I have over ten years of experience in higher education student support, to include several years of teaching and tutoring. I love to support students and provide "tricks of the trade" to help them crack the toughest test questions.I believe every student has the potential to learn and that the teaching/learning relationship requires 100% effort from the teacher and student. Because each student learns differently, it's important for educators to quickly learn their students' learning styles so they can adapt the material and the approach to best meet the students' needs.I teach with care and patience. The best part of teaching is helping a student to independently solve problems. I will work with students relentlessly to help them be successful.

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 a graduate of Trinity University with a B.S. in biology and a minor in spanish. I am available for tutoring in math and science courses, as well as beginner spanish and ACT prep. In my tutoring experience, I have primarily worked with high school students in science and math courses, and have really enjoyed the opportunity to encourage enthusiasm for their classes during these sessions. I work to help my students understand the material at a conceptual level so that they can build upon what they have learned in the future, and also focus on organization in problem-solving methods. Outside of tutoring, I study physical therapy at UCD and spend my free time running and hiking with friends.

I am a passionate student who upholds the philosophy that all who can teach must know how to learn. I don't believe there is any correct way to learn; knowledge is amorphous. Therefore, my mission is to immerse myself in rigid information and transform it into fluid knowledge. I hope to gift what I learn to others through teaching.

For over 10 years, I've helped students who feel stuck or overwhelmed in math, reading, and writing gain confidence and master foundational skills through clear, step-by-step instruction that finally makes learning click.

I am a recent graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas with a B.S. in Neuroscience cum laude. I am living in Austin until I begin medical school in July. Tutoring has always been a hobby of mine, and I continued my passion for teaching during college by being the Peer Tutor for a Statistics course and a Biology course at Trinity. Additionally, I tutored middle and high school students in the San Antonio community while working for a company similar to Varsity Tutoring. My favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the light-bulb moment happen for my students when they finally grasp a concept they???ve been struggling with. Usually with my students and as a student myself, I find that explaining concepts in a different way with language that is more understandable or connecting it to real-world experiences goes a long way. As a competitive swimmer for the past 15 years and the captain of my college team, I understand the desire students have for excelling in both the classroom and in their extracurricular activities and the struggle that can occur between balancing them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family and my dog, and cooking!

I received my Bachelor of Arts in History from Trinity University in 2020. I earned my Master of Arts in History in May 2022 at Texas Christian University. Currently, I am a PhD student. Upon graduating, I hope to become a university professor and academic historian. During the school semester, I am also a Graduate Teaching Assistant for the History Department. This opportunity allows me to spend much time either working one-on-one with undergraduate students or in front of classrooms teaching history lessons. I enjoy discussing history and helping students see the ways it's more than dates and events. So much of history is being able to communicate your ideas and put together a solid argument for your interpretation of the past. Since everyone knows how history turns out, the classroom is somewhere to discuss or debate why events occurred. By association, writing is a passion of mine, and I spend much time doing it for my own grad courses and dissertation research.

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.

Although my life has taken me on many adventures, I have always known I wanted to be a teacher. I graduated from Trinity University with a degree in French and International Studies having spent a semester of my junior year studying abroad in Paris. I then earned my Master of Arts in Teaching degree in Elementary Education, which included a full year internship teaching at an elementary school. I still knew that I loved teaching, but I also felt drawn back to French, so I pursued a PhD in French literature at UT Austin. During that time, I worked as an teaching assistant for a Freshman composition course and taught the first two levels of college French for two years. I also researched in Paris for another semester. More recently, I have worked for two years as a tutor, both in person and online, in French, Essay Writing, and Test Prep. I have 5+ years of teaching experience with all ages, elementary through graduate school, in French, Writing, and elementary school subjects. I strongly believe that there is no one way to learn, and that tutoring should fit each student's individual needs and interests.

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.

Currently I am a MA/MS student at Brandeis University's Heller School of Social Policy. I graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX with a double major in International Studies and Spanish and a double minor in Geology and History. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Zambia from January 2012-2014 as a grade 5-9 English teacher in an underprivileged school. After school, I led twice weekly test prep sessions for 9th grade. These prep classes covered topics in English, Civics, Geometry, Algebra 1 and Geography. In addition to teaching and conducting test prep, I also individually tutored elementary students in reading and phonics, and led weekly adult literacy classes.I am a great tutor because I genuinely care about my students. Also, I have the patience, ingenuity and compassion to help the student improve in the subject they are struggling with. For example, the year prior to my arrival at the school, only 5% of the 9th grade passed on to 10th grade. However, the following year, thanks to our prep classes and the students dedication, 85% of the students passed. This dramatic improvement proves my ability to help students achieve in the classroom.

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.
