Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

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 am a graduate of Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and English Literature in 2014. Since graduation, I have served one year as a K-2 literacy tutor with A Community for Education, and this past year I worked as a kindergarten teacher at IDEA Public Schools. I will be beginning a Masters Program in Education this fall at the University of Texas at Austin with a certification in teaching 7-12th English. My goal as a professional is to unite my love of literature with my passion for social justice to become an inspirational and effective educator of underserved preteen and teenage students. My tutoring style is very positive and encouraging, and centered around teaching my students in a way that makes sense to them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, travel, and cooking.

My Alma mater is the University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with a B.A. in History with Special Honors (with a focus on the American Civil War) and a B.S. in Biology with Honors. I tutored a student in middle school (reading comprehension) and another student in high school (ESL), but most of my experience in tutoring is centered around my time in college as I worked as a tutor at the University of Texas Learning Center. Here, I worked both as a group tutor and as a personal one-on-one tutor for general chemistry and organic chemistry for 3 years. It was during this time that I developed a personal philosophy in teaching - breaking things down to its simplest components and making them relevant to the student. Richard Feynman, a physicist known to have been one of the most brilliant minds in the 20th century, was renowned for explaining extremely abstract and difficult concepts in very simple laymen terms so that average Americans could understand concepts that are described by mathematical equations only a select few could understand. I take much inspiration from examples like this when trying to teach - use everyday things to simplify concepts for students whether it's using sports or fashion or current events or even gossip to help in not just learning but also in remembering the lesson. I've found that helps students make sense of things as well as make it somewhat more entertaining and little bit less painful. I view an education in two different lights - it should be a means to an end in ensuring a better career and, ultimately, a better life as it has for the past generation as our parents used it to climb the social ladder. However, people should also realize that learning for the sake of learning ought to be embraced as it helps you in your journey through life - keeping up with current events or understanding basic economic principles can help individuals navigate through the challenges of finding a job/career that will both sustain you and your family while also make you happy in that career choice.Given my diverse academic background, I'm able to tutor a variety of subjects - algebra, geometry, chemistry, biology, writing, study skills, and Korean (I grew up speaking, reading, and writing at home much like Hispanic Americans use Spanish at home). My favorite subjects to teach are chemistry and algebra because they feel like jigsaw puzzles that at first look very difficult but gradually become easier with time.Outside of work/school, I enjoy reading for leisure, mostly non-fiction (history, medicine, science), but I don't hesitate in picking fiction up after reading a good review (currently, I am finishing the last book in the series A Song of Ice and Fire aka Game of Thrones). I am an avid fan of watching and playing basketball. Of course, I root for the Dallas Mavericks and have been since I started watching the NBA. I also enjoy watching the Texas Longhorns football team. Like many young men, I am also an avid participant of Fantasy Football (I can proudly say that I have won the league championship once in it's constantly competitive 5-year existence). Other hobbies include traveling, running, and obstacle courses (Spartan races are awesome).

Tutoring is my passion. Working one-on-one with students gives them the focus they need to grasp difficult concepts. I appreciate that each student is unique with a specific learning style. Therefore, I tailor my sessions to fit the student's needs. I am very patient, encouraging, and reliable.With over 20 years of tutoring experience, I have consistently helped students raise their grade level and improve their mastery of the subject matter. As a results-oriented tutor, I am reliable and professional. I am organized and arrive at every tutoring session prepared. For each student I tailor my teaching style to match their learning skills. I maintain good communication with the parents of my students and with their teachers when I have been asked to contact their teachers. My passion is education, and I enjoy conveying this enthusiasm to my students in the following areas: Art History and AP Art History; American, World, and European History and AP levels; English, World, and American Literature; English Language Arts; Theology; Government; Social Studies; and French I, II, III, IV and AP level French as well as French conversation and trip planning.

Hello! Thank you for choosing Varsity Tutors. I focus on all sorts of math subjects, from algebra to pre-calculus and SAT math. I was always more of an independent thinker during high school, and I would usually try to solve things myself. However, I struggled a lot when the time for my SAT came around--to the point where I actually ended up needing a tutor myself for the math portion! Nonetheless, I acknowledged the power of tutoring when I ended up surpassing my own expectations for the exam! I wish to spread the benefits of knowledge and confidence in younger students. Thanks again for choosing Varsity Tutors and I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, my name is Neel, and I am a junior at UT Austin. A month out from my test day, I scored a 512 and was able to increase that to a 521 (131/128/132/130) on test day. As someone who just went through this process, I know how scary and anxiety-inducing the MCAT can feel. I don't just want to help students learn the material, I want to help them build confidence and develop the right mindset going into test day. I have over four years of tutoring experience, including working at Mathnasium and tutoring Organic Chemistry.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Biology with a cellular, molecular, and developmental concentration. I grew up in Houston, TX and started tutoring during high school for students struggling with the math and science portions on the TAKS test. I discovered quickly that I really enjoyed working with others and can creatively think of different ways to explain key concepts to make them easier to understand. I continued this passion when I went to Austin for college, working as an undergraduate researcher, mentor, and preceptor for biochemistry. I worked with my professors to organize and conduct weekly study sessions and reviews before exam days. Following graduation, I decided to postpone my plans of going on to medical school to become part of the AVID program. As an AVID tutor, I work work closely with disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 to help them with various subjects such as algebra I/II, geometry, calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology. In my free time, I enjoy checking out new restaurants with friends and trying new recipes with (huge foodie here!). I also enjoy long distance running, kayaking, camping, hiking, road trips, and photography.

I am a dedicated and patient tutor who believes that every student can succeed with the right support and approach. My teaching style focuses on breaking down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps, while building confidence along the way. I have experience helping students strengthen their understanding, improve their study habits, and achieve their academic goals. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, whether that means working through practice problems, using real-world examples, or reviewing foundational skills. My goal is not just to help students get the right answers, but to help them understand why those answers make sense. I strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing academically.

My life experiences to date have taken me across four continents. I was born in India before spending my formative years in Algeria and England, before again traveling westward, to North America, where I expanded my global perspective in French-speaking Montral and multicultural Texas. The longitudes and latitudes that I have traversed in a quarter-century have instilled in me an irrepressible thirst for discovery, while the breadth of my experiences made me confident that I could make a meaningful in my community.I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and will be continuing my studies in International Finance and Economic Policy at Columbia in August. Until then, I am free to tutor/teach in any capacity that I can.

I am currently a pre-med student at the University of Texas at Austin completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health. Although I enjoy teaching other subjects such as math, I am most passionate about teaching science courses since that is what I am currently studying as well. Since I am completing my undergraduate degree, I still remember what it was like to be in high school. I am confident that I will be able to explain concepts in an easy way to understand, as well as give tips on how to succeed and apply to college.

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 also worked in advertising and information technology. As you can see, I love writing and helping others with their writing!

Hi! I am a junior at the University of Texas in Austin studying Health and Society, Spanish, and Disability Studies. I was in a Spanish immersion program most of my life and am basically fluent. I am currently a research assistant in a program studying the developmental outcomes of children and families who have a child who translates between English and Spanish on behalf of their parents in the Austin area.In my freshman year of college, I was a student at Tulane University, where I participated in a program where we tutored local New Orleans middle and high school students in any school subjects they needed, essay writing, and ACT and PSAT prep. I am passionate about figuring out accessible and understandable ways to present information for every student. I want them to be confident in their ability to learn just as much as I want to teach them the information.I am available for ACT, PSAT, Spanish, tutoring, as well as middle school, and some high school math.

I'm a Chemical Engineering major at the University of Texas at Austin with a strong passion for teaching. I enjoy helping students in biology, algebra, and chemistry, focusing on building meaningful relationships that make learning engaging and approachable. Teaching not only strengthens my own understanding but also allows me to see the impact of confidence and curiosity in others. Outside of academics, I love staying active through hiking and playing sports like basketball. I also enjoy exploring new food spots, which gives me a chance to connect with different cultures and experiences.

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 recently graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in geology and a certificate in business Spanish. I am a life-long learner and natural teacher. I come from a family of educators, and I worked as a tutor throughout all of high school and college. I have experience with students of all ages and have most recent teaching experience in math and Spanish. I believe learning should be enjoyable; I am passionate about finding creative and effective ways to learn. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, being outside, and going on walks with my dog.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with concentrations in French and Spanish. As the daughter of an educator, I have always had a personal passion for academic success, and have actively engaged in helping students grow into their potential. I was a volunteer peer tutor as a high school senior, always helped my fellow undergraduate classmates, and tutored members of my church community after graduation. After a corporate career, I worked as a high school math and science teacher with a focus on algebra, PSAT prep, earth science, and chemistry. Many of my students were years below grade level, but I found ways to meet them where they were and teach them in ways they could understand. As a parent, I homeschooled our daughter from pre-kindergarten through second grade and have continued to nurture her curiosity for learning. While an area of study may not be every student's favorite, we can all learn something from every subject that helps form us into the people we are destined to become. I hope all my students--no matter their age--learn that they CAN do hard things! In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, cooking, watching documentaries, singing, and listening to music.

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.

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin. I graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering. It was a tough four and half years of hard work, but I truly learned a lot about myself. Above anything else, I learned to believe in myself. It was through this experience that I realized I wanted to help young minds find power and self-confidence within themselves. Although I am now considered an adult I still fully enjoy watching cartoons and riding my bike. Some of my top favorite cartoons include Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and of course Adventure Time. I also absolutely enjoy the wonders of traveling. Last summer I studied abroad in France without knowing any French! It was an unforgettable and incredibly fun experience. I'd be more than happy to share my travel stories with you!

Reflecting on my educational experiences, I realize what a great impact teachers and mentors can have on students and the difference they can make in their lives. When I was in elementary school, I was struggling with 3rd grade math and science. It was frustrating because no matter how much I tried I just could not solve the problems. At times I felt like giving up. It was then that my aunt introduced me to a private tutor who worked patiently and enthusiastically to help me understand the concepts and find solutions to those hard questions. Within weeks my grades improved and I started loving math and science. In high school I took AP level English, science and math classes which further lead me to major in Biology.I am a certified live and online tutor based in Houston, TX. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's degree in English/Biology/Pre-med after which I decided to pursue a career in medicine. I spent two years in the Caribbean finishing my basic sciences and the remaining two years in the United States (New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Washington, DC) completing my clinical rotations in various hospitals. I graduated with a M.D. degree from the American university of Antigua and will be starting residency training next year. In the couple of years between my Undergraduate and medical schools studies, I worked as a substitute teacher for elementary, middle and high school students. While in medical school, I was a Teaching Assistant for Anatomy and Physiology. Therefore, I have experience working with students of all age groups. I really enjoy teaching and my passion and enthusiasm for it will make a good tutor.

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 currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. My goal in helping students is to help them understand the processes behind math/science concepts and techniques, rather than just aid in finding an answer. After all, mathematics is the numerical explanation of the universe (and science can be seen as applied math), and giving life and meaning to abstract concepts will do more than just earn a student a better grade. It will help them develop problem-solving skills they will need throughout their academic careers. This is why I find math (and other engineering-related fields such as physics and programming) so enjoyable; all of these subjects boil down to developing creative problem-solving skills. Even if a student isn't pursuing a STEM-related field, they can utilize these skills and apply them to other areas.Outside of my academics, I enjoy rocketry, playing the French horn, listening to classical music, and building/fixing computers, namely.

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 love teaching people how to do what they want to do. I love unleashing them, equipping them, and removing obstacles from their path. If you want to learn to write creatively, I'm a published expert in the craft of writing fiction. If you want to write anything at all, you need to know Microsoft Word, another area of expertise. I also love teaching people how to use the powerful tools available in the realm of artificial intelligence.

I have previous experience tutoring 5th grade students in math, science, and reading comprehension, in preparation for the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), which was a previous standardized test in the state of Texas. My students at that time consistently gave me feedback that they understood concepts that they were previously struggling with, after having a tutoring session with me.My educational background consists of completing a master's degree in clinical medical sciences (physician assistant studies) and completing a bachelor of arts degree in biology. I previously worked as a physician assistant for almost 2.5 years in the specialties of primary care and oncology, and truly enjoyed taking care of patients. I consider myself to be hardworking, patient, friendly, and great with children. I was born and raised in Houston, TX and love to spend my free time with my family and friends, volunteering, and studying spirituality.
