Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

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'm passionate about helping students because I enjoy mathematics and like to put my interest to good use. I tutored middle and high schoolers during my four years of high school, helped students go over tests in calculus, and taught tricks for mental math as captain of the Math UIL Number Sense team my junior and senior years of high school. I graduated from Cypress Ranch High School in 2020 and am currently pursuing a Mathematics degree and Computer Science Certificate at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor many types of math, and I enjoy them all equally because I like the tricks that can be used in each subject. I approach tutoring as a way to get to know the student and help them where they need it. I like to use icebreakers to make them feel more comfortable, then understand their approach to solving problems and figure out how I can help.

Hi everyone! My name is Narmeen and I would love to tutor you! I have an Economics degree from UT Austin and I enjoy everything math and writing related. I have had over 6 years of experiences working with students in different capacities. Most recently, last spring I was teaching English to local students at a farm school in Madrid! Additionally, I have worked at both Kumon and Mathnasium where I tutored students from addition and subtraction to Algebra. I have also worked with students on their College Application essays and have gotten into several great universities as an undergrad from Northeastern, Boston University, and NYU. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions and I look forward to working with you! Best, Narmeen

My life experiences to date have taken me across four continents. I was born in India before spending my formative years in Algeria and England, before again traveling westward, to North America, where I expanded my global perspective in French-speaking Montral and multicultural Texas. The longitudes and latitudes that I have traversed in a quarter-century have instilled in me an irrepressible thirst for discovery, while the breadth of my experiences made me confident that I could make a meaningful in my community.I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and will be continuing my studies in International Finance and Economic Policy at Columbia in August. Until then, I am free to tutor/teach in any capacity that I can.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from The University of Texas at Austin, I have over 2 years of experience helping students excel in subjects such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where I tailor my teaching methods to meet each student's unique needs. I am passionate about making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging, which not only boosts academic performance but also inspires a genuine interest in the subject matter. I look forward to empowering students to achieve their academic goals and develop a love for science.

As a dedicated tutor currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, I have over 2 years of experience in tutoring subjects ranging from Elementary School Math to Calculus 2. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. I strive to connect with each student, tailoring my approach to meet their unique learning styles and needs. My passion for mathematics drives me to help students not only understand the material but also appreciate its real-world applications. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy solving engineering challenges and exploring new technologies, which further enriches my teaching perspective. I am available to help students earn high SAT scores, understand math from elementary subjects up to Differential Equations/Linear Algebra, and science subjects, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Also, I can give great college application support for those applying for scholarships, colleges, and other resources.

I am especially passionate about teaching English Language Arts and Reading because strong reading and writing skills form the foundation for learning in every subject. I enjoy helping students strengthen reading comprehension, analyze literature, and develop writing skills that allow them to clearly express their ideas. My goal is to help students move beyond simply completing assignments to truly understanding and engaging with what they read. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and adaptable. I believe every student learns differently, so I work to meet students where they are and break challenging concepts into manageable steps. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence in their abilities.

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'm a bright, motivated person who loves to learn and loves to pass that learning along. I served in the military out of high school, and then spent 15 years in IT, moving up the ladder from technical support to systems administrator to network engineer. I attended college whenever I could throughout my time in IT, however, and last year I left the IT world to attend the University of Texas full time; I'm currently a junior, pursuing a B.A. in English, and will move on to an M.F.A in creative writing after graduation.My great love is reading and writing, and I'm looking forward to working with others and helping them develop their own appreciation for the joy that can be found in the written word, both in consumption and in creation. I'm also enthusiastic about history and science, and of course, if you're hoping for a career in IT I'm happy to get you started.

Hello, I'm Atharva and I attend The University of Texas at Austin! I am currently majoring in computational engineering, which is essentially a mix of math, computer science, and aerospace engineering. I have worked as a math tutor for around 3 years, and I have seen students improve their scores significantly in their classes and standardized tests. I especially enjoy tutoring math since I strongly believe it can be very interesting if taught in an engaging way rather than straight out of a dull textbook. I believe I have this ability to make my tutoring sessions more interactive and productive, and I love being able to help students understand the intuition behind the concepts they learn in class instead of making them simply memorize them.I have taken all math courses up to Calculus 3 and excelled with As in every single one, so I have ample experience in not only working with the subject, but also working with students struggling with the subject. I have also worked with students preparing for their standardized exams such as the SAT and ACT and have seen scores improve dramatically.Overall, sharing my knowledge with others is one of my biggest passions since it gives me the opportunity to convey information by constructing it in my own, unique way that optimizes the student's learning. If you need help with any level of math up to Calculus 3, you have found the right person :)

I am passionate about helping students feel confident and be successful in their learning! As a student at UT Austin with broad experience in science, lab work, research, and mentoring, I truly understand how important it is to connect what is happening in the classroom to real-world scenarios. I've been a tutor for three years now, which has taught me that every learner approaches challenges differently. I hope to create an environment where all students feel supported and excited to learn.

I am a University of Texas student pursuing a BSA in Mathematics, I am passionate about being a leader and a mentor, I love working with people! I was an orientation advisor for two summers, where I gave students support and advice when it came to class preparation and registration. This allowed me to pass my knowledge of mathematics classes and the college class experience overall to new students. I also love mathematics because it allows me to do work using a problem-solving approach and develop a great sense of logic. I am really interested in applied mathematics, using math for real-world situations! Subjects I feel very strongly about are discrete mathematics, algebra, linear algebra. My tutoring philosophy is to help students help themselves, as this will boost their motivation and confidence, and to be a friend to them as well as a mentor.Also if for some reason my internet is choppy or crashes in our session early on, I will try to make sure you get refunded!

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!

Hello! I'm Samantha Erlich, a junior at The University of Texas at Austin majoring in Human Dimensions of Organizations. I have over two years of tutoring experience and specialize in ACT preparation, AP English Language and Literature, and public speaking. My goal as a tutor is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and building confidence in their skills. I'm passionate about helping students understand challenging material and grow as thinkers and communicators. Outside of tutoring, I love reading, writing, dancing, and spending time with friends. I'm excited to help students reach their academic goals!

Hi, my name is Beau, and I am studying for my Bachelor's in Computer Science at the University of Texas. I spend a lot of my time learning, and most of my time in high school, was either studying for the 17 total AP exams I took, or studying for Academic UIL competitions and Science Bowl. I spend a lot of my time in class, or learning outside through self study of what I'm interested in, like other computer science languages, or different real world science and math problems.

Making learning easier with better approach tailored to each student's unique learning ability and style.

My 20 years of experience as a High School classroom teacher of Spanish and Russian has allowed me to grow toward a level of mastery in the teaching of young adults that has resulted in immeasurable student growth. My National Board Certification is evidence that my peers agree. My work at two early college high schools has allowed me to become an Instructional Technology coach for my peers, our students, their families, and the administration of our campuses. My experience in language acquisition as a language learner and pedagogy as a teachers and tutor using the natural method gives me the insight into the learning process needed to be a master teacher and tutor of English, Russian, and Spanish. I also help with SAT preparation.

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!

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 just recently graduated from college. I enjoy tutoring, and have done a lot of it throughout college. I have a lot of experience with breaking any hard concepts down to small and simple junks that are easy for students to grasp. I can help with any topics in math and science, college prep, and both ACT and SAT standardized test.

I graduated from UT Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. I also strongly enjoy Calculus. For many years, I have tutored friends and classmates in both of these subjects. After graduating, I worked for three semesters as a full time Specialist Teaching Assistant within the chemistry department at UT, and had the privilege to teach my own students everything I know about chemistry. I enjoy teaching because it allows me to share my favorite subjects with other people. I feel that it is important for first time learners to receive their education from those who are not only knowledgeable, but also passionate about the subject matter. It is this quality of education that I want to provide for all of my students.

I teach high school mathematics at an Austin area high school. I love teaching and I love math! My students think it's weird, but my desire is for them to love math a little bit more than when they start working with me. I am confident that everyone is able to learn math, and I feel blessed to be able to help them along in their journey! My favorite subject to teach is Algebra. I love how everything works together, and how students get great opportunities to further their problem solving skills!I graduated in 2011 with a mathematics degree with a teaching option from the University of Texas in Austin. I was a part of the UTeach program which began at UT Austin and has been replicated in over 20 major universities because of its effectiveness to produce quality teachers. I am honored to be a UTeach Alumni. I am also a certified high school mathematics teacher in the state of Texas. My university education and experience make me a highly qualified tutor.Yet, I wouldn't say my qualifications on paper are my greatest assets. I truly want to see all of my students succeed and grow as people and as learners. My personal commitment to my students is the greatest thing that pushes them to greater levels of learning.

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 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 am an engineer by trade, and I've been playing chess for over a decade. I am rated 1822 USCF, and I have coached students from kindergarten all the way to 50+ years old! And if I've learned one thing, it's that anyone can win if they are willing to apply themselves! My goal in teaching is that my students improve their chess strength, and learn to love the game of chess. All of my students will leave with a solid opening repertoire, tactical prowess, and positional savviness!

I am a strong believer in continuous learning that translates into better practice, right now, while enabling skills that will get students employed. I think that we should have a little fun trying it while working hard. Every person has a brave soul that will be discovered and will succeed.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and minored in Mathematics. Upon graduating, I moved to Dallas to begin working as a financial professional with Prudential, a career that allows me to combine my love for problem solving and directly interacting with individuals to help improve their lives. I grew up with a mom who teaches middle school math and she instilled a love for both the subject and helping others that has stuck with me to this day. During my time in college I gained experience tutoring both middle and high school math and economics, along with college level calculus. I enjoy getting to help students overcome struggles in their work, and have found that it is often encouragement and direction most needed to help them succeed. I firmly believe that education is necessary for improving the quality of ones life and enjoy getting to help others in a way that will impact the rest of their lives. During my spare time, I enjoy reading on a wide variety of subjects and genres, along with running, spending time outdoors, and watching basketball, baseball, and football.

I am a recent graduate of The University of Texas with a major in psychology and a minor in Italian studies I am passionate about learning in and outside of the classroom. It brings me joy to see people gain new understandings, and I am excited about the opportunity to help people in this process.Subjects I tutor include algebra, geometry, statistics, and writing. Math is one of my favorite subjects because I think working with numbers is like completing a fun puzzle. In the past, I have tutored a kindergartener in phonics and two middle schoolers in math and English.

I am currently a Senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in the Biomedical Engineering program at The University of Texas at Austin. I am also a pre-medicine student and plan to attend Medical School after graduation. I have had the opportunity to work at Kumon Learning Center as the Lead Assistant. During this time, I tutored all levels of math but specifically focused on advanced math i.e. Calculus. Additionally, I have served as a private tutor in the past as well. I tutor a broad range of subjects, however, I am most passionate about math and science. Being a student in STEM and a STEM mentor I am hope to motivate and inspire students to show that these subjects are nothing to be afraid of and are something they are capable of doing. My teaching philosophy stresses fundamentals to build on a solid base and be able to apply your knowledge and skills and develop critical thinking skills. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching sports such as Basketball and Football as well reading and listening to music.

I have previous experience tutoring 5th grade students in math, science, and reading comprehension, in preparation for the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), which was a previous standardized test in the state of Texas. My students at that time consistently gave me feedback that they understood concepts that they were previously struggling with, after having a tutoring session with me.My educational background consists of completing a master's degree in clinical medical sciences (physician assistant studies) and completing a bachelor of arts degree in biology. I previously worked as a physician assistant for almost 2.5 years in the specialties of primary care and oncology, and truly enjoyed taking care of patients. I consider myself to be hardworking, patient, friendly, and great with children. I was born and raised in Houston, TX and love to spend my free time with my family and friends, volunteering, and studying spirituality.

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 completed MBA in CyberSecurity in 2018. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Computer Science in May 2014. I am a software engineer during the day and love everything having to do with math, science, and computer science. My reason for wanting to become a tutor outside of my day job is to help educate the minds of the future. Learning outside of the classroom is very important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many ages and learning levels. I started tutoring in high school with one student and, by word of mouth, received more students. I was a tutor in college for math and computer science. I look forward to working with each student and prepare lessons based on each students individual needs. Please allow me to be a part of your educational experience!

My name is Mohima Sultana and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BSA in Biochemistry.

I am passionate about helping students unlock their potential by breaking down challenging concepts and fostering a deeper understanding. My goal as a tutor is to create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel supported in their learning journey.

I grew up in Minnesota and went to college in Madison, Wisconsin. While those are nice places, I love Texas and have no intention of living in that cold weather again. I moved to Austin seven years ago for graduate school, where I received a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature. During school I taught English literature, Spanish, and Portuguese. My strengths are definitely writing, literary studies, and foreign languages. My studies also branch into the social sciences such as History and Political Science (my B.A. is in the latter).I enjoy teaching in the classroom, but really appreciate the one-on-one dynamic of tutoring. The constant direct communication allows the student and tutor to focus on precisely what the student needs to learn or what skills they could most benefit from improving. Most of my tutoring has been with college and high school students, but I have worked with elementary and middle school aged students as well.My picture was taken at Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, and in my free time I like exploring Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado by car. I have a water-loving dog, so I try to bring her camping as much as possible. My other major hobby is music: I play guitar and (not very well) piano. I also watch a lot of comedic tv shows, movies, and stand-up.I look forward to working with clients on courses and skills of the Humanities, from basic reading and writing to literary analysis.

I grew up speaking English and Spanish. I obtained my Bachelor's of Arts from the University of Texas in 2003. I majored in Spanish and minored in English. I also obtained my TESOL in 2018. I first started tutoring English when I was in college. I worked on campus in their tutoring center. I really enjoyed this. Next I worked as a Bilingual Substitute Teacher with the school district. I did this for many years and have extensive experience in many grade levels. For a while I also worked as a Spanish and Portuguese teacher for a language school. Recently, I have been teaching ESL online for almost three years. With smaller children I try to be more fun and engaging. I like to adapt to a students personality. Some are very outgoing and others have a more quiet nature about them. It is important to make them feel comfortable.

I'm a physician.I am a tutor who is devoted to continue working with students to help them learn to learn on their own. I want my students to gain academic confidence and the skills necessary to master any subject, using tutors as a tool to help them grow and develop in the scholarly world.My experience working with students is diverse. I have been a TA for three years, working with students in Introductory Biology, Biostatistics and Evolutionary Biology. Furthermore, I have worked as a tutor for students from primary school to college, and I have worked as a test prep instructor for a major test prep company.As a student, I have learned from amazing professors at both UTSA and UT Austin and have earned a BSA in Biology with two minors: psychology and business. I graduated in December of 2015 with High Honors.A core component of my education has been taught through research; thousands of hours of my time have been spent in research labs.Although my primary focus as a tutor lies in the sciences, I have broad experiences that allow me to work with students who need help in many different subjects, from social sciences to English, math, and test preparation.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. I am currently applying to medical school, and hope to enroll in the Fall of 2018. As a student at the University of Texas, I was a teaching assistant for the Universitys introduction to Psychology course, and led study sessions for upper-level science courses such as Cell Biology and Neural systems. I tutor a wide variety of subjects, primarily within the sciences and Psychology. I enjoy being able to help others understand difficult concepts that they may encounter in the classroom, and turn confusion into excitement about the content they're learning.Outside of academia, I am a very active person. I enjoy hiking, running, lifting weights, and swimming when I get a chance. In fact, I got a chance to compete at the USA Weightlifting Collegiate National Championships in 2016! I am also interested in cooking and experimenting with different recipes to see what might work and what might not.
