Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

Hello! My name is Teacher Kathryn. **I currently specialize exclusively in Instant Tutoring** My classes focus on speaking! I have been teaching in classrooms and English institutes since 2012. In 2017 I began instructing online. I teach adults and children as young as five. I am dedicated to my work as a professional teacher. Lessons in my classroom include: grammar explanations suited to your level, clear expectations and rules, and eye-catching visuals. I teach all levels of student, from YOUNG LEARNERS to students preparing for the IELTS or TOEFL. I make my students feel comfortable by using pictures, toys, and stories to get to know them. My class has a friendly and creative environment that helps students express their ideas and use new language in a safe place. I can't wait to teach you or help you with your classwork!

Hello! I am a certified French and English teacher who has taught and tutored for over 14 years now. I attended the University of Texas here in Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in French. I also studied abroad in Paris and at the University of Poitiers in France. I returned to UT to get my teaching certificate in French and English. My teaching career has been at the high school and middle school levels here in Austin, although I have tutored all ages - children, college students, and adults. When I am not working, I love to attend spend time with my boys, do yoga, and go to live music shows. I can help in all levels of English Language Arts and Study Skills. I tutor all levels of French, from beginners to high school students prepping for the French AP exam to college students. Plus I love working just on conversational French!

I have been a teacher for ten years. I have taught at eight different schools and thrive in mostly the Humanities. While a high school teacher at heart and by profession, I have also worked with elementary age children with learning differences.

As a passionate tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Physics from The University of Texas at Austin, I have over two years of experience teaching, including peer tutoring and in-class support for younger students. I am confident tutoring across a range of subjects, with particular strength in mathematics, including Algebra II, AP Calculus, and AP Statistics. My teaching approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, which allows me to connect with students by seeing challenges from their perspective and addressing individual areas of confusion. I believe that learning math is like solving puzzlesmy role is to make concepts clear, engaging, and approachable. My early experience as a peer tutor in high school gave me a strong foundation in breaking down complex problems and fostering a supportive learning environment. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the logic behind both math and language, which continues to fuel my enthusiasm for teaching.

Hello! My name is Srishaan Iyengar and I'm a senior at Round Rock High School. Not only do I tutor here, but I also tutor at the local Mathnasium. Some of my favorite hobbies include playing basketball, video games, watching TV shows, and hanging out with my friends.

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 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'm a musician-turned-engineer with a penchant for applying math to everyday situations. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and have worked in Austin as a civil engineer. I also hold a Master of Music from Indiana University and taught private music lessons for several years before turning to engineering. The upshot to all of this is that I have a lot of experience with one-on-one teaching and applied mathematics. If I am your tutor, you will never have to wonder why you are learning your topic! I keep things relevant to real life and draw lots of connections with other subjects and interests.

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 have a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin; I have a Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. I am certified to teach English and ESL (7-12). I come from a long line of teachers on my mother's side. I have been teaching English in high school for the past 10 years, as well as tutoring for private clients. My passion is helping students find their voice in their essays, whether for class or for college applications. I am also very successful and helping students prepare for the English portion of standardized exams, particularly the ACCUPLACER/TSI, SAT, and the STAAR. In my experience, each student learns in their own unique way and needs to be supported in finding what works best for them. Each step of the way in their academic journey is another opportunity for them to learn more about what is important and strengthen their sense of purpose. Students may forget much of what they learn in high school but they remember how they were able to succeed in reaching their goals. I look forward to working with you!

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 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!

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.

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.

Education has been my passion and my career for 8 years. I began teaching in Special Education, which I believe makes me an excellent candidate for tutoring for many reasons. First, I am able to differentiate my lessons and other lessons for all abilities. Differentiation is essential and it proves that teachers are in tune with the individual students and can adapt any lesson to meet every child's needs. As a special education teacher, I was also able to create and implement incentive systems which served as a motivator for students, especially when the lessons increase in difficulty. Another reason I would love to tutor is because I can devise engaging activities with multi-sensory lessons so children of all abilities are able to be successful, challenged, and engaged.

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).

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.

I am currently a 3rd-year Nutrition major at the University of Texas at Austin with a certificate in Pre-Health Professions. Upon graduating, I am planning on attending medical school to become a physician. Prior to college, I held a job as a primary school instructor at Kumon, where I tutored students aged 5-13 in fundamental mathematics and English. I believe that education is one of the most important proponents of a successful future career, and especially, the foundations of any educational work are imperative to understand and grasp. Growing up, I have had extensive tutoring myself in SAT and ACT, so I am able to bring multiple perspectives on topics other than elementary and middle school math and English. I believe that the student is only as good as the teacher teaches, so I perform my absolute best to be a catalyst for the future generation.

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 like to learn, and I am confident that I can help you learn. I hold a PhD in Computer Science and I also have a Masters in English.I have taught first and second year Computer Science at university, along with College Freshman English.

I am a firm believer that all students can succeed when provided with the right support and resources. As a former AP Environmental Science teacher, curriculum writer, and AP exam grader, I bring a wealth of insider knowledge to my tutoring sessions. I make complex science easy to understand, helping you master the material and approach your AP exam with total confidence.

My name is Mohima Sultana and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BSA in Biochemistry. I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects and working with individuals from various ages and backgrounds with a specialized background in teaching middle school students. I enjoy teaching math, English, and of course all the sciences! I love languages and love to teach English and Arabic! I love helping students reach their goals and develop new skills! Over the years I have really discovered the importance of individualized learning. We each have our own style, methods and ways of learning and I think it is super important to utilize these individual needs when learning and retaining information. That is why I am super enthusiastic about helping you find the techniques that fit with your needs and making them work for you in reaching your academic goals! As a medical student myself, I have had to find ways to learn and retain information and I can use my experience to help you excel and pursue the knowledge of your dreams! I love watching my students succeed and will do anything to support you in every way that I can to help you be successful!

I recently left my post as a graduate student and researcher at Stanford University to pursue a career in medicine. My educational journey has been a long one, but I've always loved learning and that love has kept me in school (whether for better or worse :P) for more years than I can count. Though I don't plan on being a student forever, the time that I've spent preparing for college, graduate school, and now medical school has reminded me of how enabling a strong academic record can be.I've been tutoring since I was in high school and have worked with students at every level of education. I specialize in teaching from a very fundamental perspective and in building concepts from the ground up but also enjoy helping students to "just get done" with their homework. Though I'm particularly fond of math and science, I can provide assistance in almost any subject (from Latin to world geography to art history), and can also help in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT, GRE, and MCAT.Above all though, my approach to tutoring is simply about having fun and inspiring students to do their best. Assignments and tests are really just chances for students to demonstrate how much they already know, and allowing each student to shine at his or her brightest is what tutoring is all about.

I am currently at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. Since January 2016, I have been tutoring Math and Physics at my current college. These two subjects are my favorites because I am proficient. My tutoring style consists in having my students complete some practice problems that encompass the concepts they do not understand in order to identify their needs and help them master what could not before. My interests outside of academia consist in playing soccer and swimming. Also, I like to watch documentaries and movies, to read books, and to go for a walk in my neighborhood.

Words are my tools. Journalistically trained and educated, I respect the craft of understanding and building narratives. I believe that every person has a story to tell, and it is my privilege and responsibility to help others share their story with the world. I bring that same mindset as a teammate, creative partner, and instructor, looking into everyone to uncover their unique abilities and help bring them forth in positive, powerful ways. I am looking for people on a shared mission to help and heal, to unlock truth, to stimulate discovery, and to guide communities through their own journey of thought, revelation, and empowerment.

I completed a BS-MS degree at Washington University in St Louis (BS in biomedical engineering, MS in mechanical engineering) in 2010 and a PhD in mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in 2016. My PhD work examined human movement biomechanics. More recently, I was a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Leuven in Belgium. I currently live in Fort Worth, Texas, where I am a mathematics instructor at Tarrant County College and I am interested in helping math and engineering students achieve success!I have 5 years of tutoring experience in math subjects - including pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus (I, II, and III). I have also helped students achieve success in the SAT math test, SAT math subject tests, and GRE quantitative exams. I received a teaching assistant certification from the University of Texas at Austin, and served as a teaching assistant for a mechanical engineering bachelor's level "dynamics" course and a master's/PhD level "musculoskeletal biomechanics" course. As a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Leuven, I was a course assistant for a master's level "modeling and optimizing human movement" course, covering biomedical and mechanical engineering topics. I currently am an adjunct mathematics instructor at Tarrant County College, where I teach Calculus and Business Algebra.I love learning and I look forward to sharing my passion for math and engineering with you!

I am a fourth year student at the University of Texas at Austin. I am studying Public Health and Business. I have taught students in Math, Science, and Reading previously. I understand what it takes for an individual to gain knowledge and learn to be successful in the future.

I'm passionate about helping students because I enjoy mathematics and like to put my interest to good use. I tutored middle and high schoolers during my four years of high school, helped students go over tests in calculus, and taught tricks for mental math as captain of the Math UIL Number Sense team my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from Cypress Ranch High School in 2020 and am currently pursuing a Mathematics degree and Computer Science Certificate at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor many types of math, and I enjoy them all equally because I like the tricks that can be used in each subject. I approach tutoring as a way to get to know the student and help them where they need it. I like to use icebreakers to make them feel more comfortable, then understand their approach to solving problems and figure out how I can help.

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.

I am a biology graduate from the University of Texas at Austin and after having worked for two years, realized I missed the joy of being a student! I am currently studying to take my MCAT in January and look forward to sharing all of my science knowledge through tutoring. I look forward to sharing the tips and tricks that helped me succeed in high school and college.

I am a current undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin with a 4.0 GPA. I am pursuing a degree in biology. In high school, I have tutored children from the ages of 8-17 in various subjects and helped increase their scores tremendously. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I am flexible in my teaching styles and will always do my best to tailor the tutoring to my students' needs.If you are looking to apply to college soon and need editing for your essays, I would love to help. I have been accepted to top universities in Texas and California such as A&M, UT Austin, UC San Diego, University of Southern California, and more!

I am a freshman, studying at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I love working with students because I want to help them grow, and I grow from them as well. I have tutored students before in elementary and middle school math. I believe that seeking help when needed is very important as one should be able to fully grasp concepts. In my free time, I like to travel. Additionally, I play the violin and like to spend time with family and friends.

Hello! My name is Teacher Amie and I am so thankful for the opportunity to help your child unlock their learning potential. I have three amazing kids of my own, and I truly understand the desire to give our children the best opportunities life has to offer. I have a Bachelors degree in Communication from the University of Texas at Austin and my teaching certification in Language Arts/Reading. I have been privileged to tutor children ages 3-15 in one-on-one and groups classes for over 5 years, and I specialize in phonics, pre-reading, reading, comprehension and writing. My enthusiasm for life and love of learning is evident in my classroom, and I pride myself in my abilities to connect with and motivate students of all ages and skill levels. I believe that a strong education is the most important building block in a child's life, and I look forward to helping your child succeed beyond their wildest dreams!

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'm a University of Texas at Austin graduate with a BSA in Biochemistry. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science, specifically, I excel at Biology, Chemistry, and any math courses up to Multivariable Calculus.My teaching philosophy is that an excellent teacher should show students where to look, and allow them the opportunity to make realizations and learn. As a person I'm very calm and collected, this shows in my teaching style as I'm extremely patient and have no issues repeating key concepts or explaining things in a different manner.Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis, having played at the varsity level at my high school, and more recently I've become interested in Ultimate frisbee. I played two years during my college career and was the captain for one of those years, and still often play at a recreational level.Hopefully, I can help you understand those few things that are giving you a hard time today!

I have seven years of experience teaching college-level philosophy. I love teaching, especially helping students gain confidence in their own abilities.

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.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence in math and reading. With 5 years of tutoring experience and several years of classroom teaching experience, I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple steps. I believe every student can succeed with the right guidance and encouragement.

I received my MBA in Finance in 2013 and my Bachelors in English, French, and Business in 2007.

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!
