I received my B.A. from the University of Texas (Go Longhorns!) and my J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. During the three years of law school I taught law classes at the Philadelphia prisons. That terrific experience made me realize how much I enjoyed teaching and interacting with my students. I believe that the best way to teach is not to give students answers but to guide them towards answers through constant practice. That principle guided me both as a teacher, and better yet, as a student. Having been a liberal arts double major, a law student, and an appellate clerk, I can help students with a myriad of writing assignments, college and law school admission essays, personal statements, LSAT prep, and law courses involving criminal and constitutional law. In my free time, I enjoy ding yoga, reading, binge-watching Netflix, and hiking.

I'm a physician.I am a tutor who is devoted to continue working with students to help them learn to learn on their own. I want my students to gain academic confidence and the skills necessary to master any subject, using tutors as a tool to help them grow and develop in the scholarly world.My experience working with students is diverse. I have been a TA for three years, working with students in Introductory Biology, Biostatistics and Evolutionary Biology. Furthermore, I have worked as a tutor for students from primary school to college, and I have worked as a test prep instructor for a major test prep company.As a student, I have learned from amazing professors at both UTSA and UT Austin and have earned a BSA in Biology with two minors: psychology and business. I graduated in December of 2015 with High Honors.A core component of my education has been taught through research; thousands of hours of my time have been spent in research labs.Although my primary focus as a tutor lies in the sciences, I have broad experiences that allow me to work with students who need help in many different subjects, from social sciences to English, math, and test preparation.
I am currently a certified math teacher in New Mexico. I also hold endorsements in ELA and Social Studies. I have also worked as a Special Education teacher in both the resource room and inclusive classroom settings. This past summer, I was a tutor for the New Mexico Summer Literacy program, using phonics-based instruction to support struggling readers. I have extensive experience working with dyslexic students, as well as those with ADHD and ADD,
Hi, my name is Beau, and I am studying for my Bachelor's in Computer Science at the University of Texas. I spend a lot of my time learning, and most of my time in high school, was either studying for the 17 total AP exams I took, or studying for Academic UIL competitions and Science Bowl. I spend a lot of my time in class, or learning outside through self study of what I'm interested in, like other computer science languages, or different real world science and math problems.
I am very passionate about math and science. I have been a tutor at a local math tutoring chain for the last two years and I have been tutoring people for nearly my entire life. I am a very hard and dedicated worker! I am currently double majoring in math and physics at the university of Texas at Austin.
As an educator with a Master's in Early Childhood Specialization from Stephen F. Austin State University and over 15 years of classroom experience, I am passionate about nurturing a love for learning in my students. I specialize in elementary school math, ESL/ELL, and phonics, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. My teaching philosophy emphasizes patience and empathy, allowing me to tailor lessons to each child's unique interests and strengths. I believe that learning should be both fun and relevant, and I am dedicated to celebrating each student's achievements, fostering their confidence and curiosity.
I earned a B.S. in chemistry and mathematics (double major) with honors in the liberal arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. After graduation, I worked for three years at Alcami Corporation, a pharmaceutical company, as a process chemist, working on the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) on a multigram to kilogram scale. In 2019, I started graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am currently a fourth-year graduate student working on the development of new synthetic methodologies. While a PhD student at UT Austin, I have had the privilege of serving as a teaching assistant (TA) for one semester of general chemistry II lecture, four semesters of organic chemistry laboratory, and four semesters of organic chemistry II lecture. Over these nine semesters, I am proud to have earned an average TA ratingbased on student evaluationsof 4.86 out of 5.00.Unfortunately, it seems most students have had a negative experience with their organic chemistry lecture courses. Traditional approaches to teaching organic chemistry involve rote memorization of reactions, reagents, and mechanisms. I think this is both an antiquated and ineffective way of teaching organic chemistry; instead, I believe the more effective way to teach this subject is to focus on how to think about organic chemistry. Organic chemistry provides "tools" that can be leveraged to predict reactivity or the general characteristics of organic molecules. It is also important to recognize that a lot of the chemical transformations proceed by very similar pathways (i.e., "same song, different verse"). If you can learn to use these basic tools and recognize patterns, then you do not need to worry about memorizing anything! This is the exact approach that I try to use while teaching studentsapplying basic concepts/tools to more complicated systems and realizing that it truly is just a different verse of the same song.
As someone who loves learning and helping others, I'm excited about tutoring. I want to share what I know to support students in their studies. My goal is to create a friendly space where I can help students do their best and reach their academic dreams.
Hello! I am a certified French and English teacher who has taught and tutored for over 14 years now. I attended the University of Texas here in Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in French. I also studied abroad in Paris and at the University of Poitiers in France. I returned to UT to get my teaching certificate in French and English. My teaching career has been at the high school and middle school levels here in Austin, although I have tutored all ages - children, college students, and adults. When I am not working, I love to attend spend time with my boys, do yoga, and go to live music shows. I can help in all levels of English Language Arts and Study Skills. I tutor all levels of French, from beginners to high school students prepping for the French AP exam to college students. Plus I love working just on conversational French!
I am a student at University of Texas at Austin studying Health and Society. I enjoy learning the natural sciences and I'm looking forward to being able to work with you.
I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences, focused on statistics and data analysis, and a minor in Science, Technology, and Society. I later earned my Master's in Applied Digital Learning from Lamar University. My journey began as a spaceflight training instructor for the International Space Station through a NASA contractor role. That experience opened my eyes to the joy of teaching and helping others grow through knowledge. When I realized instruction was the part I loved most, I decided to pursue it full-time. Since then, I've spent over 16 years working with middle, high, and college students. From leading hands-on STEM programs to mentoring future leaders through national initiatives, I've built a career rooted in equity, innovation, and student success. I specialize in working with all learners, including ESL/ELL and students with special needs, and I take pride in adapting my approach to make learning accessible, engaging, and personal. While I'm passionate about Mathematics, it is STEM engagement, inspiration, education, and intentional educational technology use that fuels me most these days. I've helped learners achieve strong outcomes on standardized tests and develop long-term confidence in their abilities. I believe education can transform lives and that a strong foundation in math opens doors far beyond the classroom. At home, I'm a mother of three, and we enjoy visiting the library, solving puzzles, singing, dancing, and learning together. When I find quiet time, I'm usually diving into new technology, solving math challenges, or enjoying a well-earned laugh with a good comedy. Teaching is not just what I do; it is who I am.

Hello, my name is Miguel. Thank you for browsing my profile. I hope to inspire confidence in whatever subject matter we approach together, boosting student confidence in academic areas and beyond.My teaching philosophy is to use extensive questioning to help students forge their own pathway. Naturally, questions from students are encouraged and valued during all of my sessions. I emphasize a strategy based approach to studying, and keep an updated list of strategies that my students are finding helpful. I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others.The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones that have benefited me throughout my educational career. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and won third place overall in Academic Decathlon state competition my senior year. My academic performance allowed me to attend both Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin, the latter at which I earned a 3.7 GPA, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in English.As for pertinent work experience prior to Varsity Tutoring, I have tutored middle school aged children in English for a year as a part of the PAIR program and helped graduate students from foreign countries practice their conversational English.Please feel invited to contact me and/or ask me your questions. I am able to travel to most of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs, and my schedule is flexible. I look forward to finding times that both of us can work together. Best regards, and may you achieve your educational goals.
I am currently a student at the University of Texas-Austin, and in the Honors Biomedical Engineering Program. Throughout high school and into college, I have tutored students of all ages; anywhere from my employment at a mathematics tutoring center to private lessons for students my age. Other parts of my life include playing sports (tennis, soccer, ping pong, basketball), jamming on the piano, and doing extracurriculars at school.I believe the most effective teachers are not those who know the most, but those who motivate their students to want to know it all. I like to keep the student as engaged and focused as possible in the work. From my personal experiences in high school up to the Biomedical Engineering program, I have learned the variety of ways students learn and try my best to implement the most appropriate method. Last but not least, I try to ensure the student has fun and genuinely enjoys the sessions with the tutor.

Hi, I am a University of Texas at Austin Master in Professional Accounting graduate who has tutored at every level of my education career. From helping fellow students in high school with math to assisting graduate students with accounting as a TA, I understand the impact a good tutor can have not only on the bottom line grade but on overall confidence in a subject. Studying for the CPA exam (and scoring FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) puts me in a unique position to break complicated accounting subjects into their most basic components. Most of all I am genuinely passionate about helping others succeed!
As a tutor, I not only ensure my students make the grade, I nurture their academic self-esteem and innate intellectual curiosity. I do this by focusing on what my students know before turning to what they do not know. I take the time to understand and mentor my student’s particular gifts, using their individual strengths to conquer their individual academic challenges and become confident, creative, lifetime learners. By encouraging questions and providing hands-on interactive lessons which consist of substantial modeling (“see one”), guided practice (“do one”), and checking for understanding (“teach one”), I ensure my students understand the “why” rather than merely memorize the “that.”I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University of Texas at Austin as a Doctoral Candidate, where I also earned my M.A. in Philosophy. At the University of Southern California, I earned my B.A. with Departmental Honors along with the Discovery Scholar’s award for excellence in independent research. I have been tutoring and teaching for eleven years, with a primary emphasis on developing my students’ writing and critical thinking skills.In Renaissance Man fashion, I pursue well-roundedness. I let my imagination run free by playing World of Warcraft, watching Star Trek, and reading fantasy novels like The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. I support my physical health by practicing yoga, camping, and experimenting in the kitchen with healthy, delicious, recipes. I soothe my soul by spending time with my family and friends, singing in my church’s choir and curling up with my husband and four cats to enjoy a relaxing evening at home.
Hi, my name is Nithya! I'm a patient and structured tutor who believes understanding should feel empowering, not overwhelming. My goal is to break complex topics into simple, manageable steps and help students build real confidence in the material. I focus on clarity, consistency, and accountability, while staying flexible to each student's learning style. Whether we're strengthening fundamentals or preparing for an exam, I want every session to leave you feeling more capable and in control.
I am a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Economics. In high school, I worked in various tutoring roles: I was a math tutor to third-grade students for a year, a private math tutor to seventh-grade students for a year, and a piano tutor for two years. Additionally, I will be a Teach for America Ignite Fellow this semester, tutoring fifth-grade students in math. I am most passionate about math, piano, and reading comprehension. As a tutor, I have found success through tutoring my students with the "I Do, We Do, You Do" approach. Typically, I start by teaching the concept, I work on a problem with the student, and then I give the reins to the student to solve a problem. I believe teaching is vital and I believe it is especially vital to get to know and understand the student. I aspire to create a safe, fun learning environment for students where they feel they can best achieve success. I hope all my students feel like they are learning while also having fun in an environment where they feel comfortable.

My teaching philosophy relies on breaking large concepts down into small building blocks of information and utilizing the Socratic Method to ensure you truly understand your material. I look forward to working with you!
Hello! I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Computational Science. I graduated cum laude from Cornell University with a B.Sc. in Computer Science.My doctoral studies fall at the overlap of mathematics, computer science, and physics. I enjoy coding software that adheres to professional coding standards but deals with solving complex physical problems. I have half a decade of experience coding in C/C++/Java. Some of the extensive projects that I have built include a microkernel in C, a puzzle video game in C++ and a compiler in Java.Over the past few years, I have tutored students in senior level college computer science courses in operating systems and computer vision. I enjoy teaching and I look forward to working with students who not only want to master the course material but also want to learn more about the subject.
I have a PhD from Michigan State University in English with a special focus on African American Literature and History and Philosophy of Science. I have taught extensively at large research universities and small liberal arts colleges, covering wide ranges of subjects in writing, literary studies, critical theory, and philosophy of science. I am most proud of my work with STEM students, guiding them through writing classes and humanities and helping them make the most of their studies and develop transferable skills in qualitative analysis and written communication. Finding middle ground between different disciplines and skillsets has not only helped me work with a wide variety of students, but help them thrive in many different environments, as they enter industry, graduate school, medical school, or any future goals. Similarly I have a great deal of experience with GRE prep and applications more broadly, synthesizing the work students do in many disciplines into presentations of their skills and aptitudes.
I am a current undergraduate student studying economics at the University of Texas. My prior teaching experience is with students aged 6-15. I've been a teaching assistant at various museum summer programs but most recently, I was president of a program that taught underprivileged middle school students debate skills and techniques.I tutor various subjects but excel in teaching debate, history, and all things reading/writing. When it comes to reading/writing, I enjoy helping students draft and edit essays as well as tutoring students in the reading section of the SAT.My teaching philosophy is centered around applying simple principles to complicated problems. Whether it's a math concept or a reading comprehension question, that philosophy is often the solution.Outside of teaching, I enjoy mountain biking and reading. I am currently reading Shgun by James Clavell.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's of Science and Arts in Neuroscience. When it comes to standardized testing, studying for class tests, and other academic work, I used to struggle a lot when I was a student. I started taking a different approach to learning. When it came to math, I would do my best to find the simplest method to find the answer rather than studying a difficult method. I would then develop healthier study habits for my classes and would ace them while prioritizing sleep. As a former student myself, I know how difficult school can be. That is why I want to share my tips and strategies to those who seem to struggle so that they can come out on top. My history tutoring high school students, middle schoolers, and even college underclassmen has given me the experience to properly educate and help those going through academic, standardized testing, and even student life struggles. As a tutor, I will teach students the best way to tackle difficult questions in their respective subjects, studying habits that promote physical and mental wellbeing, and core concepts that are fundamental to solving questions both standardized tests and academic coursework. I have a passion to provide SAT/ACT tutoring, math, science, and even MCAT tutoring. I also like to get to know my student's personal and professional goals, so I can personalize my tutoring approach to each of them.
I received my MBA in Finance in 2013 and my Bachelors in English, French, and Business in 2007.
Math problems can be really hard, I know this well! I will help you to understand math problems in a step-by-step way, so that you not only complete your assignments, but also come away with a deeper understanding of the material.

I love to explore the world with others and help those around me discover an enthusiasm for learning that can make life so rewarding. I look forward to working with you and seeing what we can find out!
Why, hello! Thanks for stopping by! I would love to take the opportunity to express a little bit about myself. I am a Good Ol' Boy turned Intellectual. I know how to sweat, hustle, and thrive- and words helped me do it. I simply love them. I love the stories they tell, the feelings they illicit, and the lives they change. To me, everything is a story. From the alarm clock war we all fight to the people we meet to the laughs and tears we shed- they all matter! They all tie into the our great adventure of life. I'm here to make that adventure as awesome as humanly possible by sharing the love I have for words through sharpening the strengths to process, connect, and deliver them in ways to make said adventure the best it can possibly be!

After graduating, I worked for three semesters as a full time Specialist Teaching Assistant within the chemistry department at UT, and had the privilege to teach my own students everything I know about chemistry. I enjoy teaching because it allows me to share my favorite subjects with other people. I feel that it is important for first time learners to receive their education from those who are not only knowledgeable, but also passionate about the subject matter. It is this quality of education that I want to provide for all of my students.
My name is Sazid. I am very interested in teaching as well as learning so I hope during my time I can teach whoever I am working with to the best of my abilities and we can both get something out of it. I am more than happy to help anyone that requires it.
I am a strong believer in continuous learning that translates into better practice, right now, while enabling skills that will get students employed. I think that we should have a little fun trying it while working hard. Every person has a brave soul that will be discovered and will succeed.
