwise.
I am currently a student at Stanford University studying math and political science. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with younger students. I have helped students of different ages and from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and so I am very conscious of the needs and prior knowledge my students and tailor my tutoring method and style individually.
I am now a medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
I'm currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at Temple University. I love working with children and young adults, and I'm thrilled to be spending some time tutoring this spring.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) is a standardized test used for admission to private and independent schools. Students in El Paso typically take it in grades 4-11 depending on which school they're applying to. The exam assesses verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and math achievement to help schools evaluate readiness for their programs.
The ISEE has four levels: Primary (grades 2-3), Lower (grades 4-5), Middle (grades 6-7), and Upper (grades 8-11). Your level depends on the grade you're currently in and the grade you're applying to enter. Most El Paso students preparing for private school admission take the Middle or Upper level exams. Check with your target school to confirm which level you'll need to take.
Many students struggle with the verbal reasoning section, which requires understanding complex vocabulary and logical relationships rather than just memorization. The quantitative reasoning section also trips up students because it emphasizes problem-solving and critical thinking over straightforward calculations. Time management is another major challenge—the ISEE moves quickly, and students need practice pacing themselves through all sections without rushing or running out of time.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses specifically on your strengths and weaknesses rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum. A tutor can identify whether you need more work on vocabulary building, math problem-solving strategies, or test-taking stamina, then tailor sessions accordingly. This targeted approach typically leads to faster improvement because you're not spending time on skills you've already mastered.
Your first session typically includes a diagnostic assessment to understand your current skills across all ISEE sections—verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and math. The tutor will identify which areas need the most attention and discuss your goals and timeline. Together, you'll create a personalized study plan that breaks down your prep into manageable steps leading up to test day.
Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation, though this varies based on starting level and target score. Students who begin tutoring 3-4 months before their test date usually have enough time to build foundational skills, practice test-taking strategies, and take full-length practice exams. Starting earlier allows for a more relaxed pace and multiple opportunities to refine weak areas before test day.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but students typically see meaningful gains within 6-8 weeks of consistent tutoring. The ISEE uses scaled scores (typically ranging from 760-948 per section), and focused preparation often results in 50-150 point improvements overall. The most significant gains usually come from targeted work on your weakest sections and developing strategic test-taking approaches.
