6+ Years Tutoring

I am a second-year graduate student in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work program at the University of Texas at Austin pursing a Masters in Social Work. I also attended UT-Austin for my undergraduate years, where I majored in psychology, minored in sociology, and received a creative writing certificate. I have worked at the University Writing Center at UT for the past year, where I tutor undergraduates in writing skills. I review papers in all subjects and of all types, including research papers, lab reports, persuasive essays, creative writing, and post-undergraduate school applications. I also worked with Communities in Schools at a Title I elementary school on writing, grammar, reading, and comprehension. Writing and English are my favorite subjects to tutor because I love to see the satisfaction on a student's face when they can finally take all of the puzzle pieces of ideas floating around in their head and put them in a tangible form. Getting those thoughts on paper proves to a student that their words are worth being read and heard. My teaching philosophy is taking a collaborative, non-directive, and non-evaluative approach in helping my students cultivate writing skills and confidence that they will have for future writing endeavors. Outside of academia, I love movies, theater, playwriting, basketball, and anything outside!

BA University of Wisconsin-Madison • Doctor of Philosophy, Chemistry The University of Texas at Austin
9+ Years Tutoring

I earned a B.S. in chemistry and mathematics (double major) with honors in the liberal arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. After graduation, I worked for three years at Alcami Corporation, a pharmaceutical company, as a process chemist, working on the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) on a multigram to kilogram scale. In 2019, I started graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am currently a fourth-year graduate student working on the development of new synthetic methodologies. While a PhD student at UT Austin, I have had the privilege of serving as a teaching assistant (TA) for one semester of general chemistry II lecture, four semesters of organic chemistry laboratory, and four semesters of organic chemistry II lecture. Over these nine semesters, I am proud to have earned an average TA ratingbased on student evaluationsof 4.86 out of 5.00.Unfortunately, it seems most students have had a negative experience with their organic chemistry lecture courses. Traditional approaches to teaching organic chemistry involve rote memorization of reactions, reagents, and mechanisms. I think this is both an antiquated and ineffective way of teaching organic chemistry; instead, I believe the more effective way to teach this subject is to focus on how to think about organic chemistry. Organic chemistry provides "tools" that can be leveraged to predict reactivity or the general characteristics of organic molecules. It is also important to recognize that a lot of the chemical transformations proceed by very similar pathways (i.e., "same song, different verse"). If you can learn to use these basic tools and recognize patterns, then you do not need to worry about memorizing anything! This is the exact approach that I try to use while teaching studentsapplying basic concepts/tools to more complicated systems and realizing that it truly is just a different verse of the same song.

BA The University of Texas at Austin • Current Grad Student, Mathematics Boston College
1+ Years Tutoring

A native Texan, I grew up in Houston and attended St. Thomas High School before moving to Austin to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin. I graduated from UT just this May with special departmental honors in math for my 20+ hours of graduate level coursework and senior research thesis. Currently, I am a first year pure math PhD student at Boston College.While at UT I worked for three years as an undergraduate teaching assistant and grader for multiple classes, including calculus (I, II, and III) and discrete math. There are few things more enjoyable than being of service to students trying to learn difficult material and seeing the gears in their heads start to turn as their confidence builds. I truly love studying math, and I work hard to communicate the beauty in math to all of my students.Having studied math at an advanced level for a few years now, I have a privileged insight into the rich structure of mathematics. I have worked in fields that are as difficult compared to calculus as calculus is compared to basic multiplication tables. As a result, I have developed a mastery of material from high school and early college level math, and I have spent the last three years practicing the way I communicate math so that assignments stop seeming like lifeless and disconnected assortments of problems. Math is easier to learn when you see it as something to get excited about.Whether you're struggling with a course, looking to get ahead, or want to review for standardized exams, give me a shout and I'll be happy to help you start working toward your goals!

Hi! I am currently a senior at the University of Texas where I will receive my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I have also been accepted into the Doctor of Medicine Program at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. During high school as well as college, I tutored in a variety of subjects including biology, chemistry, mathematics, and the SAT. I'm very passionate about these subjects because I love to think logically, and I think that learning challenging subjects can be very fun! As for my teaching philosophy, I believe that good practice reaps good results. Instead of constantly repeating information, I like to learn and teach topics through practice problems and walking through each mistake that is made. In my spare time, I like to play video game, play pickup basketball, and weightlifting.

Alex
MS Rice University • BA The University of Texas at Austin
10+ Years Tutoring

My name is Alex and I am a proud and recent graduate of Rice University where I received my Master's in Environmental Science with a heavy focus on Environmental Statistics. Before this I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor's degrees in Geography and Humanities.Having been exposed to an eclectic background of liberal arts and hard science I am comfortable tutoring across a broad range of subjects and encourage students to see the inherent connections between their work and real-world applications.Despite my technical background, I am a person who would much rather contemplate the words in a good book rather than the letters of a differential equation. However, my interest in studying the natural world has caused me to suffer through more math classes than I care to count. As a result, I am well-equipped to help 'math-shy' students understand, appreciate, and flourish in a subject that they may have previously disliked.I believe in forging a relationship between the student and the subject matter with the idea being able to answer the question "when will I ever need to know this?" is the first step to understanding.Currently, I live in Houston with my bride, Nathalie, and our great big black lab, affectionately know as "The Bear". I love being out-of-doors in any capacity and am an avid soccer-player, swimmer, and cyclist.
