Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering. I'm fairly new to formal tutoring but I've been helping my five children with their homework for the last 18 years. I consider math and science my favorite subjects, with physics being one of my most favorite. When I'm coaching a student, I believe in a very tailored approach which encourages and strengthens the knowledge and skills that a student has and then adds the information that is needed to succeed. Rote memorization is not my strong suit, I believe in really understanding the underlying organizing principles. In my other job I design houses, and when I'm not doing that I love to read, and hike and do some woodworking now and then.

Three decades programming for a living. The last two decades included instructing employees on technical and task specific skills. Mathematics is the bedrock of programming and I often apply math to determine what I assumed to be true just wasn't so.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, I have a solid understanding of Math and Physics. I also have a patient personality, a quality that has served well in my efforts as a tutor. I find that the key to teaching a challenging subject is identifying areas of difficulty, and explaining the underlying concepts in simple language so that the student can develop a solid foundation. I am motivated by a desire to see results and I feel very satisfied when I can help someone understand a subject they thought was difficult.Even though I find the sciences interesting, I also enjoy hobbies such as drawing, painting and reading.

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 believe that everyone deserves to be helped to the best of their abilities. I struggled in school, and thanks to the help of a strong community they helped me succeed. I'd like to be part of that community for any person.

I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Ever since I was young, I have always been interested in the lives of children--always believing that there was a spark in each and every child, no matter their circumstances or struggles. I've tutored many of my peers in many subjects over the years, but my favorites have always been mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. My philosophy towards teaching is that the student should be learning, not be being taught. A teacher is a guide, and does not teach what to think, but how to think. I always aim to make sure my students completely understand the subjects we are discussing, rather than merely understanding how to apply formulae and equations. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, running, and the odd hike through the woods.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelor of Ars degree in Computer Science. Since graduation, I have been working in the IT industry for more than 20 years as a Programmer Analyst/administrator. I worked for large and mid-sized companies like Verizon, and Mercer, and Aflac. I am passionate about teaching about the Salesforce System to help students become Salesforce Administrators.

My extensive skills, education and experience afford me the pleasure of passing on my knowledge to others.

I got my Bachelor's Degree at the University of Texas -- Austin in Comparative Religions with a focus on history and philosophy & a minor in LGBTQIA+ Studies. I have tutored middle school and college-aged students in history, music, essay writing, and more. I tutor in World Religions, History, Writing, ACT Reading/Writing, and more. My favorite part of tutoring is watching the moment my student understands and wants to learn more!

I am a third year Mathematics Major in The University Of Texas at Austin. I ran a free prep class for the AP Calculus AB and the AP Calculus BC test in my public library in New Jersey. I ran the class for two years and enjoyed teaching my students the essentials needed for these two tests. As the head teacher I had a lot of responsibilities such as making mock tests, making sure every student understood all the content, Organizing each class day every week, and getting assistant teachers to help me out for free. I know that I am a good teacher because every student I ever taught either received a 4 or a 5 on either test.

I am a graduate of Dartmouth College with a BA in History and a minor in Education. I have been an educator for 30 years, both in the classroom and in administration, specifically in Business Management and Admissions/Enrollment. I have my MBA from the University of Texas at Austin. I love working with students of all ages! I am patient, kind, and warm, and can help ease a student's anxiety about math (at levels up to Algebra II) and writing. I am especially skilled at helping students understand how to craft essays for both school assignments and for college applications. I love the written word - grammar, spelling, punctuation, creative writing, and syntax. I also love the rules and clarity of math, and enjoy sharing that with my students. I believe that all children want to learn and succeed, and there are many different paths to a child's understanding of a difficult topic. In my free time, I enjoy walking my Bernese Mountain Dog, Kaiser, playing the piano, knitting, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and reading.

Life is like music. With proper technique and daily practice there's nothing you can't do.My favorite thing about science and math is the ability to solve a problem in radically different ways to achieve the same result. There's some way to make sense of it all for everyone! My goal is to find out what makes sense for you!

I am freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Biology on the pre-health track. I've always been passionate about helping others, especially when it comes to learning and academic growth. During high school, I took on leadership roles, including serving as a club president, which helped me develop strong communication and mentoring skills. For two years, I volunteered as a teacher assistant at a Korean school, where I supported students in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Korean. This experience deepened my love for education and the rewarding process of guiding students toward understanding. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I'm especially excited to support students in sciences, mathematics, and Korean language learning. I enjoy breaking down complex topics into simple, relatable steps and sharing tips that make learning more approachable. My tutoring style is encouraging, adaptable, and focused on building both skills and confidence. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed with the right support and the right mindset.

I am very passionate about math and science. I have been a tutor at a local math tutoring chain for the last two years and I have been tutoring people for nearly my entire life. I am a very hard and dedicated worker! I am currently double majoring in math and physics at the university of Texas at Austin.

I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. I have a background in both Mathematics and other Natural Science fields and am both willing and comfortable teaching either of these subjects. Furthermore, I have studied and taken the SAT and MCAT, and would be happy to help others who want to take these tests.My prior teaching experience includes mentoring in both group and one-on-one settings. While most of my teaching has been done with my students of similar age, I would be comfortable with younger students as well, having been an older sibling for most of my life. From personal experience from the point of view of both a teacher and a student, learning is not always a straightforward process. Teaching plans should be compatible with individual students, taking into account their goals, needs, and learning styles. For example, I personally like to incorporate secondary lines of reasoning. When learning words, I look at roots, when learning theorems, I study proofs, and when learning mechanisms, I examine comparable systems. In addition, I am a rather visual learner, and favor illustrations such as graphs, tables, and diagrams as learning tools.Besides working as a tutor, I enjoy watching and playing sports, especially football, basketball, and soccer. I enjoy cooking and would like to improve both the quality of food I produce and the repertoire of dishes I can make. I have interests in other subjects, such as geography, history, and architecture. Various other hobbies include watching TV shows, walking around, listening to music, and playing video games.

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 am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and can teach PreK-6th grade as well as ESL classes. I have experience working with PreK-5th grades students. It is my passion to help students succeed and achieve their best through individualizing lessons and making learning hands-on/fun!

I really enjoy working with others and providing people with more resources to become academically successful. Throughout this pandemic, I have seen the consequences of not being able to seek help in person such as feeling overwhelmed and not knowing who to reach out to. Therefore, I want to extend my help virtually to make up for the lack of face-to-face interactions.I am currently a second-year biochemistry major at the University of Texas at Austin, and I am also a pre-medical student. Due to my passions in STEM and the natural sciences, I feel very confident in tutoring areas in Math and Science. I am very enthusiastic when I tutor and love to reassure others of their efforts.

I believe all students can learn. I am passionate about working with students and empowering them to do their best while enjoying learning. I believe in interactive and fast paced lessons. I will meet the student at their learning level and work with them to rapidly increase their reading and writing levels. I have both education and psychology degrees from the University of Texas at Austin. While teaching with with Dallas Independent School District, I became a Legacy Master Reading Teacher. At my home campus, I was tasked with training other teachers on my campus how to teach remedial reading and writing. I am well versed in proven strategies for helping students with learning disabilities and/or life challenges to increase their reading and writing skills with targeted instruction. My goal is to create lifelong learners who love to learn, read, and write. I will quickly determine student interests, strengths, and growth areas and use that knowledge to create interactive and meaningful lessons that will engage the learner and use every moment of the lesson to increase success.

I am a PhD student in Educational Policy, with a Master's degree in Quantitative Methods, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I have 3 years of experience tutoring psychology statistics, and 2 years of experience as a Graduate TA for research methods. I am to the core a research nerd, and feel excited about completing my PhD and conducting education research to inform policy. While my work in policy is on a larger scale, there is nothing quite like having an impact on students directly. My tutoring philosophy is rooted in empowering students to take control of their learning experience, and to ultimately gain the confidence in themselves to succeed.

Hi, I'm Felipe. I am a 3rd year pre-med college student studying Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I first discovered my passion for teaching a few years ago when I began tutoring ACT and SAT for a tutoring company in my hometown of Frisco. Since then, I have gotten deeply involved with teaching. I have gotten to volunteer for non-profit college organizations at underserved Austin elementary schools to encourage kids to go into STEM, I have gotten to help teach for an introductory biomedical engineering laboratory class at UT, and I have been employed by UT's Engineering Student Services to tutor other students in organic chemistry for well over a year. In that time, I have found that I especially enjoy working with high school and college students. My journey as a student is far from over, so everything I teach is something that I have been right in the middle of learning recently. My favorite subject to tutor is organic chemistry. It is something I've been teaching for a long time, and it's a subject I've gotten to understand well. Other subjects I love to tutor include biology, chemistry, physics, and all math through calculus; my career path has required me to synthesize all these subjects rather well. ACT/SAT test prep is also something I enjoy teaching and is something I have experience with. I have started to offer MCAT tutoring, as it is one of the more rigorous exams I have had success with, and a skill I would love to pass on to other aspiring physicians.

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 love tutoring and helping students! I believe everyone is capable of learning with the right type of instruction. I have had my fair share of disappointments, but with the right kind of help, I have overcome many struggles.I believe learning doesn't happen in a day. But we should struggle to learn a little every day.

As an educator with a Master's in Early Childhood Specialization from Stephen F. Austin State University and over 15 years of classroom experience, I am passionate about nurturing a love for learning in my students. I specialize in elementary school math, ESL/ELL, and phonics, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel empowered to explore and ask questions. My teaching philosophy emphasizes patience and empathy, allowing me to tailor lessons to each child's unique interests and strengths. I believe that learning should be both fun and relevant, and I am dedicated to celebrating each student's achievements, fostering their confidence and curiosity.

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.

Grad student at UHCL in Computer Science.I have a passion for programming and helping other learn to code and the fundamentals of logic needed to think as a programmer.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Plan II Honors along with a minor in Biology. During my years as an undergrad, I served as a peer adviser to help incoming freshmen prepare for college-level classes; an editor for both my university's literary journal and research journal; and a Mandarin Chinese teacher for beginning learners. After graduation, I began tutoring ESL students from China and eventually succeeded in raising their English scores by a full letter grade at the end of the semester. With more than 5 years of mentoring, tutoring, and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialtiesreading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me to both expand my education and aid a greater amount of people. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing; playing the piano, violin, and ukulele; pet-sitting kittens or puppies; and trying adventurous foods.

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!

My name is Maisha and I am a graduate of Biology from UT Austin. I have a passion for learning and sharing this enthusiasm with others. I don't believe that education is restricted to the classroom-learning happens everywhere and throughout our lives. I hope to help students use what they learn to help them succeed outside of the classroom and well into the future. My favorite part about teaching is trying to help students overcome the fear and failure that can sometimes be associated with learning. And the amazing part about tutoring is that it's a two way street: I learn from my students just as much as, if not more than, they learn from me. In addition to my Biology degree, I also hold a UTeach composite science teaching certification obtained from UT's nationally recognized teacher preparation program. I student taught Integrated Physics and Chemistry at McCallum High School and stayed there to teach Aquatic Science and AP Biology for two more months. In my spare time, I like to read, swim, and watch foreign movies.

With a BA from Brown University and an MA from the University of Texas, I am a professional musician and have been teaching and performing for many years.

I am a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin studying Biology, and am hopeful to further my education and become a Doctor of Medicine. I have done research regarding autoimmune disorders, aim to further my laboratory experience by developing diagnostic tests for mosquito-borne pathogens, and volunteer in a hospice center and a food pantry. I want to ensure that everyone, regardless of their situation, has access to the help they deserve when it comes to academics. I understand that people learn in different ways, and I want to ensure that people can learn in their preferred manner.

I am a computer science major at The University of Texas at Austin and have taught a variety of math subjects for more than a year at a private institution.

Hello! My name is Danny Pry and I am a Licensed Professional Mechanical Engineer. I graduated from the University of Texas in December of 2009 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have a strong personal passion for my profession. As a result, this passion extends into math, science, physics, and all areas related to the science of Engineering. I enjoy all of these things, which means I enjoy teaching these things as well. It's important to have a tutor that loves the subject they're teaching, otherwise they won't have the drive to help their students gain an exceptional level of knowledge. I will customize my tutoring approach to each student's individual needs, and I will do whatever it takes to get the student to their desired goals. I'm very excited to have this opportunity to share my knowledge with others and turn frustration into triumph! I am available to tutor persons of all ages.
