Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

Hello! My name is Reigne ("rain") and I am currently a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin. I am a biology major with a focus of going to medical school. I've taken various college courses from psychology to British literature while in high school, so I understand the need to switch to different learning and studying styles with each subject. My personal strengths in subjects include math (algebra 1 & 2), biology, and writing as well. I took a total of 3 college writing courses in high school and also wrote a strong personal statement for my current university, meaning I can help with high school essays, but I can also help guide students to create a strong admissions essay that portrays who the are in a short amount of words. I truly believe that in order to teach, especially with individual students, we as tutors need to listen to the needs as well as adapt to how the students learn.

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin studying Psychology BA. I am part of UT's Liberal Arts Honors program. I'm passionate about writing and teaching kids how to improve their writing ability with simple tips and practice. I believe that being a good writer is something anyone can achieve with enough work, and it is a skill you will use throughout your life!

I recently earned my PhD in Plant Biology and was a graduate teaching assistant for 6 years. My teaching experience has centered on honors and standard-level introductory biology and genetics courses, where I have helped students move beyond memorization to achieve deeper conceptual understandings. I strive to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable engaging with challenging material and asking questions. I also lead a science communication club for PhDs & middle schoolers.

I am a recent University of Texas graduate. I am a pre-medical student working on applying to medical school for the 2017 entry cycle. My degree is in Human Biology, but I enjoy teaching all STEM related subjects.I have previous experience in tutoring privately for families. I tutored elementary and middle school aged students in a YMCA Outreach program for a year. I also worked as a Peer Mentor for the Chemistry Emerging Scholars program at the University of Texas at Austin, where I tutored 20-30 students twice weekly on freshmen general chemistry. I love working with people and really enjoy teaching others.I also will be tutoring MCAT prep for students preparing for medical school. I previously took the test in January of 2016 and self-studied. I am very committed to helping pre-medical students reach their goals.

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.

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

Hello! My name is Danny Pry and I am a Licensed Professional Mechanical Engineer. I graduated from the University of Texas in December of 2009 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Also, I like venturing the outdoors recently, I have backpacked through Europe and camped on national parks in Wyoming and Texas.My main goal as a tutor is to inspire students to recognize their potential for utilizing straightforward methods to analyze and solve problems. By dissecting problems into its core components similar to those of previously worked problems, one can isolate the necessary information and creatively employ tested strategies to easily arrive to a solution.

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.

I am a graduate from the University of Texas at Austin in Petroleum Engineering. I am very passionate about teaching and would like to complete my teaching certificate in the near future. I have a lot of experience tutoring students in math classes ranging from middle school math to advanced math topics such as calculus. I don't see tutoring as a means to finding an answer, but rather an opportunity to learn and visualize the problems and learn more about the problems themselves. I have always enjoyed math because it is one of the only subjects that you can always prove your answer to be correct with concrete evidence. I am a very patient person and won't give up on my students because I know that everyone is capable of solving the problems they are given. It is a matter of how the students will learn it and I believe that if the students don't understand a problem, I am not doing a good enough job and will constantly adjust my teaching style until my student masters their subjects. In my free time I love doing a variety of different activities. One of my favorite things is food! I love cooking and baking different items. I also love hiking outdoors and playing different sports. I also love music! Whenever there is a music festival near me, I will definitely attend! And when music festivals aren't around, you'll definitely find me singing along at a karaoke place with my friends. Lastly, I am in love with movies. I love all genres and enjoy watching how beautiful the motion pictures turn out.

I hope to help students use what they learn to help them succeed outside of the classroom and well into the future. My favorite part about teaching is trying to help students overcome the fear and failure that can sometimes be associated with learning.

Since childhood I've had a passion for teaching and learning math. I started actually competing in math tournaments starting in high school, but even in middle school I would do math for fun. Soon realizing my deep passion for math I ended up going to college for mathematics and now currently work as a Junior Java Developer for BGC Partners. That is a quick summary, but more detail below.In High School, I was very into competitive academics. I was on math team, science team, and even history team. My school was brand new so there weren't many people on the teams, but I always tried to make it more fun for people to come. I learned new math tricks on my own to help my fellow teammates. I ended up being district champion in number sense 2 years in a row and top 3 in mathematics those 2 years as well. Even back in high school I loved to help people with math regardless of what year they were or if it would benefit me or not. Now I usually just tutor math because I hope to maybe become a math teacher or professor in the future! Of course that's not for a while and I would have to do my Phd but I think it would be worth it because I believe teaching others math is amazing and it can truly help someone's future and there is no better feeling than that. More importantly personally I think math is just truly magnificent how these formulas and calculations of an intangible idea somehow explain all the real world.
