Math doesn't have to be scary: I'm here to make it click.I'm a former high school math teacher and now a grad student, and I love helping students feel confident with Algebra, Geometry, and beyond. 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.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Biology and a concentration in Neurobiology. I also completed one of the liberal arts honors programs offered at UT. Throughout college, I had internships and jobs both on and off-campus, and I was an undergraduate researcher in the department of neuroscience at my university. Among these experiences, working as a writing consultant at our undergraduate writing center was especially memorable for me. It was a joy to help students from various academic backgrounds cultivate the writing skills they needed in order to flourish in undergraduate courses and even in the professional world. I also served as a lead peer academic coordinator in several of my science courses, including Biology I, Organic Chemistry, Microbiology, and Ecology. These roles required me to lead weekly on-campus study sessions with other students in the classes and interactively review course material. Prior to each session, I met with the professor to discuss methods I would implement in order to promote the success of fellow peers. Because I grew up with a brother who has a significant learning disability, teaching is something that I've come to value on a personal level. Throughout my brother's school years, I assisted him with assignments as well as extra-curricular activities so that he could gain enrichment to the best of his ability. Therefore, I've developed patience and an understanding of the uniqueness of various learning styles. I've had the privilege of gaining teaching experience in a wide variety of subjects, and it would be a joy for me to help students achieve success in the biological and physical sciences, algebra, essay writing, and english. I'm a firm believer in self-confidence, and seek to bring that out in my students by helping them fulfill their academic potential. In my spare time, I enjoy doing yoga, painting, playing soccer, and searching for the perfect cupcake.

I am a fourth year medical student currently studying in Houston. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Neurobiology from UT Austin. I have extensive experience in teaching throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate career. During undergrad and medical school, I served as a peer educator teaching biology and anatomy and physiology. After undergrad, I spent one year working as a teaching assistant at a high school, assisting at-risk, ELL, and special needs students with the understanding of Biology. It was one of my most gratifying experiences thus far, as I witnessed my students' progress and how their passion for science and confidence in their own abilities develop hand in hand. I also tutored students one-on-one in preparation for the Biology STAAR retake tests. I feel that recognizing an individual's learning style and adapting my methods of teaching is the key to getting the information across. I understand subjects best when I am truly interested and passionate about it. So, I try to teach my students with that same passion in hopes that I might ignite them not only to absorb the material we are currently studying but to become proactive and go above and beyond the texts. If you haven't guessed already by my choice of major and experience, I LOVE Biology! In addition, I tutor in a wide variety of subjects, including SAT Math, Algebra I & 2, Pre Calc, Physics, Chemistry, and advanced college level sciences. I am also a fervent linguist. I wish to learn as many languages as I can in my lifetime. So far, I am fluent in English and Hindi, hold a strong command of Latin 1 and 2, and an advanced level of fluency in Korean 1 and 2. Outside of academia, I thoroughly enjoy cycling, camping, hiking, and amateur photography. It would be my utmost pleasure to be your tutor and I will work with you to determine what is most suitable for your learning.

I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in May 2016 and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with a sub-option of Neurobiology. I started tutoring 2011 while I was still attending high school, mainly for middle-school and high school math. I also have experience working with elementary school-aged children so I am used to breaking down larger concepts into more bite-sized pieces. My current focus is in the natural sciences, particularly in Biology, which most of my undergraduate education focused on. During my time as a college student, I went through many different trial-and-errors for academic success. I found that the most effective way to learn and memorize a large sum of information in a short time was to make the essential connections between the subject matters. I hope to teach in this manner, helping to connect the dots and impart these habits so that my students can continue to be successful in all academic ventures.

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.

Education has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. On my first day of medical school, we were told that the term "doctor" comes from the Latin "docere" meaning "to teach." Given this enormous responsibility, I find that I cannot help but spread my knowledge that I have attained over my 20 year-long education career.As a medical student, I know how important it is to succeed in school. While in college, I personally was a Varsity Tutors client and found that it brought me much success in my academic success. I wish, now, to pay it forward and impart my knowledge over the topics I consider my speciality.By working with several students over the years, I have developed teaching methods dependent on the type of student I am working with. Having a solid foundation to learn and good study skills is incomparable when pursuing higher education, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I also know learning techniques that will improve long-term retention.While attending the University of Texas at Austin, I majored in biology and completed a certificate program in the foundations of business. I consider the fields of science and math to be my strengths and know how to teach these to improve one's knowledge base. As a 4th year medical student, I have also studied for and taken several standardized exams, including medical licensing exams, and I know that the approach to these is different that an exam for class.Every subject I teach is one I have studied extensively in the past, either through taking Advanced Placement classes in high school, college coursework, or within my medical curriculum. I have worked with several students in the past ranging from preschool to medical student, and have been blessed to see them improve over the course of my tutelage.If you have any questions for me, or would like more information into my credentials, I would love to be of more assistance and look forward to hearing from you!

I am a recent high honors graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in International Relations and Global Studies. I have a general knowledge of most of the world, however my focuses include Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.I know about both history around the world and current events! To supplement these area studies, I studied Mandarin Chinese every semester during my four years of undergraduate studies, along with one year of intensive Arabic, and received excellent grades in all of my language courses. Specifically, I have studied and worked for a brief period in China, where I also lived with a Chinese roommate, and which provided me with invaluable cultural and linguistic knowledge and practice. I also speak Spanish and have ESL tutoring experience with a native Spanish speaker.This student was struggling in his high school courses and falling behind because he didn't understand what was being asked of him in many of his classes, and at the same time, he was wanting to prepare for the SAT. We worked together to figure out what his teachers were trying to convey during his class time (in various subjects, from math to history) and what exactly he was being asked to prepare and complete for various tests, homework, and projects. I used minimal Spanish, only when it was necessary, and I believe that this truly pushed him to learn out of his comfort zone, and he eventually became much more comfortable and confident being surrounding by English, in addition to being able to better understand what was being asked of him in his classes. Once we reached this point, he was better equipped to prepare for the SAT (reading & writing sections), which we did using practice material that he had purchased and brought to our sessions. We worked through some problems together so that I could help him understand the nature of the types of questions that are often asked in such standardized testing, and then he worked on these questions independently, asking questions when he ran into serious confusions or was unable to understand specific material.While I currently only have experience tutoring a Spanish-speaking ESL student, I would also love the opportunity to tutor any foreign-language speaking ESL students! I love studying languages and any opportunity to interact in different languages! In addition to the subjects surrounding my major, I also have a minor-level background in Linguistics.Not only do I offer ESL tutoring, but I also after tutoring for students who would like to start learning Mandarin, Arabic, or Spanish! I am likely to go about this tutoring in ways that are similar to they ways that I began learning, and continued to learn, each language in school because these methods have proven effective in my experience. I have learned that covering reading, writing, and speech evenly is highly important when maximizing your linguistic abilities in another language, and so I intend to practice each aspect with my students. Each language is very different, and therefore requires different approaches in its teaching method. Additionally, some students move more quickly through languages than others, and so I am open to tailoring language tutoring to and individual student's needs.Moreover, as a Liberal Arts major, I developed strong reading and writing skills, along with important analytical skills. I am confident in my ability to help others improve their reading, writing, and analytical skills. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I personally excelled in all of my courses that involved reading and writing. I have an excellent command of the English language, abundant experience peer-editing students writing, and knowledge about a variety of citation formats, such as MLA, Chicago, and APA.I also understand the importance of tailoring edits and feedback to each individual writer based on their level of ability, reasonable goals, and the purpose, or focus, of each specific piece of writing. In addition to general reading and writing improvement, I am also able to assist students in preparing for specific testing formats. Concerning standardized testing, specifically the reading and writing portions of the PSAT and SAT, I have personal experience taking and succeeding in these. Therefore, I understand the preparations that are required to do well on such tests, and I am confident in my ability to teach my students the skills that it takes to be successful.Lastly, I would like to say that I love learning and helping others learn! I don't know you yet, but I am already excited about the prospect of getting to teach you! I understand that each student is different, and so I am flexible and adaptable to all levels of ability and goals.

Before moving to the area, I was a full-time math teacher in Boston for 4 years, where I was in charge of writing and developing differentiated lesson plans based on students' learning types and abilities, while creating an atmosphere that is conducive to student learning and fosters confidence both socially and mathematically. I am able to transfer this to one-on-one tutoring sessions and find the best way to help my students reach their full potential. I am confident in my mathematical knowledge, but even more so in my ability to use hands-on lessons to create an untapped love of mathematics.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in physics and math. I plan on graduating in 2019. Afterwards, I plan on going to graduate school to get a PhD. During college, I have been involved in various outreach events with the Society of Physics students including events like ExploreUT, as well as giving tours in the physics building. I have also done outreach in high school. As a committee member of the Bergen Science Challenge, I was involved in the planning and execution of a county-wide science fair for middle school students at my magnet high school in New Jersey. I like to show to my students why I enjoy learning about math and physics, as there are many interesting things to be learned about how the world works. I greatly enjoy learning about the odd consequences of fields like quantum mechanics and relativity. I have also done tutoring in the past, both independently and through the National Honors Society in my high school. I tutor a large variety of subjects within physics and math, up to and including Calculus. In my academics, I use the majority of physics and math knowledge I have accumulated on a regular basis in my classes, so I know where math and physics concepts are used in higher level classes, as well as how they apply to concepts outside of the subject.

I first began tutoring and mentoring high school and college students when I was an undergraduate studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas. After working with many students I have found that most fall into one of two categories: there are those that are struggling with their studies and need help to reach satisfactory performance and there are those that are driven and ambitious and want to become top performers and bring their abilities to the next level. I truly believe that with some guidance, effort, desire, and discipline academic success is within reach for all students regardless of skill level. My teaching objective is to create a customized, holistic learning experience for each student that seeks to resolve immediate knowledge deficiencies as well as grow their intellectual capacity. I want my students to learn and benefit not only from my academic knowledge of math and science but also grow and gain from my experiences as a graduate from a top university and as a professional with NASA and a Fortune 500 company. As a dedicated life-long learner I spend a significant amount of my free time reading books and materials on a wide array of topics including science, philosophy, business, economics, and history. I love spending time with my family, traveling, and exercising. I'm passionate about solving problems and I truly enjoy helping people win.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese and a minor in Anthropology. In 2016 I was lucky enough to study abroad in Sapporo, Japan, where my interest in participating in our international community began. I'm currently studying in preparation for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT at the N2 level. While I can help students with any subject, I am most passionate about helping students learn grammar structures and verb conjugation. My teaching philosophy is flexible, and I like to try several teaching methods to find what students respond to the most because all students are individuals and don't learn the same way. Language learning can be frustrating, so I also hope to reassure students that any progress is positive. When I'm not studying or teaching, I enjoy watching movies, skateboarding, and going on bike rides.

I am a former middle school math teacher turned stay at home mom. With my previous students and my own children, my favorite part about teaching is seeing a student's confidence boost as they gain understanding. With a desire to keep the lessons engaging, I hope to make learning fun!I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Marketing. From there, I became a 7th and 8th grade math teacher in Fort Worth. Then, I moved back to Austin to teach in 7th grade math in Del Valle ISD for 7 more years. I taught until I had my first child in 2010. Now that I am a mother of 3, I understand that connecting with a child first is very important. This connection helps maintain trust and keeps students motivated.Outside of teaching, I enjoy working out, traveling, trying new foods, reading, and going on adventures with my kids. My background is in teaching math but I also love teaching reading especially to younger children.
