I am a graduate of both Trinity University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Latin, and Brandeis University, where I received my Master of Arts in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies. Between schools and since, I have tried to find personal time to continuing my studies and keeping my skills fresh by translating new works. I have worked with Shelby County Schools as a classroom teacher of Etymology but have found that I thrive much better when working one-on-one with students. I tutor Latin at all levels, with the hope that my students, regardless of their starting skill level, can learn to see the beauty and nuance of the language they are studying. I believe in education as a tool for personal enrichment, and especially the study of foreign languages as a way to understand different ways on thinking and talking about a subject as a means of deeper understanding of that subject. In my spare time, I enjoying reading, learning more about languages (even those I will likely never learn to speak), and cooking.

I am an enthusiastic tutor, and my love of writing is contagious. I recently completed a Fulbright Grant in Kunming, China, where I conducted research on HIV/AIDS policy. Before that, I graduated from Trinity University with a B.A. in Political Science and Mandarin Chinese. As a student at Trinity, I was a peer tutor for an honors course for incoming freshmen. I enjoy working with students on essay writing skills by helping them develop their argument, while focusing on structure and grammar. Writing essays can be a frustrating, daunting experience for some students. It can also be difficult to break out of old formulas and write at the college level. Using my experience with research, persuasive, and expository writing, I help students break down the process into manageable steps. I have always especially enjoyed analysis of literature and politics. I love reading in my spare time, and am excited to hear students' perspectives on literature. I teach tricks to look for and track literary devices, such as color-marking. As a Political Science major, my coursework included courses on the U.S. system, political thought, and international politics. Part of the fun of tutoring is exploring concepts with students through their questions and particular interests. As a Varsity Tutor, I am also excited to share my study tips and tricks. It is hard to keep track of so many classes and projects! An organized workload always seems more manageable, and I am happy to help. Outside of tutoring, you can spot me running on the trail or enjoying some of Austin's awesome live music. Although I have Austin roots, I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and am enjoying being back in the Lone Star State.

I am a recent graduate of Trinity University with a B.S. in Biology. I am going into Physician Assistant school very soon. I love math and science, and I want to make sure every student can thrive in STEM using their own personal strategies.

Prior to teaching, I earned my BA in English and Communications from Trinity University, in San Antonio. I tutor students in Reading and Writing, and believe that learning can and should be fun. I approach each session with an open mind, a sense of humor, and the belief that everyone can learn. My truest passion is for literature and writing. I love working one-on-one with people who either need extra help, or who want to go above and beyond academically. People learn in a variety of different ways, so I try to get to know those I work with, in order to ensure that they are learning in a style that makes sense to them, and that they feel confident in.

Throughout my high school and college years, I loved math and Spanish. I pursued (and received) a minor in mathematics and a second major in Spanish simply because I wanted to continue my studies in both subject areas. I have tutored in the past (both Spanish and math) and enjoy the opportunity to work with students on a one-to-one level. I believe that individual attention can assist the student greatly in learning. After 15 years of working in a corporate environment, I am now a high school math teacher (Geometry) at Incarnate Word Academy.I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 2 dogs, teaching Sunday school at our church, and reading.I look forward to working with you!

I am a physics nerd who enjoys creating frameworks, analogies, and processes to make solving problems as concrete and objective as possible. I enjoy the wonders of strange and counterintuitive scientific facts,events, etc. I know one of my life's purposes is to help others find their success.

I am a high school computer science teacher so I understand how to explain computer science in an easy-to-understand way. I look forward to working with you!

I am a rising sophomore at Trinity University. I am pursuing a major in mathematics and computer science. I am very passionate about science and math, and hope to help others feel the same way. In high school and college I found every opportunity to help others in the areas I felt strong in. I truly love teaching others. In areas some find especially difficult, such as math, I do everything I can to help others understand. By using real world examples and applications for math problems, and simply explaining things in new ways I feel I can impact a students view on math and science, and help them grow to love it like I do.

I believe in a flexible methodology. I believe not everyone learns in the same fashion or at the same rate. This does not mean a student is more or less intelligent than the next or the teacher is always right. There are fundamental methods and approaches that a student must learn when obtaining an education.The difference between a good teacher and a great one is adapting those methods and approaches to each individual. This cannot always be done in a classroom setting, and that is why we have tutors. I may not be the right tutor for everyone, but I'll do my best with everyone and hopefully change a few lives. In the end, this is not just about teaching them a specific subject, it's helping them evolve how they think in order to allow them to attack any subject now and in the future by teaching them how to break things down and approach it in an effective way.

I'm not shy, but if you are it's ok I once was too. I'm a student of the mind and so all of my teachings will be tailored toward each individual or group traits that day. It's ok to fail, but don't allow yourself to quit. Learning is hard sometimes because everyone's brain understands things in a different way. But those differences, when explored, can make learning fun and make complex topics easier to understand. I'm not the old guy who loves hearing his own voice and likes to stand; so I don't lecture. I like to keep teaching/learning process fun, interactive, and creative because no one likes to be bored and confused. So involvement is key!

Hello! Thanks for considering me as a tutor!I started tutoring while I was earning my math degree at Trinity University. Now, I'm retired from a long career in IT at the University of Texas, and am enjoying my next chapter as a math and SAT/ACT tutor.I use a cooperative and positive teaching style that concentrates on building competency and a confident attitude toward the subject matter, letting the student's grasp of the material set the pace so they are neither bored nor overwhelmed, but engaged.

College level coursework can be completely different from that of high school and I am excited to help others make that jump, especially in STEM disciplines. Even if you don't consider yourself to be a math and science person, I believe you can make great progress with the right attitude.I study Engineering Science at Trinity University. I tutor in group sessions for classes like Statics and Dynamics. I've made a list of meaningful study habits and learning strategies that I would like to share.I also graduated high school with an IB Diploma. I am very comfortable with IB Literature (HL), Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge.
