I've travelled the world mentoring students in Japan, forging houses in India, founding soccer programs in Costa Rica, and graduating teen moms in Texas. Education has captured my attention the world over. I'm eager to keep my hand in the field with Varsity Tutors. My other passions find me out on the pitch, drenched at Barton Springs, or languid in a Netflix puppy pile.

Tutoring individuals and small groups is a passion. I love when I am able to teach my students simple memory tricks and other skills that they can use in other parts of their lives as well. I use all four learning modalities simultaneously: seeing, hearing, feeling, and movement.

I am passionate about education and seeing people grow into fully mature and knowledgeable individuals. Learning is a privilege and the tools and resources we have available to us in the United States are such a gift. We can accomplish so much good through using knowledge to serve others and that is what I am passionate about.

I love working with students, particularly tutoring because it allows me to watch them blossom over time. I am a personable, easy-going tutor who wants students to feel comfortable working with me. I'm starting a PhD program in the fall and looking for a few tutoring opportunities to supplement my fellowship.

I have been tutoring for a little over two years. My strengths based approach allows students to build their self-esteem, while teaching them study habits that nurture their independence. I am passionate about every student knowing their worth, and that they are smart.I am currently a senior working toward my BA in Psychology at Texas State University. I plan on pursuing my Masters degree in Social Work within the next year.I have tutored grade school students to graduate students. My specialties are essay writing, essay editing, and psychology. I am a strong advocate for education being a means to a meaningful life; I try to give my appreciation of learning to every student I work with.When I am not tutoring or going to class I enjoy reading, painting, and walking my dog.

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University- Commerce where I received a Masters in Library Science. I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education at Texas State University. Since graduation, I have spent the last 15 years in public education as a tutor, Kindergarten teacher, second grade teacher, and elementary librarian. As an advocate for early childhood education, I firmly believe that the foundation laid during these formative years shapes a child's academic, social, and emotional development. Early childhood education is not merely about teaching basic skills; it is about nurturing a child's curiosity, creativity, and love for learning from the outset. In my spare time, I enjoy reading more than anything, but also love traveling and hiking!

I strive to bring knowledge, drive, and humor to every student I tutor. I have a background in English Literature and Law, and am well-versed in essay writing, editing, and construction.I have experience speaking publicly and crafting concise speeches.I will approach each tutoring session professionally and promptly, building on desired knowledge areas and honing areas that need work with unique strategies and endless passion for learning and bettering ourselves. As I teach, I hope to impart not just subject matter but a desire for further learning, and to invigorate students through shared interests and basic human desires to succeed.

I am a graduate of Texas State University- San Marcos. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications with a focus on Advertising and Media Studies. Since graduation, I have received my alternative teacher certification from ITeachTexas. I have been teaching special education to elementary students in all grade levels. Being a special education teacher has allowed me to better understand how individuals learn and to teach in a manner that allows success. My background with exceptional learners and my passion to educate has allowed me to have a better understanding of how to link the bridge between special education and general education through a collaborative process. I believe all students can learn!In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, yoga, running, and cooking in my Instant Pot.

What better person to tutor you than a professional nerd? I love all geeky academic things from a perfectly edited essay to a finely tuned test prep schedule. I spent my grade school and early college years struggling with undiagnosed ADHD. When I finally started to learn coping mechanisms and study strategies that worked with my brain, my grades went up and I was much happier. I've always had a love of learning and now I want to help you find the best studying strategies to reach your academic goals.

I received my Bachelors in Finance and Masters in Secondary Education at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. During and after my studies, I have been tutoring and teaching high school math students for the past five years. I am a certified Math teacher in the state. Algebra II has been my favorite class to teach and tutor! I believe the skills and reasoning learned in Math will take you a long way in life.Outside of teaching Math, I enjoy playing volleyball and hiking!

I graduated from Texas State in San Marcos and I have traveled extensively, including a summer teaching in China. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Language Arts Writing, and Critical Thinking. In my experience in helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I see a lot of progress in all subjects when I weave in games with skills practice. I am a big proponent of individualized lesson plans that focus on the child's strengths, interests, and areas that need improvement. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, walking trails, and the fun, free events in Austin.

Hello. I am a Spanish professor with Austin Community College. I've taught Spanish at the middle school through college level for the last 15 years and I have plenty of tutoring experience.Having learned Spanish as a second language I understand a student's struggle learning the language. Students have told me I am patient and calm as a teacher. Since I have taught young people and older students I feel I have a good understanding of how to present a given concept to a specific student. I am well aware that some younger learners struggle with attention span. For this reason I use fun activities and age appropriate materials. In the past I have tutored businessmen and women who had specific goals for a trip to a Spanish speaking country. I feel comfortable teaching both adults and children. As far as materials I have plenty to offer. I designed my own language learning website that covers the grammar learned in Spanish I and II.I look forward to working with anyone who needs help with Spanish. I am punctual and professional while still keeping a relaxed attitude with my students. If you are looking for a teacher with those qualities I'd love to work with you.

I am honored to be a part of the Varsity Tutors family! My amazing journey as a lead learner in education began 27 years ago and has encompassed teaching each of the grades kindergarten through the sixth grade both in person and virtually, as well as leading an elementary school as a campus principal. I eagerly look forward to supporting our Varsity Tutors students and their families.When I am not supporting students, I am homeschooling my 14-year-old son, watching him play golf, or spending time with family and friends. I have a weakness for cherry Dr. Pepper and my mom's famous chicken enchiladas, and I am happiest when I am teaching.

I have a Master of Education in Reading and extensive experience instructing reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary. I truly enjoy reading challenging literature in my spare time. My love of reading allows me to be passionate about teaching students to appreciate books and develop a lifelong love of learning through reading. I also have experience as a Kindergarten and ESL teacher in teaching phonics and early reading skills. I currently teach Family and Consumer Science as well as health and want to propel students to higher knowledge in a wide variety of life skills.

I have earned my Bachelor's in Mathematics at the University of North Texas, and a PhD in Mathematics Education at Texas State University. Since graduation, I have been working as a Professor of Instruction at universities. I have taught many years at the university level over all levels of mathematics. Predominantly, this has been with algebra, pre-calculus, and calculus students. My philosophy for teaching is to prepare my students with a foundation in the content of the course as well as how to apply that knowledge in new contexts. I find it key to help students answer the questions they have while also preparing them to answer any other possible questions that could come from a context.

I am a graduate of Texas State University with a BA in English and with a minor in French. I have always been passionate about languages, as well as world history and culture, and would like to help others better understand the past and how to communicate with others from around the world. I recently returned from France as I was an English teaching assistant who helped native French speakers learn and comprehend English, as well as US culture and American history while doing so. I believe that language is one of the most important facets of being human, as with it you are able to express yourself and foster connections with people different from yourself. During my free time, I like to read, study history and culture and I indulge in video games as well.

I'm a child care director with an extensive background in teaching and tutoring. I'm here to help you with your writing and reading, from elementary all the way to college-level work. I'm also fluent in Spanish and can tutor both beginners and advanced level students. I look forward to working with you!

As a healthcare professional I inspire values that recognize the inherent dignity of every person. Through personal adversities and my diverse professions, I've learned to exemplify the inherent characteristics I possess to cultivate an inclusive environment in every room I walk into, an environment where differences are recognized and respected by serving as a catalyst, providing support, and ensuring collaboration and accountability.

I am a Physics PhD student at the University of Houston set to graduate this year. Throughout my academic career, i have helped many other students, formally as part of my Teaching Assistanceship, and informally when helping out friends and classmates with homework. I have found that i enjoy sharing my understanding of math and physics, as well as the joy from solving problems. It is probably for this reason that in my free time I enjoy games and puzzles that challenge my problem solving skills.

I am a former elementary Dual Language Teacher with a passion for learning. I graduated from Texas State University in 2019 with my Bachelor's in Spanish, with minor in International Relations. I immediately continued on to graduate school and completed my Master's degree in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, specializing in Language Acquisition at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona in December 2020. My Master's thesis investigated a student's second language learning abilities depending on differing teaching platforms: face- to- face vs. live video lessons. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring natural areas, yoga, and rock climbing.

My current career path as a future educator can all be traced back to a moment that, at the time, I had not given much thought to. As a sophomore I was stopped in the hallway by a teacher I had never met before; he went on and on about how a few of my teachers had come to him and told him that I needed to be a part of his program. I immediately began to panic. Was I not doing well in my classes? He then explained that he ran a peer tutoring program through the school that matches students selected by the staff with other students who needed a little extra help. I had often answered my peers' questions in class as we worked and thought nothing of it, but apparently all my teachers had noticed. These teachers all saw something that I could not yet see for myself. Five years later and I am about to graduate from Texas State University as a Special Education teacher. I have had several years of experience working with high school students in areas of algebra, geometry, English, Reading and Science, as well as working with special populations. I believe every student, no matter what their challenge, deserves the right to the best educational experience possible.

I am a graduate of Texas State University-San Marcos. I received my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. As part of my degree program I am certified to work with ESL students. Since graduation, I have been working at a charter school as a 3rd grade teacher. I also tutor some of my former, as well as incoming students. I am passionate about working with kids in a hand-on learning environment. I believe that students better retain information when they can physically work with what they are learning (ex. Games, foldables, ect.). I love working with students on reading and writing. I spend most of my normal teaching day working on those two things. I believe that in order to be successful in all other academic areas you need to have a concrete reading ability. I have a lot of experience working with students on test prep as well. I have many hands-on activities to help with this, so that it is not boring and redundant. I like to think of my teaching style as hands-on and lots of fun! In my spare time, I love being outdoors and watching football. Go Texans!

My name is Tim Keene. I have been a teacher for 35 years. I have been privately tutoring students for 14 years. I have two Bachelor's degrees from UTSA and a Master's degree from Texas State University. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities. I myself have ADHD and so have intimate knowledge of the challenges faced by students with this condition. My daughter has Expressive Language Disorder. I tutored her throughout elementary school, middle school, high school and college. I worked with her on spelling, reading, writing and grammar. I proofread and edited her papers as well. She now holds two Bachelor's degrees and a Master's degree. I have a lifelong commitment to learning and look forward to working with you.

I am a young physics major who will be graduating in the fall with a minor in applied mathematics. I can give support and help with subject matter and with general test taking tips. I scored a 1500 on the SAT and can help provide lifelong habits regarding studying and preforming well on exams.

I am a great tutor because when I am finished tutoring a student, they not only get their work done, they understand the concept they were having trouble with. I tutored at Austin Community College for two years, I taught Secondary Mathematics for three years, and I taught at a career school for over 3 years, where I taught College Algebra, among other general education courses.

Though originally from South Texas, I recently relocated to Austin to pursue a Ph.D. in English. My areas of specialization are Medieval and Renaissance British literature. Prior to this, I received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Texas State University-San Marcos and, while pursuing my M.F.A., lived in San Antonio. As I continue my graduate studies and teach colege-level courses, I am excited to share my love of the written word with students who want to grow as writers and readers. While the majority of my tutoring and teaching experience has taken place within a college writing center or classroom setting, I would be well-suited to work with college-bound high school students preparing for AP English exams and college application essays. I also have extensive experience working with students who have developmental and remedial educational needs and, additionally, have experience tutoring students for whom English is a second language. Where literature is concerned, aside from being well-versed in early British literature, I also have abiding interests in African-American literature, Mexican-American literature, Native-American literature, and poetry in particular across time. My undergraduate and master's degrees required me to read far and wide within the American and British literary traditions, however, and I have had great success working with students who struggle with literary analysis.I believe that everyone is capable of critical thought and creative expression regardless of her or his educational background or learning level. Everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and a story that deserves to be told. As a tutor, my primary goal is to uncover and foster these things in my students because I believe that you cannot use the voice that’s uniquely yours until you first believe that you have one. And while I will put on my teacher hat when the occasion calls for it, I am first and foremost a tireless cheerleader and a relentless believer in my students. I strive to empower my students by cultivating their self-confidence and encouraging them to take intellectual and creative risks, all of which are qualities that extend far beyond the confines of an English class.Because I am a writer—specifically, a poet—many of my interests and hobbies revolve around language and literature. I am an avid reader of everything from Greco-Roman mythology to Contemporary American Poetry to Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Other interests include foreign languages in general and the Spanish language in particular, the American Southwest, classical music and music in general (I sing and play the clarinet, oboe, recorder, and ocarina), the visual arts, Star Wars and Star Trek, and the Middle Ages. I love being outdoors and am an avid hiker and backpacker. I also love to travel and have wandered across the United States, Mexico, Peru, India, and England. I hope to return to India one day and dream of going to Thailand and Tibet. My work schedule keeps me fairly busy and my cats Linus and Fergus keep me perpetually on my toes, but in my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, discovering the next best place to eat that nobody has ever heard of, combing through the shelves at Halfprice Books, and exploring the city of Austin.

Experienced and adaptable tutor bringing 6+ years experience working with students in multiple capacities, including math, reading, study/organization skills, memorization/processing speed, yoga, and more. I consider myself a lifelong learner and I'm passionate about equipping the next generation with the tools they need, not only to pass the test, but to truly comprehend and appreciate what they're learning. Ready and eager to bring subject knowledge, organization, and effective teaching methodologies to any classroom setting.

Hello! Hola! I am excited to be here! I love to teach; it is my passion! I believe a child's education is very important. They all have different styles of learning and are unique in order to make them successful. I also believe in one-on-one teaching as a great resource to help a child succeed in the area they are most needed. I am here to be apart of your child's success and will do all in my ability to accomplish their educational goals. Thank you for this opportunity!

I believe that no one should struggle through the learning process and that even the most difficult subjects can be made fun with a bit of perspective! I hold a Master's in biology and have taught in a university setting for STEM related subjects, I've also taught English! I really enjoy teaching and trying to help anyone reach a bit more understanding!

As a teacher, I believe in teaching children and young adults how to think for themselves through critical thinking and knowledge of the liberal arts. When it comes to education and pedagogy, I follow the philosophical traditions of Plato and Aristotle. While acquiring my Master's Degree in Philosophy from Texas State, I learned and thought a lot about pedagogy and the best way to communicate and interact with students. My unique education background allows me to take a different perspective in teaching kids, and this is often what is needed.Throughout my higher learning I have both struggled and been successful. I think the struggles I faced academically and overcoming them gives me unique insight in helping students, and that's why I'm passionate about teaching them.

I am a registered nurse in Central Texas with a unique academic and professional background: I earned my Bachelor's and Master's in history in 1999 and 2001, respectively. From 2002 to 2014, I taught introductory American History courses at the local community college.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2014 and my Master of Science in Nursing Education in 2019. Between 2014 and 2020, I worked in a variety of roles - as a staff nurse in the Cardiovascular ICU and Progressive Care Unit, and later as a nursing supervisor, manager, and clinical educator. All the while, the classroom was calling me back to academia. I missed that connection with my students, so I became a nurse educator in 2019. It felt amazing to help aspiring and new nurses meet their potential. Helping students connect with a subject that many of them struggled with was an absolute joy.As the pandemic raged on, I felt a pull back toward the bedside, so I became a staff nurse again in October 2021. I started tutoring as a way to continue helping students while also caring for patients.I take a holistic approach to tutoring NCLEX. I spend time getting to know my students: what they struggle with, how they've prepared in the past, where they'd like to focus their energy and time, and how they handle test anxiety. I then develop a tutoring plan to meet each person's individual needs. I teach content review, testing strategies, and in-the-moment stress-reduction techniques to help my students feel prepared as they go into the testing center.

I started as a Tutor at Austin Community College, where I spent 5 years tutoring a broad scope of mathematical and scientific courses as required. I eventually became the Organic Chemistry Instructor for students interested in becoming Pre-Medical Students . As I have spent many years in the fields of Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry, I have developed a practical approach into helping others understand the material as well as shedding light into any scientific and mathematical subjects with topics that relate. I also encourage my clients to use tools that will aide into their comprehension of the topic in question.

I attended Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English and minored in Philosophy. I recently completed a Masters in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my background in education by working in higher education counseling settings.

A graduate of Texas State University, I was a music teacher and switched to special education in 2013. As a special education teacher, who believes all students can attain goals, I've worked in elementary STAAR grades (Texas 3rd-6th), and life skills K-8. I have also taught resource math for middle school (6-8). I was also an all inclusive grade level teacher for 5th and 6th grades (ELAR, Math, Science, Social Studies). Math, reading, and writing are my specialties, with math being my favorite subject. I have been a teacher of the year and also an administrator with school improvement. I started tutoring while I was in college and continued throughout my educational career. I retired from teaching at the end of the 2024 school year and now tutor online. I look forward to continuing working with scholars and seeing them succeed.

I have taught various English courses for 5 years now, starting with a Graduate Teaching Assistant position for Missouri State University. My expertise is rooted in Creative Writing, with an emphasis on Poetry and Nonfiction. For my 3-year MFA program, I filled a similar role, teaching English Composition courses.As a teacher, I like to emphasize creative concepts and free-thinking. As an editor and curator, I work with Infrarrealista Review (currently) and other literary organizations. My freelance experience includes editing, advertising, and copywriting.As a creative writer, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize twice in 5 years for poetry. For over 10, I have dedicated myself to a career in writing and will continue to do so.

Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a Teacher Assistant. I am currently working on my teaching certification so that I may teach in Elementary and/or Middle schools. I graduated from Texas State University Spring of 2020. I have been an AVID tutor for three years, as well as an AVID student for four.

I am an experienced teacher, lover of languages, and taco enthusiast. Born and raised in Texas, I recognized the value of bilingualism from a young age, as well as my interest in teaching. Teaching high school Spanish to a mix of second language learners, heritage learners, and native speakers has allowed me to simultaneously experience two of the most beautiful moments in the world. The first is the "light bulb" moment, when a student grasps a difficult concept, and the second is what I like to call the "Hablas espaol?" moment, when an instant connection is formed with someone who immediately feels comfortable in the knowledge that you understand their mother tongue. I have been working in the field of education as either a tutor or a teacher since 2013. I have tutored and/or taught Spanish, English as a Second Language, and English writing skills. I graduated from Texas State University in 2016 with bachelor's degrees in Spanish and English, and from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2019 with my master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). During the 2016-17 school year, I had the opportunity to teach English in Spain on a Fulbright grant, which exponentially expanded my view of what it means to be a Spanish speaker in terms of linguistic variety and taught me the value of stepping outside of my comfort zone to learn more about other cultures. I also take advantage of every available opportunity to increase my knowledge of linguistics, language teaching and pedagogy, and Spanish as a heritage language. To this end, I served as the vice president of the Texas Language Education Research conference (TEXLER) in 2019, and participated in the 2020 NHLRC heritage language teacher workshop.

I have been tutoring students in both high school and college in everything ranging from basic algebra to advanced calculus. As a student pursuing a degree in mathematics I am passionate about the study and enjoy sharing my passion and my knowledge with others. I am well equipped to help improve a student's understanding and ability in a variety of fields of math. I have flexible scheduling availability and can work around a variety of schedules.

I am a graduate of Texas A and M International University and Texas State University. I received my bachelors in Political Science with a minor in History from Texas State and a masters in Curriculum and Instruction from TAMIU. Since graduation, I have dedicated my time to being an elementary teacher and paraprofessional. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Science and Social Studies. I am a firm believer in the importance of education and know I have the skillset to help others improve their own education. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, taking walks with my family, and playing board games.
