I began tutoring as a sophomore in high school, helping younger students in the neighborhood. I have tutored Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. I also was a PAL for elementary and middle school students, meaning I would travel to their schools and take them out of class to help them with the subjects they struggled with.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing basketball and soccer with my friends, reading, writing, and watching sports. I will begin college this fall at The University of Texas at Austin, with a major in Biology. I plan to continue on to medical school, and ultimately become a doctor.

I am a Chemical Engineering graduate from The University of Texas at Austin. Since graduation in December 2015, I have spent several months preparing for a successfully completing the Fundamentals of Engineering (Chemical) exam, which now allows me to hold my Engineer in Training (EIT) certification. I have also spent the months following graduation finishing my 4 year commitment as a volunteer YoungLife leader, which is a Christian mentorship organization geared towards high school students. I am thankful for these past few years around high school students in the many settings we've had because it has allowed me to connect and relate to them better. I am very passionate about making a difference in peoples lives, especially high school students because after high school is when bigger life decisions are made in which I hope to contribute a positive influence. I believe the subjects that I can best contribute to a student are a broad range of math and science, due to the nature of my degree and interest. I will be especially helpful in Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus subjects. In my free time, I like to be outside, go fishing, hiking, exercise, play Ultimate Frisbee, and take a seasonal snowboarding trip. But sometimes I just need that occasional lazy Saturday of books and movies.

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 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!

I was a straight A student in high school as well, and took all advanced and AP classes. When I was at one of my high schools in Louisiana, the classes were all done online. I managed to finish all of the requirements for high school when I was only 14! Unfortunately, many of my classmates struggled without the presence of a teacher, and I began tutoring them. I tutored students from many different backgrounds in all subjects of high school for over 6 months, and greatly enjoyed it and would like to tutor again.Now, having just graduated with my undergraduate degree, I am looking to begin tutoring as a true mentor, and not as a classmate. I have always excelled in and enjoyed the classroom setting. I scored a 34 composite on my ACT and 2120 on my SAT, and would be happy to help with the challenges of preparing for standardized tests, as well as regular subjects for school. Through the use of your or your child's textbook/test prep materials and problems that I assign for practice, I will make sure that you or your child is fully equipped for success!Both learning and teaching provide me with a great sense of reward, and I am looking forward to tutoring (and learning from) you or your child.

Hello, my name is Miguel. Thank you for browsing my profile. I hope to inspire confidence in whatever subject matter we approach together, boosting student confidence in academic areas and beyond.My teaching philosophy is to use extensive questioning to help students forge their own pathway. Naturally, questions from students are encouraged and valued during all of my sessions. I emphasize a strategy based approach to studying, and keep an updated list of strategies that my students are finding helpful. I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others.The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones that have benefited me throughout my educational career. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and won third place overall in Academic Decathlon state competition my senior year. My academic performance allowed me to attend both Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin, the latter at which I earned a 3.7 GPA, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in English.As for pertinent work experience prior to Varsity Tutoring, I have tutored middle school aged children in English for a year as a part of the PAIR program and helped graduate students from foreign countries practice their conversational English.Please feel invited to contact me and/or ask me your questions.
