Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a friendly, outgoing, confident person who is ready to do anything it takes to get you to your educational goals, because I'm willing to do anything to reach mine. I can help you with your homework, help you study (or even cram) for your exam tomorrow. I've even skyped with students till 12 am the night before their exams. I can also give you supplemental problems that are perhaps a bit more challenging than typical homework problems.

I am currently a senior at Rice University. I am majoring in Economics and Biochemistry & Cell Biology. Since I am still a college student, I have taken most subjects recently so the concepts are still fresh in my mind. I really enjoy working with students and will customize my method of teaching to best cater you. I have previously tutored with Kumon Learning Center and am eager to tutor you!
I'm a rising junior studying Biochemistry and Cell Biology at Rice University. I first started formally tutoring at the beginning my senior year of high school to fill up some of my free time after school. I've always enjoyed tutoring because I frequently helped my friends in my classes and really enjoyed seeing how I could impact my friends in their own success. I definitely made the right choice my senior year with tutoring because I met some remarkable families and got the opportunity to really help students in more of a long-term scope and see the difference in their grades. I'm a big advocate for the philosophy that "practice makes perfect" and I absolutely love my students that are ready to put in work.
I'm currently attending Rice University- pursuing a double major Bachelor of Arts in Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Economics. As you can probably tell I'm very passionate about math, and I'm even more passionate about teaching it! I prefer to teach math a little differently than some of you may used to. Many of students think of math as a plug and chug approach- simply being given formulas and plugging numbers in. While I will give you the formulas and critical things to remember if you insist on it, I prefer to teach mathematics as a form of problem solving. How math works is a beautiful thought process- understanding how a formula was conceived is much more rewarding than simply memorizing it. But in the end it's all up to you- the student. If you want a fast run-down of everything you need to know to ace the test- I'll happily help you. However, if you're willing to think outside of the box and learn some very neat stuff, I'll open the doors to mathematical problem solving for you!
I am incredibly excited to be working with students once again! Outside of work and tutoring, I love cheering on the Green Bay Packers, exploring the city and watching the food network.
I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Neuroscience, a minor in Sociology, and a certificate in French language. I gained a great deal of tutoring experience during my time with the Penn Tutoring Center, where I tutored Cognitive Science and French. After graduation, I served as a Community Relations Coordinator at Success Academy for two years, during which I was able to practice my elementary school tutoring skills. Since I applied to 16 universities, I also have plenty of college application experience! Additionally, I am a native Spanish speaker and I am currently working on "Problem Solving and Comprehension" by Whimbey, Lochhead, and Narode to keep my standardized testing skills sharp.
I am an engineering student at Vanderbilt and am currently taking a gap year! I love ideas and helping others. My teaching philosophy is to:
I am a recent graduate of Duke University, with a Master of Science degree in Global Health. I spent the six previous years working for Novartis as a Head of Communications in the Vaccines and Diagnostics division. I joined Novartis after completing my undergraduate degree with honors in English language and literature from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California.
I am currently a junior at Rice University, majoring in biochemistry and cell biology. I am particularly interested in tutoring math, science, writing, and test preparation. I have a strong background in tutoring over many years, and I am very comfortable working with many different kinds of students. My goal is not only to ensure success in the classroom today but to equip my students with lifelong skills that will help them to be successful in the future.
I am a Rice University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Sciences and a minor in Spanish. In the fall, I plan on beginning a master's in Human-Computer Interaction at University College London. I have extensive experience helping students with Math, Writing, Spanish, and the ACT. My primary goal as a tutor is to develop increased academic confidence and independent problem solving skills. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy running, playing piano, going to the beach, and learning new languages.
I'm a sophomore at Rice University majoring in Biosciences and on the premed track. I've had experience tutoring students, ages ranging from kindergarten through high school. I've helped a lot of my peers with AP courses and classes in high school as a peer tutor. I also have experience helping students prepare for the ACT through Varsity Tutors. I've had students go from a 25 to 32 after 2 months of working with them. It's really rewarding to see students learn and expand their own capabilities. I truly enjoy helping others achieve their goals! In my spare time I like to play badminton and piano.

Houston students frequently seek tutoring in math, science, and English—subjects that are critical for meeting Texas state standards and preparing for standardized tests like the STAAR exam. We also work with many students on test preparation for the SAT and ACT, as well as AP courses, which are increasingly popular in Houston's competitive academic environment.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction is highly effective for STAAR preparation because tutors can focus on the specific areas where your student struggles—whether that's reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or writing skills. With Houston's diverse student population and varying academic needs across our 945 schools, tutors tailor their approach to match your student's learning style and fill gaps in understanding before test day.
In the first session, the tutor will assess your student's current level, discuss academic goals, and identify areas needing the most support. This might involve reviewing recent test scores, classwork, or specific topics causing difficulty. The tutor uses this information to create a personalized plan tailored to your student's needs and your family's objectives.
Houston's average student-teacher ratio is 16.3:1, which means classroom teachers often juggle the needs of many students at different levels. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your student, adjusting pace and teaching methods to match their learning style. This targeted approach is especially valuable for students who need to catch up, move ahead, or master challenging concepts before they fall further behind in class.
