BA The University of Texas at Dallas
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a Freshman of the Class of 2024 in the University of Texas at Dallas; my major is Computer Science. Back when I was in high school in Vietnam, which is a long time ago (at least 5 years), I stood out amongst my friends with the ability to perform really well in science subjects like Math, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I always love learning new things and have a passion for academic stuff. One of my proudest achievements back then was earning the highest score amongst high school seniors in my state in the annual national final exam of 2015, an equivalent to the SAT. Afterwards, I spent nearly 4 years in college as a medical student but had to quit my studying to immigrate to the US. Though I am a little bit old to start college again, I do not really deem this as a disadvantage. In fact, my past experience would be really helpful to guide me through tough times in college. I am so excited and thankful that I have a chance to pursue my passion in one of the best education systems in the world.

BA The University of Texas at Dallas
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a current undergraduate studying both neuroscience and history! I have a passion for teaching and my biggest goal for my students is to walk away feeling confident about the subject material covered in the session. I aim to create an environment that fosters trust and comfort so students are never afraid to ask questions or tell me that they're completely lost and need me to reexplain. I also make really nerdy puns and provide funny stories to help create connections with subject material and make for a fun session!

MS Southern Methodist University • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History & Archaeology with a secondary major in History. I focused on medieval art and history and wrote my senior thesis on the Byzantine Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Currently I am a Masters student in Art History at Southern Methodist University. Throughout my undergraduate education, I have taught and tutored children in various ways. My junior year of college I was a religious school teacher for First Graders. During the summer of 2012, I was an intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the Cloister's Museum and Gardens (which is a part of the Medieval Department). Throughout the summer, I led five to six, one hour tours throughout the galleries, teaching students from the ages of five to eighteen, all about medieval art. Additionally, I was inducted into Mortar Board National College Senior Honor Society my senior year of college. One of Mortar Board's missions is to help promote literacy. My chapter of the honor society worked with InspireSTL, a St. Louis based tutoring program, which places talented low-income middle school students into the region's top college-prep high schools and supports their ongoing academic progress, offering them a wide range of tutoring and financial assistance. As a group, we helped tutor the students several times a week. Working with InspireSTL I was asked to tutor a very wide range of subjects - everything from geometry to history to biology, to being asked to set up an impromptu grammar and sentence diagramming class! While I love the subjects of History and English, and have tutored and taught most subjects, I have realized that Standardized Test preparation is one of the most important steps in your education. With the right mentality and training, those tests can be an easy stepping-stone into the college of your dreams. I love learning and teaching and strongly believe that everyone deserves a world-class education, and I hope to be able to instill that desire in my students. In my spare time, when I am not in school or reading for my classes, I enjoy relaxing, doing yoga, playing tennis, and cooking - all of which re-energize me and get me ready for the next day!

AB Rice University
8+ Years Tutoring

I am a 2020 graduate of Rice University and currently in my final year of Medical School. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've found that one of the most rewarding parts of education is helping others reach their potential. I've worked with students across many stages, from high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to applicants refining personal statements for college and medical school, to medical students tackling board exams. In each of these settings, my goal remains the same: to help students not just learn material but learn how to learn. My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that success doesn't depend on being naturally gifted, it comes from consistency, structure, and a willingness to improve. I work with students to develop individualized study plans, set achievable milestones, and build momentum. I focus on helping students become confident learners who can approach problems with clarity and strategy. Especially in standardized test prep, I emphasize the importance of going into each question with a plan of attack. Whether it's reading comprehension, a science passage, or a medical vignette, I teach students how to prioritize information, filter out distractions, and apply what they know efficiently. Test-taking is a skill, and through consistent practice, students can go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. I'm especially passionate about tutoring subjects that require strategic thinking, like exam prep, because it allows me to show students how much of academic success is not about memorizing facts, but about mastering the process. My ultimate goal is to help students become independent, confident thinkers who can take these skills beyond any one test or class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Garland's 73 schools with expert tutors. Whether your student attends a school in the Garland Independent School District or nearby areas, we match them with tutors who understand the local curriculum and Texas academic standards they're working toward.

Garland students commonly seek tutoring in math, science, and English language arts—especially as they prepare for STAAR exams and transition between grade levels. We also work with students on test prep for the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses for high schoolers looking to strengthen their college applications.

With Garland's average student-teacher ratio of 15.2:1, many students benefit from one-on-one attention that classroom instruction alone can't provide. Personalized tutoring fills that gap by allowing tutors to focus entirely on your student's specific learning style, pace, and areas of struggle—something that's difficult in larger classroom settings.

During the first session, your tutor will assess your student's current understanding, learning goals, and any challenges they're facing in their classes. This helps the tutor create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and aligned with what they're learning in Garland schools.

Absolutely. Tutors work with Garland students to build the skills and confidence needed for STAAR success in reading, math, science, and social studies. They focus on the specific Texas standards your student needs to master and use practice problems and test-taking strategies to help them perform their best.

Tutoring rates vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's needs. We offer flexible options to fit different budgets, and we're happy to discuss pricing during a consultation so you can find a plan that works for your family.

Tutors who work with Garland students are experienced professionals with expertise in their subject areas and a track record of helping students succeed. Many have backgrounds in education, hold relevant certifications, and understand how to support students working toward Texas standards and local school goals.

Getting started is simple—reach out to Varsity Tutors, tell us about your student's needs and goals, and we'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit. From there, you can schedule sessions that work with your family's schedule and begin seeing progress.
