Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Austin

I am a junior at UT Austin studying computational biology on the pre-med track. I currently work as a teaching assistant for Introductory Biology Lab. I have also worked as a research assistant practicing molecular cloning of various diseases. My GPA is a 3.98 and I have extensive experience with any topic related to biology, chemistry, or lower level math. I made a perfect score on the SAT math portion, so I can also tutor in that area. In general, I love to help students discover their own interests and succeed academically!

I am a a current engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin working to get my Bachelors in Environmental Engineering. I have a passion for learning and teaching math. Previously worked at Mathnasium in Dallas Texas.

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S.A in Computer Science, a B.A. in African and African Diaspora Studies, and a minor in Information Studies (Human Computer Interaction concentration). I currently work as a software engineer. I am passionate about education and helping people learn. I had several wonderful tutors on the Varsity Tutors platform, and I am excited to pay it forward and help other students realize their academic potential.

Hello, my name is Miguel. Thank you for browsing my profile. I hope to inspire confidence in whatever subject matter we approach together, boosting student confidence in academic areas and beyond.My teaching philosophy is to use extensive questioning to help students forge their own pathway. Naturally, questions from students are encouraged and valued during all of my sessions. I emphasize a strategy based approach to studying, and keep an updated list of strategies that my students are finding helpful. I prefer to test mastery of material via a role reversal in which I see if the student can teach me how to correctly solve problems and arrive at the correct answers. In my opinion, there is no better way to assess the depth and breadth of one's knowledge than to try to convey it to others.The study habits I hope to pass on to my students are ones that have benefited me throughout my educational career. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and won third place overall in Academic Decathlon state competition my senior year. My academic performance allowed me to attend both Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin, the latter at which I earned a 3.7 GPA, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in English.As for pertinent work experience prior to Varsity Tutoring, I have tutored middle school aged children in English for a year as a part of the PAIR program and helped graduate students from foreign countries practice their conversational English.Please feel invited to contact me and/or ask me your questions. I am able to travel to most of Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs, and my schedule is flexible. I look forward to finding times that both of us can work together. Best regards, and may you achieve your educational goals.

I'm an English as a Foreign/Second Language (EFL/ESL) teacher here in Philadelphia. I am certified and have ten years of teaching experience at home and abroad. It's my job to assess your needs as an English learner, then deliver instruction based on those needs in an enjoyable, effective manner. I'm an easy going guy, but I take learning quite professionally. After all, I study foreign languages too!

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.

As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Physics from The University of Texas at Austin, I have over 5 years of experience tutoring students in subjects such as AP Calculus AB, AP Physics 1, and Complex Analysis. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore concepts deeply. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles, ensuring that complex ideas become accessible and engaging. I am motivated by the satisfaction of seeing my students achieve their academic goals and develop a genuine interest in the sciences. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading about advancements in physics and engaging in outdoor activities, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching.

Hi! My name is Brundha Velaga and I'm a sophmore neuroscience major at the University of Texas at Austin. I'd love to help with ACT Prep as I got a 35 and would love to share my tips! I can also help with biology, chemistry, english (including essay writing), history and even introductory neuroscience!

I have just graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Master's and Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering! I am very passionate about tutoring math and science courses such as physics and calculus, as well as mechanical engineering topics. I am a firm believer in the tutoring process as I have been both the tutor and the student in high school and college! In my spare time I enjoy learning guitar and spending time with family and friends.

I'm passionate about helping students succeed in math and intro to coding by making tough concepts click. I love guiding students through problem-solving and helping them gain confidence along the way.

I'm a University of Texas at Austin graduate with a BSA in Biochemistry. My favorite subjects to tutor are math and science, specifically, I excel at Biology, Chemistry, and any math courses up to Multivariable Calculus.My teaching philosophy is that an excellent teacher should show students where to look, and allow them the opportunity to make realizations and learn. As a person I'm very calm and collected, this shows in my teaching style as I'm extremely patient and have no issues repeating key concepts or explaining things in a different manner.Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis, having played at the varsity level at my high school, and more recently I've become interested in Ultimate frisbee. I played two years during my college career and was the captain for one of those years, and still often play at a recreational level.Hopefully, I can help you understand those few things that are giving you a hard time today!

I currently attend The University of Texas at Austin. I am in pursuit of a degree in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in embedded systems and instrumentation. I have tutored many people over the years, starting in high school. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I have studied chemistry,various levels of math, biology, and coding most recently. I did policy debate in high school and went to nationals a few times. This translated to me receiving a high score in the writing portion of the ACT and SAT. I have done very well so far at UT. I am researcher that has been published in the field of optics. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, cooking and traveling the world.

I am currently at the University of Texas at Austin pursuing a bachelor degree in petroleum engineering. Since January 2016, I have been tutoring Math and Physics at my current college. These two subjects are my favorites because I am proficient. My tutoring style consists in having my students complete some practice problems that encompass the concepts they do not understand in order to identify their needs and help them master what could not before. My interests outside of academia consist in playing soccer and swimming. Also, I like to watch documentaries and movies, to read books, and to go for a walk in my neighborhood.

I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I earned a B.A. in Government and a B.S. in Communication Studies. This fall, I will be returning to my alma mater to pursue a Master of Public Health. Over the course of my undergraduate career, I had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages in language arts, writing, the GRE and study skills. I am very familiar with that overwhelming feeling of anxiety that people can feel when faced with eight empty pages left on an eight page research paper or unsatisfying GRE practice scores. I want students to walk away from a session with the tools they need to tackle an obstacle that previously felt insurmountable, so I take a very hands-on approach to these subjects by actively guiding students through prompts, GRE strategies, and research outlines. I want the student to walk away from each session with a collaboratively created plan of action that will help quell their anxiety and guide their efforts going forward. I take a similar approach to life in my spare time - I love to challenge myself with hobbies like rock climbing, cooking and creative writing. After each successful (or wildly unsuccessful) attempt at something new, I take what I learned and modify my approach to the problem until one day I manage to create something delicious!

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I tutor a variety of subjects! I earned my Bachelor's of Science Degree in Child development at The University of Texas at Austin. My Master's of Education in Educational psychology, specializing in Learning and Development is from The University of Houston, main campus. I've been in the education field for almost 20 years as a teacher, a curriculum specialist and a principal. I've also spent time tutoring and teaching robotics! As a teacher I had the opportunity to teach gifted students and students with special needs.

I teach students from wherever they are, my teaching philosophy is any person can master any subject of knowledge when giving proper and right tutoring and with hard working.Once Upon a Time in very ancient days, a tired and bored boy running away from his private teacher's course went an wondering day trip, he encountered an old man who was scratching a huge thick iron stick on a rock with water, the boy was so curious and asked "what are you doing with this huge thick iron stick, Sir?"The old man said "I am preparing it to become a sewing needle".The boy said "wow, it would take a long time and take a huge effort, doesn't it?"The old man said "well, don't you agree that eventually I will achieve what I desire to?"The boy was so inspired by the words and what he saw, later on he become a famous general in ancient China. What is your thinking on that?

Hi, my name is Nithya! I'm a patient and structured tutor who believes understanding should feel empowering, not overwhelming. My goal is to break complex topics into simple, manageable steps and help students build real confidence in the material. I focus on clarity, consistency, and accountability, while staying flexible to each student's learning style. Whether we're strengthening fundamentals or preparing for an exam, I want every session to leave you feeling more capable and in control.

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in UT Austin's American Studies department. I received my B.S. in Media, Culture and Communication from NYU and my M.A. in Literary and Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon. As a lifelong student, I love to help others enjoy the process of learning and to see their hard work pay off! I'm currently teaching a writing course at UT with the theme, "Americans Abroad." Last year, I taught discussion sections for a UT American literature course, and previously I worked as a teaching assistant for classes on introductory academic writing, U.S. history, and American culture. While I tutor a range of subjects, I especially love demystifying standardized tests and helping students improve their reading and writing skills. I also have expertise in the subject areas of American history and literature. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

My goal as a tutor is to show my students how exciting learning can be. 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 students in any way possible, and I strive to meet this goal in each and every tutoring session.

Hi! I am a 4th year chemical engineering student at UT Austin who with a strong background in mathematics and chemistry. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and adaptable. Rather than simply giving students answers, I like to guide them through the reasoning behind a problem so they can develop the skills and confidence to solve similar problems independently. Whether you need help preparing for an exam, or strengthening your foundation in a subject, I'd be happy to work with you!

My name is Mohima Sultana and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BSA in Biochemistry. I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects and working with individuals from various ages and backgrounds with a specialized background in teaching middle school students. I enjoy teaching math, English, and of course all the sciences! I love languages and love to teach English and Arabic! I love helping students reach their goals and develop new skills! Over the years I have really discovered the importance of individualized learning. We each have our own style, methods and ways of learning and I think it is super important to utilize these individual needs when learning and retaining information. That is why I am super enthusiastic about helping you find the techniques that fit with your needs and making them work for you in reaching your academic goals! As a medical student myself, I have had to find ways to learn and retain information and I can use my experience to help you excel and pursue the knowledge of your dreams! I love watching my students succeed and will do anything to support you in every way that I can to help you be successful!

When it comes to tutoring, my philosophy is that learning should be fun, or at least as painless as possible. My background primarily involves helping liberal arts students experience math and science in a way that makes sense to them. In high school, I struggled with math and science classes and believed that I would never be good at them. After a break of several years, I'm currently in the middle of an undergraduate in Applied Mathematics. I was fortunate enough to have a paradigm shift in the way I perceived myself and the world around me and love getting to share the good news with others: people who prefer reading and making music and art can also do great in their other classes, especially when the math and science is presented the right way.In my free time I like to spin, knit, sew and translate Latin and Old English. I also enjoy comparing the folklore of various cultures, writing music and collecting trivia.

I just graduated from the University of Texas-Austin with a B.A. in Psychology, a Business Foundations Certificate from McCombs, and a minor in German with a GPA of 3.92! I was a straight A student in high school as well, and took all advanced and AP classes. When I was at one of my high schools in Louisiana, the classes were all done online. I managed to finish all of the requirements for high school when I was only 14! Unfortunately, many of my classmates struggled without the presence of a teacher, and I began tutoring them. I tutored students from many different backgrounds in all subjects of high school for over 6 months, and greatly enjoyed it and would like to tutor again.Now, having just graduated with my undergraduate degree, I am looking to begin tutoring as a true mentor, and not as a classmate. I have always excelled in and enjoyed the classroom setting. I scored a 34 composite on my ACT and 2120 on my SAT, and would be happy to help with the challenges of preparing for standardized tests, as well as regular subjects for school. Through the use of your or your child's textbook/test prep materials and problems that I assign for practice, I will make sure that you or your child is fully equipped for success!Both learning and teaching provide me with a great sense of reward, and I am looking forward to tutoring (and learning from) you or your child.

I'm a computer and social scientist. I hold graduate degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago and earned my bachelor's at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, I research ways the natural sciences can be used to advance the study of anthropology and history. I am currently completing my PhD.

I am currently a freshman majoring in International Relations and Global Studies at University of Texas at Austin and a graduate of Singapore American School. I learned French after attending a local school in France, and in my sophomore year, I received a 5 on AP French. For Chinese, I completed the highest level of HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test). Additionally, as a member of both Chinese Honor Society and French Honor Society, I have tutored high school and middle school students in both languages. While I mainly tutor French and Chinese, Im also interested in tutoring for AP Capstone (AP Seminar and AP Research). For my AP Research paper, I studied linguistic relativity, which is the idea that language affects thought. Whether it be tutoring languages or research, I believe that it is most important to have the students goal in mind. In my free time, I like to draw and run.

I have been a teacher for ten years. I have taught at eight different schools and thrive in mostly the Humanities. While a high school teacher at heart and by profession, I have also worked with elementary age children with learning differences.

I've just moved back to America after spending nearly 3 years teaching English in Japan. It was an amazing experience and I really learned to enjoy and appreciate the small class sizes our school offered (from 1 to 6 students). I think one-on-one lessons are very beneficial for students, and I would love to continue teaching here. Before leaving for Japan, I enjoyed working as a susbitute for Katy ISD. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in history, and I also feel very comfortable teaching grammar, reading, writing, editing, and Japanese. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading books, riding my bike, or watching any of Houston's great sports teams. Go Texans!!

I believe the key to successful teaching is getting to know each learner and finding out what interests them and how they best learn.I graduated from UT Austin, and hold a current teaching certificate. I am passionate about teaching and have experience teaching and tutoring learners from diverse backgrounds and ages. I will strive to create interesting lessons or tutoring help that caters to your unique need.

I wish to carry on the legacy of the many great teachers that equipped my mind to discern greater truth for itself by aiming to pass on my passion and love of learning to as many students as possible.With that said, the greatest reward of my classical education has been not what I have learned but how it made me feel and where that feeling has lead me to a more complete and fulfilling existence.Within the context of the rapidly changing modern world, many lessons of the past are being foolishly forgotten that can serve us genuine good. Among the worst of such losses is, in my opinion, the richness of our connections to each other and to our world at large. However, what is remembered upon reading the classics is that the human mind creates its own posture, for the ancients were as brilliant as us but in different ways. They lived lives with the same fears and ambitions that drive us today and the same capacity for emotion and intelligence.If I can teach students to understand this more fully, I believe they may become better humans within our society and develop a heightened sensitivity to each other that will further their own learning

I obtained my physics Ph.D at the University of Florida, and my BS in math/physics at the University of Texas at Austin. I tutor topics in both math and physics. Physics and math are my passion. I enjoy using math to explore/explain how things work and help my students develop strategies to reason independently.

I received my B.S. in Biology from the University of Texas at Austin, my M.A. in Medical Sciences from Boston University, and am currently a medical student in Virginia. In addition to my educational experience, I have nearly five years of work experience in the biomedical field.My expertise lies in the life sciences and standardized testing. I have tutored the MCAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE. I understand the importance of attaining high scores on standardized exams, as these often can open up many great educational and professional opportunities.In my spare time I love to play basketball and travel. I truly enjoy reading about history and the social sciences, and feel that these are areas in which I can also provide helpful instruction.

I joined Varsity Tutors to be part of the educational journey for students. I believe that any student can become a grade A student with help of a tutor or a mentor. Through my tutoring experiences, I have been able to see students go from failing classes to understanding and discovering new concepts in classes. I am able to relate to students, as I was a student myself. Education is a key element for success later in life and if we do not provide a strong backbone for our kids, they will not be able to achieve the goals or hopes they have. A classroom setting might not be enough for a child and with the extra tutoring they are able to get the confidence they need to excel on tests and in classrooms. My tutoring methods are unique because I am able to connect with students via sports, video games, running, and other hobbies.

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 am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a focus on positive psychology. This education, as well as the time I spent teaching children at a local church, revealed to me the important role quality education and a love of learning have in boosting a child’s well-being. As a life-long learner myself, I genuinely enjoy imparting this appreciation for education and watching my students flourish as a result. Perhaps not surprisingly, my favorite subjects to tutor include study skills and test preparation, as the material taught can be more clearly applied across subjects and in other areas of the student’s life. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, traveling, reading about current research in the social sciences, and meditating.

I am a biochemistry student at the University of Texas at Austin, looking to help elementary school aged kids and above reach their academic goals. I have experience with children and teaching through years of nannying and coaching gymnastics. Through psychology and educational psychology classes I have taken as an undergraduate, I have a firm grasp on self-regulation, motivation, and goal-setting pertaining to academics. I look forward to helping you or your kids to feel successful in all of their academic endeavors.

I completed MBA in CyberSecurity in 2018. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Computer Science in May 2014. I am a software engineer during the day and love everything having to do with math, science, and computer science. My reason for wanting to become a tutor outside of my day job is to help educate the minds of the future. Learning outside of the classroom is very important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many ages and learning levels. I started tutoring in high school with one student and, by word of mouth, received more students. I was a tutor in college for math and computer science. I look forward to working with each student and prepare lessons based on each students individual needs. Please allow me to be a part of your educational experience!
