Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

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!

Hola!My name is Jared Allen, and I'm a Spanish Tutor with Varsity Tutors. I graduated in May of 2017 from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Spanish and International Relations, focusing primarily on Latin America. My journey to attain Spanish fluency has been extremely rewarding. I could never have imagined how valuable and enriching speaking, writing, and communicating in Spanish has been in my life. I have been tutoring students of all ages and skill levels for the past two years. Whether you're having trouble in Spanish 2 or simply want to improve your conversational skills, I'll tailor my approach to fit YOUR needs, while facilitating a fun, stress-fee learning environment. Spanish can be challenging, but it is so rewarding, which is why I'm so passionate about sharing my knowledge of this language.

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 recently earned my PhD in Science and Technology Studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I studied the politics of environmental remediation at the Hanford Site (where the US made plutonium for weapons until the late 80's). It's a dangerous site. It's also dangerous to ask any graduate student about their dissertation, since we can go on for longer than the half-life of plutonium. Don't say I didn't warn you!I am not only obsessed with things that glow in the dark. I am also fascinated with the social sciences, history, literature, philosophy, and writing. My M.A. is in anthropology, and my B.A. is in Sociology. When I tutor, I work hard to help you figure out why all of these subjects are worthy of your passion and effort.I have taught first-year college students, as well as worked individually with thirteen undergraduates to plan, write, and revise their senior theses. My students have included undergraduate social science students as well as those pursuing engineering, science, and business. I have participated in environmental research programs with high school students, and helped to train student activists in places as different as Pullman, WA and Atlanta, GA.I'm excited to work with you, too!

I am a Biochemistry undergraduate at the University of Texas. In addition to my major, I research molecular and systems biology with a focus in genetic regulation of biological pathways.I am very passionate about science and math and frequently tutor in these subjects. My approach to tutoring these subjects is to allow the student to fully comprehend the logic behind the concepts. In order to do this, I frequently use pictures, diagrams, models, and physical representation of the process at hand. Allowing the student to visualize the process gives them a greater ability to understand problems related to it. This approach is especially useful in science and math because they are subjects describing the phenomena of the physical world! Allowing the student to see the process which they are learning always proves beneficial to overall comprehension.When I'm not working in lab or classes, I love to scuba dive and enjoy some of the great outdoor activities Austin has to offer!

I graduated from UT Austin in 2015 with a B.A. in Economics and Psychology. Through the classes I took, I became interested in learning and motivation. I believe that education is extremely important, but learning should also be fun!My approach to tutoring involves a lot of communication and listening I try to figure out what the student understands and what the student needs help with. I hope to be able to inspire my students and help their academics improve so that they can achieve their goals and dreams.

Let's get electrical! I'm a student at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing electrical engineering. I have experience tutoring for 3 years and am proficient in the field of calculus, differential equations, discrete math, matrices, as well as circuits! I'm always reachable to help you excel in any math-intensive course. I go step-by-step and make sure students can understand proofs to solve problems.

Hi I'm Ali, a pre-medical graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a background in Public Health and Human Ecology. My passion for medicine and science drives my enthusiasm for helping students understand complex concepts and develop confidence in their abilities.

My goal is to inspire curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and help every student reach their academic potential

I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor's Degree in both Human Biology and Psychology. I think it's important to understand that each individual is a different type of learner and therefore it's important to cater to each person's individual learning style. I will try my best to help students grasp concepts in a way that helps them understand the concepts better and will help them succeed. I know it can be hard for students to get individual help in school so I will try my best to help them using the best of my abilities and give them the individual attention that they need. I would make sure I understand the best way each student learns and then do my best to teach them from that point of view.

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.

Hi! I'm Eisha, a Public Health major at the University of Texas at Austin with an interest in medicine and teaching.

In my family, the importance of education has always been stressed. My parents and grandparents instilled a love of learning in me very early in life that has continued throughout my education. I hope to share that love of learning with my students with every tutoring experience. I have both a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Auburn University and a master's chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. My education at both of these institutions provided me with a strong foundation in mathematics and chemistry. I have completed extensive coursework in both those areas.While working on my master's degree, I worked as a teaching assistant, teaching courses and providing extra tutoring help for undergraduate college age and adult students. In addition to teaching at the University of Texas at Austin, I served as a mentor at the local Boys and Girls Club in Austin. TX assisting middle school and high school students in various math and science related subjects. As a tutor, I work to help students to improve their grades and gain confidence in their abilities. Tutoring students is a very rewarding experience for me and through teaching, I hope to inspire students to become the next generation of engineers, scientists, and other professionals.Please contact me for any questions or for more information about the subjects I am available for and for scheduling.

The easiest and most fun way to learn is to do. I love watching students use what they've learned to solve real problems.

Hello students and parents!My name is Ned vanSise and I have been a private academic tutor for over 30 years.I specialize in all subjects at the middle and high school level and most subjects at the undergraduate level. I have tutored 1000s of students over the years and often work with both talented and gifted students and students with learning differences including ADHD and those on the Autism spectrum.My approach is to engender trust and confidence and adjust my approach to the unique learning style and needs of each student. I'm big on active listening and asking lots of questions to determine if the student understands the material and is focused on the material for the next quiz or exam.Please let me know if you have any questions, Ned

I really enjoy tutoring other students because it allows me to really interact with other people. I enjoy calculus, physics, and other types of science. I am going to be studying computer science at the University of Texas at Austin next year. I look forward to meeting you.

I'm an experienced and adaptable online tutor who values clarity, consistency, and results. My teaching approach is built around simplifying complex material, creating structured learning plans, and adjusting my methods to meet individual student needs. Whether I'm preparing students for standardized tests, helping them grasp challenging concepts, or building long-term study habits, my goal is to deliver real improvementnot just temporary fixes. With a strong background in both academic content and digital teaching tools, I ensure every session is focused, engaging, and productive. I take pride in making students feel more confident, more capable, and fully supported in their learning. I enjoy spending time outdoors through activities like hiking and camping, which allow me to reconnect with nature. I'm also passionate about music and make fitness a regular part of my routine through working out.

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 began my career in education as a bilingual classroom teacher in the elementary grades. Later, I became a principal of many schools that had dual language programs because I knew the way in which knowing Spanish had enriched my life and I wanted other students to have that same opportunity. As a teacher, I loved teaching math to my students because it was so fun to get them involved in talking and learning about math. As a principal, I continued to work with students and even took a class period one semester to ensure that the students were successful on Texas' STAAR test. I also am able to tutor in language arts and Spanish. I have traveled extensively in Mexico and recently lived in Mexico for a year and a half. In my free time, I like to take my dog to the beach, do yoga, read, garden, or just enjoy time with friends.

Hi, My name is Bonita Hall and I am currently a Sophomore Physics/Math student at the University of Texas at Austin.

Teaching is my passion. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am a supportive and caring teacher who loves helping students grow and enjoy learning. I am a National Board Certified teacher and have been teaching for 18 years. I have experience working with middle school, high school, and college students. I have taught middle school English and social studies, high school AP English Language and Composition, and college history courses. I have also worked in university writing centers and am skilled at helping students develop their writing skills.In addition, a passion of mine is working with students to help them develop their executive functioning skills. I love helping students develop effective study habits by teaching them about organization, planning out assignments and due dates, and prioritizing.I also scored very high in the social studies and English Praxis tests and am eager to help others successfully pass these tests as well.But whatever I'm teaching, it's the relationship with my students that is key. My students feel safe and appreciated around me; they feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakestwo habits of mind that are crucial to learning.

I have been teaching middle school life sciences for 4 years now and I love it. I got my degree from the University of Texas at Austin from the School of Natural Sciences. My goal is to help any student understand and enjoy science because science is all around us. The connections are there!

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've been teaching French in various settings for the past four years, and I'm currently getting my PhD in French Linguistics. I've taught and tutored all ages and all kinds of students, and I particularly enjoy teaching conversational French to people preparing to travel. I believe language learning is the most fun kind of learning, and I make sure that learning French is an enjoyable experience for my students. A lot of people are intimidated by the challenge of learning a new language, even though they already learned one when they were just a baby! I've seen time and again how when languages are taught properly, learning them goes from intimidating to exciting and fun. If you're feeling challenged by French, I can give you the guidance you need to make faster progress than you thought possible.

I am a recent college graduate with degrees in civil engineering and biomedical engineering. I have always been an avid book reader and math lover - I love to tutor in math, English/ Reading, and physics, and also have experience in test prep.When teaching I believe in keeping things simple and adding interesting tidbits so that students will want to remember the lessons. I also strive to keep each student's best interests in mind and teach accordingly. My students would say that I am very easy to understand and learn from.

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 currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Business and hoping to eventually go to medical school. I was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in Sugar Land, Texas.

In my spare time, I enjoy dancing and volunteering at the local hospital.

Hello, I'm Avi! I'm a recent Econ/Math graduate from UT Austin. Throughout my education, I found learning difficult course material was far less stressful and much more fun when working with peers. This fostered my passion for tutoring, which is why I served as a Math, Econ, & Comp Sci peer tutor at my university for 3 years. My focus is not on memorization but building a working intuition for the subject. I am excited for any new opportunities to help students with their course material!

I am a recent graduate of Arizona State University with a Bachelors of Science and Engineering (BSE) in Chemical Engineering. I was selected as the outstanding graduate for the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and have extensive math, physics, and writing experience. I recently applied and was accepted to many top-ten PhD programs for engineering because of academic merit and personal statement writing skills. I will be attending the University of Texas at Austin in the fall.I have tutoring experience in most math subjects through the National Honors Society and have been a teaching assistant in higher-level engineering courses such as thermodynamics, chemical processing, and lab courses. As a lab teaching assistant I have a high level of experience with technical writing help. I have also been a teaching assistant for a humanities course, The Human Event. This class was focused on analyzing literature and communicating ideas through writing essays.I am a motivated student who loves helping others. I am looking forward to working with students and helping them to succeed.

I studied at the University of Texas at Austin, where I received degrees in Plan II Honors, Neurolinguistics, English and Pre-Med, as well as minors in Chemistry and Biological Sciences. I have tutored professionally for seven years, teaching students from a kindergarten level, all the way up to a graduate student level. I have a strong base in all subjects, but I especially enjoy language tutoring, because I am multilingual. I love teaching Mathematics, Sciences, English, History, Writing...you name it. My philosophy is that the most effective teaching comes from knowing how my student learns, and meeting them where they are. I want to instill a love of learning, but that will not happen if I don't get to know my student.Outside teaching, I write fiction, perform Shakespearean theatre, cook and bake from scratch, design recipes, and add my mezzo soprano to my church chorale on a regular basis.Let's learn together!

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.

Having worked my way up from a small four year college in South Texas to a the top doctoral program in Legal Psychology in the U.S., Psychology and Law at the Graduate Center in NYC, I feel I have a good grasp at what one needs to focus on and train in order to rise the ranks to reach the goals they would like to achieve. That being said, that all starts in the graduate school application. If I can help a student navigate the application process through test-taking tutoring or emotional/social support, I will feel like I have paid it forward to the countless internet services and human beings alike that have helped me get to where I am now. I have a year experience of teaching college students not only the subject matter of Psychology, but the life lessons one learns in college and how to fine-tune skills in order to make them most successful in their individual career endeavors.

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 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.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and a Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Bilingual Education. I have endorsements for Spanish, TESOL/ESL/Bilingual Education, and Literacy/Reading Specialist on my teaching licenses. I have taught Spanish, Humanities, Adult Basic Education, GED, Reading, Grammar, and ELL/ESL. I have taught children and adults and really enjoy watching a person's confidence grow along with their knowledge.

I am currently an attorney in Houston. I went to the University of Texas, Austin (Plan II, Classics, and Sanskrit), and then went to the University of Michigan Law School. I am drawn to tutoring because I felt I had to learn a lot of things the hard way in my career path and would like to make things easier for others! I am passionate about classics and literature as well as law, and look forward to helping students beyond tutoring sessions as they start to build their careers.

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 a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese and a minor in Anthropology. In 2016 I was lucky enough to study abroad in Sapporo, Japan, where my interest in participating in our international community began. I'm currently studying in preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT at the N2 level. While I can help students with any subject, I am most passionate about helping students learn grammar structures and verb conjugation. My teaching philosophy is flexible, and I like to try several teaching methods to find what students respond to the most because all students are individuals and don't learn the same way. Language learning can be frustrating, so I also hope to reassure students that any progress is positive. When I'm not studying or teaching, I enjoy watching movies, skateboarding, and going on bike rides.
