Award-Winning AP US History Tutors serving Round Rock, TX

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern.

...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,...

...in Mechanical Engineering, I am continuing my education with a Master's in the same field. For years, I've helped my friends and siblings with homework for school, and they've always told me that I had a talent for teaching; I understand concepts very easily, and explanations come easy as well. The goal that I work towards for my students is to bless them holistically, both through my academic skills and through any relationship that I...

I'm an experienced teacher and tutor with a Bachelors in English from the University of Alabama and a Masters in Literature and the Humanities from St. Edward's University, looking to help my students share in my love of learning!... The answer is out there. I really do think that, no matter what the problem is, a solution can be found if we all work hard enough!... Discuss what subjects or concepts the student is struggling with,...

...group. I also tutored these same students and others after school and that was often where I got to know them as students the best. I just think it is really important to recognize that every student is an individual, so they should get a unique experience. The tutor and the student should work together to figure out what is best. I tutor all levels of English: reading, writing, and literature; this includes test preparation...

...her knowledge in a particular subject. I have two years of experience teaching middle school and high school English in France, as well as giving private English tutoring to young adults. For three years, I gave private lessons to middle school and high school bassoon students in the Waco and Austin, TX areas. I graduated in 2012 from The University of Texas at Austin with a bachelor's degree in Music Performance. I am bilingual in...

...I derive satisfaction from mentoring young adults and love to see it when my students "get it." My goal is to instill in my clients a love for tough subjects and set them on a path of academic success. I have experience in the California public school system as a long-term 10th grade English substitute teacher, and have taught middle school and high school level history in this capacity. Having passed multiple A.P. exams and...

I am a temporary lecturer at Baylor University, where I teach SPA 1301 and 1302. I graduated from Baylor in 2019 with a Master of Arts in Spanish, where I wrote a thesis on physical and psychological death in the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca. I am graduating from the University of North Texas this summer (2022) with a Master of Arts in...

...of tutoring to change the way a person views education and interprets their own ability to succeed. I hope to help students feel confident in their abilities, and build a strong foundation to work with. I am currently working towards an English degree at UT Austin. It is my best subject, and my favorite to tutor. In my spare time I can be found doing yoga, writing, and reading. In more wintery climates, I am...

...heavily influenced by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences. I like to tailor my lessons to the learning style of the student, especially when dealing with building block knowledge. I also believe that learning should be interactive and exploratory allowing the student to continuously build on existing knowledge. Outside of academia, I love arts and crafts. I knit, sew, and work with clay whenever I have some spare time. I also garden. I love cooking and baking.

...of world history and the places where history takes place. My wife and I are parents of high schoolers, and realize the stakes could not be higher for solid, classical education and learning today - including grammar, the use of the English language - and the application of history, economics, and analytical skills to issues of the United States and the world. My background makes me very familiar with high school curriculum and what good...

...also feel that it is important for all students to develop strong writing skills, no matter what their future holds. This applies not only to history courses, but other subjects as well. The ability to write in a cogent, succinct, and simple manner is applicable across all subjects and disciplines, and more than any other, this is the skill that I hope my students accomplish through working with me as their tutor. As a result...

...about personalized education. I studied English and Film, with a lot of everything else thrown in! As someone who's been stuck in classes that didn't do anything for me, I value the fact that everyone learns differently, and that variety and context, though integral to an engaged learning experience, are often lacking in traditional classrooms. I have remote teaching experience, so I'm looking forward to tutoring a wide variety of students online!... My teaching philosophy revolves...

For example, I have directed the Children's Wellness Foundation, a registered nonprofit dedicated to helping the families of children in the hospital with finances. I have also been involved in research surrounding addiction, learning and memory, and breast cancer, inspiring me to earn my EMT certification! Now, through Varsity Tutors, I am most looking forward to helping students by learning about their problem-solving process and adding on where...

...specialization in the American Gilded Age. As a tutor, I prefer to emphasize critical thinking and technique over memorization. A student who memorizes the answers can pass a test, but a student who knows how to effectively research and problem-solve can excel in anything they do. My goal is to help my students learn critical thinking and to enjoy learning as well as become proficient in their subject. In my free time I enjoy reading,...

...with a focus of going to medical school. I've taken various college courses from psychology to British literature while in high school, so I understand the need to switch to different learning and studying styles with each subject. My personal strengths in subjects include math (algebra 1 & 2), biology, and writing as well. I took a total of 3 college writing courses in high school and also wrote a strong personal statement for my...

...I participated in both choral and instrumental programs throughout my high school and college careers and have sung in Chorus Austin more recently. I am passionate about history, anthropology, human migration, religion, and theology. I love to explore the intersections of the various social sciences. My hope is to help students develop their critical thinking abilities and learn how to ask questions that will enhance their learning. As a tutor, I have work in history...

...the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by listening to the student and finding out exactly the student already knows and what his or her strengths are,...

...back to my school's community, and I've decided to expand my horizons and help more people by coming here. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am at my best tutoring Computer Science and Computer Programming, with Math and Science-based subjects not too far behind. I prefer to give my students the big picture concepts at play in whatever field I'm guiding them though, so that they can discover the solutions to their problems...
