Currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, I am pursuing a Psychology B.S. with ambitions to attend medical school to become a surgeon one day. Since elementary school all the way to college, I have always excelled at math, and I have always enjoyed tutoring/helping my classmates with their difficulties. Specifically, I tutor in Trigonometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus AB, Calculus 1, and SAT Math. Every single math-related subject is my favorite honestly because I love being able to dissect a problem and then solve it just like a surgeon. When it comes to math, I believe a student needs to learn and understand every step in solving a problem in order to create a strong foundation for them self. Besides for all these academic information, I personally enjoy playing recreational sports, going out with my friends, and eating tacos.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with concentrations in French and Spanish. As the daughter of an educator, I have always had a personal passion for academic success, and have actively engaged in helping students grow into their potential. I was a volunteer peer tutor as a high school senior, always helped my fellow undergraduate classmates, and tutored members of my church community after graduation. After a corporate career, I worked as a high school math and science teacher with a focus on algebra, PSAT prep, earth science, and chemistry. Many of my students were years below grade level, but I found ways to meet them where they were and teach them in ways they could understand. As a parent, I homeschooled our daughter from pre-kindergarten through second grade and have continued to nurture her curiosity for learning. While an area of study may not be every student's favorite, we can all learn something from every subject that helps form us into the people we are destined to become. I hope all my students--no matter their age--learn that they CAN do hard things! In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, cooking, watching documentaries, singing, and listening to music.

I am currently a freshman majoring in International Relations and Global Studies at University of Texas at Austin and a graduate of Singapore American School.

I attended Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English and minored in Philosophy. I recently completed a Masters in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my background in education by working in higher education counseling settings.

My current position as a Licensed Mental Health Professional (formerly Social Services Specialist) requires me to both perform and support a number of the duties for this clinical teaching role that I believe would make me a unique fit for this position. My passion for advocating for high quality public education, especially for communities that are historically underserved, is equally matched by my professional and personal experience in school social work.community. I have remained connected to academia for the last ten years in many roles. Most recently, I worked with the Office of Admissions as a member of their team to help implement the inaugural reformation ofthe admissions review process at UT-Austin for the incoming freshman class, a process developed to address campus diversity through increasing the equity between the sociocultural and academic lens through which applicant admits are reviewed. I have been an invited guest lecturer at UT-Austin and Texas State for the last three years and continue to provide regularly scheduled professional development in Austin ISD that covers a variety of topics including crisis management, suicide and self-injury risk, multi-tiered systems of support and school ethics. I also have continued my work as a restorative justice advocateand facilitator, stemming from my work with Dr. Armor as a facilitator for the Institute for Restorative Justice, training district administrators all over Texas on the implementation of school-based restorative practice. From working critical incidents and crisis response, to identifying and facilitating professional development needs of faculty and administration, to analyzing academic, behavioral and sociocultural data and designing evidence-based intervention within our district, I have remained committed to action andadvocacy for the exceptional needs that have come with serving as a clinical professional in anenvironment still learning the magnitude and impact of the work that we do. As a clinical faculty member, the practical social work skill set that I have built would easily support learning and growth as our students process their own experiences in field and build bridges across disciplines that intersect with social work. I have had the unique opportunity to connect with many community knowledge I have gained through my own diverse experiences. Additionally, I work to provide an evidence base for social work in the education system through my work as a researcher at the university level, both collecting and analyzing data around complex trauma, educational equity, systems of intervention for sociocultural trauma and the significance of social capital for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

I'm a medical student at UT Southwestern. During my time at UT, I have been very involved in various clubs. I have chaired a case competition and have been the VP of External Affairs for the UT Austin student chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society. I am an active part of Central Texas Model United Nations and have served as either Crisis Director or Crisis Staff in multiple conferences. I also volunteer every Saturday as part of my university's student chapter of Lions Club and am an active member of S.E.E.K, a program that connects students from underprivileged school districts to student engineers to get them excited about STEM and college in general.I tutor for the MCAT and draw instruction from my own experience with the test. I believe that there are best practices for studying for the test that make for more effective and efficient studying. These skills are a must when studying for a 7 and a half hour test that covers two years worth of material . In my spare time I enjoy wandering through forests, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with my friends.

As a tutor, my goal is to provide a customized learning experience that will ultimately help students achieve concept mastery and confidence in their own skills.My experiences as both a student and a teacher have helped me understand that everyone has different learning speeds and processes. However, I have found that a learning experience which places a heavy emphasis on communication, structure, and critical thinking can play a significant role in cognitive development and long term skill retention.In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to reply promptly to any questions they may have about the subjects we cover. But communication is also a two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so that I can best tailor classes to their needs.In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute tasks that are contingent on their subject mastery. Regardless of if you are solving a complex equation or putting together an essay for college, emphasizing a logical and structured approach improves the competency and speed with which you can accomplish your task.Critical thinking is often underemphasized in the traditional classroom environment. When students are taught specific "tricks" to handle certain types of test questions, the significance of the methods they are learning are often lost. I have found that stressing why certain facts and concepts are important not only improves the retention of those ideas, but also gives students more confidence in applying what they have learned.
