I also lived and taught in Colombia for two years, returning to Texas three years ago, in October 2020. For the 2023-2024 school year, I've most recently been a 2nd/3rd grade bilingual teacher at a local district, where I teach Math in Spanish and Science in English. I studied abroad in Spain during my time at UT Austin. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, and my minor was in Biology. I also was pre-med, and completed all of the prerequisites for medical school before changing my mind and deciding to become a teacher.Teaching is my passion! I have taught Middle School Math (5th, 6th, and 7th grade), and all subjects and grade levels in Elementary School Bilingual Education: Math, Science, Writing, Spanish Language Arts & Reading, and Social Studies, from preschool through fourth grade; High School Spanish; adult ESL adult exam prep.I also have taught private Spanish classes to homeschoolers, English to adult ELLs, and private piano lessons.

Current Undergrad Student, Biochemistry The University of Texas at Austin
10+ Years Tutoring

I am currently a sophomore majoring in Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Austin. Throughout high school, I challenged myself by taking all the Biology and Chemistry courses available. Similarly, in college, I have continued to study and acquire knowledge about subjects such as Biology and Chemistry.I have learned the art of teaching through various unique experiences such as on job training, explaining concepts to peers in a classroom setting, and teaching others dance routines. As a student myself, I know how beneficial it can be when other students and peers explain challenging topics or add on to what teachers and professors teach as it provides a new perspective on the information. This is something I hope to bring forth to other students. I also hope to create an environment in which students feel safe to ask any potential questions they may have!

Passion! Zest for life! Love of cheese! These are three qualities that I hold dearly. I hope to bring that passion and high-energy quality to the students who I guide in their journey of learning (unless you have a dairy allergy - I am sorry, but will not force my beliefs upon you). I am a certified teacher in the state of Texas for Social Studies and English, grades 7-12. I just completed a student teaching internship in Lake Travis ISD, where I taught Pre-AP Texas and U.S. History. I received a Bachelor of Arts in History and Italian from The University of Texas at Austin, where I also devoted much of my energy to studying French and English. I studied abroad with the Rome Study Program in 2013, where I delved into Italian language, art, history and of course, food! While pursuing two degrees, I was in the leadership of the Creative Arts & Theatre Organization within the UT Austin Student Unions, There, I not only performed in nearly twenty shows, but also seized the opportunity to direct, compose, and play piano in an original full-scale musical! My involvement in theatrical leadership has developed into my love of teaching, the career I am currently pursuing today. As an educator, my belief is that all students should be pushed to their highest potential in a way that caters to their already expansive list of gifts and talents. The intensity of which I care for my student's success entails that I provide a dynamic, vibrant, and encouraging energy for my students, especially in the fields of college admissions essays, SAT/ACT prep, and AP test prep. I will work with you to ensure you feel prepared, confident, and able to tackle the challenges of your environment - your "stage", per se - and emerge with skills that are translatable to college and even life! And a love of cheese. I wrote my college admissions essay about the life-changing power of goat cheese and was accepted into every single university (including such names as UT Austin, The University of Chicago, Brown University, and NYU) that I applied to. Give me the opportunity to challenge you, and I will help you find your voice and your success as well!

I currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, working towards my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Computer Engineering. While in high school, I worked as a tutor for several maths and science courses such as physics, algebra, calculus and maths to students of all ages and levels. I enjoy teaching these subjects because there are many ways to approach problems in these subjects and both me and the student get to exercise creative in the way we tackle the problem. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, camping, going to the gym, and spending time with friends at coffee shops.

Nathaniel
BA The University of Texas at Austin
10+ Years Tutoring

Hey there! My name is Nathaniel, and I graduated from UT Austin in 2016 with degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology. I've had over 8 years of tutoring experience in different areas, primarily in mathematics and the natural sciences. I began tutoring my mom's friend's children in algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry while still in middle school. This is the point at which I realized the reward in helping others learn, inciting my passion for tutoring. I went on to continue assisting classmates in high school, ultimately tutoring around a dozen different students while in college. In fact, I even served as a teaching assistant my junior year, helping grade assignments.In my free time, I like to play sports, lift weights, and volunteer. I ultimately plan on attending medical school, aiming for admission in 2018. I'm open to many different physician specialties, but have found psychiatry, neurosurgery, and orthopedics the most interesting so far. Other fun facts about me are that I've been skydiving 25 times (certified), biked from Austin, Texas to Anchorage Alaska to raise money and awareness for cancer research as part of the UT organization Texas 4000, and worked at a haunted house this past October.My teaching approach is different from others in that I do not wish to instruct students as if they were in a class, but by putting it in terms that would resonate most with them. Thus, I strive to not only further your children's insight in a given subject area, but to also allow them to actually appreciate different subjects and how they relate to the world around them. I look forward to working with your child, and will hopefully hear from you soon!

BA The University of Texas at Austin

My Alma mater is the University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with a B.A. in History with Special Honors (with a focus on the American Civil War) and a B.S. in Biology with Honors. I tutored a student in middle school (reading comprehension) and another student in high school (ESL), but most of my experience in tutoring is centered around my time in college as I worked as a tutor at the University of Texas Learning Center. Here, I worked both as a group tutor and as a personal one-on-one tutor for general chemistry and organic chemistry for 3 years. It was during this time that I developed a personal philosophy in teaching - breaking things down to its simplest components and making them relevant to the student. Richard Feynman, a physicist known to have been one of the most brilliant minds in the 20th century, was renowned for explaining extremely abstract and difficult concepts in very simple laymen terms so that average Americans could understand concepts that are described by mathematical equations only a select few could understand. I take much inspiration from examples like this when trying to teach - use everyday things to simplify concepts for students whether it's using sports or fashion or current events or even gossip to help in not just learning but also in remembering the lesson. I've found that helps students make sense of things as well as make it somewhat more entertaining and little bit less painful. I view an education in two different lights - it should be a means to an end in ensuring a better career and, ultimately, a better life as it has for the past generation as our parents used it to climb the social ladder. However, people should also realize that learning for the sake of learning ought to be embraced as it helps you in your journey through life - keeping up with current events or understanding basic economic principles can help individuals navigate through the challenges of finding a job/career that will both sustain you and your family while also make you happy in that career choice.Given my diverse academic background, I'm able to tutor a variety of subjects - algebra, geometry, chemistry, biology, writing, study skills, and Korean (I grew up speaking, reading, and writing at home much like Hispanic Americans use Spanish at home). My favorite subjects to teach are chemistry and algebra because they feel like jigsaw puzzles that at first look very difficult but gradually become easier with time.Outside of work/school, I enjoy reading for leisure, mostly non-fiction (history, medicine, science), but I don't hesitate in picking fiction up after reading a good review (currently, I am finishing the last book in the series A Song of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones). I am an avid fan of watching and playing basketball. Of course, I root for the Dallas Mavericks and have been since I started watching the NBA. I also enjoy watching the Texas Longhorns football team. Like many young men, I am also an avid participant of Fantasy Football (I can proudly say that I have won the league championship once in it's constantly competitive 5-year existence). Other hobbies include traveling, running, and obstacle courses (Spartan races are awesome).
