Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I just graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and I am interested in tutoring math here in San Antonio. I have a fundamental understanding of Geometry, Algebra I and II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus I through III. When I attended the University of Texas I tutored middle school and high school students in math and science at the Carver Library in east Austin. Additionally, I have tutored close friends taking College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I really do enjoy teaching and I believe I would be a great help to the students here in San Antonio.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I'm studying International Relations, Spanish, and Conflict Resolution and Peace Studies. My favorite subject to tutor is Spanish because I love the language!My ultimate goal in using this platform is to help other students. Being a student myself, I understand how frustrating it can be to have difficulties with a topic. I'm here to help ease the frustration :)

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and minored in Mathematics. Upon graduating, I moved to Dallas to begin working as a financial professional with Prudential, a career that allows me to combine my love for problem solving and directly interacting with individuals to help improve their lives. I grew up with a mom who teaches middle school math and she instilled a love for both the subject and helping others that has stuck with me to this day. During my time in college I gained experience tutoring both middle and high school math and economics, along with college level calculus. I enjoy getting to help students overcome struggles in their work, and have found that it is often encouragement and direction most needed to help them succeed. I firmly believe that education is necessary for improving the quality of ones life and enjoy getting to help others in a way that will impact the rest of their lives. During my spare time, I enjoy reading on a wide variety of subjects and genres, along with running, spending time outdoors, and watching basketball, baseball, and football.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Education (Special Education; Learning and Behavior Disorders) from The University of Texas. I received my Doctorate in Education from The University of Washington. I have public and private school experience teaching students with learning disabilities and emotional disorders in upper elementary grades and middle school. In addition, I taught 5th grade for two years. I had the opportunity to enter a doctoral program in education at the University of Washington when my family moved to Seattle. I worked as a Teaching and Research Assistant while completing my degree. Upon finishing, I remained at UW for three years to direct a research project in special education and to direct their teacher education program in Behavior Disorders. I taught graduate level courses in two fields, learning disabilities and behavior disorders. Our family made the decision to return to Texas in 1991 when my husband and I both had new job opportunities. I was a Professor of Special Education at TCU in Fort Worth from 1991 until I recently retired. My experiences at TCU included directing the graduate and undergraduate programs in special education. Because students graduating from our program earned dual certification in general and special education, I was heavily involved in teaching college students who were planning to be elementary and middle school teachers. TCU has two laboratory schools, Starpoint School (for elementary students with learning disabilities) and KinderFrogs School, an early intervention program for young children with Down Syndrome and other developmental delays. I was on the Advisory Board for both schools and worked closely with the teachers, assisting as needed. My experiences go beyond the rather bland description of what is written above. I am passionate about teaching children and youth and advocating for their needs. Too often the focus is placed on student deficits rather than student strengths. This leads to a cycle of defeat within the child. Teaching requires meeting student needs. My strength is identifying students' strengths and needs and to teach accordingly. I have over 30 years experience in developing successful learning strategies that assist students in their learning. I am in my 60s and I am still excited about meeting and teaching students. Every student has unique ways of learning. I believe that it is important to establish a strong teaching/learning relationship with each student based on their uniqueness. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I currently live on a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina with my black lab. I volunteer for several local charities and for Meals on Wheels. I love my life!

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 graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Physics degree (Bachelor of Science) in May 2015. I currently live near campus and look forward to tutoring students in the area. I love teaching and helping with math and physics! I also have a strong writing background that comes from independently-publishing a novel, so I am happy to help you with the flow and format of your writing assignments. (I m also a bit of a grammar Nazi.)Interesting things about me: I researched solar cell development in Germany for a summer (ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch), was a quarterfinalist for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (2013), and I collect bookmarks. :)

I received my BA in History, English Literature and Russian Language Studies from the University of Iowa in 2007 and my PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in May of 2015 in Modern European History. I have a strong background in general European history, and have taught a variety of courses at the college level, including, but not limited to, European History, U.S. History to 1865, U.S. History from 1865 to the present, the History of Russia and the Soviet Union and general historical writing courses. As such I have extensive experience working with students both one on one and in lecture settings.As a tutor, I am not only responsible for conveying material, but also for identifying where students struggling. It is my goal that my students engage with texts more completely, develop their own opinions about historical events, and learn to question historical authors and their motivations. I also feel that it is important for all students to develop strong writing skills, no matter what their future holds. This applies not only to history courses, but other subjects as well. The ability to write in a cogent, succinct, and simple manner is applicable across all subjects and disciplines, and more than any other, this is the skill that I hope my students accomplish through working with me as their tutor.As a result of my studies and teaching experience, I have a strong background in American, British, and Russian Literature. In the past five years I have lived abroad in England, Latvia, and Russia, and have extensive experience in the Russian language, which I have studied for 10 years. I also have conversational knowledge of both Latvian and Polish.In my free time I appreciate a good book or film, and enjoy sewing.I find working with students to be not only incredibly fulfilling, but helping students obtain the skills and confidence that is necessary to achieve their goals is truly amazing, and the most motivating factor for me as a teacher and tutor.

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.

With each of my experiences working with children my passion for education has grown. I first came to Austin to work with a Spanish literacy intervention program through Americorps called A Community for Education (ACE). After my service with ACE I taught at a dual language (Spanish-English) school for five years. I taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade in math, reading, writing, and science. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my master's in speech language pathology, which I plan to practice in the schools. I believe the care and attention of teachers for students is integral to the development of a healthy, happy child. I enjoy getting to know the children I work with and watch their personalities and minds develop.

I am a mechanical engineering student at UT Austin and I tutor a wide range of topics including general science, social studies, study skills and organization,and music though I am most passionate about teaching math subjects up to Calculus (AP/High school / College level), Physics (AP/High school/ College level), and Voice Lessons./Vocal Training. I am a firm believer in the power of education and learning and try to impart this to my students as well. Outside of school and work, I enjoy writing for the school fashion magazine, singing, and sketching.

I'm a medical student at UT Southwestern. During my time at UT, I have been very involved in various clubs. I have chaired a case competition and have been the VP of External Affairs for the UT Austin student chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society. I am an active part of Central Texas Model United Nations and have served as either Crisis Director or Crisis Staff in multiple conferences. I also volunteer every Saturday as part of my university's student chapter of Lions Club and am an active member of S.E.E.K, a program that connects students from underprivileged school districts to student engineers to get them excited about STEM and college in general.I tutor for the MCAT and draw instruction from my own experience with the test. I believe that there are best practices for studying for the test that make for more effective and efficient studying. These skills are a must when studying for a 7 and a half hour test that covers two years worth of material . In my spare time I enjoy wandering through forests, trying new restaurants, and hanging out with my friends.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. I am currently applying to medical school, and hope to enroll in the Fall of 2018. As a student at the University of Texas, I was a teaching assistant for the Universitys introduction to Psychology course, and led study sessions for upper-level science courses such as Cell Biology and Neural systems. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, primarily within the sciences and Psychology. I enjoy being able to help others understand difficult concepts that they may encounter in the classroom, and turn confusion into excitement about the content they're learning.Outside of academia, I am a very active person. I enjoy hiking, running, lifting weights, and swimming when I get a chance. In fact, I got a chance to compete at the USA Weightlifting Collegiate National Championships in 2016! I am also interested in cooking and experimenting with different recipes to see what might work and what might not.

I have always enjoyed figuring out novel ways of presenting information so that others can understand the material being presented. I believe that all knowledge can have real-world applicability, so in the classroom I often use a lot of analogies and stories in order to make the information relevant. I also specialize in connecting with all people--regardless of age--on their level, which makes teaching and tutoring a lot of fun for both of us. I am CELTA certified, and have learned the appropriate pedagogical techniques to work one-on-one with people. I applied those skills in France, where I tutored three individuals (two pre-teen sisters and one adult male) in English.

As a dedicated student at the University of Texas at Austin, I am pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with a minor in Business. My passion for helping students comes from experiencing firsthand the impact personalized support can have on academic success. I've gained extensive tutoring experience through various roles, such as my time tutoring with STEMPals, a non-profit I created to help raise money for underpriviliged students. I specialize in tutoring Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics. I believe in fostering a deep understanding of material through interactive and engaging learning environments, utilizing real-world examples and hands-on projects to make concepts relatable. I believe that my experience tutoring and my depth of knowledge would make me the perfect tutor for your needs.

I am passionate about making sure students really understand and can apply what they learn instead of just listening to lectures. I want students to be eager to learn, not be dreaded by it and not stressed/

I am a second year student at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in neuroscience, with minors in computer science and creative writing. I am on the pre-med track, with hopes of working internationally with nonprofits as a doctor. I am involved in tutoring programs such as Students Expanding Austin Literacy and The Education Project, the first of which is in person tutoring and the latter being online instruction. I love working on a wide variety of tutoring subjects, but specifically the sciences and english subjects. I find that it's very important to help students deeply understand questions in a way that works for them best! I believe that learning for learning's sake will help anyone get where they want to go in life.

I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I earned a B.A. in Government and a B.S. in Communication Studies. This fall, I will be returning to my alma mater to pursue a Master of Public Health. Over the course of my undergraduate career, I had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages in language arts, writing, the GRE and study skills. I am very familiar with that overwhelming feeling of anxiety that people can feel when faced with eight empty pages left on an eight page research paper or unsatisfying GRE practice scores. I want students to walk away from a session with the tools they need to tackle an obstacle that previously felt insurmountable, so I take a very hands-on approach to these subjects by actively guiding students through prompts, GRE strategies, and research outlines. I want the student to walk away from each session with a collaboratively created plan of action that will help quell their anxiety and guide their efforts going forward. I take a similar approach to life in my spare time - I love to challenge myself with hobbies like rock climbing, cooking and creative writing. After each successful (or wildly unsuccessful) attempt at something new, I take what I learned and modify my approach to the problem until one day I manage to create something delicious!

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.

I am a recent graduate from UT Austin - one of the top universities in the world. My university program in Electrical and Computer Engineering has provided me with the technical breadth and problem solving skills necessary to help out students in a wide range of STEM subjects. My teaching philosophy focuses heavily on understand why something is true. Moreover, I enhance the concepts I teach using a plethora of real world examples. My technical breadth includes Computer Programming, Advanced Math, Embedded Systems, and Electrical Engineering. Besides Engineering, I have also been an active chess player in the past, with a USCF rating of 2084 (Expert).

I am a current high school Digital Filmmaking and Commercial Photography teacher with over a decade of teaching experience, including at the college level. I have a passion for working with students of all backgrounds, skill sets, and learning styles to reach their full potential. The overwhelming majority of the classes I teach are in visual communications such as digital filmmaking, and commercial photography, and graphic design.

Hi! I'm Arushi, a senior at UT Austin studying Finance, and after graduation I'll be starting a career in Investment Banking in New York. I always loved subjects like math and reading, and over the years, I have had the chance to tutor and support classmates, and I've found it really rewarding to see concepts finally click for someone. I'd love to continue working with students and help make learning easier!

I'm Jay! I'm currently going to college at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in fine arts and I am also in the pre-medical program. Even though I'm not done with college, I have already published papers in the field of epigenetics since my freshmen year of college. Even though I consider myself to have an expertise in languages, I decided to teach areas in the field of natural sciences because those are the subjects that I am most passionate about.I was born in Taiwan; however, even before I learned how to speak, I moved to the States. Hence, my first language was English. In third grade, my parents decided to move back to Taiwan to aid in my education of the Chinese language. Of course, learning Chinese as a second language is as difficult as it sounds. With some hard work and the right learning strategies, I was able to get a good grasp on the language and even winning third place in a national writing competition four years after moving to Taiwan.Although I learned a new language during the time I was in Taiwan, I slowly lost my English speaking, writing, and reading abilities. When I moved back to the States in 9th grade, my English was not fluent enough to be put into a classroom with the other native speakers. I worked hard, and I was able to get out of a two-year ESL (English as a Second Language) program in just a semester.I have tutored students since I was in high school in English, Chinese, mathematics, and most subjects in the area of natural sciences. I don't want to just teach my students the subjects themselves. I want to teach them my strategies and SECRETS to learning quickly and efficiently. I am easy to reach and will provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule a lesson.I can't wait to speak with you soon!

I am currently a sophomore attending the University of Texas at Austin. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Biology and a certificate in Elements of Computing. I have been tutoring since high-school first as a member of National Science Honor Society and later at Mathinasium Carrollton. I have also continued to tutor individually for SAT math during my summers at college. I have experience with students from middle through college and enjoyed helping them succeed.

I first began tutoring and mentoring high school and college students when I was an undergraduate studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas. After working with many students I have found that most fall into one of two categories: there are those that are struggling with their studies and need help to reach satisfactory performance and there are those that are driven and ambitious and want to become top performers and bring their abilities to the next level. I truly believe that with some guidance, effort, desire, and discipline academic success is within reach for all students regardless of skill level. My teaching objective is to create a customized, holistic learning experience for each student that seeks to resolve immediate knowledge deficiencies as well as grow their intellectual capacity. I want my students to learn and benefit not only from my academic knowledge of math and science but also grow and gain from my experiences as a graduate from a top university and as a professional with NASA and a Fortune 500 company. As a dedicated life-long learner I spend a significant amount of my free time reading books and materials on a wide array of topics including science, philosophy, business, economics, and history. I love spending time with my family, traveling, and exercising. I'm passionate about solving problems and I truly enjoy helping people win.

Hi! My name is Josh Sok and I'm excited to be here at Varsity Tutors. I'm currently a student at Texas A&M College of Dentistry and looking forward to working as a dentist in the future. I'm also passionate and experienced in teaching, as I've taught in a summer school classroom setting as well as private tutoring. My hope is for my students to understand the material well and be able to enjoy learning!

I'm a graduate student at UT Austin's LBJ School of Public Affairs, currently pursuing my master's degree in global policy studies. I have a BA in political science from Southwestern University. After graduation, I studied Mandarin Chinese for a year in Taiwan and then went backpacking through China.I can help you learn basic Mandarin Chinese (1 and 2), walk you through your political science studies, or bang out a killer essay. My two biggest priorities as a tutor are to teach you the *practical* skills you need to master your subject, and to give you a learning experience that is both fun and engaging.

Currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, I am pursuing a Psychology B.S. with ambitions to attend medical school to become a surgeon one day. Since elementary school all the way to college, I have always excelled at math, and I have always enjoyed tutoring/helping my classmates with their difficulties. Specifically, I tutor in Trigonometry, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus AB, Calculus 1, and SAT Math. Every single math-related subject is my favorite honestly because I love being able to dissect a problem and then solve it just like a surgeon. When it comes to math, I believe a student needs to learn and understand every step in solving a problem in order to create a strong foundation for them self. Besides for all these academic information, I personally enjoy playing recreational sports, going out with my friends, and eating tacos.

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 didn't even consider going to college initially. I worked at KFC as a senior in high school, I was being offered my own store with a salary of 40K, I wasn't even thinking college was an option. Then one fateful day I met with my guidance counselor and she told me about the top ten percent rule. I was in the top ten percent and had the opportunity to go to any Texas school I wanted. Even after finding that out, I was considering not going. However, once I looked at where I was and where I wanted to be, there was no way going to KFC straight out of high school, was going to open to doors I needed opened to be successful.I applied to multiple schools, but once I got into UT, I was set. I didn't want to go anywhere else. I came in as an Education major, changed to sports medicine, then finally settled on Government. I chose government because of all the exposure to that sort of material at my magnet high school in Dallas. I figured my familiarity with the subject would allow me to get a better GPA, which would help me to go to a better law school. I excelled in government classes, as well as Philosophy courses, which led me to making Philosophy my minor. I was very active on my University campus, and lent myself out as a resource to other students in the event they needed assistance or advice.I finished up undergrad in May 2011, and then immediately went into law school at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Urbana. I studied law generally and had an extended focus on litigation. Litigation is the art of courtroom lawyering. I loved that area of the law because I felt that is where the law was meant to be handled. I have a passion for being able to get people to understand complex information in a short amount of time. You don't have a jury's attention forever, you need to be able to get to the point and be understood on the first go round.I graduated from law school in May 2015. It was a tough process, but I made it. I am now working and saving money so I can be able to register for the bar exam and become a practicing attorney. I am eager to develop my skills in the area of teaching and believe I can have a positive impact on students overall success and general outlook on academia.

I am a Junior at UT Austin studying comp-sci with a passion for teaching people about computer science and other STEM fields! 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 am a University of Texas student pursuing a BSA in Mathematics, I am passionate about being a leader and a mentor, I love working with people! I was an orientation advisor for two summers, where I gave students support and advice when it came to class preparation and registration. This allowed me to pass my knowledge of mathematics classes and the college class experience overall to new students. I also love mathematics because it allows me to do work using a problem-solving approach and develop a great sense of logic. I am really interested in applied mathematics, using math for real-world situations! Subjects I feel very strongly about are discrete mathematics, algebra, linear algebra. My tutoring philosophy is to help students help themselves, as this will boost their motivation and confidence, and to be a friend to them as well as a mentor.Also if for some reason my internet is choppy or crashes in our session early on, I will try to make sure you get refunded!

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.

I'm currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Information Science and Data Science, with a strong passion for helping others learn and succeed. I have experience tutoring students in math, as well as teaching English and science. I'm available to tutor students from elementary through high school in math and English, as well as foundational science for elementary and middle school students. Whether you're working to strengthen core skills, get ahead, or keep up in class, I tailor each session to fit your learning style. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching movies, going shopping, and spending time with my family. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

I am currently a sophomore electrical and computer engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. I helped out as a general subject (math, science, history, etc.) tutor at Health Careers High School in San Antonio while I was a junior and senior as part of National Honor Society. My strong academic subject areas are math, particularly calculus, trigonometry, and algebra; although I do tutor up to all high school levels of math, computer science programming in Java, Python, or C, electrical engineering topics like circuitry or programming, and mechanical physics. I really enjoy helping other people out because my motto is "ancora imparo," or "I am always learning." So if I can always learn something, I wish to help others learn and do better as well. My hobbies include exercise, sports, and playing video games, basically anything that engages the body or mind!

Hi, I am a University of Texas at Austin Master in Professional Accounting graduate who has tutored at every level of my education career. From helping fellow students in high school with math to assisting graduate students with accounting as a TA, I understand the impact a good tutor can have not only on the bottom line grade but on overall confidence in a subject. Studying for the CPA exam (and scoring FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) puts me in a unique position to break complicated accounting subjects into their most basic components. Most of all I am genuinely passionate about helping others succeed!

My life motto is, "You learn something new everyday." I am a graduate from UT Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. I have tutored students in math, science, and college admissions exams for 4 years. While I tutored, I fell in love with sharing my knowledge and seeing students achieve success in their courses. I became a certified 7-12 grade Science teacher and had the pleasure to educate high school students in Biology and Environmental Science. I focus on meeting a student where they are, scaffolding to student independence in learning, and bringing the information in their optimal learning style: Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic.

I am a junior studying neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin on a pre-medicine track.I want to share all the tips, strategy, and help that I've learned from my experiences in school to any student that is looking to succeed in their academics!I mainly tutor sciences, including biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and neural systems, but I also tutor for the SAT and ACT as well as the Math I and II subject tests.I want to understand your position and concerns to best help you find the easiest path towards excelling in your classes. If you want someone that give you the motivation to succeed while making tutoring an engaging time, then I'm the tutor for you!

I have spent my professional career in engineering, working in such varied domains as systems engineering, electro-optics, and flash memory. A PhD in physics from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master's degree in optical sciences from the University of Arizona prepared me well for this field.Outside of my professional career, I have always had a passion for education. While in college and graduate school, I taught courses in algebra and laboratory physics. After I graduated, I continued in education with outreach activities. I went to middle schools and high schools with fun hands-on demos and mentored clubs like the Rocket Team, which built and entered a rocket in a national competition. I am currently a tutor in Austin ISD schools.My goal is not just education, but making math and science fun and accessible to everyone.

I was born and raised in Mexico, and I have lived in the US since I was 18. I graduated with a BA in history and a minor in Arabic from BYU in 2009. I later went back and took about 15 credits of undergraduate math and statistics. In 2012 I graduated with a Master's of Public Affairs and Applied Statistics from the University of Texas at Austin.My Spanish upbringing has opened some doors to help Spanish learners. During my undergraduate years, I taught Spanish to pay for school. I would tutor students who wanted a down to earth explanation of a Spanish grammatical concept or who simply wanted to practice conversation. I later became an approved court interpreter in Utah and worked on a few arraignments and one trial.I currently work during for a research company writing statistical programs to analyze data. The way I put it is: "I run regressions for a living." I like statistics and I like intuitive interpretations of economic and statistical concepts. I have tutored high school and college students taking their probability, hypothesis testing, regression, and econometric classes. At UT Austin, I took more than 18 credits of graduate statistics and RA'd for an economist there.I love helping people understand concepts. I feed of the faces of students when they get it.
