I just graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and I am interested in tutoring math here in San Antonio. I have a fundamental understanding of Geometry, Algebra I and II, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus I through III. When I attended the University of Texas I tutored middle school and high school students in math and science at the Carver Library in east Austin. Additionally, I have tutored close friends taking College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I really do enjoy teaching and I believe I would be a great help to the students here in San Antonio.

Not many people can say that they have a view of another country from their back yard, but I can! Being born and raised in El Paso, Texas, many cultural doors were opened for me at a young age. I grew up with a love for enchiladas, chilaquiles, horchata and Spanish. I have been speaking Spanish since I learned how to speak. I took bilingual classes all through my elementary and middle school years and took advanced Spanish classes in high school. I now aspire to share my knowledge and love for the language with others. I look for fun and creative ways to help my students internalize the language. There are so many ways to practice a foreign language and I would love to share my special techniques with you! Being bilingual has enriched my life in so many ways. I hope that with my help, this beautiful language opens doors in the future for you as well!

7+ Years Tutoring

I am a former high school English teacher with an MFA in Writing from Pacific University Oregon, a BA in English from The University of Texas at Austin, and a lifetime teaching certification for the State of Texas in Secondary English. I spent six years in the classroom and covered all aspects of English/Language Arts. I taught grammar, reading comprehension, test-taking strategies, study skills, writing (including personal narratives, persuasive essays, research papers, creative writing, and essays for standardized tests). I also taught all forms of literature, including poetry, novels, short stories, mythology, Shakespeare, and The Odyssey. I worked in nonprofit education reform and served in an instructional leadership role for a prestigious and rigid alternative certification program. I had the opportunity to work hands-on with new teachers in both elementary and secondary grade levels for both public and charter school systems. I observed, coached, and advised new teachers in their classroom practices, lesson-plan preparations, and implementation of those lesson plans. Teaching is at the core of my unique skillset. I am a well-rounded individual with an ability to relate and connect with students and adults of all ages. This is especially due to my diverse career background, my competitive weightlifting hobby, and my wide love for reading. These things keep me grounded, focused, and dedicated. I love teaching students of all ages and helping them to succeed and to love learning. Teaching requires a unique combination of communication skills, metacognition, patience, and an appreciation for challenges. It is my job to ensure a student can relate to the material, stay focused on the lesson, and discover motivation while working towards the end goal. I want every student I work with to walk away learning something new, to feel a sense of accomplishment, and to experience increased confidence at the end of each session. Finally, I know the best teachers are the ones who understand the importance of being a student themselves. As a result, the more I teach, the more I learn about the subject. This enables me to put myself in my students' shoes and see things from their perspective while also fully understanding the adult perspectives of their teacher and parents. Thank you! Jodi

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.

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 recently left my post as a graduate student and researcher at Stanford University to pursue a career in medicine. My educational journey has been a long one, but I've always loved learning and that love has kept me in school (whether for better or worse :P) for more years than I can count. Though I don't plan on being a student forever, the time that I've spent preparing for college, graduate school, and now medical school has reminded me of how enabling a strong academic record can be.I've been tutoring since I was in high school and have worked with students at every level of education. I specialize in teaching from a very fundamental perspective and in building concepts from the ground up but also enjoy helping students to "just get done" with their homework. Though I'm particularly fond of math and science, I can provide assistance in almost any subject (from Latin to world geography to art history), and can also help in preparing students for standardized tests such as the SAT, GRE, and MCAT.Above all though, my approach to tutoring is simply about having fun and inspiring students to do their best. Assignments and tests are really just chances for students to demonstrate how much they already know, and allowing each student to shine at his or her brightest is what tutoring is all about.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with concentrations in French and Spanish. As the daughter of an educator, I have always had a personal passion for academic success, and have actively engaged in helping students grow into their potential. I was a volunteer peer tutor as a high school senior, always helped my fellow undergraduate classmates, and tutored members of my church community after graduation. After a corporate career, I worked as a high school math and science teacher with a focus on algebra, PSAT prep, earth science, and chemistry. Many of my students were years below grade level, but I found ways to meet them where they were and teach them in ways they could understand. As a parent, I homeschooled our daughter from pre-kindergarten through second grade and have continued to nurture her curiosity for learning. While an area of study may not be every student's favorite, we can all learn something from every subject that helps form us into the people we are destined to become. I hope all my students--no matter their age--learn that they CAN do hard things! In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, cooking, watching documentaries, singing, and listening to music.

Gaurav
Current Undergrad, Finance The University of Texas at Austin
1+ Years Tutoring

As a tutor, my goal is to provide a customized learning experience that will ultimately help students achieve concept mastery and confidence in their own skills.My experiences as both a student and a teacher have helped me understand that everyone has different learning speeds and processes. However, I have found that a learning experience which places a heavy emphasis on communication, structure, and critical thinking can play a significant role in cognitive development and long term skill retention.In my experience, communication is the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to reply promptly to any questions they may have about the subjects we cover. But communication is also a two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so that I can best tailor classes to their needs.In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute tasks that are contingent on their subject mastery. Regardless of if you are solving a complex equation or putting together an essay for college, emphasizing a logical and structured approach improves the competency and speed with which you can accomplish your task.Critical thinking is often underemphasized in the traditional classroom environment. When students are taught specific "tricks" to handle certain types of test questions, the significance of the methods they are learning are often lost. I have found that stressing why certain facts and concepts are important not only improves the retention of those ideas, but also gives students more confidence in applying what they have learned.

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.

Ben
BA The University of Texas at Austin • Doctor of Philosophy, History The University of Texas at Austin
9+ Years Tutoring

I am currently in the final year of my PhD program at The University of Texas at Austin, where I also completed my undergraduate education. During the last decade, I developed expertise in a wide variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences because of my interdisciplinary approach to my studies. As an undergraduate, I triple majored in Government, History, and the self-created major of African Development Studies through the Humanities Honors Thesis Program in the College of Liberal Arts, where I was also a member of Plan 1 Honors (the humanities equivalent of the more well-known Plan 2 program). I also obtained minors in Philosophy and African & African Diaspora Studies, as well as a certifications in Human Rights & Social Justice and European Studies. In May 2013, I graduated a Dean's Distinguished Graduate (one of twelve graduating students selected annually for the College of Liberal Arts' highest honor). By August of the same year, I enrolled in my current program to pursue a degree in African History, with a minor in Global History. I will defend my dissertation on the history of sexual health and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa at the end of this calendar year.I always try to emphasize investing in the education of others as my personal form of gratitude for the many opportunities that propelled my own learning. Mentoring my best friend to the point that I felt his own graduate accomplishments surpassed my own has been one of the most rewarding moments of my life thus far. I possess a profound passion for guiding others to that "lightbulb moment", and I have a long history of experience doing so. My qualifications include: coaching debate and public speaking for over five years, both privately and at Westlake High School in Texas; teaching thousands of undergraduate history students at the University of Texas over the course of five years; mentoring several undergraduate thesis students; designing course curriculum and teaching aids; functioning as an Undergraduate Writing Mentor for a large freshman writing course; and providing - in various official capacities - constructive feedback on many of my colleagues' research and writing efforts.Higher level education in historical topics is almost entirely done through copious amounts of reading and almost all courses conclude with term papers amounting to close to fifty pages in length. The comprehensive exam portfolio that marked my transition from PhD Student to PhD Candidate alone consisted of over four hundred pages of quality written work. My dissertation, once finished, will be similar. Additionally, I have edited and proofread several published academic books. Finally, I am the author of over thirty pieces of written work, including chapters and articles printed by various respected academic publishers. I presented much of this research at conferences all over the world, including a paper which earned the award for the best written work from the University of Alabama in 2014.I possess over a decade of learned expertise in history, and much of my published research is held in high regard by my peers and mentors alike. My undergraduate honors thesis approached history from the direction of political science and political economy, while my current efforts examine the social and political impact of trends in global history and the history of medicine in sub-Saharan Africa. While Africa is my regional specialty, I have also taught classes in both 20th century Texan history and the history of the modern U.S. In 2015, I even taught a seminar on the global history of disease to a collection of AP World History teachers seeking to build curriculum around this topic. Historical education requires a particular style of style of writing which emphasizes the construction of effective arguments and the use of evidence to tie ideas together in a way that is distinct from the type of writing encouraged in other fields. Articulating concepts utilizing this style is by far my most refined skill.I am certainly open to discussing tutoring options further. Because I value quality education, I want to make sure that I am an appropriate fit for any student interested in working with me. This said, the lengthy amount of time I have spent with The University of Texas at Austin has granted me qualifications to educate in topics well outside of the narrow focus of my dissertation research. I have explored topics in the fields of social work, business ethics, philosophy, law, the history of science, and many more. I encourage any inquiries seeking clarification about whether I am able to provide mentorship in any particular field of study.

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.

Hello! I am a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin where I studied nutrition and sociology, and conducted immunology and cancer research. I'm currently in the process of applying to medical school and am taking a gap year to work and spend time with my family. Science and math have always been my favorite subjects. I am particularly interested in chemistry, biology, and algebra because of how interconnected these topics are with one another. I have successfully taken many advanced biology and chemistry courses including genetics, human physiology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and more; I have also excelled in multiple areas of mathematics such as algebra, pre-calculus, trigonometry, and calculus.Teaching and tutoring others has always been a passion of mine; throughout my undergraduate career, I helped many of my peers understand course material by hosting group study sessions or meeting with them individually. I love helping others explore different learning styles and breaking down concepts in ways that make them easier to understand. Between maintaining straight A's, scoring in the 91st percentile in the Chem/Phys portion of my MCAT, and nurturing my scientific curiosities through my research, I have cultivated the skills needed to teach others in a way that is tailored to them.Testing and studying are individual to each of us - what works for one person may not work for another - so I can work with you to create a plan that is personalized to your strengths and weaknesses. In addition, I am more than happy to help you understand your course material, assist with test taking strategies, and share my own tips, materials, and methods that helped me throughout my academic career.

I am freshman at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Biology on the pre-health track. I've always been passionate about helping others, especially when it comes to learning and academic growth. During high school, I took on leadership roles, including serving as a club president, which helped me develop strong communication and mentoring skills. For two years, I volunteered as a teacher assistant at a Korean school, where I supported students in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Korean. This experience deepened my love for education and the rewarding process of guiding students toward understanding. I tutor a variety of subjects, but I'm especially excited to support students in sciences, mathematics, and Korean language learning. I enjoy breaking down complex topics into simple, relatable steps and sharing tips that make learning more approachable. My tutoring style is encouraging, adaptable, and focused on building both skills and confidence. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed with the right support and the right mindset.

I really enjoy working with others and providing people with more resources to become academically successful. Throughout this pandemic, I have seen the consequences of not being able to seek help in person such as feeling overwhelmed and not knowing who to reach out to. Therefore, I want to extend my help virtually to make up for the lack of face-to-face interactions.I am currently a second-year biochemistry major at the University of Texas at Austin, and I am also a pre-medical student. Due to my passions in STEM and the natural sciences, I feel very confident in tutoring areas in Math and Science. I am very enthusiastic when I tutor and love to reassure others of their efforts.

Hi! I am currently a senior at the University of Texas where I will receive my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I have also been accepted into the Doctor of Medicine Program at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. During high school as well as college, I tutored in a variety of subjects including biology, chemistry, mathematics, and the SAT. I'm very passionate about these subjects because I love to think logically, and I think that learning challenging subjects can be very fun! As for my teaching philosophy, I believe that good practice reaps good results. Instead of constantly repeating information, I like to learn and teach topics through practice problems and walking through each mistake that is made. In my spare time, I like to play video game, play pickup basketball, and weightlifting.
