Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I am highly enthusiastic about math! I have taught mathematics for 10 years to students in grades 7-12 and I have tutored students on weekends and nights as well.I attended University of Texas at Austin and earned my BA in Economics in 2004 with a minor in Mathematics. I'm excited to help students clear up any confusion in their approach to problem-solving and build their confidence and skill set.

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.

I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. After earning my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Government, I served as an 8th-grade science teacher through Teach For America. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals, and I am committed to ensuring every student I work with receives the care and attention they deserve.

I'm a computer and social scientist. I hold graduate degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago and earned my bachelor's at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, I research ways the natural sciences can be used to advance the study of anthropology and history. I am currently completing my PhD.

Hello everyone! My name is Syed, and I am passionate about helping students reach their educational goals. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree at the John Sealy School of Medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston; recently, I was accepted at my institution to be a peer tutor for our first year classes, including Anatomy, Neurology, and Microbiology. I completed my undergraduate studies at The University of Texas at Austin, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. There, I was a Learning Assistant for my Physics: Electricity and Magnetism course. I have taken the MCAT and other medical school acceptance exams, pre-med college courses, AP exams, and the SAT, and I am excited to help you reach your goals through guided instruction!

I am a Junior in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. I have experience teaching college-level science labs as well as freelance tutoring. I began tutoring because I wanted to help students find success and enjoyment in conventionally challenging courses like math, science, and writing. I tutor college-level chemistry through Organic II, college-level physics through Electricity & Magnetism, and any and all math classes from middle-school math through college-level calculus.In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and hanging with my friends. I always enjoy meeting new people and look forward to helping students build confidence in their studies.

One of my favorite things about teaching is getting students excited to learn with fun and engaging lessons. This enables them to be successful, to feel good about themselves, and to want to learn more. As a lifelong Spanish speaker who lived in Mexico for 5.5 years, I love teaching Spanish. I graduated with a BA in Drama from UT Austin, and received my MA in Educational Psychology and Counseling from UTSA. I am also certified to teach Drama and Spanish, have taught both subjects, and have tutored children and adults in Spanish.

I enjoy helping students reach their goals and I want to share my passion for learning. I have been an instructor for children, teens, and adults, and currently work as an Adjunct Art Appreciation Instructor at a community college. My degrees are in Fine Arts: A Master's from UTSA in Drawing and a Bachelor's from UT Austin in Studio Art. I can tutor in Art, Grammar, Writing, and French.

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

I am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a focus on positive psychology. This education, as well as the time I spent teaching children at a local church, revealed to me the important role quality education and a love of learning have in boosting a child’s well-being. As a life-long learner myself, I genuinely enjoy imparting this appreciation for education and watching my students flourish as a result. Perhaps not surprisingly, my favorite subjects to tutor include study skills and test preparation, as the material taught can be more clearly applied across subjects and in other areas of the student’s life. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, traveling, reading about current research in the social sciences, and meditating.

I am from the great city of Austin, Texas, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Before attending UNTHSC, I worked as a Certified Dermatology Tech as part of Dr. Bryan Townsends' Mohs Surgery Team, while waiting tables at Matt's El Rancho and Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurants. I will be attending TCOM next year. As a CAP tutor and fellow classmate, I hope to promote a collaborative and supportive environment for students in all programs at UNTHSC. I am excited for the opportunity to meet and connect with students on the Varsity system, vowing to do my best to ensure a higher level of content understanding and serve as a positive and motivational force for students.

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 truly enjoy the mentoring and coaching aspects of my work and that is the driving reason for providing tutoring to students. I have an excellent and well rounded mix of professional experience and educational foundation which allows me to bring context and examples to topics in order to help students fully understand the concepts being learned.I initially received an undergraduate degree in Information Systems from Texas Tech University and went to work for ExxonMobil as an applications developer and project manager. During my time with ExxonMobil, I had the opportunity to work in multiple business segments and began leading international projects which led me to working on projects in Africa (Chad and Cameroon). I then received a graduate degree from The University of Texas McCombs School of Business, and transitioned to a career in finance and manufacturing with Textron Inc. I served in multiple leadership roles within Textron's various business units which included banking and lending, leading a global manufacturing finance division, and serving as a Corporate Controller and Logistics Director. For the past five years, I have started a few different businesses with the primary entity being Black Hat Consulting Inc which provides strategic consulting services for marketing, finance, real estate clients.I have been a Chartered Financial Analyst since 2010.

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.

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

I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Ever since I was young, I have always been interested in the lives of children--always believing that there was a spark in each and every child, no matter their circumstances or struggles. I've tutored many of my peers in many subjects over the years, but my favorites have always been mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science. My philosophy towards teaching is that the student should be learning, not be being taught. A teacher is a guide, and does not teach what to think, but how to think. I always aim to make sure my students completely understand the subjects we are discussing, rather than merely understanding how to apply formulae and equations. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, running, and the odd hike through the woods.

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at The University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering Honors with minors in Computer Science and Business.

Hi! My name is Kendrick, and I am deeply passionate about education. I believe that the very best way for students to grasp concepts is for them to explore those concepts themselves and arrive at logical conclusions that they make through their own thinking. Because of that, my teaching has a strong emphasis on guided exploration, where my students are posed questions that they answer through their own critical thinking, as opposed to being expected to absorb and memorize answers.

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.

I have lived in Texas all my life. I’ve moved from Houston to Austin and back again. I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I pursued a degree in sound engineering and recording technology with an emphasis in Pre-Med and Pre-Law. I plan on attending an institution where I can achieve a medical doctorate simultaneously with a degree in jurisdictional prudence.Five years at the UT has taught me how to take in complicated information, process it and teach it to fellow students. In a more professional atmosphere, I have helped students achieve their academic goals through tutoring on a high school level.That being said, there is a certain thrill that I have when I see someone comprehend a subject that was previously foreign to them. I have seen the look regarding subjects from an elementary level to a collegiate level. Regardless of what subject I am working with someone on, I will strive to make sure the student understands.Personally, I have an easily approachable personality. I’m friendly and easy for students and parents to get to know and trust. It’s difficult to teach someone unless there is a foundation of trust between the two parties and my disposition makes it easy to achieve that relationship.I have many hobbies. Primarily I love to practice my violin. I have been playing since I was two years old. My parents put a stick in one hand and a cardboard box in the other till I could handle the real thing. Other hobbies include fencing, reading, swimming and skiing.
