I'm a writer and editor with a passion for learning that I love to share -- I've been told my tag line should be "let's find out!" I'm a native Austinite, but I lived in New York while I got my Bachelor's in Comparative Literature and minored in Linguistics. After I graduated I moved back home to Austin and got my Masters in Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT. Now I'm in Fort Worth, with an MBA I picked up along the way (also from UT Austin) -- apparently I can't stay out of school for long.

I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I am able to build with them. I believe in teaching my key patterns of thinking; teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish, as it is said. I am best at Math and Science, and any of the high-school level subjects pertaining to those fields.

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering Honors with minors in Computer Science and Business. I have always been passionate about helping others by continuing the chain of mentorship that I received and helping others avoid the same mistakes I once made. Prior to University, I spent my spare time spreading environmental awareness to elementary students, coaching middle school basketball teams, and guiding nascent MathCounts and Science Olympiad programs. Since arriving at UT Austin, I have had the privilege of teaching a classroom of middle schoolers for a semester as part of the UTeach Outreach program. I am most passionate about Math, Computer Science, and the college application process. In my experience helping struggling students prepare their applications for admissions, I have had the most fun reviewing essays and revising resumes. I also enjoy sharing tips and tricks to solving any Standardized Math Test questions! I truly believe education is the key to a better future, and it cannot be taken for granted because of the unequal opportunities that others face. Outside of academia, I enjoy working out, hiking, playing sports with my friends, and showing people new songs!

I am a graduate of New York University and received my Bachelor of Science in Finance. I also completed my premedical coursework at NYU and will be attending medical school in July 2015 as my next step to becoming a pediatrician. Ever since high school, I have tutored and worked with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As a tutor at Mathnasium, I worked with elementary and middle school students to improve their math skills. In college, I worked for America Reads and served as a reading tutor for 3rd graders in a NYC public school. And after graduation, I spent my time before medical school teaching self-contained 4th grade in Houston ISD. While I tutor a wide range of age groups and content areas, I am most passionate about tutoring math, science, and college admission tests (SAT and ACT). As a public school teacher, I am also very familiar with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR strategies and content. I have had a lifelong passion for working with children, teaching, learning, and math/science. I truly enjoy building relationships with my students and watching them grow academically. Besides teaching children, some of my hobbies include: hiking, skiing, swimming, working with animals, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Alexander
BA Rice University
9+ Years Tutoring

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 even helped create a class during my senior year, working together with other students to write a syllabus, gather reading materials, schedule guest speakers, and ultimately, present the results to an academic dean for course credit. After graduation, I moved to Hong Kong, where I worked at a a summer program at the University of Hong Kong, in partnership with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth, as a Teaching Assistant in a Game Theory class for advanced middle school students. After the program ended, I traveled around Asia, visiting places in Malaysia and Vietnam before eventually returning to the American South, where, as a native North Carolinian, I feel at home. I usually prefer tutoring in subjects involving math and social sciences but I am very flexible. Outside of education, I love playing guitar and piano, and I have released music both as a solo artist and as part of a band. I also like to play disc golf and lacrosse and enjoy participating in fantasy football.

I'm an undergraduate at Columbia University in New York City, and from this you might think that Varsity has put my profile in the wrong city. They most certainly have not: I am a Houstonian, born and raised, and I'm back in my hometown for the summer. Last year in New York, I worked with Elementary schoolers, helping with preparation for New York State Math and English exams. This summer, I'm looking forward to helping with test-prep for all ages. With the help of some excellent teachers, I myself scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT, helping me get into Columbia, one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Since then, I've wanted to join that elite corps, to help other students conquer standardized testing, complete the college application process, and go further on the road to achieving their dreams. At Columbia, I study Computer Science, but I also have a great passion for the sciences, math, and literature. I enjoy Chemistry and Physics, am very comfortable in math from Pre-Algebra all the way through Calculus I, and have gathered some great insight about the sort of writing that is expected from America's top universities. I love learning of all sorts, and hope to be able to share some of that passion this summer! When I'm not preparing for classes, I enjoy reading the classics, learning new programming languages, and exploring the two wonderful cities I'm so privileged to split my time between.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and current skills, but students typically see meaningful gains within 8-12 weeks of focused preparation. Many students improve by 100-200 points when working with a tutor who identifies their specific weaknesses—whether that's reading comprehension pacing, vocabulary gaps, or grammar concepts. The key is targeted practice on the exact question types that challenge you most.

The biggest hurdles are managing the reading section's time pressure and mastering the nuanced grammar rules tested in the writing portion. Many students struggle with vocabulary in context questions, where knowing the dictionary definition isn't enough—you need to understand how words function within passages. A tutor can help you develop efficient reading strategies and recognize the specific grammar patterns the SAT tests repeatedly.

Successful strategies include reading the question before the passage (to know what to focus on), using process of elimination to narrow down answers, and managing your pacing so you don't rush through easier questions. For grammar, recognizing common error patterns—like subject-verb agreement or misplaced modifiers—helps you spot mistakes faster. A tutor can teach you these strategies and help you practice them until they become automatic.

Taking a full practice test every 2-3 weeks helps you track progress and get comfortable with the test's timing and format, while weekly focused practice on individual question types builds specific skills. Between full tests, you should practice targeted drills on your weaker areas—if reading comprehension is your challenge, spend time on those sections specifically. A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results to identify exactly what to focus on next.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about question formats or lack of confidence in your strategies—both things tutoring directly addresses. When you've practiced extensively with a tutor and have a clear game plan for each question type, you'll feel more in control during the actual test. Building familiarity with the test through practice tests and learning breathing techniques or pacing strategies can also help you stay calm under pressure.

Most students benefit from 8-12 weeks of consistent preparation, though your ideal timeline depends on your starting score and target score. If you're aiming for a significant improvement, starting earlier gives you time to build vocabulary, master grammar concepts, and develop reading strategies without rushing. A tutor can create a personalized study schedule that fits your timeline and focuses on your specific weak areas first.

With nearly 50 schools across McAllen's two school districts, students have varying levels of test prep resources available. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring ensures you get strategies tailored to your specific challenges rather than generic classroom instruction, which is especially valuable when preparing for a high-stakes test like the SAT. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who understand the SAT Verbal section deeply and can help you maximize your score.

Your tutor will assess your current skills by reviewing your practice test results or having you work through sample questions to identify your specific strengths and weaknesses. From there, they'll create a personalized study plan focused on your biggest opportunities for improvement, whether that's reading speed, vocabulary, or grammar. This diagnostic approach ensures every session after that targets exactly what you need to boost your score.
