Neel
BA The University of Texas at Austin

Hi, my name is Neel, and I am a junior at UT Austin. A month out from my test day, I scored a 512 and was able to increase that to a 521 (131/128/132/130) on test day. As someone who just went through this process, I know how scary and anxiety-inducing the MCAT can feel. I don't just want to help students learn the material, I want to help them build confidence and develop the right mindset going into test day. I have over four years of tutoring experience, including working at Mathnasium and tutoring Organic Chemistry.

I'm passionate about helping students because I enjoy mathematics and like to put my interest to good use. I tutored middle and high schoolers during my four years of high school, helped students go over tests in calculus, and taught tricks for mental math as captain of the Math UIL Number Sense team my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from Cypress Ranch High School in 2020 and am currently pursuing a Mathematics degree and Computer Science Certificate at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor many types of math, and I enjoy them all equally because I like the tricks that can be used in each subject. I approach tutoring as a way to get to know the student and help them where they need it. I like to use icebreakers to make them feel more comfortable, then understand their approach to solving problems and figure out how I can help.

Hello, I'm Atharva and I attend The University of Texas at Austin! I am currently majoring in computational engineering, which is essentially a mix of math, computer science, and aerospace engineering. I have worked as a math tutor for around 3 years, and I have seen students improve their scores significantly in their classes and standardized tests. I especially enjoy tutoring math since I strongly believe it can be very interesting if taught in an engaging way rather than straight out of a dull textbook. I believe I have this ability to make my tutoring sessions more interactive and productive, and I love being able to help students understand the intuition behind the concepts they learn in class instead of making them simply memorize them.I have taken all math courses up to Calculus 3 and excelled with As in every single one, so I have ample experience in not only working with the subject, but 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 to Calculus 3, you have found the right person :)

EDU University of Washington-Seattle Campus • EDU The University of Texas at Austin
6+ Years Tutoring

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Education (Special Education; Learning and Behavior Disorders) from The University of Texas. I received my Doctorate in Education from The University of Washington. I have public and private school experience teaching students with learning disabilities and emotional disorders in upper elementary grades and middle school. In addition, I taught 5th grade for two years. I had the opportunity to enter a doctoral program in education at the University of Washington when my family moved to Seattle. I worked as a Teaching and Research Assistant while completing my degree. Upon finishing, I remained at UW for three years to direct a research project in special education and to direct their teacher education program in Behavior Disorders. I taught graduate level courses in two fields, learning disabilities and behavior disorders. Our family made the decision to return to Texas in 1991 when my husband and I both had new job opportunities. I was a Professor of Special Education at TCU in Fort Worth from 1991 until I recently retired. My experiences at TCU included directing the graduate and undergraduate programs in special education. Because students graduating from our program earned dual certification in general and special education, I was heavily involved in teaching college students who were planning to be elementary and middle school teachers. TCU has two laboratory schools, Starpoint School (for elementary students with learning disabilities) and KinderFrogs School, an early intervention program for young children with Down Syndrome and other developmental delays. I was on the Advisory Board for both schools and worked closely with the teachers, assisting as needed. My experiences go beyond the rather bland description of what is written above. I am passionate about teaching children and youth and advocating for their needs. Too often the focus is placed on student deficits rather than student strengths. This leads to a cycle of defeat within the child. Teaching requires meeting student needs. My strength is identifying students' strengths and needs and to teach accordingly. I have over 30 years experience in developing successful learning strategies that assist students in their learning. I am in my 60s and I am still excited about meeting and teaching students. Every student has unique ways of learning. I believe that it is important to establish a strong teaching/learning relationship with each student based on their uniqueness. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I currently live on a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina with my black lab. I volunteer for several local charities and for Meals on Wheels. I love my life!

Education has been my passion and my career for 8 years. I began teaching in Special Education, which I believe makes me an excellent candidate for tutoring for many reasons. First, I am able to differentiate my lessons and other lessons for all abilities. Differentiation is essential and it proves that teachers are in tune with the individual students and can adapt any lesson to meet every child's needs. As a special education teacher, I was also able to create and implement incentive systems which served as a motivator for students, especially when the lessons increase in difficulty. Another reason I would love to tutor is because I can devise engaging activities with multi-sensory lessons so children of all abilities are able to be successful, challenged, and engaged.

I like to use YouTube videos and drawings to help students gain a better conceptual understanding of content and then emphasize methodical step-by-step problem solving to reinforce those concepts.

I moved to Austin seven years ago for graduate school, where I received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. During school I taught English literature, Spanish, and Portuguese. My strengths are definitely writing, literary studies, and foreign languages. My studies also branch into the social sciences such as History and Political Science (my B.A. is in the latter).I enjoy teaching in the classroom, but really appreciate the one-on-one dynamic of tutoring. The constant direct communication allows the student and tutor to focus on precisely what the student needs to learn or what skills they could most benefit from improving. Most of my tutoring has been with college and high school students, but I have worked with elementary and middle school aged students as well.My picture was taken at Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, and in my free time I like exploring Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado by car. I have a water-loving dog, so I try to bring her camping as much as possible. My other major hobby is music: I play guitar and (not very well) piano. I also watch a lot of comedic tv shows, movies, and stand-up.I look forward to working with clients on courses and skills of the Humanities, from basic reading and writing to literary analysis.

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 graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. I am currently applying to medical school, and hope to enroll in the Fall of 2018. As a student at the University of Texas, I was a teaching assistant for the Universitys introduction to Psychology course, and led study sessions for upper-level science courses such as Cell Biology and Neural systems. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, primarily within the sciences and Psychology. I enjoy being able to help others understand difficult concepts that they may encounter in the classroom, and turn confusion into excitement about the content they're learning.Outside of academia, I am a very active person. I enjoy hiking, running, lifting weights, and swimming when I get a chance. In fact, I got a chance to compete at the USA Weightlifting Collegiate National Championships in 2016! I am also interested in cooking and experimenting with different recipes to see what might work and what might not.
