Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors serving Cedar Park, TX

Hi! You can usually find me in my classroom during the school year or somewhere outside during the summer. I'm excited about the ability to connect with students locally and also all around the country through Varsity.... I enjoy inquiry-based learning because it provides students with the ability to take ownership of their knowledge.... I'd like to learn what a student already understands, if they know what is expected of them to learn, and then begin...

...and an enthusiastic student. Fun fact; When I was five, my mom signed me up for a youth soccer team, where I discovered that running after a ball in Houston's humid summer heat- or at any time- for that matter, simply isn't my fort. When my mom picked up on this fact I was promptly placed into dance class, which I liked because it was indoors. My approval of air conditioned dance practice eventually evolved...

...both teacher and tutor, is to first identify the root cause(s) of any confusion or difficulty, and then to develop a method, suited to the needs of the individual student, for reconstructing understanding in a way that makes sense. Furthermore, my intention is always to instruct with sustainability in mind, so that regardless of how a classroom teacher might present a concept, a student will be able to apply what was learned during our time...

...and elementary age students. So, if you need someone to help you pass an English test or just improve your general communication skills, I can help! If you need help studying for the TOEFL or IELTS test. I can help! If you need help putting together a presentation, I can help! When I'm not teaching, I love traveling, cooking, and reading. I've taught in two major American universities as well as in Taiwan, China, and...

...tutoring for 25 years now. My son became a doctor in the army, he also has a degree in Biochemical engineering. My daughter graduated from UC Berkeley Energy Engineering with honors. I always volunteered at my children's schools. Now that my children do not need me as much as before; I try to help other children and young adults more. I am quite knowledgeable because of my great education. However, my real value stems from...

...student level. I have a strong base in all subjects, but I especially enjoy language tutoring, because I am multilingual. I love teaching Mathematics, Sciences, English, History, Writing...you name it. My philosophy is that the most effective teaching comes from knowing how my student learns, and meeting them where they are. I want to instill a love of learning, but that will not happen if I don't get to know my student. Outside teaching, I...

...Marine Science and completed my B.Sc.. For my Graduate degree in Geology I studied at the University of Oklahoma. My thesis touched multiple topics such as geologic subsurface mapping, petrophysics, k-means cluster analysis, and lithological modeling. My interests include animals (I have two kitties), arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, visiting museums, traveling to new places (especially if they have geologic outcrops, cooking, and learning new skills (right now I'm learning Python)!

...also working with students struggling with the subject. I have also worked with students preparing for their standardized exams such as the SAT and ACT and have seen scores improve dramatically. Overall, sharing my knowledge with others is one of my biggest passions since it gives me the opportunity to convey information by constructing it in my own, unique way that optimizes the student's learning. If you need help with any level of math up...

...in which this can be accomplished which means that a teacher must learn to instinctively know how to best make a lesson successful. In my experience, even the most distant child can become excited about science if it is presented in a way that relates to them. For this reason, I strive to make every lesson educationally valuable to all students by linking each concept to real life issues. It is so rewarding to see...

...to me. I aced all of my math classes throughout high school and college, was 2 years ahead of my grade, and often took 2 (or more) math classes in a single year. Of course, you may begin to wonder if that means that I won't be able to relate to students who struggle with math, but I have not found that to be the case. I have always loved helping people understand math, and...

...have also tutored elementary-school students (reading, writing, math), high-school students (AP English, AP World History, college essay-writing), and adults (business writing and English for non-native speakers).

I have been a professional business writer and editor for more than 20 years. I hold...
