Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I have a background in journalism, teaching, curriculum development, personal finance, web publishing, and digital marketing. My biggest strengths are in reading, writing, and editing. I have a master's degree in journalism from The University of Texas at Austin, and a bachelor's degree in history from Bates College. I have a certificate in editing from the University of Washington (Seattle) and am a certified financial education instructor. Currently I am studying to become a certified financial literacy professional. I generally like to tutor in reading and writing, though I also like to teach math for elementary and middle school students. I love to edit written work, so I also like to help students out with college application essays. I've taught students from elementary school all the way to college, and I've learned patience is a required skill for teaching. I always want to help students who want to learn but also understand every student learns at a different pace. I always try to understand students' learning styles and their personality to figure out the best personalized approach for the student.

I recently attained a masters degree in electrical engineering with a focus on solid-state electronics from The University of Texas at Austin. Prior to that, I received bachelors degrees in both electrical engineering and physics from The University of Texas at Austin. As a tutor, I have logged over 400 hours assisting students with physics, math, electrical engineering, and programming. In the past, I have helped students as a math tutor for all grades from elementary school to calculus and as a graduate teaching assistant for a second-year electrical engineering class. With my strong mathematics and physics background, I can tutor all math and physics classes through introductory college courses. I especially enjoy teaching introductory college courses in calculus and physics, as these subjects are typically more difficult, but are ultimately more rewarding for me when I am able to help a struggling student understand a problem. I like to use YouTube videos and drawings to help students gain a better conceptual understanding of content and then emphasize methodical step-by-step problem solving to reinforce those concepts.

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 energetic and passionate about learning; I would love to share this passion with you! I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, and a prospective law student at NYU Law School as of Fall 2017.Fun Facts:My favorite subjects have always been English, French and Biology. Before I decided to major in International Relations and French, I was accepted to university as an Environmental Science major!I love to travel, and have been to almost 30 countries! I have lived in Ireland, France, the USA and Nigeria.Outside of education, my hobbies are mostly outdoor activities. I love camping, hiking, running, kayaking, and rock climbing.I love food.

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.

I have a BS in Astronomy and MS in Physics, with strong applied research background. I have performed experimental research on space instrumentation and enjoyed every minute of it. I have great knowledge in Physics, Math, and Astronomy and want to help you with any questions and problems that you are working on!I work with Math everyday in applied physics and have taught and presented my methodologies all the time. I have tutored many friends in their college endeavors and want to extend my help to you!I love science and the puzzles that it imposes for us to solve. Research is a strong passion of mine that I found in Physics and Astronomy that are the forefront of our existence in the universe. We should all be familiar with these subjects and I want to help you with any questions you have in these areas.I am easy going, very patient, and want to help you get the best tutoring experience and to answer your questions.

I am a second-year graduate student in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work program at the University of Texas at Austin pursing a Masters in Social Work. I also attended UT-Austin for my undergraduate years, where I majored in psychology, minored in sociology, and received a creative writing certificate. I have worked at the University Writing Center at UT for the past year, where I tutor undergraduates in writing skills. I review papers in all subjects and of all types, including research papers, lab reports, persuasive essays, creative writing, and post-undergraduate school applications. I also worked with Communities in Schools at a Title I elementary school on writing, grammar, reading, and comprehension. Writing and English are my favorite subjects to tutor because I love to see the satisfaction on a student's face when they can finally take all of the puzzle pieces of ideas floating around in their head and put them in a tangible form. Getting those thoughts on paper proves to a student that their words are worth being read and heard. My teaching philosophy is taking a collaborative, non-directive, and non-evaluative approach in helping my students cultivate writing skills and confidence that they will have for future writing endeavors. Outside of academia, I love movies, theater, playwriting, basketball, and anything outside!

I currently attend the University of Texas at Austin. I am an economics major at the moment. I love helping students because there is nothing more fulfilling as a tutor then helping someone understand a concept that they didn't fully understand before. I know that when I was a student, reaching that moment was one of the best feeling because you feel like you've overcome a huge obstacle, so I would love to help bring that feeling to everyone I tutor. I tutor in Algebra, Psychology, Test Prep, and a few other subjects as well. I really enjoy tutoring ACT because I enjoy teaching the little tricks that I learned and helping students gain any edge they can get. I enjoy basketball and many TV shows in my free time!

Hi, I have a PhD in organic chemistry as well as a PhD in geology. I have a life-long fascination with the natural world, and I learn new things everyday. I enjoy sharing what I've learned, and hope that it will spark an interest in the amazing world in which we live.

I enjoy helping students who are struggling or want to get ahead in school. It is my goal to teach each student in a style that enables them to learn best and make sure they understand what it is they are taught.

Knowledge is the greatest gift you can give to a person, and I try my best to do that every day. I believe that my style of tutoring, which involves intense collaboration, is conducive to helping students succeed. My ability to prepare and explain subject matter is of utmost quality.Moreover, my penchant for connecting with students on a personal level makes the tutoring experience enjoyable for everyone.I currently hold a Master's Degree in Accounting from the University of Texas and a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from St. Edward's University.My work centers around general/common mathematics and business courses (outside of my regular position as a staff accountant).

My goal as a tutor is to help students to succeed in their classes and understand important concepts related to the class materials with opportunities to ask questions.

I work with secondary and post secondary students on all topics ELA. I have 12 years of experience in education, 9 years of that at the high school level. I have Master's degrees in Education and English, and I am both ELA and ESL certified. I taught Intro to College Writing and Intro to College Literature in grad school.I've read all your required reading a million times. Best high school required reading- Gatsby, worst- Fahrenheit 451.

An Aggie raised in College Station, TX turned Longhorn, I recently graduated with a Plan II Honors degree from The University of Texas at Austin. Plan II is the overarching honors program for the university as well as an interdisciplinary major with a large emphasis on writing. I am also still pursuing a business management degree at UT. Because of my academic background, I have a deep love and appreciation for writing across numerous genres. I have experience writing fictional short stories, literary analyses, memorandums, cover letters, resumes, and more, all encompassing the skill of using written English language in concise, clear, and creative ways. Because of its significance in making for a great writer, I also enjoy reading, having analyzed texts of equal variety. I keep my own experiences and cherished lessons in mind as a tutor, engaging students by showing examples of writing principals from the most basic up to more complex applications then guiding students as they demonstrate examples that illustrate their own understanding of those core concepts. Exiting the climax of my own academic career, I have had the privilege of tutoring students in English and essay writing, and nothing is more rewarding than helping someone understand a previously challenging concept. I deeply look forward to helping students grow confident with their writing abilities and begin unlocking the power and enchanting capabilities of written words.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Plan II Honors along with a minor in Biology. During my years as an undergrad, I served as a peer adviser to help incoming freshmen prepare for college-level classes; an editor for both my university's literary journal and research journal; and a Mandarin Chinese teacher for beginning learners. After graduation, I began tutoring ESL students from China and eventually succeeded in raising their English scores by a full letter grade at the end of the semester. With more than 5 years of mentoring, tutoring, and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialtiesreading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me to both expand my education and aid a greater amount of people. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing; playing the piano, violin, and ukulele; pet-sitting kittens or puppies; and trying adventurous foods.

Hi! I'm a University of Texas Honors student looking to help people learn effectively and reach their academic goals. I'm strong in math, reading, and writing, and I've been an experienced tutor for years, helping students build skills, improve confidence, and see real progress.

I'd love the opportunity to support you or others in achieving success!

I am a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering. I graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of New Mexico with a concentration in materials processing and minors in Physics and Mathematics. I started my tutoring career as a supplemental instruction leader at the Santa Fe Community College where I taught students in a Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry course how to study effectively and develop test-taking strategies. Once that appointment ended I was hired as a tutor in subjects ranging from basic math to ordinary differential equations. I also tutored in the following subjects: chemistry, physics, engineering (including AutoCAD), and computer programing. I have put to use my academic knowledge in several internship opportunities allowing me to apply the things I have learned in a real-world setting. I worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for 2.5 years studying water purification while pursuing my B.S. I was an Air Force Research Lab Fellow at Kirkland Air Force Base where I studied solid Oxide Fuel Cells for space vehicles. I was also funded by NSF to study bio-compatible smart materials in the Biomedical Engineering department at the University of New Mexico. All of these experiences have helped me hone the skills I learned in the classroom and have given me a wider perspective on science, math, and engineering. I am a published author in three different scientific journals. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion with students because I believe it is important to understand how the things they are learning are important in the real world.

I am currently a freshman majoring in International Relations and Global Studies at University of Texas at Austin and a graduate of Singapore American School. I learned French after attending a local school in France, and in my sophomore year, I received a 5 on AP French. For Chinese, I completed the highest level of HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test). Additionally, as a member of both Chinese Honor Society and French Honor Society, I have tutored high school and middle school students in both languages. While I mainly tutor French and Chinese, Im also interested in tutoring for AP Capstone (AP Seminar and AP Research). For my AP Research paper, I studied linguistic relativity, which is the idea that language affects thought. Whether it be tutoring languages or research, I believe that it is most important to have the students goal in mind. In my free time, I like to draw and run.

As a dedicated tutor currently pursuing a MD degree at The University of Texas Medical Branch, I am passionate about fostering a deep understanding of biology and psychology in my students. 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.

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University (B.A.), Baylor University (M.A. and M.S.Ed.), and the University of Texas (Ph.D.). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with a minor in Sociology. My master's degrees are in Educational Psychology and Journalism, while my doctoral degree is in Journalism. With 24 years of teaching experience, I have taught courses in Psychology, Journalism, and Public Relations. However, my greatest passions are Journalism, English, Essay Writing, and Editing. In my experience preparing students for standardized tests, understanding the format and expectations can significantly alleviate anxiety and stress. I have found the most success in helping students with these exams' Critical Reading and Writing sections. I love supporting students in reaching their goals and have mentored several generations, many of whom have become teachers. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, and writing. I will be participating in a Study Abroad program for the first time this summer.

I believe the key to successful teaching is getting to know each learner and finding out what interests them and how they best learn.I graduated from UT Austin, and hold a current teaching certificate. I am passionate about teaching and have experience teaching and tutoring learners from diverse backgrounds and ages. I will strive to create interesting lessons or tutoring help that caters to your unique need.

I consider myself a life-long learner and I love helping students of all ages understand concepts and maximize their learning. I love teaching and helping others.

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.

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 been a tutor for the past two to three years and enjoy the task of being able to help students succeed in any subject. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing and volunteering at the local hospital.

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 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.

Hi there! I'm Aishah, a student at the University of Texas at Austin on the pre-med track. I know firsthand how demanding math and science courses can be, and I'm here to help you conquer them with confidence!

My life motto is, "You learn something new everyday." I am a graduate from UT Austin with a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology & Infectious Diseases. I have tutored students in math, science, and college admissions exams for 4 years. While I tutored, I fell in love with sharing my knowledge and seeing students achieve success in their courses. I became a certified 7-12 grade Science teacher and had the pleasure to educate high school students in Biology and Environmental Science. I focus on meeting a student where they are, scaffolding to student independence in learning, and bringing the information in their optimal learning style: Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic.

I am currently a sophomore attending the University of Texas at Austin. I am pursuing a Bachelors in Biology and a certificate in Elements of Computing. I have been tutoring since high-school first as a member of National Science Honor Society and later at Mathinasium Carrollton. I have also continued to tutor individually for SAT math during my summers at college. I have experience with students from middle through college and enjoyed helping them succeed.

I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. I have a background in both Mathematics and other Natural Science fields and am both willing and comfortable teaching either of these subjects. Furthermore, I have studied and taken the SAT and MCAT, and would be happy to help others who want to take these tests.My prior teaching experience includes mentoring in both group and one-on-one settings. While most of my teaching has been done with my students of similar age, I would be comfortable with younger students as well, having been an older sibling for most of my life. From personal experience from the point of view of both a teacher and a student, learning is not always a straightforward process. Teaching plans should be compatible with individual students, taking into account their goals, needs, and learning styles. For example, I personally like to incorporate secondary lines of reasoning. When learning words, I look at roots, when learning theorems, I study proofs, and when learning mechanisms, I examine comparable systems. In addition, I am a rather visual learner, and favor illustrations such as graphs, tables, and diagrams as learning tools.Besides working as a tutor, I enjoy watching and playing sports, especially football, basketball, and soccer. I enjoy cooking and would like to improve both the quality of food I produce and the repertoire of dishes I can make. I have interests in other subjects, such as geography, history, and architecture. Various other hobbies include watching TV shows, walking around, listening to music, and playing video games.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. I received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree with focus on robotics. I am due to graduate this December with a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics from Tarleton State University. I have several years of experience in higher education. In my two years at Tarleton State University I have taught various levels of college algebra. I have also taught at ITT Technical Institute for two years, covering many electronics and programming classes. I enjoy helping students to see difficult subjects like mathematics and programming in a different light, making the material a little less scary and a lot more understandable.

I've just moved back to America after spending nearly 3 years teaching English in Japan. It was an amazing experience and I really learned to enjoy and appreciate the small class sizes our school offered (from 1 to 6 students). I think one-on-one lessons are very beneficial for students, and I would love to continue teaching here. Before leaving for Japan, I enjoyed working as a susbitute for Katy ISD. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in history, and I also feel very comfortable teaching grammar, reading, writing, editing, and Japanese. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading books, riding my bike, or watching any of Houston's great sports teams. Go Texans!!

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 am a Psychology/Human Dimensions of Organizations Plan I Honors student at the University of Texas at Austin. While attending high school in Rye Brook, New York, I tutored middle and high school students in a variety of topics. I enjoy tutoring in all ELA subjects as well as psychology, Spanish, test prep, essay editing, and study strategies.

Teaching is my passion. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am a supportive and caring teacher who loves helping students grow and enjoy learning. I am a National Board Certified teacher and have been teaching for 18 years. I have experience working with middle school, high school, and college students. I have taught middle school English and social studies, high school AP English Language and Composition, and college history courses. I have also worked in university writing centers and am skilled at helping students develop their writing skills.In addition, a passion of mine is working with students to help them develop their executive functioning skills. I love helping students develop effective study habits by teaching them about organization, planning out assignments and due dates, and prioritizing.I also scored very high in the social studies and English Praxis tests and am eager to help others successfully pass these tests as well.But whatever I'm teaching, it's the relationship with my students that is key. My students feel safe and appreciated around me; they feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakestwo habits of mind that are crucial to learning.

As a native Spanish speaker and passionate educator, I bring over 2 years of tutoring experience with a strong focus on conversational Spanish and cultural fluency. I've worked with learners of all ages and levelsfrom beginners just starting out to students in advanced college courses. At the undergraduate level, I've tutored classes such as First-Year Spanish I & II, Intermediate Spanish, and Spanish Conversation and Culture, helping students build confidence in both academic and real-world settings. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your fluency through real-world conversation, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. I create a supportive, low-pressure environment where you can build confidence, expand your vocabulary, and speak more naturally. In addition to my Spanish minor, I hold a Bachelor's in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Austin and have taught coding (Java, Python, C/C#) to students of all ages. breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. My lessons focus on hands-on learning and confidence-building, whether you're preparing for a class or building your own projects. Above all, I'm passionate about mentoring students as they grow, ask questions, and succeed in both language and tech.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Education (Special Education; Learning and Behavior Disorders) from The University of Texas. I received my Doctorate in Education from The University of Washington. I have public and private school experience teaching students with learning disabilities and emotional disorders in upper elementary grades and middle school. In addition, I taught 5th grade for two years. I had the opportunity to enter a doctoral program in education at the University of Washington when my family moved to Seattle. I worked as a Teaching and Research Assistant while completing my degree. Upon finishing, I remained at UW for three years to direct a research project in special education and to direct their teacher education program in Behavior Disorders. I taught graduate level courses in two fields, learning disabilities and behavior disorders. Our family made the decision to return to Texas in 1991 when my husband and I both had new job opportunities. I was a Professor of Special Education at TCU in Fort Worth from 1991 until I recently retired. My experiences at TCU included directing the graduate and undergraduate programs in special education. Because students graduating from our program earned dual certification in general and special education, I was heavily involved in teaching college students who were planning to be elementary and middle school teachers. TCU has two laboratory schools, Starpoint School (for elementary students with learning disabilities) and KinderFrogs School, an early intervention program for young children with Down Syndrome and other developmental delays. I was on the Advisory Board for both schools and worked closely with the teachers, assisting as needed. My experiences go beyond the rather bland description of what is written above. I am passionate about teaching children and youth and advocating for their needs. Too often the focus is placed on student deficits rather than student strengths. This leads to a cycle of defeat within the child. Teaching requires meeting student needs. My strength is identifying students' strengths and needs and to teach accordingly. I have over 30 years experience in developing successful learning strategies that assist students in their learning. I am in my 60s and I am still excited about meeting and teaching students. Every student has unique ways of learning. I believe that it is important to establish a strong teaching/learning relationship with each student based on their uniqueness. Please feel free to ask me any questions. I currently live on a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina with my black lab. I volunteer for several local charities and for Meals on Wheels. I love my life!

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 work in interdisciplinary approaches to French literary studies, post-colonial studies, and Francophone studies, but my main goal is to help students and working professionals to understand and communicate in the French language and to reach their own goals in the language while developing an understanding of its rich and diverse cultures.

I'm Jay! I'm currently going to college at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in fine arts and I am also in the pre-medical program. Even though I'm not done with college, I have already published papers in the field of epigenetics since my freshmen year of college. Even though I consider myself to have an expertise in languages, I decided to teach areas in the field of natural sciences because those are the subjects that I am most passionate about.I was born in Taiwan; however, even before I learned how to speak, I moved to the States. Hence, my first language was English. In third grade, my parents decided to move back to Taiwan to aid in my education of the Chinese language. Of course, learning Chinese as a second language is as difficult as it sounds. With some hard work and the right learning strategies, I was able to get a good grasp on the language and even winning third place in a national writing competition four years after moving to Taiwan.Although I learned a new language during the time I was in Taiwan, I slowly lost my English speaking, writing, and reading abilities. When I moved back to the States in 9th grade, my English was not fluent enough to be put into a classroom with the other native speakers. I worked hard, and I was able to get out of a two-year ESL (English as a Second Language) program in just a semester.I have tutored students since I was in high school in English, Chinese, mathematics, and most subjects in the area of natural sciences. I don't want to just teach my students the subjects themselves. I want to teach them my strategies and SECRETS to learning quickly and efficiently. I am easy to reach and will provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule a lesson.I can't wait to speak with you soon!
