I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Public Health and a minor in History. Prior to that, I received my IB diploma and took 8 AP exams. Over the years, I've supported students as a biostatistics teaching assistant, history supplemental instructor, and peer academic coach. These roles taught me that the most effective learning begins with understanding your own habits and preferences; once we identify what works for you, we can build a strategy that makes even the toughest material more approachable! I specialize in tutoring hard sciences like biology and chemistry, the MCAT, and academic skills like time management and study strategies. I'd love the chance to help you excel in these topics and achieve whatever you're aiming for during your academic journey I love spending time with my family and friends, visiting different coffee shops, cooking and baking, and going on walks with my pup!

I am passionate about helping students feel more confident and successful in their learning. During my undergraduate studies I tutored peers in French.

I love explaining the shades of meaning in words, strengthening students' reading comprehension, and building their writing skills. I believe patience and kindness are key to student success. As a graduate student in a field called Learning Technologies, I am constantly discovering which educational approaches best help students.I am a great tutor because I believe in finding out why students have certain road blocks to learning and crafting an approach that helps them overcome those obstacles. I am patient and I understand the importance of explaining a concept without assuming prior knowledge or making the learner feel patronized.In my free time I enjoy yoga, running, playing with dogs, and checking out design blogs.

I also attended UT-Austin for my undergraduate years, where I majored in psychology, minored in sociology, and received a creative writing certificate. I have worked at the University Writing Center at UT for the past year, where I tutor undergraduates in writing skills. I review papers in all subjects and of all types, including research papers, lab reports, persuasive essays, creative writing, and post-undergraduate school applications. I also worked with Communities in Schools at a Title I elementary school on writing, grammar, reading, and comprehension. Writing and English are my favorite subjects to tutor because I love to see the satisfaction on a student's face when they can finally take all of the puzzle pieces of ideas floating around in their head and put them in a tangible form. Getting those thoughts on paper proves to a student that their words are worth being read and heard.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2016 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with a sub-option of Neurobiology. I started tutoring 2011 while I was still attending high school, mainly for middle-school and high school math. I also have experience working with elementary school-aged children so I am used to breaking down larger concepts into more bite-sized pieces. My current focus is in the natural sciences, particularly in Biology, which most of my undergraduate education focused on. During my time as a college student, I went through many different trial-and-errors for academic success. I found that the most effective way to learn and memorize a large sum of information in a short time was to make the essential connections between the subject matters. I hope to teach in this manner, helping to connect the dots and impart these habits so that my students can continue to be successful in all academic ventures.

Hello! My name is Reigne ("rain") and I am currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a biology major with a focus of going to medical school. I've taken various college courses from psychology to British literature while in high school, so I understand the need to switch to different learning and studying styles with each subject. My personal strengths in subjects include math (algebra 1 & 2), biology, and writing as well. I took a total of 3 college writing courses in high school and also wrote a strong personal statement for my current university, meaning I can help with high school essays, but I can also help guide students to create a strong admissions essay that portrays who the are in a short amount of words. I truly believe that in order to teach, especially with individual students, we as tutors need to listen to the needs as well as adapt to how the students learn.

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.
