Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I didn't even consider going to college initially. I worked at KFC as a senior in high school, I was being offered my own store with a salary of 40K, I wasn't even thinking college was an option. Then one fateful day I met with my guidance counselor and she told me about the top ten percent rule. I was in the top ten percent and had the opportunity to go to any Texas school I wanted. Even after finding that out, I was considering not going. However, once I looked at where I was and where I wanted to be, there was no way going to KFC straight out of high school, was going to open to doors I needed opened to be successful.I applied to multiple schools, but once I got into UT, I was set. I didn't want to go anywhere else. I came in as an Education major, changed to sports medicine, then finally settled on Government. I chose government because of all the exposure to that sort of material at my magnet high school in Dallas. I figured my familiarity with the subject would allow me to get a better GPA, which would help me to go to a better law school. I excelled in government classes, as well as Philosophy courses, which led me to making Philosophy my minor. I was very active on my University campus, and lent myself out as a resource to other students in the event they needed assistance or advice.I finished up undergrad in May 2011, and then immediately went into law school at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Urbana. I studied law generally and had an extended focus on litigation. Litigation is the art of courtroom lawyering. I loved that area of the law because I felt that is where the law was meant to be handled. I have a passion for being able to get people to understand complex information in a short amount of time. You don't have a jury's attention forever, you need to be able to get to the point and be understood on the first go round.I graduated from law school in May 2015. It was a tough process, but I made it. I am now working and saving money so I can be able to register for the bar exam and become a practicing attorney. I am eager to develop my skills in the area of teaching and believe I can have a positive impact on students overall success and general outlook on academia.

I sought to become a tutor during my undergraduate career at The University of Texas at Austin. I received my degree in Nutritional Sciences, and I will be starting dental school this fall! I love biology, and enjoy the aspect of learning and the fulfillment of succeeding in academics.Outside of school, I LOVE cooking and spending time with friends! I also love playing musical instruments, mainly flute because of its difficulty and vast repertoire.My main goal for my students is for them to become competent and comfortable in their subject areas. I understand the difficulties and pressures that come along with school, which is why I want to do my best to ensure their success.

We'll break concepts down step-by-step, practice together, and celebrate every "aha!" moment.Outside of tutoring, I'm into weightlifting and traveling, which means I bring plenty of energy and real-world examples to my lessons. My goal is simple: help you understand the material, believe in yourself, and maybe even have a little fun along the way. I'm excited to get to know you and help you grow!

I always try to understand students' learning styles and their personality to figure out the best personalized approach for the student.

I'm an English as a Foreign/Second Language (EFL/ESL) teacher here in Philadelphia. I am certified and have ten years of teaching experience at home and abroad.

Hey there! My name is Khang, and I'm happy to help you learn! A bit about me, I was a pretty good student in high school. I took a bunch of AP classes, from AP Calculus BC to AP Psychology, and I understand the rigor and hard work that it takes to succeed in those classes. I also got a 1490 on my PSAT/NMSQT (and qualified as a National Merit Finalist) as well as a 1540 on my SAT (including a perfect score on the English section). My teaching philosophy is quite simple. First, I want to clear any foundational misunderstandings you may have with a subject by teaching you what you don't know and working our way up. Then, I do practice questions with you so you can understand how to apply the concepts you just learned. Then finally, I let you practice on your own so that you can learn by yourself how to think critically and to practice all the skills that you learned. Feel free to book a session with me; I'm ready to help with whatever you need!

I'm a student at UT Austin and I really enjoy working with students and helping things finally click for them. I've worked with kids in places like Kumon and STEAM programs, so I'm used to explaining things in different ways depending on how someone learns. I try to keep tutoring relaxed and encouraging. A lot of students already know more than they think, they just need things broken down a bit differently or a little more confidence to work through problems on their own. That's usually what I focus on. I'm especially comfortable with math, reading, and test prep, and I like helping students build strategies they can actually use instead of just memorizing steps. My goal is to make sessions feel productive but not stressful.

I am an aspiring graduate student in Materials Science and Engineering. I have experience tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics to college students at Austin Community College. I have a passion for learning and love to see my students succeed. I love finding new ways to explain concepts to best aid the student according to their learning style.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Biology with a cellular, molecular, and developmental concentration. I grew up in Houston, TX and started tutoring during high school for students struggling with the math and science portions on the TAKS test. I discovered quickly that I really enjoyed working with others and can creatively think of different ways to explain key concepts to make them easier to understand. I continued this passion when I went to Austin for college, working as an undergraduate researcher, mentor, and preceptor for biochemistry. I worked with my professors to organize and conduct weekly study sessions and reviews before exam days. Following graduation, I decided to postpone my plans of going on to medical school to become part of the AVID program. As an AVID tutor, I work work closely with disadvantaged students in grades 6-12 to help them with various subjects such as algebra I/II, geometry, calculus, physics, chemistry, and biology.

Furthermore, I also offer tutoring services for all subjects for middle school. I have more than 500 hours of experience teaching and interacting with students from pre-K to high school from mentoring programs to volunteering as a teacher assistant. As my student, you as a person are my number one priority, not your academic performance. I firmly believe in understanding the underlying principles and making real-life applications way above content memorization. It is my job to help you understand the values of the subjects you are learning. I love using analogies to provide multiple perspectives to help my students better understand the principles. Furthermore, I always take notes with my students so they won't be lost after our sessions. All the sessions will be more on the conversational side where you will partake in answering questions and thinking critically to demonstrate your understanding. I have much experience in creating customized and individualized plans and materials for clients to make sure you are never getting a one-size-fits-all learning experience. As a tutor, I strive to connect and make their learning experience as joyful as possible. I found my love in learning and teaching natural sciences during high school. To me, they are the gateway to understanding this marvelous world and how they function. Beyond that, my ultimate goal is to contribute in cancer research and hopefully find a cure to this disease.

I help students develop a metacognitive reflective lens for current and lifelong study. I constantly ask students to ask themselves: What am I doing well? And how can I keep doing that?

As a tutor, I have found success through tutoring my students with the "I Do, We Do, You Do" approach. Typically, I start by teaching the concept, I work on a problem with the student, and then I give the reins to the student to solve a problem. I believe teaching is vital and I believe it is especially vital to get to know and understand the student. I aspire to create a safe, fun learning environment for students where they feel they can best achieve success. I hope all my students feel like they are learning while also having fun in an environment where they feel comfortable.
