I earned a Bachelor of Science in Applied Learning and Development from The University of Texas and a Master in Education Administration from Dallas Baptist University. While I have just recently retired from a 28-year career in education, I am still passionate about helping students achieve their personal best. I believe that all students can learn; They just may not be able to master concepts on the same day and in the same way as their peers. As a tutor, I get the distinct privilege of figuring out what is causing the student to struggle and support the child in overcoming the challenge. My goal is for the student to not only master content but to learn effective strategies that can be employed in new learning situations as well as build the self-confidence needed to be an independent learner.

My current position as a Licensed Mental Health Professional (formerly Social Services Specialist) requires me to both perform and support a number of the duties for this clinical teaching role that I believe would make me a unique fit for this position. My passion for advocating for high quality public education, especially for communities that are historically underserved, is equally matched by my professional and personal experience in school social work.community. I have remained connected to academia for the last ten years in many roles. Most recently, I worked with the Office of Admissions as a member of their team to help implement the inaugural reformation ofthe admissions review process at UT-Austin for the incoming freshman class, a process developed to address campus diversity through increasing the equity between the sociocultural and academic lens through which applicant admits are reviewed. I have been an invited guest lecturer at UT-Austin and Texas State for the last three years and continue to provide regularly scheduled professional development in Austin ISD that covers a variety of topics including crisis management, suicide and self-injury risk, multi-tiered systems of support and school ethics. I also have continued my work as a restorative justice advocateand facilitator, stemming from my work with Dr. Armor as a facilitator for the Institute for Restorative Justice, training district administrators all over Texas on the implementation of school-based restorative practice. From working critical incidents and crisis response, to identifying and facilitating professional development needs of faculty and administration, to analyzing academic, behavioral and sociocultural data and designing evidence-based intervention within our district, I have remained committed to action andadvocacy for the exceptional needs that have come with serving as a clinical professional in anenvironment still learning the magnitude and impact of the work that we do. As a clinical faculty member, the practical social work skill set that I have built would easily support learning and growth as our students process their own experiences in field and build bridges across disciplines that intersect with social work. I have had the unique opportunity to connect with many community knowledge I have gained through my own diverse experiences. Additionally, I work to provide an evidence base for social work in the education system through my work as a researcher at the university level, both collecting and analyzing data around complex trauma, educational equity, systems of intervention for sociocultural trauma and the significance of social capital for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

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 have a Bachelors in Computer Science from India and a Masters in Technology Commercialization from UT Austin. I am good at teaching GMAT Quantitative and have helped a number of students earn higher scores on this platform. I have also taught primary school children in India before as part of an NGO and helped my near and dear ones succeed in school and college with my guidance.My philosophy is "Learning can be fun" and there is always a new thing or two that one can learn in every day of his/her life in every little thing that he/she might encounter. I look forward to interacting actively and maybe learning a bit from you too. Education is bliss!

I completed MBA in CyberSecurity in 2018. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Computer Science in May 2014. I am a software engineer during the day and love everything having to do with math, science, and computer science. My reason for wanting to become a tutor outside of my day job is to help educate the minds of the future. Learning outside of the classroom is very important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many ages and learning levels. I started tutoring in high school with one student and, by word of mouth, received more students. I was a tutor in college for math and computer science. I look forward to working with each student and prepare lessons based on each students individual needs. Please allow me to be a part of your educational experience!

I am a rising sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin. I am studying for a Bachelor of Science and Arts in chemistry with a minor in educational psychology and sociology. Previously, I was a student worker at a childcare center for kids 6 weeks (infants) to 5 years old (pre-school) to spur on their imagination and creativity. Throughout my high school years, I assisted fellow classmates and underclassmen when they had trouble on coursework. Because I recently graduated from high school, I understand the importance of AP exams to one's future. Even though most students aim to get a high score, I help students get into the mindset of learning for the sake of learning. Since most of the material shows up again in college, a student's future success is highly dependent on this 'mastery learning' mindset. I am passionate to tutor students over Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics while gaining an insight to their way of thinking and aid them in surpassing any obstacle. A college education may not be the only path to a successful life, but I believe that it is a guaranteed way for one to be able to look back on their early years and realize that all the hard work was worth it.

I help students develop a metacognitive reflective lens for current and lifelong study. I constantly ask students to ask themselves: What am I doing well? And how can I keep doing that? I believe a strengths-based approach is best for learning. I am a board certified art and early childhood-6th grade ESL classroom teacher.

I have taken and tutored Intro to Programming and Data Structures & Algorithms several times. I have also taken and tutored physics, chemistry and Calculus 1-3. While my favorite subject is computer science, I enjoy all science and math-related courses and have experience tutoring most of them.

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.

Speech language pathology has been my life's work. It is a personal and professional passion to see others reach their maximum potential.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology as my field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career. While studying at UT Austin, I had the opportunity to tutor and work with children as part of a summer program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Recently, I have been working for Berkeley2 Academy as a tutor and preparatory class instructor for subjects ranging from SAT and ACT Verbal skills to US AP History.I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels, and I believe that discussion and student interaction is the most crucial part of tutoring. Students should be taught first and foremost that learning is a lifestyle and does not end when the session is over. I try to make learning fun and engaging at all times.

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.

I know what it's like to feel inadequate in the classroom. I grew up in a high-performing school district where many of my peers were able to excel without putting forth any effort. Meanwhile, I was spending countless hours reading, drilling flash cards, and reworking problems without receiving the same results. School just never came naturally for me, and I often felt incompetent, unmotivated and embarrassed to ask for help. Thankfully, I had wonderful teachers, mentors, and tutors along the way that helped me master the strategies and techniques that worked best for my studies and inspired me to love learning. I became increasingly confident throughout the years, eventually earning a spot at my dream college and currently pursuing a career that I'm truly passionate about.I now wish to pay it forward and be a positive influence for the students that are frustrated in school. Based on my own experiences, I recognize how important it is to form a relationship with the student to where they are comfortable with seeking assistance and communicating their feelings and frustrations with me. Once a rapport is established, I'm able to identify the students' disconnects and convey the confusing concept or strategy in a new and understandable way. My goal is to help students develop a love of learning, and I seek to achieve that by inspiring motivation and confidence both inside and outside of the classroom.

I'm a writer and editor with a passion for learning that I love to share -- I've been told my tag line should be "let's find out!" I'm a native Austinite, but I lived in New York while I got my Bachelor's in Comparative Literature and minored in Linguistics. After I graduated I moved back home to Austin and got my Masters in Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT. Now I'm in Fort Worth, with an MBA I picked up along the way (also from UT Austin) -- apparently I can't stay out of school for long.As the oldest of three kids, I've been teaching informally for as long as I can remember. I've also volunteered with Austin Partners in Education, working with middle school kids on reading and writing. I love to explore the world with others and help those around me discover an enthusiasm for learning that can make life so rewarding. I look forward to working with you and seeing what we can find out!

I have spent numerous summers counseling children from ages 7-16 (both male and female) and am extremely comfortable talking to and relating to this age group. I am a great tutor because I use analogy, mnemonics, and memorization tricks. I find the easiest way to reach an understanding that will "stick" in a student's brain is in terms of something they are already passionate about.

I attended Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English and minored in Philosophy. I recently completed a Masters in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my background in education by working in higher education counseling settings.

My courses are writing intensive and promote critical thinking, reading, and analytical skills. I stress to my students the importance of developing strong written and oral communication skills, as well as applicable skill sets that will translate in the professional world. I began my tutoring career in high school as a peer-to-peer volunteer tutor. I tutored first generation students and students from historically marginalized communities with the federal TRIO program as an undergraduate at UW. In D.C. I tutored second language learners looking to improve their English skills. Most recently, I worked with student athletes through the athletics department at UT. I tutor a variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences, but my favorite sessions include those in which I help students with their writing assignments, as I truly enjoy seeing the tangible progress they make during our time together. I consider one of my specialties as an educator to be my ability to meet students where they're at in their learning process. I believe very strongly in the importance of education and equal access for all. I share this enthusiasm for learning with my students through positive energy, reinforcement, and encouragement. While I believe learning should be fun, my teaching style is firm, but fair. I have high expectations of my students and will do everything in my power to help them realize their full potential in achieving their educational goals. When I have downtime, I enjoy growing green things in my garden. I played competitive golf for a decade through college, so a friendly round is always a welcome relaxation. I also enjoy the beach, tennis, rock climbing, and discovering new fiction writers.

I am a international relations and global business graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. As the eldest daughter of hardworking immigrant parents, I grew up supporting my younger siblings with their English homework and school projects. From an early age, I saw firsthand how language can either be a barrier or a bridge and I've made it my mission to help others experience the latter. Today, I tutor K12 students in English, reading, and writing, as well as language learners in Spanish, Japanese, and English as a Second Language (ESL). I've also spent two years teaching English in Japan and served as Head Coach and Co-Director of a middle school speech and debate academy, where I taught public speaking and competitive debate. Whether you're a young student building literacy skills or an adult navigating a new language, I create a learning space that is safe, encouraging, and tailored to your natural rhythm. I believe true growth happens when students feel comfortable and seen. That's when learning becomes not just effective but empowering.

Teaching, writing, and languages are my passion. Few moments compare to when a great instructor and a great student come together and accomplish their objectives. My goal as a Varsity Tutor is to help you accomplish yours.

I believe that all students can learn and that my calling is to help others connect new knowledge and learning to their existing schema of understanding through positively encouraging their consistent effort over time. Mistakes are part of the learning process and should only be seen as opportunities to improve upon our understanding of any given topic or subject.

I have lived in Texas all my life. I’ve moved from Houston to Austin and back again. I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I pursued a degree in sound engineering and recording technology with an emphasis in Pre-Med and Pre-Law. I plan on attending an institution where I can achieve a medical doctorate simultaneously with a degree in jurisdictional prudence.Five years at the UT has taught me how to take in complicated information, process it and teach it to fellow students. In a more professional atmosphere, I have helped students achieve their academic goals through tutoring on a high school level.That being said, there is a certain thrill that I have when I see someone comprehend a subject that was previously foreign to them. I have seen the look regarding subjects from an elementary level to a collegiate level. Regardless of what subject I am working with someone on, I will strive to make sure the student understands.Personally, I have an easily approachable personality. I’m friendly and easy for students and parents to get to know and trust. It’s difficult to teach someone unless there is a foundation of trust between the two parties and my disposition makes it easy to achieve that relationship.I have many hobbies. Primarily I love to practice my violin. I have been playing since I was two years old. My parents put a stick in one hand and a cardboard box in the other till I could handle the real thing. Other hobbies include fencing, reading, swimming and skiing.

Learning is one of my biggest values in life and it is important to me that everyone has the opportunity to appreciate and value learning as well.

Current AP Chemistry teacher at KIPP Memphis Collegiate High and graduate of the University of Texas in Austin with a B.S.A in Nutritional Sciences and Business.I find education extremely important, and always look forward to one on one tutoring sessions with my current students. I believe that students deserve a great education in order to grow into great intellectuals for college and future careers.I enjoy talking to students and getting to know my students and where they come from. I want to learn their learning styles in order for me to accommodate to their needs. I scaffold my lessons from the basics to more complex ideas, so they are able to understand material better.

As a tutor, I not only ensure my students make the grade, I nurture their academic self-esteem and innate intellectual curiosity. I do this by focusing on what my students know before turning to what they do not know. I take the time to understand and mentor my student’s particular gifts, using their individual strengths to conquer their individual academic challenges and become confident, creative, lifetime learners. By encouraging questions and providing hands-on interactive lessons which consist of substantial modeling (“see one”), guided practice (“do one”), and checking for understanding (“teach one”), I ensure my students understand the “why” rather than merely memorize the “that.”I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University of Texas at Austin as a Doctoral Candidate, where I also earned my M.A. in Philosophy. At the University of Southern California, I earned my B.A. with Departmental Honors along with the Discovery Scholar’s award for excellence in independent research. I have been tutoring and teaching for eleven years, with a primary emphasis on developing my students’ writing and critical thinking skills.In Renaissance Man fashion, I pursue well-roundedness. I let my imagination run free by playing World of Warcraft, watching Star Trek, and reading fantasy novels like The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. I support my physical health by practicing yoga, camping, and experimenting in the kitchen with healthy, delicious, recipes. I soothe my soul by spending time with my family and friends, singing in my church’s choir and curling up with my husband and four cats to enjoy a relaxing evening at home.

I recently completed a Masters in Education Policy from the University of Illinois. I was fortunate to be able to accomplish this fully online while living abroad in Milan, Italy for my husband’s job. We have recently moved back to the DFW area and I am eager to get back into the education sector. Before moving, I taught high school Social Studies for four years. My family instilled in me a love for history at a young age, and now I enjoy passing on this passion to my students. I love finding ways to make history come alive and to make it more interesting than just a bunch of names and dates. There are so many intriguing stories and dramas from the past, and many ways to relate past events to our current lives. It is my desire to engage my students with the interesting background stories of historical figures and discuss the decisions they made and the events they influenced. In the state of Texas, I am certified to teach History, Geography, Government and Economics and feel confident that I can help your student succeed in these subjects. I also have an extensive background in writing, and can help your student improve their writing skills, especially for the writing portions of AP tests. I graduated from the University of Texas with a B.A. in History and Government, as well as earning my teaching certificate. I am eager to once again help students to learn and love Social Studies, especially after all of my travels in Europe and experiences with new cultures over the past two and a half years. I look forward to meeting you and your student!*Photo is of me standing in a WWI trench on the border of Italy and Switzerland!
