Award-Winning SAT Writing and Language Tutors serving Austin, TX

...Studies. I plan to continue my education and get a Master's in Public Policy. My tutoring philosophy partially comes from what worked with me, but it also from my experience working with students. I worked in a high school as an interventionist working with small groups of students. Although, they were considered to be at the same level that did not necessarily mean that my lesson plan would work for everyone in that group. I...

...learned early on that you know the material well if you can fully explain a subject to a person and have them understand the topic as a result. Helping my peers became a way for me to solidify my understanding of topics. I have found that I enjoy explaining things to others as much as I love learning about the material in the first place. I also discovered that the best way to explain topics...

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin. As such, I am very interested in math and science. I know some classes and tests can be a grind, so I want to help others to get through it and do well. I can tutor various subjects, such as Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Physics, SAT, and PSAT Prep.

...entire subjects like math and science. I attempt to give students the ability to think critically, relish the problem solving process, and come to solutions on their own. To this end, I attempt to speak clearly and concisely, to make high-level concepts accessible to students of all ability levels, and to create strong personal relationships with my students. I am currently accepting students in all math subjects through the high school level, standardized test preparation...

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. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is...

...and Philosophy, while also pursuing pre-medical studies. In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics,...

...student, that's where a tutor comes in! I'm a strong advocate for Carol Dweck's growth mindset theory of education, encouraging students to learn and grow from their mistakes rather than becoming discouraged and giving up. When I was in high school, I struggled a lot with math, and this caused me to view myself as a failure. Working with my own tutors and teachers helped me realize that I am capable of overcoming difficulties through...

...Through enthusiasm and a genuine love for math and the sciences, I hope to influence my students to adopt this same passion for learning so that they are motivated to continue learning new material during their high school and college years. I have been tutoring for years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience I have gained and the friendships I have made with other students. My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my...

...my university I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability to think about problems is not limited to mathematics and, if mastered, will stay with the student for the...

...in Biology. While in high school, I tutored Competition Math. More recently, I spent many months tutoring groups of highschoolers in Geometry to prepare them for their TAKS exams. I have also given one-on-one Calculus tutoring to several college students, as Calculus is my favorite subject. Since I love math in general, I tutor many subjects from Algebra II to SAT/GRE Test Prep. I like to be very patient and encouraging with my students, because...

...also enjoy doing test prep -- tests can be a fun challenge for the student, and I love helping students to see it that way! I believe that any subject can be fun if you look at it in the right way. I am an English geek, in love with all aspects of language, and I've been told that my enthusiasm is infectious. My second love is the theatre, and I am active in the...

...summer teaching in China. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Language Arts Writing, and Critical Thinking. In my experience in helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I see a lot of progress in all subjects when I weave in games with skills practice. I am a big proponent of individualized lesson plans that focus on the child's strengths, interests, and areas that need improvement. In my spare...

...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...

I am a Psychology/Human Dimensions of Organizations Plan I Honors student at the University of Texas at Austin. While attending high school in Rye Brook, New York, I tutored middle and high school students in a variety of topics. I enjoy tutoring in all ELA subjects as well as psychology, Spanish, test prep, essay editing, and study strategies.

...with a degree in Plan II. While at UT, I did a creative thesis, which ultimately resulted in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that...

...tutoring Chemistry, Biology, and math, though I prefer biological sciences as my field is microbiology. I typically work with high school and college students but have some experience with younger students. For those that wish to improve and understand concepts better, I will gladly use creative problem solving to find a way to relate a concept in terms the student will grasp. I have completed research projects involving wildlife and antibiotic resistance and even giving...

...encourage students to memorize answers rather than truly learn the subject. I challenge my students to think outside the box in order to unlock greater comprehension and, more importantly, better grades. I got my Bachelor of Arts in the David Letterman School of Communications at Ball State University where I got to produce full-length albums for local bands and make fun short films with my friends. I also minored in Spanish and have enjoyed teaching...

Math problems can be really hard, I know this well! I will help you to understand math problems in a step-by-step way, so that you not only complete your assignments, but also come away with a deeper understanding of the material.

...Shanghai I also worked as an independent ESL tutor. From March 2012 to May 2012 I volunteered to teach English as a Second Language to Spanish-speaking immigrants with a local NGO in Cordoba, Spain. I am fluent in Spanish, have an intermediate knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and have studied Portuguese, Romanian, French, Arabic and Korean. Teaching in foreign countries has helped me to understand the value of developing a rapport with students (even across cultural...

...student, for reconstructing understanding in a way that makes sense. Furthermore, my intention is always to instruct with sustainability in mind, so that regardless of how a classroom teacher might present a concept, a student will be able to apply what was learned during our time together. If your student is struggling in any way with writing, critical thinking, literary analysis, or reading comprehension at the middle or high school level, I am confident in...
