Strong reading comprehension isn't just decoding words — it's learning to track an author's argument, distinguish main claims from supporting details, and make inferences from context. Chloe's linguistics minor trained her to analyze how language works at a structural level, which she translates into practical strategies for annotating, summarizing, and engaging with complex texts.

Growing up as the oldest of five meant Nathan was explaining stories, breaking down passages, and answering "but what does that mean?" long before he started tutoring — and his dual focus on History and Neuroscience at Rice keeps him reading across genres that demand very different comprehension strategies. He teaches students to approach a text with purpose: identifying what the author is building toward, connecting unfamiliar vocabulary to context clues, and knowing when to slow down versus when to skim.

I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorite subject by far is math, specifically calculus. Math is a subject almost universally hated, and I believe that is mainly due to the narrow way in which it is taught. I have ADHD, and I often don't understand things the first time they are explained to me, meaning over the years I have had to figure out different ways of looking at information. Oftentimes, all a student needs is for something to be explained in a different way, and I love watching people finally understand a concept. Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn.

Breaking down a reading passage means more than finding the main idea — it requires recognizing how authors build arguments, use tone, and embed meaning in structure. Adam's doctoral work in literature has made him especially sharp at teaching students to read actively, annotate with purpose, and answer comprehension questions with textual evidence rather than guesswork.

Strong reading comprehension comes down to knowing what to pay attention to: how an author structures an argument, where tone shifts, what a passage implies without stating outright. Alexis, a double major in English and Government at Georgetown, unpacks these strategies using both literary and nonfiction texts so students build skills that transfer across every class.

Struggling readers often skip the step that matters most: figuring out what a passage is actually arguing before diving into the details. Tanner teaches active-reading techniques like annotation, summarizing by paragraph, and identifying an author's purpose — skills he refined across his honors coursework and that translate directly to stronger comprehension in any subject.

Fourteen AP classes meant Sara spent high school learning to read like a college student — pulling arguments out of dense history texts, parsing scientific passages under time pressure, and annotating literary essays for rhetorical moves. That volume of close reading across subjects built the kind of flexible comprehension she now teaches: how to adjust strategy depending on whether a passage is narrative, argumentative, or informational, and how to pin down what a writer is really saying when the language gets tricky.

I am a current teacher in Dallas ISD. Other than being a passionate Horned Frog, I also love music and theatre. I cannot wait to meet you and see you grow and succeed!

I am passionate about social justice and I believe a great part of justice is education. Education is empowering and fulfilling and I am privileged enough to have experienced this. Now, I want to help others experience the life-changing power of education as well.

I am enrolled at the UNTHSC Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and I am doing a masters program in Medical Science. I have had lots of previous experience in tutoring, with subjects ranging from elementary to college level. I also specialize in teaching how to study for standardized tests, mainly the SAT. When I took the exam i learned a lot of beneficial tips and tricks to help me get such a good score. My goal is to teach kids the quality of good study habits and to make learning something that can be fun. I believe that teaching kids is so rewarding and I hope that my tutoring services will help students gain the confidence to take on any class.
