My sole goal is to see my students succeed and feel better about themselves. As a student who has been tutored before, I understand how important it is to build a bond with my students. Whether it be academic or social, I will always be there for them. My impeccable skill in teaching Math and ELA has allowed me to mentor several students with successful results. In addition, my experience as a certified tutor has provided me with the chance to teach students from all age groups and areas.

I am an educator with over two decades of classroom experience. While my main objective is to expose students to new materials and ways to process the information so it will be retained, my style is to present that material in a fun, engaging way. Looking to learn while having a good time? I'm the tutor for you!

Hi! I'm Amanda, a current computer science student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I heard about Varsity Tutors through a friend, and am excited about the opportunities it affords.A little bit about me - I've been volunteering at the Perot Museum for five years now, and am active in my college's pep band, as I've been playing the flute for nine years. I enjoy reading, too.

I have 15 years of experience in the computer science industry and am an avid public speaker. I have given numerous talks at conferences around the world. I am particularly excited about breaking down difficult topics into easy to understand sessions. My career spans working at the industry's most established companies.

My tutoring career formally began six years ago--since then, I have been gradually developing my own personalized collection of tips and tools for effective learning in a large range of disciplines.My journey began in high school as a tutor for a handful of middle school students struggling with mathematics. The private sessions instilled within me an appreciation for the power of conceptual connections. I found that each individual student's network of knowledge was vastly different, and so the connections they drew in order to arrive at solutions differed as well. It became my goal and pleasure to guide these students along their own intellectual pathways towards a better understanding.During my undergraduate career at the University of Texas at Dallas, I continued to fortify this skill. Employed by the on-campus Student Success Center as both a Peer Tutor and Supplemental Instruction Leader, I led sessions for advanced engineering mathematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, physics, and calculus. Through these programs, I was introduced to new methods for helping students attain their own understanding of course materials with only minimal guidance from myself. These methods relied upon the fact that, oftentimes, students already possess the foundational knowledge to arrive at correct conclusions--they simply lack the confidence and/or the roadmaps to get there. That's where I come in.After finishing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering last May, I moved back to the Raleigh-Durham area to continue my education at Duke University for an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. As aforementioned, much of my tutoring experience has been in STEM fields (calculus, physics, chemistry, etc.)--but as a student who has prepared for, agonized over, and ultimately suffered through the SAT and GRE standardized tests, I would love to be able to impart my own knowledge and strategies for these as well.If it's nice out and I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a passionate elementary school teacher. I specialize in PK-2nd grade curriculum in ELA and math. However, I am capable of teaching and tutoring through sixth grade.

I am very passionate about teaching and I truly want to make differences in the students' lives. I am an enthusiastic person who knows math well ranging from Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Pre-calculus to AP Calculus AB and BC. I am excited to start your math journey with you.

Hi, I'm Kenzie! I'm a Mechanical Engineering student at UT Dallas and I've been tutoring online for 4 years now. My favorite subjects to teach are math and science, but reading and writing come in a close second.

I dual majored in Neuroscience and Psychology at UTD. Reading and psychology are my favorite to tutor students in because I am the most passionate about those subjects. I have always been the person that people come to when they need help because I am able to deliver information in a fun way that aligns with the person's skill level.

I recently graduated cum laude with a BS Biomedical Engineering degree. I tutor any of the fundamental sciences as well as calculus and pre-cal. I am a part of the Imperial Scientific Association (ISA), a group of NASA certified educators. During the week I am assisting with clinical research. Weekends will be an ideal time to meet. My tutoring style is best described as unwavering patience. I explain until there is understanding. I've spent years teaching my younger sister the ropes in science and math. I have the patience to explain the big fundamentals from start to finish and I have the experience to talk about how the theory applies to life.

I am so excited to help you build your human resources career. As a life long learner I have been very fortunate to have had teachers, mentors, advisors and tutors who have helped me build a great human resources career. Now, I would like to do the same for human resources professionals seeking their credentials.I have more than 20 years of experience as a senior human resources professional. I hold both SHRM-SCP and SPHR designations. My experience and education has led me to build my own HR Consulting and Leadership Coaching business.As you can see, I'm passionate about helping people succeed in their careers.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience in 2019. I'm currently working on my Masters in Neuroscience and Applied Cognition. Since graduation, I have been tutoring pre-med subjects including Chemistry, Biology, and Neuroscience. I particularly enjoy tutoring these subjects since I am passionate about understanding the mind, brain, body, and their relationship to each other on all scales. At UTD, I gained experience being a Teaching Assistant for neuroanatomy and working as a General Chemistry supplemental instruction (SI) leader for the student success center at the university. There, I held multiple sessions a week, reviewing concepts, and helping a group of students work together to solve challenging problems. I love helping students gain a passion for learning. My approach is to help my students gain a strong understanding of the fundamentals which will allow them to understand complex concepts. I like to help students gain confidence in the subjects we are working on which they can carry on to the rest of their academic careers.

I love playing chess and teaching chess. I love everything about it. It's a mental battle of strategy and for me, it's way, way more than just a board game. I have been playing Chess since 2007 and I have learned from the best coaches in India. My peak rating is 1759 FIDE / 1892 USCF. I'm working on getting breaking walls in both formats and at the same time help others achieve their Chess goals as well. We all have been in a situation when we know we are winning a game but we somehow mess it up. If you join me it won't happen again. I will teach you how to Win A Won game.

I graduated from University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I have always enjoyed math, science (mostly physics), and logic puzzles. To me, math a type of logic puzzle. I like seeing the patterns in math and using these patterns to work towards the solution. I like knowing that there is an answer to every problem and that there are multiple ways to get the same correct answer. I am passionate about helping students because I enjoy the learning process. I feel quite good after helping a student expand their understanding. I like to see when they transition from not knowing what to do, to confidently solving the problem correctly on their own.I have worked with a variety of different students. I have worked with sixth graders struggling with fractions, helped someone understand the concept of negative numbers, high school students with pre-calculus and helped someone with college algebra. I have helped these students to understand the math they were working on. I gained valuable experience in explaining the concepts in different ways and using real examples to better demonstrate how the concept works.I tutor middle school math, high school math, calculus 1 and 2, and physics and some lower level mechanical engineering. More specifically, my math subjects include: Algebra 1 & 2, AP Calculus AB & BC, AP Statistics, Calculus 1 & 2, Geometry, GRE Quantitative, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and SAT Math. Of all of these subjects, my favorite to tutor is Geometry. Tutoring Geometry is my favorite because of all the visual and logical thinking needed in order to solve the problem.My teaching philosophy and tutoring style revolve around making sure the student understands the concept. I like teaching the thought process so that students are able to succeed without memorizing too many things. I also think that schools typically make a stressful environment, which can inhibit learning. I am a laid-back person and keep the tutoring sessions as low stress as possible.As you may have guessed, I am somewhat of a typical nerd. My nerdiness is not only shown in my love for logic and math, but also in my free time where I enjoy playing strategy board games with my friends and family. I also enjoy playing computer games, including primarily: Rocket League, Hearthstone, and League of Legends.

Hi Everyone! My name is Linda Deaver, and I hold a B.A. in Literature and Historical Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. My M.A. and Ph.D., which are also from the University of Texas at Dallas, are both in the Humanities with a concentration in the moral philosophy, literature, and feminist theory. I consider myself a non-traditional student and a life-long learner. What can I say--I love to learn! As a legal assistant, I originally started school with plans to take business classes to prepare for law school. However, it did not take long to realize that when it came time to make that fateful decision: law or literature, my heart belonged to literature. and art, and history, and philosophy. The study of literature and philosophy, especially, opened up another world for me, a world of new ideas and unlimited possibilities. I hope to share the excitement of that world with my students.

Current freshman at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in Computer Science having graduated from Flower Mound High School with the class of 2024. Has been tutoring students for about 3-4 years now, and is most confident in tutoring math (upto Calculus 2), science, reading comprehension, and computer programming.

Sometimes a little extra help is needed just to see the bigger picture. The world of English is more than simply reading and writing, my hope is to make it more fun than what you think it is.

Hello! My name is Farnoosh. I am a Texas and California licensed pharmacist, graduated from the University of North Texas System College of Pharmacy with a degree in Pharmacy (PharmD). I completed my PharmD degree with a 3.76 GPA and passed NAPLEX with a triple digit on my first attempt . I enjoy working with students and recent graduates.

I am a graduate Student at UT Dallas. I have a variety of interests. I enjoy reading books, sailing, playing both board games and video games. I also play rugby. I first realized my interest in teaching and helping others when I was thirteen in the Boy Scouts where I was the only member of the troop to return for multiple terms as a troop guide. I try to mold my teaching style to the learning style of the student. In general, I encourage students to come to the solutions on their own with nudges from me when they get stuck.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2014. This semester, I am going back to UTD to pursue my Masters degree. I moved to the U.S. five years ago and without even realizing it, I became my family’s private interpreter. Not long after that, I realized I could make a living connecting words and worlds. I became an interpreter and I did so for many years.I am always fascinated by the fact that, nowadays, knowing a language can set you apart. It can make the difference between getting a scholarship, an internship, and even a job. I love languages because you can learn not only grammar and pronunciation, but beliefs, history and cultures.Learning something new is NEVER easy! It takes time and patience, but once you "get it", you will feel amazing! Learning English changed my life and I want to help you change yours.

Hey everyone, I'm Sameer. I am a college freshman majoring in Information Technology Systems at the University of Texas at Dallas. I'm qualified to teach Elementary school math, Middle school math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and SAT Math. I received a 1480 on my SAT with a 790 on the math section and a 690 on the reading section. Prior to that, my scores were in the 1000-1300 range, so I know exactly how to go from an average score to a score within the 99th percentile.

I'm a graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas with double Bachelors Degrees in Computer Science and Cognitive Science. I have explored the intersection of technology, medicine, and public policy throughout my academic career. I'm an industry-trained computer scientist with experience at Microsoft and the National Institute of Health.I have tutored students in all sections of the MCAT (CARS is my area of expertise), math, computer science, biology, and chemistry.I'm passionate about teaching others from a wide range of backgrounds and love passing on my knowledge to others! In my free time, I enjoy playing classical guitar, singing in my local choir, and traveling.

As a college writing and ESL teacher, I have the expertise to help any high school or university student who needs help in an English-related field. I'm not just an experienced teacher, either; as a current PhD candidate at UT Dallas, I am staying sharp and up to date on the subjects that I tutor. Are you struggling with a high school English class? I've taught 9th grade ELA. Are you struggling with a college ESL or writing class? I teach those subjects. In addition, with a perfect 170 on the GRE Verbal section, I can teach you the vocabulary and text analysis skills you need to get into graduate school.

I have a lot of teaching experience from grade school to adult students. I enjoy teaching and able to explain a difficult concept in simple terms.I focus on empathy and adapting to students' need and learning style.

I am currently a senior at The University of Texas at Dallas, pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I have some experience in tutoring several subjects in math and science subjects, as well as SAT prep.I also have two years of corporate experience as an intern for Raytheon. In my free time, I love playing sports, watching movies, and traveling. I am also a huge Dallas sports fan - Cowboys, Mavs, etc.I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet new people and tutor them in any subject!

I am a student of both the Humanities and Natural Sciences. My B.A. is in Historical Studies and my focus was in the history of science, and medicine. As an undergraduate I received grant funding for my ongoing project, 'Historical Perspectives on Alternative Health.' I am pursuing a MA in History while finishing up prerequisites for a graduate degree related to pathology. In addition to historical studies related to science and medicine I am associated with the Center for Values in Medicine, Science,and Technology at UTD. This has provided me with exposure to ethical components of the sciences that do not receive enough discussion or attention.If I had to select an area of inquiry that is the most exciting it would be where the Humanities and Natural Sciences merge. I am thrilled to be constantly adding interdisciplinary approaches to my toolkit whether the discipline is history, literature, ethics, biology, pathology, technology, archaeology, or anthropology.The last two semesters I have functioned in the role of a Teaching Assistant for an introduction course to pathophysiology at the University of Texas at Dallas. Through volunteer service with places such as the Richardson Boy's and Girl's club I have had exposure to homework assistance for many different age ranges. Depending on the subject there are several approaches to teaching, or tutoring, that I think are appropriate. Since each student is different it is important to find the best ways in which he/she can recall, understand, and relate various subject materials. Ultimately though, whether a student is an auditory, visual, kinetic, spacial, etc.. learner, I find the best approach is to help students learn how to identify a range of ways to ask questions regarding any problem, source, or material at hand and then proceed to find the solutions to those questions.I am extremely interested in narratives. My hobbies are related to ways in which people tell and experience stories. This is usually in the form of books, movies, television shows, comic books, story telling, music, and video games. I have recently added radio dramas to this list of narratives I enjoy. Each medium for telling and experiencing stories offer its own unique way for the 'listener' to interact with the story either passively or quite actively in the case of comics and video/computer games.

I am a Freshman of the Class of 2024 in the University of Texas at Dallas; my major is Computer Science. Back when I was in high school in Vietnam, which is a long time ago (at least 5 years), I stood out amongst my friends with the ability to perform really well in science subjects like Math, Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. I always love learning new things and have a passion for academic stuff. One of my proudest achievements back then was earning the highest score amongst high school seniors in my state in the annual national final exam of 2015, an equivalent to the SAT. Afterwards, I spent nearly 4 years in college as a medical student but had to quit my studying to immigrate to the US. Though I am a little bit old to start college again, I do not really deem this as a disadvantage. In fact, my past experience would be really helpful to guide me through tough times in college. I am so excited and thankful that I have a chance to pursue my passion in one of the best education systems in the world.Colleges are definitely a great place for young people not only in terms of academic achievement but also with regard to socializing, networking, and how we grow up. However, I reckon that not all of us could pursue our goals at our dream college since we have to go through the application process, which still significantly relies on standardized tests score like SAT 1 and SAT 2 to determine the ability to become successful of a student in the future.Not long ago I spent a great amount of time to prepare for the SAT when I was about to apply for US colleges and did very well in the Math section, as well as SAT subject tests like Math II and Chemistry. I also worked with some students to help them with their subject tests, including teaching them new concepts, providing materials, and so on.I realize that every student has a different story; they pursue different goals due to their distinctions of ability, mindset, ... What I always want to do is to create an engaging, and fun environment to help them focus in learning rather than see it as a burden. In order to do that, giving constructive criticisms when needed is a must-need. Also, I love to encourage my students to have their own solution first for a new or difficult problem and value creativity and flexibility. You will not have to learn every formula in my class; rather, I will help you know how they are constructed, in other words, how people come up with a certain mathematic relations, so that even if you forgot something during your exam, you could still easily formulate or recall it.

I am a law student seeking to help fund my living expenses while I go to school. Before I entered law school, while I was getting my master's degree, I tutored a variety of high school subjects and the SAT and ACT. I enjoy tutoring immensely, and after nearly eight years of doing it, I have developed a repertoire of tricks that help my students learn more easily. I particularly enjoy tutoring high school math and physics, Spanish, and literature, but I have experience in most subjects. I know many, many words :-)

Hi! My name is Ruth and I'm very excited to meet you! I used to be an elementary level reading, writing, and math tutor, specifically for kids with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, or autism and I was also a substitute teacher, primarily for elementary-age kids. I have my Bachelor's degree in Political Science, so I am also capable of tutoring up to a high school level in government. I'm really excited to start working with Varsity Tutors, and I hope to hear from you soon!

I love empowering students to see their own limitless potential, and to help them build a working knowledge of a subject beyond rote memorization. I have tutored students all throughout high school and college, mostly in subjects related to math or physics. I received two undergraduate degrees in math and physics from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and am halfway through my master's degree in mathematics, also from UTD. I tutor almost any subject from high school and college math and physics, and also select courses in reading, writing, and English. I also may provide help in preparing for standardized testing. My favorite subjects to teach are undoubtedly math and physics, as I love building a beautiful framework from the ground up with a student, and watching all the pieces fall into place as their understanding solidifies. This is reflected in my teaching philosophy, in which I will try to find some base of knowledge a student already understands well, and build up from there to the desired result: I feel this gives the student a deeper understanding of a subject, so they may easily generalize their knowledge to future endeavors. Outside of academia, I love playing all types of games and a few musical instruments, as well as hanging out with my friends and family.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas, where I am simultaneously pursuing a B.S. in Psychology and a B.S. in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology. I have taught adult ESL classes for nearly two years as part of a volunteer program at my school, which has given me a strong background in education and organizational skills. I am a fluent speaker of English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I am in the process of learning Mandarin Chinese. Being an avid reader and learner of languages, my most passionate tutoring subjects are SAT Critical Reading, SAT Writing, Spanish, and general writing/grammar skills. My approach to tutoring emphasizes improving studying and test-taking skills, as well as guiding students to their own, genuine understandings of the material at hand through thought-provoking questions and engagement in critical thinking, as opposed to rote learning techniques. In my free time, I enjoy reading, biking, listening to music, and cooking.

As a premed, I completely understand the toll that the MCAT takes and I'm excited for the opportunity to help fellow premeds to take the test. I've worked as an ACT/SAT tutor in high school and after taking the MCAT and scoring in the 97th percentile, I've been helping my classmates prep for the test. I am a senior Neuroscience student at the University of Texas at Dallas, and I am tutoring in the four sections of the MCAT. I will help you make a schedule and work through YOUR problems from whatever resources you use.

I have been a high school math teacher for many years. My favorite subjects to teach are Algebra and Geometry. I also teach AP Statistics and love helping students navigate the intricacies of the AP Exam. I am working towards a Master's degree in Economics because I love how math can be applied to all aspects of life, especially the social sciences. I believe all students can be successful in math and I would love the opportunity to help you be successful!

As a current chemistry student at the University of Texas at Dallas, I know what it is like to be a learner and an educator. I have always enjoyed teaching others to understand how to solve problems and the underlying concepts behind problems. My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry because I love and feel the most confident in tutoring this subject. Last year, I often found myself helping out my peers with college chemistry and calculus. Through that, I have found a love for teaching others. My teaching philosophy can best described by this quote from Plato's Republic:"The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful." -Plato, The RepublicOther than tutoring, I love singing, because I had been in choir for 7 years, taking photographs with my film camera, and playing the piano and guitar.

Hi! My name is Mithra and I have a background in neuropsychology. I have been tutoring and teaching for the past 9 years and love doing so.I believe that education is what will create positive global change and I want to be a part of that by helping students through their educational journey!

Tutoring is a proactive way by which people enrich their learning experience and see their goals carried out by whatever means available. I shall be your means. As a Historical graduate student and Associate of Education, learning is my wheelhouse, and Social Studies are my specialty. I am a trained researcher, and will gladly assist you in your own research.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development with a minor in Speech Language Pathology from the University of Texas at Dallas. My experience working with children began at an early age but the abundance of my experience comes from being a Transitional Kindergarten teacher at a private preschool. The main focus of my classroom is providing foundational learning that is in accordance with the Texas Kindergarten curriculum for those students who are not yet able to enter Kindergarten due to mandated age requirements. Along with abundant experience with all preschool years, I have assisted children in many elementary grade levels. My strongest subjects to tutor are English, reading, phonics and elementary math. In my experience, prepping students in reading and phonics is the most enjoyable for me because of the range of techniques that can be used to teach them. As an educator, as much as I stress the importance of fun and playful learning, I am a strong proponent of structured learning as well. Molding young children's minds means providing a strong path but at the same time letting them tread that path in the matter that is most suitable to them.

Personal Facts and Style: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Native English Speaker and No Accent (These are important to some students) Patient and Friendly Like to explain things step by step and write a lot on the white board! ALWAYS open to questions and suggestions from students and parents Background: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have always enjoyed teaching new concepts to people, whether formally or informally. To paraphrase an old TV series title, I would say "Have books, will travel" to describe my passion for teaching. Of course, now these "books" are often online, and we travel with laptops and tablets. But learning will always be associated with the word books, in my opinion. My experience includes all levels of mathematics, including calculus, business calculus, and multi-variable calculus. I also love teaching the fundamentals such as algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I am very comfortable in teaching computer-based topics such as Cloud Computing concepts as well as specifics for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Tutoring Approach: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When tutoring, I first try to understand the student's specific goals and needs. Maybe it's help with HW. Maybe it's general concepts. Perhaps it's a standardized test such as AP, SAT, GRE. What does the student need and what are his/her goals? How can I help? That's my approach. I try to make sessions interactive to make the learning process interesting. This also helps reinforce student learning. For 1-1 sessions, this is relatively easy to do. For group sessions, I try to ask students if they understand, and I give them time to solve the problems that I present. Subjects of Interest to Me (not a complete list) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Science is awesome right? From the biochemical reactions inside of our cells to the extreme biological adaptations of deep-diving sperm whales to the long distance migration of some birds, nature never ceases to amaze me. I love Biology (especially Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, and Cancer Biology), Chemistry (especially Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry), and Physics (Classical and Modern). I enjoy tutoring in these subjects as stand-alone or as part of the MCAT exam. Current Endeavors ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am currently working on Machine Learning (ML), and specifically neural networks. I use Python (with the Tensor Flow and Kera packages) and Jupyter Notebooks. I also use various tools in the cloud, and I set up billing alerts and cost constraints to ensure that I stay within my prescribed budget. I am also analyzing data such as my own Apple health data (XML format). There are many tools available for data analysis. I like using Microsoft Fabric along with the Azure Cloud, as it provides a good end-to-end solution.

I remember what its like to stare at a piece of homework and not know where to start. Along the way my teachers helped me realize the value of asking questions. In my tutoring, my number one goal is to remove the anxiety behind asking questions about why or how. I believe all students should feel that asking questions is a good academic skill rather than a weakness. In high school, I started tutoring for the National Honor Society, where I enjoyed tutoring underclassmen in Spanish, Chemistry, and Biology.I was born in Panama and later moved to Texas with my family; however, Ive spent most of my life in the DFW area. After high school, I was designated as an AP Scholar. I made high marks on the AP exams for English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, and the highest scores on US History and World History.Later, I was named a National Hispanic Merit Scholar and received a full ride scholarship to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I was also accepted into UNLs Honors college. I double majored in Spanish and Psychology and received minors in International Studies and Latin American Studies. During my years in Lincoln, I tutored middle schoolers in Biology, Pre-Algebra, Spanish, and English Language Arts. I also provided academic organizational skills tutoring and study tips. For my undergraduate research, I worked in a developmental cognitive neuroscience lab on campus. In my free time I volunteered at a cat shelter.After earning my Bachelor of Arts degree, I moved back to DFW to work in my current position doing research for the University of Texas at Dallas. I assist in a project investigating how middle schoolers learn best in their classrooms In my position, Ive traveled all across Texas and Arizona. Im familiar with middle school classrooms and the standard Texas curriculum for middle school grades. While working, I earned my Master of Science degree in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience.at the University of Texas at Dallas. I focused my coursework on adolescent development, learning, and memory.I have experience working with English Language learners within a diverse student body all across Texas. One of my favorite areas is Spanish tutoring for new and native speakers. Oftentimes, Spanish will be spoken at home and a student will have a fluent ability to speak and understand the language. However, reading and writing in the language may need more guided practice. For me, learning to write and read in Spanish was not something I learned at home. I remember being embarrassed at misspelling Spanish words that I had been speaking for years at home. I share my experience with students to highlight how common this situation is when learning to read and write in language.I believe sharing my past experiences and anxieties with learners is helpful for middle schoolers. At this age, they are beginning to navigate their own learning and choose their own classes. My drive to tutor middle school topics in English Language Arts, Spanish, and History is fueled by my desire to set the stage for fearless learning in students.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics this past December (2019) from the University of Texas at Dallas. I worked freelance as an online math tutor for students between sixth and tenth grade, starting in 2015. Math was a strong subject for me during my years in school, and seeing that math is a topic that students often struggle with, I enjoy the opportunity to use my skills to help others achieve their goals. I started tutoring in person during my senior year of high school and shifted to online tutoring sessions throughout college with students from around the state, with many coming from international families. I personally enjoy tutoring students because it's an opportunity to help them develop their skills and confidence in math and in day to day life. My philosophy on tutoring emphasises a strong belief in the importance of providing a positive and safe learning environment as an instructor. Additionally, with how different learning styles can be, I believe it is important as a tutor to be flexible in teaching style in order to meet the individual needs of each student.
