Engage the student; instill confidence; explain why the skill is useful(aside from the obvious); get to the core of the problem; try to make it fun.My entire career has been devoted to "knowledge transfer" and much of that has been in the field of education. After receiving a B.A. from the University of Texas in English Literature, and an M.A. from Rutgers University in Comparative Literature, I worked in the corporate world as a writer and trainer.Most recently I have had the opportunity to teach at the university, high school, and middle school levels. I have tutored privately and I have participated in after-school educational programs. In addition, I have worked with children as a Director for school and summer theater programs.My favorite subjects to tutor are reading and writing. The ability to communicate (and reading is receiving communication) is one of the most important skills we can have. As I told the budding scientists in my writing classes at F.I.T., "your ability to communicate well will determine whether you are working in the lab or running the lab."

My life motto is, "You learn something new everyday." I am a graduate from UT Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. I have tutored students in math, science, and college admissions exams for 4 years. While I tutored, I fell in love with sharing my knowledge and seeing students achieve success in their courses. I became a certified 7-12 grade Science teacher and had the pleasure to educate high school students in Biology and Environmental Science. I focus on meeting a student where they are, scaffolding to student independence in learning, and bringing the information in their optimal learning style: Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic.

I am currently attending the University of Texas at Austin, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Infectious diseases. My goal is to help people better understand basic biology and perhaps attend medical school in the near future.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and can teach PreK-6th grade as well as ESL classes. I have experience working with PreK-5th grades students. It is my passion to help students succeed and achieve their best through individualizing lessons and making learning hands-on/fun!

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.

My dad always shares a story with me from when I was 5 years old. We were riding in the car and I was describing the scenery along the drive with such vivid vocabulary. He was so shocked to hear those type of words come out of such a young child's mouth. That always makes me smile and the more I think about it, it doesn't surprise me at all. That story was a hint of the type of person I was to become.I love language. Language allows us to fully express ourselves and meaningfully connect with other people and cultures. I also love teaching and encouraging others. English language + writing and Spanish were two of my favorite courses in school. I excelled in AP English courses and essay writing. I went up to AP Spanish V (the highest level) and it was my favorite class.It's my pleasure to be a Varsity Tutor and help students develop their skills and ability in those areas, whether it be for personal or professional purposes!

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis where I double majored in Biology and Anthropology. I caught the teaching bug while studying abroad in rural southern India, during which time I taught a computer literacy class to high school students. After college I became a state-certified science educator and spent two years as a Teach For America corps member, teaching high school Biology and SAT/ACT prep in San Antonio, Texas.Despite the extraordinary socioeconomic barriers to academic success that students faced in my school, I was able to lead them to substantial academic gains. My students – many of whom had not passed science in 8th grade – passed their STAAR Biology EOC exam at one of the highest rates in the entire school district. I attribute this outcome not only to my engaging teaching style, but also my patience and willingness to work alongside students until they truly reach mastery of every concept. I also persuaded my principal to adopt the SAT/ACT preparation elective that I taught to sophomores and juniors, because of my personal commitment to ensuring that bright and capable students in my school received the preparation necessary to achieve their post-secondary goals.Currently, I am pursuing dual Master's degrees from the University of Texas in Public Health and Social Work. As a born-and-raised Austinite, my interests include practicing yoga, sampling local food trailers, attending live concerts, and – perhaps most of all – cheering on my beloved Texas Longhorns in football.

I graduated from UT Austin in 2015 with a B.A. in Economics and Psychology. Through the classes I took, I became interested in learning and motivation. I believe that education is extremely important, but learning should also be fun!My approach to tutoring involves a lot of communication and listening I try to figure out what the student understands and what the student needs help with. I hope to be able to inspire my students and help their academics improve so that they can achieve their goals and dreams.

Teaching is my passion. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am a supportive and caring teacher who loves helping students grow and enjoy learning. I am a National Board Certified teacher and have been teaching for 18 years. I have experience working with middle school, high school, and college students. I have taught middle school English and social studies, high school AP English Language and Composition, and college history courses. I have also worked in university writing centers and am skilled at helping students develop their writing skills.In addition, a passion of mine is working with students to help them develop their executive functioning skills. I love helping students develop effective study habits by teaching them about organization, planning out assignments and due dates, and prioritizing.I also scored very high in the social studies and English Praxis tests and am eager to help others successfully pass these tests as well.But whatever I'm teaching, it's the relationship with my students that is key. My students feel safe and appreciated around me; they feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakestwo habits of mind that are crucial to learning.

I have been tutoring students for the past 4 years through in-person centers like Kumon and Gideon, as well as through virtual platforms. Academically, I am currently studying Business at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. I specialize in elementary reading and math as well as standardized preparation, and I approach each tutoring session with one goal: to create a space where students feel supported, encouraged, and capable of succeeding. I tailor every lesson to the student in front of me, whether that means breaking down complex concepts, using interactive learning strategies, or simply helping them believe in their own potential. What drives me most is seeing the transformation that happens when a student realizes they can do something they once thought was impossible. Personalized learning doesn't just improve scores; it changes mindsets towards learning. That's the impact I hope I am able to make with every student.

Hi, I am a University of Texas at Austin Master in Professional Accounting graduate who has tutored at every level of my education career. From helping fellow students in high school with math to assisting graduate students with accounting as a TA, I understand the impact a good tutor can have not only on the bottom line grade but on overall confidence in a subject. Studying for the CPA exam (and scoring FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) puts me in a unique position to break complicated accounting subjects into their most basic components. Most of all I am genuinely passionate about helping others succeed!

Additionally, as a member of both Chinese Honor Society and French Honor Society, I have tutored high school and middle school students in both languages. While I mainly tutor French and Chinese, Im also interested in tutoring for AP Capstone (AP Seminar and AP Research). For my AP Research paper, I studied linguistic relativity, which is the idea that language affects thought. Whether it be tutoring languages or research, I believe that it is most important to have the students goal in mind. In my free time, I like to draw and run.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's of Science and Arts in Neuroscience. When it comes to standardized testing, studying for class tests, and other academic work, I used to struggle a lot when I was a student. I started taking a different approach to learning. When it came to math, I would do my best to find the simplest method to find the answer rather than studying a difficult method. I would then develop healthier study habits for my classes and would ace them while prioritizing sleep. As a former student myself, I know how difficult school can be. That is why I want to share my tips and strategies to those who seem to struggle so that they can come out on top. My history tutoring high school students, middle schoolers, and even college underclassmen has given me the experience to properly educate and help those going through academic, standardized testing, and even student life struggles. As a tutor, I will teach students the best way to tackle difficult questions in their respective subjects, studying habits that promote physical and mental wellbeing, and core concepts that are fundamental to solving questions both standardized tests and academic coursework. I have a passion to provide SAT/ACT tutoring, math, science, and even MCAT tutoring. I also like to get to know my student's personal and professional goals, so I can personalize my tutoring approach to each of them.

I am currently working towards my bachelors in Finance and Mathematics as well as a minor in Computer Science as well. Ever since I was a child, I've always had a deep passion for math and anything analytical. I challenged myself throughout high school by taking the most challenging STEM classes and consistently performed well in them. Due to this, oftentimes I saw myself tutoring my classmates and helping them with their assignments. That is when I realized the only thing I loved more than learning was teaching.I absolutely love helping my students achieve their goals and seeing their eyes light up as they succeed. I pursued my passion for tutoring at my local library by teaching both middle school and high school students in all math classes ranging from Algebra 1 all the way to AP Statistics. I did so for three years and also have experience in online tutoring(in mainly the same subjects).I have consistently performed well in Math classes throughout my schooling career. I have scored perfect scores on all AP Math exams offered in high school and near-perfect scores on both the ACT and SAT Math sections(1 point off in each). The fondness and ability I have in math is something that I believe definitely makes me stand out from other teachers. Combining this skill with my tutoring experience and fondness for helping others has helped me become a tutor that guarantees to provide results for their students.I absolutely love helping the people around me and am very easy to reach out to when needed. I always provide fast responses so feel free to contact me at any time for any additional questions or to schedule a lesson. Looking forward to hear from you guys!

Empowering Students in STEM and Test Prep | UT Austin Biomedical Engineering & Pre-Med Hi there! My name is Bilal, and I am currently a junior at the University of Texas at Austin studying Biomedical Engineering on the pre-med track. I know firsthand that upper-level math, science, and high-stakes standardized tests can feel completely overwhelming. But having navigated those same challenges myself, scoring a 34 superscore on the ACT, a 1460 on the SAT, and earning 5s on several AP exams, I have mastered the study strategies required to succeed, and I am passionate about passing those tools on to my students. Over the past few years, I have gained extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, as well as mentoring my peers in collegiate engineering and pre-health honor societies. My Teaching Philosophy I believe that anyone can master difficult subjects if they truly understand the "why" behind the material. My approach goes far beyond rote memorization. Instead, I focus on: Real-World Analogies: I connect abstract STEM concepts to everyday life so they are easy to visualize and understand. Active Recall & Spaced Repetition: I teach the exact evidence-based study methods I use in my own rigorous pre-med courses to ensure long-term retention. Building Confidence: I break complex problems down into logical, bite-sized steps, helping students rebuild their academic confidence through small, consistent wins. Subjects I Tutor I specialize in middle school, high school, and early-college level courses, including: Test Prep: Comprehensive SAT and ACT prep (all sections) Math: Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus Science: Chemistry and Physics There is absolutely no better feeling than seeing a student's face light up when a tough topic finally clicks, or hearing that they confidently crushed an exam we worked on together. Whether you are aiming for a top-percentile test score or just trying to master a difficult chemistry class, I would love the opportunity to help you reach your goals.

I enjoy working with students, and have been fortunate to do so many places, including England, France, and California. Finding that the lessons I most remember in life are the ones I discover for myself, I try to guide a student to their own discoveries with questions instead of statements. Not surprisingly, writing is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also have an affinity for math. I think balance is important in life and math's straightforward, organized nature can be therapeutic to the creative mind. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, working on my novel, and playing with my dog, Quito, from Ecuador.
