Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I am a high school German teacher who would love to help you improve your German skills and prepare you for German exams! I also am highly qualified in social studies and can help with any history class.

Since childhood I've had a passion for teaching and learning math. I started actually competing in math tournaments starting in high school, but even in middle school I would do math for fun. Soon realizing my deep passion for math I ended up going to college for mathematics and now currently work as a Junior Java Developer for BGC Partners. That is a quick summary, but more detail below.In High School, I was very into competitive academics. I was on math team, science team, and even history team. My school was brand new so there weren't many people on the teams, but I always tried to make it more fun for people to come. I learned new math tricks on my own to help my fellow teammates. I ended up being district champion in number sense 2 years in a row and top 3 in mathematics those 2 years as well. Even back in high school I loved to help people with math regardless of what year they were or if it would benefit me or not. Now I usually just tutor math because I hope to maybe become a math teacher or professor in the future! Of course that's not for a while and I would have to do my Phd but I think it would be worth it because I believe teaching others math is amazing and it can truly help someone's future and there is no better feeling than that. More importantly personally I think math is just truly magnificent how these formulas and calculations of an intangible idea somehow explain all the real world.

I am a current graduate student in aerospace engineering at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. After I completed my bachelors, I went to work full-time at NASA Johnson Space Center as a flight controller supporting International Space Station operations.Math and science have been my passions since I was young. Tutoring students in these subjects and helping them develop an intuitive understanding is what matters the most!

I am a rising sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin. I am studying for a Bachelor of Science and Arts in chemistry with a minor in educational psychology and sociology. Previously, I was a student worker at a childcare center for kids 6 weeks (infants) to 5 years old (pre-school) to spur on their imagination and creativity. Throughout my high school years, I assisted fellow classmates and underclassmen when they had trouble on coursework. Because I recently graduated from high school, I understand the importance of AP exams to one's future. Even though most students aim to get a high score, I help students get into the mindset of learning for the sake of learning. Since most of the material shows up again in college, a student's future success is highly dependent on this 'mastery learning' mindset. I am passionate to tutor students over Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics while gaining an insight to their way of thinking and aid them in surpassing any obstacle. A college education may not be the only path to a successful life, but I believe that it is a guaranteed way for one to be able to look back on their early years and realize that all the hard work was worth it.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Bilingual Education. I have endorsements for Spanish, TESOL/ESL/Bilingual Education, and Literacy/Reading Specialist on my teaching licenses. I have taught Spanish, Humanities, Adult Basic Education, GED, Reading, Grammar, and ELL/ESL. I have taught children and adults and really enjoy watching a person's confidence grow along with their knowledge.

I sought to become a tutor during my undergraduate career at The University of Texas at Austin. I received my degree in Nutritional Sciences, and I will be starting dental school this fall! I love biology, and enjoy the aspect of learning and the fulfillment of succeeding in academics.Outside of school, I LOVE cooking and spending time with friends! I also love playing musical instruments, mainly flute because of its difficulty and vast repertoire.My main goal for my students is for them to become competent and comfortable in their subject areas. I understand the difficulties and pressures that come along with school, which is why I want to do my best to ensure their success.

I enjoy working with people in an intellectually stimulating setting. I have gained the most satisfaction from tutoring not by pushing people beyond their perceived limits. I can simultaneously make people see the justification behind my passion for the sciences and encourage them to open their minds to it. My students actively sought out my help, and I wanted to live up to my role as an authority in my field.I like to set an agenda for each student in our sessions in order to create a structure in which they could relax and organize their thoughts. I spent the first two to three minutes listening to them talk about their day and their interests and hobbies to connect with them as a person and find out what learning style might fit them best. For example, I notice that visual learners would pay attention to my hand movements and verbal learners sometimes write down everything that I say. I then review laws and concepts that are fundamental to understanding chemistry and frequently relate them to popular topics such as sports, weather, and family.I plan let the students dictate the pace for the last half hour of each session. I ask a few questions to confirm that they understand what we are going over, but for the most part, my hope is for them to propose and answer their own questions. I know that every student has the scientific skills to recognize a pattern, relate the concept to something they know, and use logic, and a successful session entails that the student feels the same way.

I'm a musician-turned-engineer with a penchant for applying math to everyday situations. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and have worked in Austin as a civil engineer. I also hold a Master of Music from Indiana University and taught private music lessons for several years before turning to engineering. The upshot to all of this is that I have a lot of experience with one-on-one teaching and applied mathematics. If I am your tutor, you will never have to wonder why you are learning your topic! I keep things relevant to real life and draw lots of connections with other subjects and interests.

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.

Hello! My name is Anagha, and I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Public Health on the pre-medical pathway. I have over 6 years of tutoring experience, starting in high school where I tutored elementary, middle, and high school students, and continuing in college as a peer tutor at UT and through Varsity Tutors.I specialize in math and science, where I enjoy helping students build confidence and break down challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps. I also support students with reading and writing, whether that's improving comprehension or guiding the writing and revision of essays.What I love most about tutoring is seeing students grow more confident in their abilities and reach their academic goals. I tailor my approach to each student's learning style and believe that with the right support, every student can succeed.Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or getting ahead, I'm excited to provide patient, encouraging, and personalized guidance to help them thrive.

I currently am a Senior at the University of Texas at Austin and am working towards a Bachelor of Science and Arts degree in Biology. I completed the full IB program when I was in high school. I took higher-level Biology, Chemistry, and Business and Management, and standard-level French, Math, and English. I have taken many science and mathematics courses during my time in college so I really enjoy tutoring in either of these areas.I have been with Varsity Tutors for a couple years now, so I am very familiar with the platform. I also spent 3 years tutoring kids in entry-level English and Math at the Cure Ethiopia Children's hospital, so I have a few years of tutoring experience. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am the most passionate about math, sciences, and writing. I am very patient and have had experience working with individuals across very different levels of education and backgrounds. I love traveling, photography, tennis, and volleyball.

I am a junior studying Neuroscience and Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I love volunteering in my community with non-profit organizations, and I have previous experience working with the homeless population and academic organizations. I am extremely passionate about math, which has been one of my strongest suits since elementary school, and I continued to receive training in abacus and mental math. I can help students in elementary and middle school math subjects, as this is an important foundation to have for future math courses.

Hi! My name is Michaela, and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2025 with a degree in Plan II Honors, a rigorous liberal arts program centered on critical reading, analytical writing, and independent research. I also minored in Economics and Russian language, areas that strengthened my quantitative reasoning as well as my attention to language, structure, and clarity. Through my academic workincluding study abroad and a senior thesis research projectI developed a deep appreciation for careful thinking, clear communication, and the learning process itself. I am especially passionate about helping students refine their writing, strengthen their critical thinking skills, and gain confidence in language acquisition. At present, I volunteer at a local middle school, assisting with the rollout of a Russian language club, which has reinforced my interest in working with students at different levels and meeting them where they are. I believe students succeed best when they are both challenged and supported as individuals. Learning can be difficult and frustrating at times, and I strive to be emotionally attuned, patient, and encouraging while still holding students to high standards. I am committed to making education accessible, engaging, and empowering, and I enjoy helping students build not only academic skills but also confidence in their own abilities.

I am an incoming school psychology doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As an undergraduate, I attended a prestigious honors program at the University of Texas at Austin.In essence, I have years of experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications.I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students, I design engaging and entertaining lessons, exercises, and even games for them. Understanding of material comes from active participation.

Hi hello! My name is Phoebe and I earned my BSA from The University of Texas at Austin and my MS from the University of North Texas Health Science Center. I'm currently working towards applying to medical school and a good part of that decision is because I love the STEM field so much. Throughout my education, I've personally always learned best by teaching my friends and classmates. Science and math is tough - but I wouldn't be where I am today without the help of teachers and peers who have patiently helped me understand the material. My goal is not only to help you learn the material, but equip you with the tools you need so you can be successful in future classes!

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in UT Austin's American Studies department. I received my B.S. in Media, Culture and Communication from NYU and my M.A. in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon. As a lifelong student, I love to help others enjoy the process of learning and to see their hard work pay off! I'm currently teaching a writing course at UT with the theme, "Americans Abroad." Last year, I taught discussion sections for a UT American literature course, and previously I worked as a teaching assistant for classes on introductory academic writing, U.S. history, and American culture. While I tutor a range of subjects, I especially love demystifying standardized tests and helping students improve their reading and writing skills. I also have expertise in the subject areas of American history and literature. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

As a passionate aerospace engineering student at The University of Texas at Austin, I bring over three years of tutoring experience, specializing in mathematics, particularly linear algebra, and foundational concepts in algebra and geometry. My approach to tutoring is student-centered; I believe in tailoring my methods to meet individual learning needs, fostering an environment where students feel comfortable and engaged. I utilize various strategies, including interactive problem-solving and peer-teaching techniques, to enhance understanding and retention. I am motivated by the opportunity to inspire and empower students to achieve their academic goals. In addition to my academic pursuits, I enjoy exploring chemistry and history, which enrich my tutoring sessions and provide a broader context to the subjects I teach.

Learning is one of my biggest values in life and it is important to me that everyone has the opportunity to appreciate and value learning as well.

Tutoring students and classmates is one of the most rewarding activities I've been lucky enough to experience. To see a student light up once it "clicks" is unlike anything else. My method of tutoring is to work from the bottom up. I start with the most basic aspects of a problem/concept to find where my student starts to struggle. By filling in those gaps in understanding, we develop strong footholds to reach more complex applications. I also believe in treating my students as peers. I'm a student as well, and as a student, I make mistakes. I'm honest about those mistakes: that's how we learn! I believe developing mutual respect with my student is vital to a successful session. As far as my education, I first earned my Associate of Science at Lone Star College in 2017. From there, I transferred to the University of Texas at Austin to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Physics. After taking a course on General Relativity, I had found my dream research career; and added a Bachelor of Science in Pure Mathematics. In addition to my STEM majors, I'm also completing a minor in Latin. I hope to eventually attend graduate school to study General Relativity. I tutor math (algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus 1, calculus 2, matrices and matrix calculations, and intro complex number theory), physics (mechanics, electromagnetism, waves & optics, electrodynamics, modern physics, special relativity, and physics lab report writing (including Mathematica and LaTeX), and Latin (beginner and intermediate). My favorite subjects to tutor are honestly all of them, but I have a special love for modern physics, LaTeX, and Latin! Outside of academia, I have a mountain of hobbies! I'm very active in yoga, powerlifting, and dance (both performing and choreographing). I paint, draw, sew, play piano and viola, and stream games on Twitch in my free time! Lastly, I, like many many many students, struggle with mental health. I have ADHD and anxiety, and this is a time where we students with disabilities are feeling even more overwhelmed, disoriented, and strained. I want my students to feel confident that they can, and will, get back to a sense of normal, because I will be right there helping them. I will go to great lengths to help students that are struggling academically, emotionally, and especially both.

I have lived in Texas all my life. I’ve moved from Houston to Austin and back again. I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I pursued a degree in sound engineering and recording technology with an emphasis in Pre-Med and Pre-Law. I plan on attending an institution where I can achieve a medical doctorate simultaneously with a degree in jurisdictional prudence.Five years at the UT has taught me how to take in complicated information, process it and teach it to fellow students. In a more professional atmosphere, I have helped students achieve their academic goals through tutoring on a high school level.That being said, there is a certain thrill that I have when I see someone comprehend a subject that was previously foreign to them. I have seen the look regarding subjects from an elementary level to a collegiate level. Regardless of what subject I am working with someone on, I will strive to make sure the student understands.Personally, I have an easily approachable personality. I’m friendly and easy for students and parents to get to know and trust. It’s difficult to teach someone unless there is a foundation of trust between the two parties and my disposition makes it easy to achieve that relationship.I have many hobbies. Primarily I love to practice my violin. I have been playing since I was two years old. My parents put a stick in one hand and a cardboard box in the other till I could handle the real thing. Other hobbies include fencing, reading, swimming and skiing.

I am passionate about helping students feel confident and be successful in their learning! As a student at UT Austin with broad experience in science, lab work, research, and mentoring, I truly understand how important it is to connect what is happening in the classroom to real-world scenarios. I've been a tutor for three years now, which has taught me that every learner approaches challenges differently. I hope to create an environment where all students feel supported and excited to learn.

I have just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Master's and Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering! I am very passionate about tutoring math and science courses such as physics and calculus, as well as mechanical engineering topics. I am a firm believer in the tutoring process as I have been both the tutor and the student in high school and college! In my spare time I enjoy learning guitar and spending time with family and friends.

I am currently in the final year of my PhD program at The University of Texas at Austin, where I also completed my undergraduate education. During the last decade, I developed expertise in a wide variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences because of my interdisciplinary approach to my studies. As an undergraduate, I triple majored in Government, History, and the self-created major of African Development Studies through the Humanities Honors Thesis Program in the College of Liberal Arts, where I was also a member of Plan 1 Honors (the humanities equivalent of the more well-known Plan 2 program). I also obtained minors in Philosophy and African & African Diaspora Studies, as well as a certifications in Human Rights & Social Justice and European Studies. In May 2013, I graduated a Dean's Distinguished Graduate (one of twelve graduating students selected annually for the College of Liberal Arts' highest honor). By August of the same year, I enrolled in my current program to pursue a degree in African History, with a minor in Global History. I will defend my dissertation on the history of sexual health and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa at the end of this calendar year.I always try to emphasize investing in the education of others as my personal form of gratitude for the many opportunities that propelled my own learning. Mentoring my best friend to the point that I felt his own graduate accomplishments surpassed my own has been one of the most rewarding moments of my life thus far. I possess a profound passion for guiding others to that "lightbulb moment", and I have a long history of experience doing so. My qualifications include: coaching debate and public speaking for over five years, both privately and at Westlake High School in Texas; teaching thousands of undergraduate history students at the University of Texas over the course of five years; mentoring several undergraduate thesis students; designing course curriculum and teaching aids; functioning as an Undergraduate Writing Mentor for a large freshman writing course; and providing - in various official capacities - constructive feedback on many of my colleagues' research and writing efforts.Higher level education in historical topics is almost entirely done through copious amounts of reading and almost all courses conclude with term papers amounting to close to fifty pages in length. The comprehensive exam portfolio that marked my transition from PhD Student to PhD Candidate alone consisted of over four hundred pages of quality written work. My dissertation, once finished, will be similar. Additionally, I have edited and proofread several published academic books. Finally, I am the author of over thirty pieces of written work, including chapters and articles printed by various respected academic publishers. I presented much of this research at conferences all over the world, including a paper which earned the award for the best written work from the University of Alabama in 2014.I possess over a decade of learned expertise in history, and much of my published research is held in high regard by my peers and mentors alike. My undergraduate honors thesis approached history from the direction of political science and political economy, while my current efforts examine the social and political impact of trends in global history and the history of medicine in sub-Saharan Africa. While Africa is my regional specialty, I have also taught classes in both 20th century Texan history and the history of the modern U.S. In 2015, I even taught a seminar on the global history of disease to a collection of AP World History teachers seeking to build curriculum around this topic. Historical education requires a particular style of style of writing which emphasizes the construction of effective arguments and the use of evidence to tie ideas together in a way that is distinct from the type of writing encouraged in other fields. Articulating concepts utilizing this style is by far my most refined skill.I am certainly open to discussing tutoring options further. Because I value quality education, I want to make sure that I am an appropriate fit for any student interested in working with me. This said, the lengthy amount of time I have spent with The University of Texas at Austin has granted me qualifications to educate in topics well outside of the narrow focus of my dissertation research. I have explored topics in the fields of social work, business ethics, philosophy, law, the history of science, and many more. I encourage any inquiries seeking clarification about whether I am able to provide mentorship in any particular field of study.

My name is Mohima Sultana and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BSA in Biochemistry.

That is why I am super enthusiastic about helping you find the techniques that fit with your needs and making them work for you in reaching your academic goals! As a medical student myself, I have had to find ways to learn and retain information and I can use my experience to help you excel and pursue the knowledge of your dreams! I love watching my students succeed and will do anything to support you in every way that I can to help you be successful!

Hi! My name is Avi, and I am a recent Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a strong passion for math and helping students build confidence in their abilities. I specialize in SAT Math as well as middle school and high school level math, including algebra, geometry, and pre calculus. I believe math does not have to feel intimidating. My goal is to break concepts down in a clear and relatable way so students truly understand the material rather than just memorizing formulas. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, whether they prefer step by step explanations, visual examples, or real world applications. Having gone through rigorous coursework myself, I understand the pressure students face when preparing for exams like the SAT. I focus not only on improving scores, but also on building problem solving skills and test taking strategies that help students feel confident and prepared. I am patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my students' success. Whether your goal is to boost grades, strengthen foundations, or achieve a higher SAT score, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I would love to get to know you and your learning style to allow me to aid your learning as successfully as possible!

In my family, the importance of education has always been stressed. My parents and grandparents instilled a love of learning in me very early in life that has continued throughout my education. I hope to share that love of learning with my students with every tutoring experience. I have both a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Auburn University and a master's chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. My education at both of these institutions provided me with a strong foundation in mathematics and chemistry. I have completed extensive coursework in both those areas.While working on my master's degree, I worked as a teaching assistant, teaching courses and providing extra tutoring help for undergraduate college age and adult students. In addition to teaching at the University of Texas at Austin, I served as a mentor at the local Boys and Girls Club in Austin. TX assisting middle school and high school students in various math and science related subjects. As a tutor, I work to help students to improve their grades and gain confidence in their abilities. Tutoring students is a very rewarding experience for me and through teaching, I hope to inspire students to become the next generation of engineers, scientists, and other professionals.Please contact me for any questions or for more information about the subjects I am available for and for scheduling.

I studied at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received degrees in Plan II Honors, Neurolinguistics, English and Pre-Med, as well as minors in Chemistry and Biological Sciences. I have tutored professionally for seven years, teaching students from a kindergarten level, all the way up to a graduate 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 write fiction, perform Shakespearean theatre, cook and bake from scratch, design recipes, and add my mezzo soprano to my church chorale on a regular basis.Let's learn together!

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Texas who has moved back to his hometown in Houston while I prepare to attend medical school in 2013. I had much experience tutoring at UT, as I was hired by the University from 2010 to 2012 to tutor undergraduates in Math, Chemistry, and Physics. Aside from that, I have worked part time tutoring middle school students in geography and English and have volunteered to tutor elementary school kids as well.In my free time I like to read books, across a broad spectrum of topics, visit with friends and family, and be outside. While living in Austin I had picked up the hobbies of volunteering on the weekends and going to the gym to work out, but I have yet to translate those good habits to life in Houston!

I am a patient and motivated tutor with a strong interest in STEM subjects, working with students of all ages and ability levels. I focus on building confidence and understanding by breaking down complex topics into clear, manageable steps. My tutoring approach is flexible and student-centered, adapting to each learner's needs and goals, whether that's strengthening foundations, improving exam performance, or developing problem-solving skills. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning independently.

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.

My name is Sterling Chan and I have been working in education for the past five years, specializing in math. The children I have taught have varied in grade level (K-8th) exhibiting a wide spectrum of skill levels from struggling to gifted, coming from both low-income and affluent communities. My belief though is that all children have the capacity to learn though at a unique rate that must be met and understood.My approach to teaching a new skill and assisting struggling students is to first establish an appreciation for its "real-world" application and then to break down the concept into "step-by-step" bites. Unique strengths that I bring to the tutoring relationship are my abilities to communicate and connect with students as well as an excitement for the subject matter. I believe these gifts enable me at best to instill an appreciation for learning and at the very least the capacity to frame the skill in a way that is relevant to the individual students' experience. I look forward to putting these gifts to work for your young learner's needs.In my free time I enjoy Ultimate Frisbee, singing, writing, world cultures, music, Magic the Gathering and Sudoku.

I am a graduate from University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelors of Science and Arts degree in Biochemistry, and a current DPT student at Texas Woman's University Houston Campus. I find science and math fascinating and fun both to learn about and to teach, and have much personal experience in studying and taking many standardized tests. Throughout my life, I have had consistent experience and have found joy in volunteering with kids, whether it's at my local church or in the local community when I was at UT Austin. I love working with students not only to help guide them to and witness their light bulb moments, but also because I know how much it meant to me personally whenever I had a mentor who cared about me growing up.

I am a PhD student in Educational Policy, with a Master's degree in Quantitative Methods, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I have 3 years of experience tutoring psychology statistics, and 2 years of experience as a Graduate TA for research methods. I am to the core a research nerd, and feel excited about completing my PhD and conducting education research to inform policy. While my work in policy is on a larger scale, there is nothing quite like having an impact on students directly. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in empowering students to take control of their learning experience, and to ultimately gain the confidence in themselves to succeed.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese and a minor in Anthropology. In 2016 I was lucky enough to study abroad in Sapporo, Japan, where my interest in participating in our international community began. I'm currently studying in preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT at the N2 level. While I can help students with any subject, I am most passionate about helping students learn grammar structures and verb conjugation. My teaching philosophy is flexible, and I like to try several teaching methods to find what students respond to the most because all students are individuals and don't learn the same way. Language learning can be frustrating, so I also hope to reassure students that any progress is positive. When I'm not studying or teaching, I enjoy watching movies, skateboarding, and going on bike rides.
