Award-Winning Tutors from Baylor University

I have been a registered nurse since 2009. I graduated from Baylor University with my BSN and graduated from University of Texas at Arlington with my MSN Nursing Education in 2020. I have a lot of experience with patient care, test anxiety, writing nursing exam questions, and advice on how to dissect and perform well on nursing school, licensing, and certification exams. My patient care experience helps as an instructor because I love bringing real life examples to nursing concepts. I enjoy teaching immensely, particularly on nursing topics. That is not something I thought I would say when I was going through nursing school! I look forward to one-on-one and group sessions because I think it is a great opportunity to focus on the educational needs of the individual learner. I love the challenge of taking a concept and working with students until they understand. Let me help you succeed, you've already made it this far!

My name is Elizabeth Brown. I am currently a Master's student studying Computational Linguistics with the goal of pursuing my PhD in the same field. My undergraduate degree was in History, French, and International Business. While completing my undergraduate degree, I studied abroad in France for a semester. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on pre-1700 colonial American history. I would love to someday combine my passions for languages and history. After completing my undergraduate degree, I moved to South Korea and taught English as a foreign language to elementary and middle school students for two years where I gained lots of experience working with students both one-on-one and in large classrooms on improving all aspects of their English language abilities.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from Baylor University, I have over 2 years of experience in fostering student success across a diverse range of subjects, including Comparative Government and Politics, Civics, and International Politics. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express their ideas and develop critical thinking skills. I am particularly passionate about helping students navigate complex political concepts and enhance their writing abilities. By using engaging methodologies tailored to each student's unique learning style, I strive to make learning both enjoyable and impactful. In my free time, I enjoy reading and writing fiction, which further enriches my tutoring approach by integrating creativity into academic discussions.

I am currently a senior at Baylor University studying Medical Anthropology and Biology. After graduation, I plan to pursue graduate work in public health. I've worked for the past two years on campus as an undergraduate tutor, mainly focusing on biology, chemistry, and English. I also enjoy tutoring for ACT and SAT preparation and believe anyone can succeed on these exams with the right strategies and preparation. I am also a certified ESL instructor and teach a local adult course. Additionally, I speak Spanish at an intermediate level.

Hi! My name is Tyson, and I have been a teacher and school principal for a combined 16 years. I love learning in all subjects, but my very favorite is probably reading. Learning takes time, and I think it happens best in small groups or being able to talk one-on-one. I also have a three-year-old son, and we love reading books together.

Hi!Welcome to my varsity profile. Here is a short bio.I was born overseas and therefore obtained my B.S. degree in chemistry from the Universidad Central de Venezuela, a top college in my native land. Then I moved and worked in a pharmaceutical company for just a few months in the country of Spain. Right after my short experience in industry I came to the states and joined graduate school at Baylor University, where I got my Ph.D. degree in chemistry as well. Throughout my journey, so many years associated to the academic world, there were many changes but there was always one constant present and this was tutoring.I have been a tutor of chemistry ever since I stepped out of high school. I have tutor friends, friend's kids, and perfect strangers and my experience has always been so positive that it makes me enjoy helping others. For a couple of years while I was in graduate school I performed as a tutor for athletes at Baylor which was really great.Nowadays, I am a college instructor of chemistry at a local junior college so I feel fairly positive that I could help you achieve your goals as far as your chemistry class goes. I possess several of the most popular general chemistry and introductory chemistry textbooks and I can teach in both English and Spanish languages so I can accommodate to your needs if you wish so.I hope this info can fit your needs and hopefully we can meet soon!Best regards,D.C.

I am a graduate of Baylor University. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Anthropology with a concentration in Archaeology. Between my undergrad and master's, I interned at a museum in Costa Rica. For my master's, I went to UAM in Spain for Archaeology and Heritage. I am very passionate about teaching and tutoring as I think education is vital to achieving one's goals. Whether that's education in a specific trade or going onto get a degree from a college, I believe that any student can achieve their goals. It is a matter of understanding their passions and interests and connecting that to the subject. I am most passionate about teaching Spanish and English, but I do love History as it connects to my love of Archaeology.

I am a graduate from Baylor University, located in Waco, Texas. I received a Bachelor of Arts in French as well as in International Studies. I tutored many of my colleagues during my time at Baylor. I also volunteered my time as a tutor at the local middle school while I was in high school. I tutor in French, a subject I am incredibly passionate about. I initially studied French to get in touch with my French heritage and fell in love with francophone cultures, literature, and more recently, linguistics. I enjoy tutoring in French not only because of my personal enjoyment of the subject, but also because I understand all of the advantages of being proficient in a foreign language. Not only does learning a foreign language allow the ability to communicate with thousands of people in their native or socio-political tongue, but it also allows people to think and learn in an engaging way that is unique to language. There is a mix of patterns as well as abstract thought, working different areas of the brain. The idea of tutoring a subject that has so many complexities and benefits truly excites me. As a tutor, I generally have two goals. First and foremost, I provide individual attention to the pupil according to their individual learning style(s) and needs. I also tend to teach material in a way that will assist them in future lessons, primarily by revealing patterns rather than stressing memorization. Additionally, I recognize the reality of a student needing to improve their grades. My technique to improve grades involves a review of past tests and homework to develop an understanding of the teacher’s primary learning goals. This also helps me to get an idea of a pupil’s thought processes. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, and traveling both around the world and around this amazing country, both for business and for pleasure.

Hi! My name is Gabrielle (Gabe), and I'm a Biology tutor with a deep love for helping students connect with science in meaningful ways. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology, a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences, and a second Master's degree in Biology. I've taught everything from middle and high school biology, including AP Biology, to college-level Anatomy and Physiology. My goal as a tutor is to make science engaging, clear, and memorable. I focus on helping students truly understand concepts rather than just memorize facts, building their confidence to recall terms, explain ideas, and see how biology connects to the world around them.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology from Baylor University and I am a first year medical student and the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. I have experience tutoring math and science at all levels from 3rd grade through college. Teaching middle school and high school math and science is a passion of mine and helping you reach your educational goals will be my joy and privilege. Algebra 1 is my favorite subject to tutor, followed closely by Algebra 2 and high school level Chemistry.My clients can expect a lot of practice problems and drills when working with me because it's my philosophy that there's only a certain amount that you can learn through rote memorization. Discovering what you don't know, mastering it, and being able to apply what you know is what gives rise to more complete understanding and ultimately what scores points on tests.In my free time I enjoy watching and playing baseball, mountain biking, camping, lifting weights, and teaching my dog Calvin tricks.

My teaching philosophy focuses on confidence and real-world problem-solving. As a Mu Alpha Theta member and top-10% high school graduate, I make abstract concepts logical and engaging for middle and high schoolers. My background with the National Society of Black Engineers and as an AP Scholar with Distinction helps me mentor students through advanced STEM pathways. I blend analytical thinking with empathy to cultivate academic curiosity and equip students for quantitative success.

I am in my 29th year of teaching. I currently teach 8th grade English. Before teaching, I was an undergraduate student at Baylor University in Waco, TX. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Music Education in 1994 (I was a violin major). Several years down the road in 2007, I decided to go through the Master's program offered by PISD at the time, and I graduated with a master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction.My philosophy of teaching is to value the commitment of being an educator in all its glory. While my students may not remember their parts of speech, they will; however, remember how I made them feel in my classroom. Thus, one of my primary objectives at the beginning of each school year is to build relationships with both my parents and my students, because students don't learn from teachers they don't like!

I am a pre-medical student at Baylor University and I am committed to education and love the changes that it can bring in people's lives. I am very excited to be able to walk alongside others and help fine tune the process of learning.

I am a patient tutor who believes that knowledge is power. Making sure that my students learn in the best way that they can is very important to me, so I make it my personal mission to ensure that the student truly learns the material and is able to problem solve on their own. There is always more than one way to explain a problem, so if the student does not understand in one way, I make sure to implement other methods to teach them so that they can understand to the best of their ability. There is no stupid question except the one that is not asked.I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Minor in English from Baylor University. I am currently a Doctoral student studying Clinical Psychology at Widener University. I have worked previously mostly with children between ages of 6 and 13 but I am comfortable working with students of all ages. I tutor in almost all subjects, but my favorites are Math, English, Psychology and Study and Organizational skills. Outside of tutoring, I like to write (mostly poetry), read, play all sports and do crafts. I love animals and have two dogs of my own.I am the kind of tutor who believes in the success of all students. No child left behind is truly my philosophy. I implement fun tactics during tutoring sessions to help keep my students engaged but make sure to retain a respectable demeanor at the same time.

I was influenced by my family to pursue a career in medicine. My mother was an MD/PhD Pathologist in China. When we moved to the US, she first worked as a research scientist at University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston, and later she had her pathology residency at UTMB. She is now a surgical pathology fellow at Houston Methodist Hospital. My mother would teach me medical knowledge whenever she got a chance. I aspire to be a physician that is hardworking, passionate, and careful for the patients. I am determined and willing to put in the work to accomplish this goal.In 2011, to pursue the dream of becoming a physician, I entered Baylor University with a Baylor Gold Scholarship and a Jones Scholarship from Houston Jones Scholars. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Biology on the pre-med track in the Honors Program. First of all, I study diligently for each subject in the pre-med program. I am also taking music classes for a Music Minor, because I enjoy playing piano and guitar. Music has trained my patience and carefulness, and it has helped me quickly spot minor errors. Overall, I have maintained an Honors status throughout my college career.Since my junior year, I have worked as an official undergraduate tutor at Baylor University, a spot I earned with high grades in classes such as Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. I was selected from hundreds of applicants through a highly competitive interview by the tutoring center. Tutoring can be challenging. In the most difficult sessions, I revisited and retaught material. This requires me to go over the material and also make sure the students understand confusing concepts. I have to be very patient and creative in my teaching. While this might frustrate some tutors, I fully enjoy my job as a tutor. Not only does it give me a sense of accomplishment when I have educated someone on a subject he or she previously did not understand, but it is also a good practice of patience and teaching styles I will need as a future physician.I shadowed Dr. Sunil Jain, a pediatrician at UTMB, during summer in 2012. In the same summer, I also volunteered at St. Vincent's Free Clinic in Galveston both weekdays and weekends. Supervised by UTMB faculties and 4th year medical school students, I was in charge of the paperwork for reduced-cost medicine in low-income families. I also assisted in various medical procedures. I volunteered at Hillcrest Cancer Center. There, I got to know the cancer patients on a personal level and found out what kind of hardships they were going through. I regularly volunteer at the Waco Family Abuse Center. Working in medicine, I will master the skills of diagnosis, work continually to improve my quality of understanding of medicine, and educate my future patients so they can make choices for healthy lives.My curiosity for the medical field has drawn me to the medical research happening around Baylor University. I use my spare time in between classes and the weekend working in Dr. Myeongwoo Lee's lab as an undergraduate researcher. My research project is generating double gene mutations of the pat-3(sp) mutation and the pat-3(+) mutation crossed with the SK4005 mutation on c. elegans nematodes. Many genes in c. elegans are homologous to human genes. To investigate the role of the above gene mutations in the development of c. elegans is to further understand the mechanism of human neurodegenerative diseases.To open my eyes to different cultures in the world, I applied and was selected to be part of a pre-med study abroad semester in Maastricht, Netherlands. In Maastricht, I studied both for the classes taught by Baylor professors and the Maastricht University professors. I was introduced to the European culture in my free time. I visited many placesBerlin, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, Interlaken, Florence, and London. I marveled at the unique building structures, food, and customs each place had. I was impressed by the different histories of each country I toured.I believe medicine is a challenging career. I am ready to face the hard work of being a medical school student to study the mechanisms of various diseases, continual learning, and educating patients. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with students as I coach them to practice strong study habits and academic success.

I'm a recent Biochemistry graduate from Baylor University! I've always liked to help people out, and I love sharing scientific and mathematical ideas. I emphasize understanding above all else, because understanding is the path to original ideas!

Here's a tightened version under 500 characters (clean and still strong): I have a Master's degree in Psychology and experience teaching intro psychology, statistics, and research methods. I struggled in school, so I focus on explaining things in a way that works for you. I use real-life examples to make concepts click. I believe students are smarter than they think. I love learning, and the only thing I enjoy more than learning about psychology is teaching it.

I am a graduate of Baylor University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. After graduating, I worked in an environmental lab as an organic extractions technician and decided to pursue my masters degree. I obtained my Master of Science in Chemistry from Stephen F Austin State University while working as a graduate assistant teaching freshmen chemistry classes. This experience led me to the high school classroom to teach Chemistry, Pre-AP Chemistry as well as AP Chemistry. While I love to tutor math as well as science, I am most qualified and most passionate about tutoring chemistry (as if has a little of both math and science). I am a firm believer that every deserves and needs education. I also believe that you continue to learn and educate yourself throughout your life. The learning process never ends and hopefully I can convey this to my students so that they can appreciate the process. In my spare time, I enjoy reading a variety of genres, walking, gaming and of course sleeping. Also, I love to watch tennis during the grand slams.

I am currently a senior at Baylor University working towards a degree in health science studies, with a focus in pre-medicine. I am very passionate about the sciences and enjoy tutoring biology, physiology, and anatomy.I am passionate about tutoring because I feel that every student should be able to have access to adequate assistance outside of school. With an increasingly full public school system today in need of some serious reform, I believe that personal and in-group tutoring as supplemental instruction are crucial to allowing students to receive the personalized attention they need for success. Getting help outside of school is one of the first steps to being proactive in a student's academic journey, and improvement as well as new enthusiasm upon gained understanding early on in the academic journey can open doors of opportunity not only to universities and graduate programs, but also inside the mind of the student as growth and steady work ethic can be inspired by a positive learning experience. As a tutor, one has a direct impact on the educational experience of a student, and a positive one can empower and enable students to get help where they need it, as well as the confidence and positive foresight to continue on in time of difficulty.In light of this, I will try my best to make sure that every student I encounter gains an opportunity to have such a positive experience. By providing the right motivation to succeed, and applying materials learned to the real world, I hope to instill in students inspiration to gain knowledge not only for academic success, but to gain insight on the way the world functions around them. Knowledge truly is power, and being a tutor is the perfect way I can spread this power in the ways I can.

Hi there! My name is Sienna Chin, and I am a 2nd-year Pre-Medicine Health Science student at Baylor University in Waco, TX. I currently work as a Learning Assistant and Biology Education Researcher in Baylor's Biology Department and love all aspects of biology. In my free time, I enjoy making music, writing, and playing the piano. I also love the outdoors and hiking. Fun Fact: My favorite place to hike is anywhere in Vancouver, BC. I also happen to be a Canadian citizen! Can't wait to meet you!

With over a decade of medical experience, I bring a passion for teaching and a commitment to fostering understanding in science and medicine. My career has been defined by educating diverse audiencesfrom colleagues and professors to patients and studentsthrough clear, engaging communication. As a physician and former graduate teaching assistant, I've honed my teaching skills to cater to a variety of learners. My ability to adapt to different learning styles ensures that complex concepts in science and medicine are accessible, engaging and easily understood.

I graduated from Baylor University with a degree in Language and Linguistics and a minor in Math. My tutoring career began at my university when I started tutoring Math, French, and Arabic at our university tutoring center. I fell in love with teaching others and decided to spend a year teaching English in China after graduation. It was the best decision I've ever made and I learned so much, about myself and about teaching. It was also exciting to travel and see the world. Since I've returned, I have been teaching and tutoring in the Austin area. While I have tutored a wide range of subjects including English, Chemistry, Physics, Social Studies, French, Arabic and ESL, my favorite subject to teach is Math. I have loved math since I was a student myself and I really enjoy getting to share knowledge with my students and show them how beautiful Math can be. When it comes to learning, I think that the one-on-one attention a student can get from a tutor can make all the difference in building self-confidence and mastering the material. I always try to build strong relationships with my clients and create an environment where they can ask questions and get help when they need it. Only when we have trust and a safe environment can learning truly happen! In my spare time I enjoy listening to and playing music, reading, and watching soccer with my family.

I love science and believe that understanding this subject is key to success in school and life. When working with students struggling in this area, I like to help them connect with the concepts through real life application and then break down the main points to increase understanding rather than memorization. My goal is to help learners build their science foundation one lesson at a time so they will get to a point where science just makes sense!

I am a graduate of Baylor University for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. I have a Bachelor of Business Administration focused in management and a Master of Business Administration specialized in Healthcare Administration. Although my degrees are both in business, my educational background is broad spanning from biology to corporate communication to business. My passion is in healthcare, so I am interested in all subjects affecting healthcare in general. My experience with tutoring started in high school working with fellow classmates and most recently has been with student athletes at Baylor University. I love working with all levels of students, and feel I connect well and adapt well to many types of personalities. During my free time I love to be active, especially outside. I also like to travel and spend time with family and friends.

A thorough understanding of any subject is important and the goal of learning is realized when ideas are presented and the subject is taught effectively. I dedicate my efforts to respecting the student's individual need and apply essential tools to address key concepts in every subject area to bring about the overall success of the student.

"In her classroom our speculations ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that each day we came with new questions, new ideas, cupped and shielded in our hands like captured fireflies. When she left us, we were sad; but the light did not go out. She had written her indelible signature on our minds. I have had lots of teachers who taught me soon forgotten things; but only a few who created in me a new energy, a new direction. I suppose I am the unwritten manuscript of such a person. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a teacher." John SteinbeckI chose teaching as a profession for all of those reasons. I want to share my love of the social sciences with the students and perhaps inspire them to pursue careers in that wide discipline. I want to leave my job each day with the knowledge that I have done something good. But more than anything else, I want to motivate my students to always chase after knowledge.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and graduate of Baylor University (MSW) and Texas Southern University (BSW). I received my Master's in Social Work with a specialization in physical and mental health and a concentration in Immigration Policy. Since graduation, I have worked with the following populations: Immigrant and refugee families, children and adolescents in school and hospital settings, survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and adults in an acute psychiatric setting.I first began tutoring during my Master's (MSW) program at Baylor University. Nearing the end of the last semester, I decided to start an LMSW study group to support my fellow colleagues to better prepare ourselves for the LMSW exam. Some of the topics discussed in tutoring were focused on social work theories, individuals, couples, families, organizations, and communities. I provided insight on abuse and neglect, ethics, human behavior, intervention strategies with clients, and much more. Through this experience, I extended my tutoring group to several others who were interested... Many of which have become licensed like me! This motivated me to share my style of tutoring with any MSW interested in passing the LMSW exam.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy cooking, swimming, hiking, and walking my dogs! I am looking forward to working alongside you and helping achieve your ultimate goal of passing the LMSW exam!

My Master’s Degree in Humanities/Education coupled with 15 years’ experience teaching Spanish help me to the most effective tutor possible.I have been an educator for eighteen years. Throughout this time period, I have had the opportunity to reach a variety of audiences, working collaboratively with a diverse group of educators and students in numerous educational settings. The common thread that runs through my career is my desire to positively impact the lives of others.I am dedicated to serving young people so that they can achieve their potential, discover their talents, and utilize the gifts they have been given.

With my experience and set of skills, I feel I can provide the coaching and mentoring needed to excel in your studies!

I come from a family of four children. I am the second born and so I always had to help my junior sisters with their homework problems. I enjoyed it a lot and decided to become a tutor once I got to college. One big advantage of tutoring is that it help you help others, put a smile on their faces and make them happy. I have being a tutor for a total of four years already and have enjoyed all the gifts I have gotten from it.I went to Lone Star College Cy-Fair and then transferred to Baylor University where I earned my Bachelors degree with a major in Biochemistry and a minor in mathematics. Throughout my time in college, I was a tutor in both schools and enjoyed it a lot. During tutoring, not only am I teaching a student a concept but I am also learning that concept. That is also one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.

For 11 years I have tutored math and science, full-time, with high school and college students. For many years I taught math (pre-algebra to pre-calculus) and science (biology, chemistry, and physics) in the classroom. I have taught both basic and honors courses. I have a Master's degree in psychology and 3 additional years of college credit in education-related courses. This breadth of knowledge makes me a better tutor. Students appreciate my ability to describe things in a variety of ways to match their needs. They often thank me for my patience. I love my work. One of my goals is to help each student understand completely so that they can love to learn, too. I also love knitting and crocheting. In addition to teaching the basics, I encourage needelworkers to develop their creativity so that they can design their own projects.

I am an experienced tutor, who has helped students raise their grades and succeed on college entrance exams.

Building confidence in struggling students is why I am a teacher. I believe that every student has the ability to be successful, but for many students the "traditional" approach is not working in a class full of students. I am a fourth grade teacher in Texas and studied at Baylor University. I have a Bachelors in Elementary Education as well as certifications in Teaching English as a Second Language and the Science of Teaching Reading. I love tutoring elementary and middle school students as this is a pivotal time time in their lives and often need to learn foundational skills to help them feel confident in our everyday classroom settings. I look forward to spending time with your students and their education is important to me! I want your child to feel confident in school as they face the upcoming year.

My goal in tutoring is to guide you to the next level of achievement. I believe that all education is Socratic, and we can all learn from each other. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, running and working with raptors at a wildlife rehab center.

I have 5+ years teaching English I-IV, including pre-AP. I understand that students need an environment that is conducive to enhancing their reading, writing, and annotating abilities. I love watching students expand their minds, and I enjoy being a part of that process. Everyone struggles, so it's good to know that you're the one who steps in and fosters a learning environment that will increase the intellectual aptitudes for students.They say when you're tired, you're mentally only 40% tired--you're stronger than you know.

Learning is one of the best things a person can do. But, there is nothing worse than sitting in class feeling like you are the only one that does not understand- trust me, I have been there. With that being said, I would love to be a part of the educational process that leads to the cultivation of new found understanding that restores the confidence you need to succeed. I believe I have the right tools to help you get there.

I love helping Anatomy and Physiology students find simple and logical elements of this incredibly complex subject. If you think of A&P as a foreign language imbedded in a science class, learning the new language first helps the science make more sense. I received my Master's in Sports Health-Clinical Exercise Physiology at Texas Tech, a program that allowed me to take gross anatomy at the Health Science Center in the cadaver lab, and my bachelor's degree in Health Science is from Baylor. I taught in higher education for 8 years at both colleges and massage therapy schools. I left full time teaching a few years back to be more available to my new family, using that flexibility to train clients (Certified Personal Trainer through NASM for 20 years). I am extremely passionate about helping people understand the body and how it works, either through teaching students so they are as prepared as possible for a career in healthcare or clients working towards the health of their body.
