Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

A life-long mathematics educator and learner who thrives in an atmosphere of academic collaboration, investigation, discovery and enlightenment.

I am currently a 3rd year student at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Spanish Language and Microbiology. I started tutoring in math and science about 4 years ago at my local library, which gave me the privilege of working with diverse groups of students from various backgrounds and age groups. While I offer tutoring in various subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Spanish. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping students grasp challenging concepts. Each subject presents its own set of unique challenges, and I find great satisfaction in assisting my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, drinking a nice cup of coffee, and trying new food!

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 am a former middle school math teacher turned stay at home mom. With my previous students and my own children, my favorite part about teaching is seeing a student's confidence boost as they gain understanding. With a desire to keep the lessons engaging, I hope to make learning fun!I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Marketing. From there, I became a 7th and 8th grade math teacher in Fort Worth. Then, I moved back to Austin to teach in 7th grade math in Del Valle ISD for 7 more years. I taught until I had my first child in 2010. Now that I am a mother of 3, I understand that connecting with a child first is very important. This connection helps maintain trust and keeps students motivated.Outside of teaching, I enjoy working out, traveling, trying new foods, reading, and going on adventures with my kids. My background is in teaching math but I also love teaching reading especially to younger children.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, I have a solid understanding of Math and Physics. I also have a patient personality, a quality that has served well in my efforts as a tutor. I find that the key to teaching a challenging subject is identifying areas of difficulty, and explaining the underlying concepts in simple language so that the student can develop a solid foundation. I am motivated by a desire to see results and I feel very satisfied when I can help someone understand a subject they thought was difficult.Even though I find the sciences interesting, I also enjoy hobbies such as drawing, painting and reading.

Hello! I am a college senior at Columbia University studying Political Science with a focus on quantitative methods (regression, applied econometrics, experimental methods). My teaching experience in the past has included SAT/ACT prep, essay revision, mathematics tutoring, and specific SAT Subject Test tutoring. Now that I've almost finished my time as a college student, I would be happy to walk other students through ways to read an academic text, study methods, and specific college coursework questions. I am a previous teacher through Americorps in their summer program for future first gen college students. I look forward to getting to know you!

I got my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and I have solid background in science majors, especially math and physics. I've been working as a math and physics tutor for four years in undergrad as well as grad school, so I know exactly where students struggle and am very eager to help. I also worked as a teaching assistant for Fluid Mechanics. I watch football, soccer, and LOL in my spare time.

More than twenty years ago, the year I was born, my father underwent a coronary artery bypass graft procedure and almost died due to unforeseen complications. My mother would tell me how lucky I was to have even met him. He has a twenty-five year history of poorly controlled diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and throughout my childhood I witnessed firsthand the suffering that these comorbidities caused himand in effect, our family. I accompanied my father numerous times to the emergency department and doctor appointments then, and continue to do so. I called 911 and then rode along with him in ambulances as he complained of severe chest pain and dyspnea. Witnessing my dad being brought out on stretchers countless times made me feel helpless but motivated to investigate the intricacies of his diseases. In medical school, my curiosity for understanding these disease processes only grew as I learned about the complex interplay between comorbid pathologies. As an internal medicine resident, I will further dedicate my career to the physiology, treatment and management of patients suffering from these distressing, and often overlooked illnesses.During my internal medicine core and sub-internship, we dealt with patients with multiple comorbidities and non-communicable, chronic disease. For example, there was a fifty five year old African American man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension and, chronic renal failure on hemodialysis who presented with shortness of breath and bilateral leg edema. I noticed the patient guarding the upper right side of his abdomen; I performed a complete physical exam on him, but focused on that. He had upper right quadrant tenderness on palpation, which I reported to my attending. I suggested that it could be congestive hepatopathy due to right-sided heart failure along with his bilateral leg edema, and that we should order an echocardiogram to evaluate his heart further. This showed that his ejection fraction had reduced significantly from his prior records to less than 35%. From speaking to the patient further, I gathered he had been skipping his furosemide dose because of increased urination, which he had not admitted to until now. As a team, we formulated a plan that involved patient education, optimizing his medication, and the placement of an AICD. I felt a sense of gratification, knowing my thorough physical exam, detailed history and, education on AICD usage helped improve this patient's management and quality of life. Experiencing how the interactions between these disease processes manifested in this patient ensures that me that there will always be more to learn. I experienced also, how important interactions with specialists such as endocrine, cardiology, pulmonology and nephology were, as they added depth to management to the patient. For me, he was a patient who typified my experience in internal medicine.In addition, I find internal medicine to be a very emotionally rewarding field, because of the moments of comfort a physician can provide, in critical moments. I recall, for example the hospital course of a sixty-year-old Caucasian female patient with cervical cancer and metastasis to the brain. She was refusing to eat and had no family to support her during this time. The attending, residents and nurses all had tried to convince her to eat but had little success. I imagined myself in her shoes and started to empathize some of the feelings she must have been experiencing. I sat by her bed, just to keep her company. After two hours, she eventually opened up to me and confessed that she was scared she was going to die and had given up on life. I began to spoon feed her banana pudding and I still remember her smile to this very day. Though I will have different availabilities with regard to time, as a resident, I know that I will strive to create the emotional space for such connections with patients in residency and afterwards.With the knowledge and experience I gain from your residency program, one day I hope to become a hospitalist and then pursue a fellowship in cardiology or endocrinology, so I may provide this specialized care that patients in urban areas so desperately need. I plan to take an active role in research during residency, specifically in cardiovascular health, and find a program that supports such endeavors with state of the art facilities. I also am interested in program with protected didactic time so that I may continue to advance my knowledge and develop my clinical skills in a structured manner. Having rotated at an urban hospital New York, I look forward to working in a similarly culturally diverse environment to provide the finest patient centered care, and learn the most from cases, while also serving an underserved, and marginalized population. It is with this vision I hope to be a great addition to your residency program and be given an opportunity to manage complicated patients, where once I was merely watching diseases progress in my father.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and a minor in Business. Throughout my undergraduate career, I developed a strong foundation in applied mathematics, physics, coding, and engineering systems, and I've enjoyed translating that knowledge into tutoring experiences. I've worked as a coding instructor, teaching students of all ages the basics of programming logic and Python. I've also helped peers with subjects like calculus, physics, MATLAB, and engineering design. While I tutor a wide range of STEM subjects, my favorite areas are calculus, physics, and SAT Math because they combine logic, speed, and strategy. I help students build confidence and accuracy on standardized tests by breaking down question patterns, reviewing key math concepts, and practicing time-saving techniques. My teaching style is straightforward, friendly, and adaptiveI meet students where they are and build from there. Outside of tutoring, I love to travel, play sports, and follow any space explorations developments.

I'm an entering freshman at the University of Texas at Austin to study Computer Science. I''m here to help students grow and prepare for standardized tests like the ACT, AP exams and help out with STEM in general.

I enjoy working with people in an intellectually stimulating setting. I have gained the most satisfaction from tutoring not by pushing people beyond their perceived limits. I can simultaneously make people see the justification behind my passion for the sciences and encourage them to open their minds to it. My students actively sought out my help, and I wanted to live up to my role as an authority in my field.I like to set an agenda for each student in our sessions in order to create a structure in which they could relax and organize their thoughts. I spent the first two to three minutes listening to them talk about their day and their interests and hobbies to connect with them as a person and find out what learning style might fit them best. For example, I notice that visual learners would pay attention to my hand movements and verbal learners sometimes write down everything that I say. I then review laws and concepts that are fundamental to understanding chemistry and frequently relate them to popular topics such as sports, weather, and family.I plan let the students dictate the pace for the last half hour of each session. I ask a few questions to confirm that they understand what we are going over, but for the most part, my hope is for them to propose and answer their own questions. I know that every student has the scientific skills to recognize a pattern, relate the concept to something they know, and use logic, and a successful session entails that the student feels the same way.

I take a great deal of pride in my dedication to teaching and mentoring. I have a strong and consistent record of supporting student engagement with course material both inside and outside the classroom. My current teaching and advising commitments build upon a wealth of international teaching experience developed at previous postings at St. Edward's University, the University of Texas, the University of Cambridge, the Aga Khan University in London, Judson High School in Converse, Texas, and The Khabele School (come Headwaters School) in Austin. Through each of these formative, professional engagements I have amassed a strong background of effective instructional techniques leading students to comment favourably on my energy and erudition in the classroom. Likewise, colleagues have praised my positive influence upon the student body. I am a passionate and dedicated teacher with demonstrated productive capabilities, and a strong motivation for student engagement and support. I am committed to the provision of rich, globally-focused instruction to culturally and economically diverse student populations.

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!

As a recent graduate with a Bachelor's in Public Health from The University of Texas at Austin, I am deeply passionate about tutoring subjects such as biology, chemistry, and English. My experience includes over two years of tutoring, where I have honed a student-centered approach that emphasizes active listening and collaboration. I believe in making complex concepts engaging and relatable, whether learning the intricacies of genetics in biology or guiding a student in crafting a persuasive essay. My teaching philosophy centers on tailoring lesson plans to meet individual learning styles, ensuring that students not only grasp the material but also develop confidence in their abilities. Beyond academics, my background as a ballet teacher and swim coach has equipped me with the skills to connect with learners of all ages. I am eager to inspire a love for learning and help students reach their academic aspirations.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S.A in Computer Science, a B.A. in African and African Diaspora Studies, and a minor in Information Studies (Human Computer Interaction concentration). I currently work as a software engineer. I am passionate about education and helping people learn. I had several wonderful tutors on the Varsity Tutors platform, and I am excited to pay it forward and help other students realize their academic potential.

Hey there! My name is Nathaniel, and I graduated from UT Austin in 2016 with degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology. I've had over 8 years of tutoring experience in different areas, primarily in mathematics and the natural sciences. I began tutoring my mom's friend's children in algebra 1, algebra 2, and geometry while still in middle school. This is the point at which I realized the reward in helping others learn, inciting my passion for tutoring. I went on to continue assisting classmates in high school, ultimately tutoring around a dozen different students while in college. In fact, I even served as a teaching assistant my junior year, helping grade assignments.In my free time, I like to play sports, lift weights, and volunteer. I ultimately plan on attending medical school, aiming for admission in 2018. I'm open to many different physician specialties, but have found psychiatry, neurosurgery, and orthopedics the most interesting so far. Other fun facts about me are that I've been skydiving 25 times (certified), biked from Austin, Texas to Anchorage Alaska to raise money and awareness for cancer research as part of the UT organization Texas 4000, and worked at a haunted house this past October.My teaching approach is different from others in that I do not wish to instruct students as if they were in a class, but by putting it in terms that would resonate most with them. Thus, I strive to not only further your children's insight in a given subject area, but to also allow them to actually appreciate different subjects and how they relate to the world around them. I look forward to working with your child, and will hopefully hear from you soon!

I teach students from wherever they are, my teaching philosophy is any person can master any subject of knowledge when giving proper and right tutoring and with hard working.Once Upon a Time in very ancient days, a tired and bored boy running away from his private teacher's course went an wondering day trip, he encountered an old man who was scratching a huge thick iron stick on a rock with water, the boy was so curious and asked "what are you doing with this huge thick iron stick, Sir?"The old man said "I am preparing it to become a sewing needle".The boy said "wow, it would take a long time and take a huge effort, doesn't it?"The old man said "well, don't you agree that eventually I will achieve what I desire to?"The boy was so inspired by the words and what he saw, later on he become a famous general in ancient China. What is your thinking on that?

I am an incoming school psychology doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As an undergraduate, I attended a prestigious honors program at the University of Texas at Austin.In essence, I have years of experience tutoring and teaching languages, writing, testing strategies, and other various subjects for students from elementary through college. Additionally, I am well-versed in university admissions for both graduate and undergraduate programs, and I can offer consulting on how to develop applications.I believe in making learning relatable and fun; rather than lecture my students, I design engaging and entertaining lessons, exercises, and even games for them. Understanding of material comes from active participation.

I am currently pursuing a BSA Biology degree and just finished my freshman year at UT Austin. At UT, I am a counselor for Camp Kesem, an officer for the American Medical Student Association, and I research with a lab on campus. Camp Kesem is a week-long camp for kids whose parents have cancer. I really enjoy working with kids and also volunteer at a children's hospital. I am super passionate about the sciences and math and am open to tutoring, biology, chemistry, calculus, algebra, writing, english, and psychology. I can't wait to help others learn and pursue their own personal passions! Outside of academics, I love to bake, sketch, take long walks, and play with my dogs!

Hello everyone, I go by Ese for short. Ever since I started going to school, mathematics has been my favorite subject. I have a deeper understanding for the subject that i would like to share with anyone who would want to learn. I have tutored family members and non relatives and have helped the students understand math better. I am patient, relate-able and approachable when teaching math. Overall, I would like to make any student's math life easier.

I'm a physician.I am a tutor who is devoted to continue working with students to help them learn to learn on their own. I want my students to gain academic confidence and the skills necessary to master any subject, using tutors as a tool to help them grow and develop in the scholarly world.My experience working with students is diverse. I have been a TA for three years, working with students in Introductory Biology, Biostatistics and Evolutionary Biology. Furthermore, I have worked as a tutor for students from primary school to college, and I have worked as a test prep instructor for a major test prep company.As a student, I have learned from amazing professors at both UTSA and UT Austin and have earned a BSA in Biology with two minors: psychology and business. I graduated in December of 2015 with High Honors.A core component of my education has been taught through research; thousands of hours of my time have been spent in research labs.Although my primary focus as a tutor lies in the sciences, I have broad experiences that allow me to work with students who need help in many different subjects, from social sciences to English, math, and test preparation.

A native Texan, I grew up in Houston and attended St. Thomas High School before moving to Austin to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin. I graduated from UT just this May with special departmental honors in math for my 20+ hours of graduate level coursework and senior research thesis. Currently, I am a first year pure math PhD student at Boston College.While at UT I worked for three years as an undergraduate teaching assistant and grader for multiple classes, including calculus (I, II, and III) and discrete math. There are few things more enjoyable than being of service to students trying to learn difficult material and seeing the gears in their heads start to turn as their confidence builds. I truly love studying math, and I work hard to communicate the beauty in math to all of my students.Having studied math at an advanced level for a few years now, I have a privileged insight into the rich structure of mathematics. I have worked in fields that are as difficult compared to calculus as calculus is compared to basic multiplication tables. As a result, I have developed a mastery of material from high school and early college level math, and I have spent the last three years practicing the way I communicate math so that assignments stop seeming like lifeless and disconnected assortments of problems. Math is easier to learn when you see it as something to get excited about.Whether you're struggling with a course, looking to get ahead, or want to review for standardized exams, give me a shout and I'll be happy to help you start working toward your goals!

Hi! My name is Avi, and I am a recent Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a strong passion for math and helping students build confidence in their abilities. I specialize in SAT Math as well as middle school and high school level math, including algebra, geometry, and pre calculus. I believe math does not have to feel intimidating. My goal is to break concepts down in a clear and relatable way so students truly understand the material rather than just memorizing formulas. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, whether they prefer step by step explanations, visual examples, or real world applications. Having gone through rigorous coursework myself, I understand the pressure students face when preparing for exams like the SAT. I focus not only on improving scores, but also on building problem solving skills and test taking strategies that help students feel confident and prepared. I am patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my students' success. Whether your goal is to boost grades, strengthen foundations, or achieve a higher SAT score, I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to working together and helping you reach your goals!

Education has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. On my first day of medical school, we were told that the term "doctor" comes from the Latin "docere" meaning "to teach." Given this enormous responsibility, I find that I cannot help but spread my knowledge that I have attained over my 20 year-long education career.As a medical student, I know how important it is to succeed in school. While in college, I personally was a Varsity Tutors client and found that it brought me much success in my academic success. I wish, now, to pay it forward and impart my knowledge over the topics I consider my speciality.By working with several students over the years, I have developed teaching methods dependent on the type of student I am working with. Having a solid foundation to learn and good study skills is incomparable when pursuing higher education, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I also know learning techniques that will improve long-term retention.While attending the University of Texas at Austin, I majored in biology and completed a certificate program in the foundations of business. I consider the fields of science and math to be my strengths and know how to teach these to improve one's knowledge base. As a 4th year medical student, I have also studied for and taken several standardized exams, including medical licensing exams, and I know that the approach to these is different that an exam for class.Every subject I teach is one I have studied extensively in the past, either through taking Advanced Placement classes in high school, college coursework, or within my medical curriculum. I have worked with several students in the past ranging from preschool to medical student, and have been blessed to see them improve over the course of my tutelage.If you have any questions for me, or would like more information into my credentials, I would love to be of more assistance and look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a musician-turned-engineer with a penchant for applying math to everyday situations.

With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in AP Biology, Biochemistry, and MCAT preparation, employing interactive and student-centered teaching methods to create a supportive learning environment. My approach focuses on connecting complex concepts to real-world applications, making the material more relatable and engaging. I am motivated by the success of my students and strive to instill confidence in their abilities.

As a tutor, I not only ensure my students make the grade, I nurture their academic self-esteem and innate intellectual curiosity. I do this by focusing on what my students know before turning to what they do not know. I take the time to understand and mentor my student’s particular gifts, using their individual strengths to conquer their individual academic challenges and become confident, creative, lifetime learners. By encouraging questions and providing hands-on interactive lessons which consist of substantial modeling (“see one”), guided practice (“do one”), and checking for understanding (“teach one”), I ensure my students understand the “why” rather than merely memorize the “that.”I am “HQ” (Highly Qualified) certified to teach Social Studies for grades 7-12. I currently teach a sophomore level ethics class at St. Edwards University. I taught several classes at The University of Texas at Austin as a Doctoral Candidate, where I also earned my M.A. in Philosophy. At the University of Southern California, I earned my B.A. with Departmental Honors along with the Discovery Scholar’s award for excellence in independent research. I have been tutoring and teaching for eleven years, with a primary emphasis on developing my students’ writing and critical thinking skills.In Renaissance Man fashion, I pursue well-roundedness. I let my imagination run free by playing World of Warcraft, watching Star Trek, and reading fantasy novels like The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter. I support my physical health by practicing yoga, camping, and experimenting in the kitchen with healthy, delicious, recipes. I soothe my soul by spending time with my family and friends, singing in my church’s choir and curling up with my husband and four cats to enjoy a relaxing evening at home.

I attended Yale University and the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English and minored in Philosophy. I recently completed a Masters in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. I first began tutoring while teaching ESL for two years in Taiwan after college. It was a great experience! Alongside teaching classes, I tutored individual students and adults in English language arts, and led SAT prep and humanities study groups at the Princeton Review. I love teaching and tutoring and am passionate about what my father, a former university professor, calls "the world of ideas." In particular, I am interested in literature, poetry, and the mechanics of writing, as well as issues related to psychology, philosophy, economics, and history. My long-term career goals include bringing together my training as a therapist and my background in education by working in higher education counseling settings.

I believe that everyone deserves to be helped to the best of their abilities. I struggled in school, and thanks to the help of a strong community they helped me succeed. I'd like to be part of that community for any person.

My 20 years of experience as a High School classroom teacher of Spanish and Russian has allowed me to grow toward a level of mastery in the teaching of young adults that has resulted in immeasurable student growth. My National Board Certification is evidence that my peers agree. My work at two early college high schools has allowed me to become an Instructional Technology coach for my peers, our students, their families, and the administration of our campuses. My experience in language acquisition as a language learner and pedagogy as a teachers and tutor using the natural method gives me the insight into the learning process needed to be a master teacher and tutor of English, Russian, and Spanish. I also help with SAT preparation.

I graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, with a Master's in English last year. As a graduate student, I designed and taught English classes for two years, and I have experience with teaching both in the classroom and in one-on-one settings. I enjoy teaching a wide variety of subjects, but especially literature, history, and math. As a teacher, I always focus on meeting students where they're at and providing them with what the tools they, personally, need to succeed. When it comes to test preparation specifically, I like to cut to the chase very quickly to determine what students most need help with, be it subject knowledge, time management, or an ability to recognize patterns in the 'tricks' that test writers use to mislead students. My hope is that this approach allows me to help you in a way that is immediately useful while also imparting knowledge that might aid you in the long term.

Graduated from UT Austin with a degree in Education and a passion for helping others develop a love for learning. Experience in working with students K-12 in and providing them educational and personal guidance. Extensive experience working with students with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I am passionate about helping students feel more confident and successful in their learning. During my undergraduate studies I tutored peers in French. After graduating from college I taught conversational English in Paris, which nurtured my interest in helping English Language Learners. 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 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.

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 have a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Physics and Astronomy (double major) from the University of Texas at Austin. My undergrad included multiple high-level Physics and Astronomy courses which were significantly math-intensive. I have also done multiple research projects under the mentorship of prominent UT Astronomy faculty, one of which culminated in a refereed lead-author publication which can be found at https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/accdda/pdf. I have been offered admission to a PhD program in Astronomy at UCLA starting in September 2024. In the months leading up to graduate school, I am seeking tutoring jobs in STEM related subjects. My goal is to gain experience helping students learn concepts in easy and fun ways. This will be valuable for me considering my long-term goal is to become a university professor and teach my own classes. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physics, Astronomy, Math, and Python. My experience in the first three stems from my education, while my experience in python stems mainly from my various research projects. My tutoring style is primarily based on helping students understand concepts. My goal is to help students learn and understand concepts that they may have been having trouble with in the past as well as offer them insights on how to approach such concepts and situations in the future. If there are concepts you want to understand better, I strongly encourage you to reach out!
