I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I majored in Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology as my field of choice. I have always had a great love for history and am currently trying to turn that passion into a career. While studying at UT Austin, I had the opportunity to tutor and work with children as part of a summer program at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. Recently, I have been working for Berkeley2 Academy as a tutor and preparatory class instructor for subjects ranging from SAT and ACT Verbal skills to US AP History.I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels, and I believe that discussion and student interaction is the most crucial part of tutoring. Students should be taught first and foremost that learning is a lifestyle and does not end when the session is over. I try to make learning fun and engaging at all times.

Teaching has been a huge part of me since I was young. I have worked with all types of students, including those with ADHD. I taught emergency preparedness at elementary schools and even got the fire department to give a tour of their fire truck for the kids! I continued to be a teaching assistant in biology during college to help with lectures and review concepts in smaller groups. In my career, I worked a lot in outreach and educating the public about different health conditions and steps they can take to empower themselves. I am excited to meet all the wonderful students to come.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I am working towards my Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Family Sciences with a focus on Early Childhood. In addition, I am pursuing a Minor in Business Foundations and following a Pre-Medicine course track. I have always had a passion for teaching others ever since I was a child and have had previous tutoring experience in high school. This past Summer, I had the opportunity to travel abroad to Italy to study different teaching methods and compare the differences between Italian approaches and American approaches to education. These experiences had led to me believe that teaching styles are detrimental to a student's success in and out of school. I am most passionate about math and sciences, but I am also able to adapt to any subjects that my students may need help in. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching films.

I just graduated from the University of Texas-Austin with a B.A. in Psychology, a Business Foundations Certificate from McCombs, and a minor in German with a GPA of 3.92! I was a straight A student in high school as well, and took all advanced and AP classes. When I was at one of my high schools in Louisiana, the classes were all done online. I managed to finish all of the requirements for high school when I was only 14! Unfortunately, many of my classmates struggled without the presence of a teacher, and I began tutoring them. I tutored students from many different backgrounds in all subjects of high school for over 6 months, and greatly enjoyed it and would like to tutor again.Now, having just graduated with my undergraduate degree, I am looking to begin tutoring as a true mentor, and not as a classmate. I have always excelled in and enjoyed the classroom setting. I scored a 34 composite on my ACT and 2120 on my SAT, and would be happy to help with the challenges of preparing for standardized tests, as well as regular subjects for school. Through the use of your or your child's textbook/test prep materials and problems that I assign for practice, I will make sure that you or your child is fully equipped for success!Both learning and teaching provide me with a great sense of reward, and I am looking forward to tutoring (and learning from) you or your child.

Education has always been a journey of discovery and resilience for me. I earned a bachelor's degree from Texas A&M and then attended UT Southwestern for medical school. I am now a resident physician with an MD and MPH working at a large county hospital. My experience as a tutor has been shaped by both my academic background and my own learning challenges. As a tutor for medical students at my school, I have found fulfillment in breaking down complex subjects like physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology in ways that make them more accessible. Having navigated my own educational path with a diagnosis of ADHD, I understand that learning is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is centered on meeting students where they are and equipping them with strategies tailored to their unique strengths. Whether through active recall, visual learning, or problem-based approaches, my goal is to help students unlock their full potential in a way that feels intuitive and sustainable for THEM.

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.

I wish to carry on the legacy of the many great teachers that equipped my mind to discern greater truth for itself by aiming to pass on my passion and love of learning to as many students as possible.With that said, the greatest reward of my classical education has been not what I have learned but how it made me feel and where that feeling has lead me to a more complete and fulfilling existence.Within the context of the rapidly changing modern world, many lessons of the past are being foolishly forgotten that can serve us genuine good. Among the worst of such losses is, in my opinion, the richness of our connections to each other and to our world at large. However, what is remembered upon reading the classics is that the human mind creates its own posture, for the ancients were as brilliant as us but in different ways. They lived lives with the same fears and ambitions that drive us today and the same capacity for emotion and intelligence.If I can teach students to understand this more fully, I believe they may become better humans within our society and develop a heightened sensitivity to each other that will further their own learning
