Hi! My name is Michaela, and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2025 with a degree in Plan II Honors, a rigorous liberal arts program centered on critical reading, analytical writing, and independent research. I also minored in Economics and Russian language, areas that strengthened my quantitative reasoning as well as my attention to language, structure, and clarity. Through my academic workincluding study abroad and a senior thesis research projectI developed a deep appreciation for careful thinking, clear communication, and the learning process itself. I am especially passionate about helping students refine their writing, strengthen their critical thinking skills, and gain confidence in language acquisition. At present, I volunteer at a local middle school, assisting with the rollout of a Russian language club, which has reinforced my interest in working with students at different levels and meeting them where they are. I believe students succeed best when they are both challenged and supported as individuals. Learning can be difficult and frustrating at times, and I strive to be emotionally attuned, patient, and encouraging while still holding students to high standards. I am committed to making education accessible, engaging, and empowering, and I enjoy helping students build not only academic skills but also confidence in their own abilities.

I myself have accomplished many feats throughout my academic journey. But that would not be possibility without the help of tutors I have worked with. Now that I am older and more accomplished, it is my turn to give back and help those younger than me achieve their academic goals. I am currently an incoming Sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin. I am in the Canfield Business Honors Program! I plan on Majoring in Supply Chain as well as minoring in Management Information Systems and Global Sustainability. I offer tutoring in a variety of AP High School classes that were my personal favorite. My favorite are to tutor is College Counseling and Essay Writing.

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 hope to help others by providing a different or clear way of thinking about what gives them trouble.

I love working with students to find the best way they learn, topics they are passionate about in subjects they struggle with, and expanding my own experience in teaching. Excited for us to learn together!

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.

I attended the University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate studies, where I found my passion for the natural sciences. As I found ways to make the material more comprehensible, I was able to help my classmates and eventually decided to tutor. After spending over two and a half years tutoring in college, I went to medical school at UTMB and started tutoring first-year medical students during my second year. My passion for tutoring comes from seeing the confidence that I can help bring out in the learners I work with as I see them take a previously confusing or challenging topic and make sense of it. I particularly enjoy the natural sciences because of the elegantly consilient way that different subjects intertwine.If you find yourself not quite understanding the material as much as you would like for topics such as biology, chemistry, or physics, I may be able to help you. Furthermore, I also have experience tutoring for the MCAT and would be happy to spend some time discussing what I've learned applying to medical school and residency afterwards. I moved to Chicago for residency training with a dual specialization in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, currently in my third year. And although it's different in some ways from Austin, I love exploring Chicago and finding fun new and fun things to do!

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Texas and a working engineer here in Austin.While a student, I tutored my peers in algebra and calculus, and worked as part of our elementary school outreach program. I really love math and programming, and I found success as an engineer thanks to mentors who helped me understand and enjoy these topics. In my free time, I like to pay it forward by sharing what I've leaned over the years.I'm well equipped to identify how you best enjoy learning, and it's my personal desire to make sure you have a solid understanding of the material at the end of the day. Specifically, my experience includes 5 years of on campus tutoring at the University of Texas.As part of the UTeach mentoring program, I received formal training in different methods of educating (visual, kinesthetic, auditory), and taught engaging after-school lessons to elementary students.

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!

I am currently an attorney in Houston. I went to the University of Texas, Austin (Plan II, Classics, and Sanskrit), and then went to the University of Michigan Law School. I am drawn to tutoring because I felt I had to learn a lot of things the hard way in my career path and would like to make things easier for others! I am passionate about classics and literature as well as law, and look forward to helping students beyond tutoring sessions as they start to build their careers.

I was born in Singapore and grew up in Houston, TX. Having graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I am able to build with them. I believe in teaching my key patterns of thinking; teach them how to fish instead of giving them a fish, as it is said. I am best at Math and Science, and any of the high-school level subjects pertaining to those fields.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a focus on positive psychology. This education, as well as the time I spent teaching children at a local church, revealed to me the important role quality education and a love of learning have in boosting a child’s well-being. As a life-long learner myself, I genuinely enjoy imparting this appreciation for education and watching my students flourish as a result. Perhaps not surprisingly, my favorite subjects to tutor include study skills and test preparation, as the material taught can be more clearly applied across subjects and in other areas of the student’s life. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, traveling, reading about current research in the social sciences, and meditating.

With four years of STEAM teaching and experience tutoring middle and high schoolers, I've learned that tailoring lessons to each student and being consistent is what helps students understand concepts and get results!

"I aim to bring an open mind, a positive fun attitude, to Varsity Tutors each day. I currently work with students on the spectrum as well as with students with learning disorders. I believe that I owe it to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the students as well. My tutoring sessions are fun and engaging. All students will leave each session one step closer to their goal...

I have worked as a teaching assistant since 2015, helping students struggling in class get the extra push they need to succeed. I have also tutored students at my school and volunteered at my local Boys and Girls club. I have tutored students in subjects ranging from Calculus to Chemistry to Language Arts, but I specialize in teaching Math and Science.As a tutor, I love to see students improve themselves, and I strive to create those "aha!" moments when everything begins to make sense. When I teach, I find it is most effective to find out how a student approaches a problem and rationalize it in their mind. Although memorization is necessary at times, it is better to learn how a concept is derived from other ideas to truly make the knowledge your own.

When it comes to tutoring, my philosophy is that learning should be fun, or at least as painless as possible. My background primarily involves helping liberal arts students experience math and science in a way that makes sense to them. In high school, I struggled with math and science classes and believed that I would never be good at them. After a break of several years, I'm currently in the middle of an undergraduate in Applied Mathematics. I was fortunate enough to have a paradigm shift in the way I perceived myself and the world around me and love getting to share the good news with others: people who prefer reading and making music and art can also do great in their other classes, especially when the math and science is presented the right way.In my free time I like to spin, knit, sew and translate Latin and Old English. I also enjoy comparing the folklore of various cultures, writing music and collecting trivia.

Hello! My name is Shravya, and I am currently a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Behavioral and Social Data Sciences on the Psychology track.

I am excited to share effective study methods, make learning more engaging, and help students build a deeper understanding and confidence in the subjects they are learning.

I graduated high school with both my diploma and an associates degree in applied science and I am currently working on my Bachelors degree majoring in neuroscience with a minor in anthropology at University of Texas at Austin. I am also a registered medical assistant working at an urgent care, and on my off time back in Houston I tutor my native language, Tamil. Though I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, and essay writing. I believe education is the basis for a successful future and I can't wait to help all that I can.

Graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a major in Petroleum Engineering and a minor in Business, I am very passionate about translating the knowledge gained in various STEM subjects into enthusiasm by others for learning through facilitated techniques.Throughout my four years in college, I have tutored students in Chemistry, Calculus, Physics, and other math- and science-related courses. In addition, I have also mentored young men in the Boy Scouts of America in obtaining survival skills such as orienteering, camping, lifesaving, and emergency preparedness.Personally, the teaching style that I find most useful is a combination of understanding the students' learning approach through active listening/inquiring and displaying information in an effective manner for memorization and workflow.While tutoring interests me on an academic level, I enjoy playing and watching sports like tennis, football, and basketball. Also, I like venturing the outdoors recently, I have backpacked through Europe and camped on national parks in Wyoming and Texas.My main goal as a tutor is to inspire students to recognize their potential for utilizing straightforward methods to analyze and solve problems. By dissecting problems into its core components similar to those of previously worked problems, one can isolate the necessary information and creatively employ tested strategies to easily arrive to a solution.

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.
