Hello! I am a third-year law student at Georgetown Law looking to provide academic and test-prep advice. I have applied to undergraduate schools and law school and have lots of experience going through the application process. I know it can be a stressful time, and I'd love to help however I can. This includes the SAT, ACT, and LSAT, all of which I have done well on (1550 / 35 / 174). I'm also happy to help with various academic subjects, particularly statistics and math up to AP Calculus; writing and grammar; and Latin. Look forward to meeting you all!

I am a current student at Rice University studying Mathematics and Computer Science. I have lots of tutoring experience, having tutored kids at my high school and at-risk youth. I know how intimidating asking for help can be, which is why I make a point of being patient and respectful with all of my students. I think it's important for students to understand that getting tutoring can be a stress-free and beneficial decision. I have always loved math, and I am able to tutor in pre-algebra, algebra, AP Calculus AB and BC, multivariable calculus, and high school physics. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing the guitar and rock climbing.

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 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!

I'm an undergraduate at Rice University, majoring in Physics and Biochemistry, with a strong passion for research, classical music, and good teaching. I've loved math and science from a young age and am eager to share my knowledge with other students. I believe that everyone deserves to enjoy learning about our world and that everyone has their own preferred way to learn. That's why I hope to offer personalized tutoring that helps you learn not just the material but also how to better teach yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, serving families across all 45 school districts in the region. Whether your student attends school in HISD, Katy ISD, Cy-Fair ISD, or any other local district, we can match them with a tutor who understands the specific curriculum and academic standards they're working with.
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.
Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and your student's specific needs. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget. Contact us for a personalized quote, and we can discuss flexible arrangements that work for your family's situation.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong backgrounds in their subject areas and experience working with students in Texas schools. Many tutors are familiar with Houston's curriculum standards and the specific challenges students face on state assessments. Each tutor is vetted to ensure they can provide high-quality, personalized instruction.
Yes, tutoring can be scheduled flexibly to fit your student's needs—whether that's after school, on weekends, or during the summer. Varsity Tutors works with families to find times that work best, making it easier to add academic support without disrupting your student's other commitments and activities.
