Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Dallas

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 believe that a tutor's duty is to identify and cater to the individual needs and learning styles of their students. It is my goal to help my students understand new and challenging concepts in such a way that the information can be recalled years later. I most enjoy tutoring biology because it is a subject that deeply interests me and calls upon an understanding of many other subjects. I am currently a third year undergraduate at UT Dallas pursuing a degree in biology. I spend my free time working out, volunteering, and being with my friends.

I like to teach, inspire and help others learn.I have both a bachelors in business administration as well as a bachelors in civil engineering, having gone back to school to earn it.

I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering. I am starting a part-time lecturer position at Paul Quinn College in the fall for General Biology I lab and lecture. I love to learn and teach.I read books, play board games, and do puzzles in my free time.

Hi! My name is Ashwini and I am Neuroscience graduate from UT Dallas and currently applying to medical school. I have had a passion to help others and tutoring for several years. I am here for your tutoring needs and advancing you to be a great student. I am sociable and detail oriented so we will work great together to get you to where you need to be.

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 am a high school teacher with 20 years of experience. I teach biology, IPC, chemistry and physics. I have written curriculum in Texas for the past 15 years as well as present at numerous science education conferences around the state. I have multiple tools in my toolbox to help every student achieve success!

My teaching experience began when I was 16 years old, at which time I worked at a Mathnasium Learning Center in my hometown. I have since earned my Bachelor's in Psychology and am now working toward a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I have tutored K-12 Math, SAT, ACT, and GRE for the last several years, with a specialty in all four composite sections of the ACT. I greatly enjoy working one-on-one with students and showing them that it really is alright to not know something and to work through it together. I have had opportunities to work with learners of all abilities, including gifted students, those on the autism spectrum, and those with ADHD and/or testing anxiety. My goal is always to make things "click" on the first explanation, but I am always prepared to demonstrate multiple strategies for solving difficult problems. I look forward to helping your student reach their greatest potential!

I am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas and UT Southwestern, where I earned my master's degree in biomedical engineering. I began teaching as a tennis coach, developing strong communication and one-on-one instructional skills, and have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors since 2024 in math and science, including Algebra, Algebra II, SAT Algebra, and Biology. My tutoring style is personalized and focused on understanding how each student thinks. I enjoy getting to know my students and having open conversations about their learning styles. I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable saying when they do not understand a concept, allowing us to work through it together. I adapt my teaching to meet the needs of my students, whether that means breaking down concepts step by step, emphasizing problem-solving strategies, or reinforcing conceptual understanding. My goal is to build confidence and independence.

I've been babysitting for six years, and I've interacted with people of all ages. I've tutored a few of the kids I've babysat, including teaching one how to read and reviewing math with elementary school-age kids. I am also the oldest of four, and have helped them learn their school subjects, all with a range of before Pre-K through middle school. I've also helped my classmates achieve high grades on their essays, and I helped out as an editor/grader for a class that I took in high school.I have graduated from Vista Ridge High School, and I entered the University of Texas at Dallas with 24 credit hours from Austin Community College.Outside of tutoring and academics, I work at a local Salata, play guitar, do a lot of drawing and writing, and spend time with my family and my cat.

I am currently an undergraduate student at University of Texas at Dallas, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and minor in Marketing. I have worked with students and tutored them in STEM subjects such as mathematics and science, and I have also helped students with history projects and essays. My favorite subject to tutor is science because I am able to use simple real-world examples to explain more complex topics, which allows for me to create a more engaging experience for the students and connect with them as well. I believe that there is no greater power than knowledge and your ability to apply yourself using vast information that is learnt either from school or experiences. Moreover, I believe that students who choose to seek help through tutoring embark upon a path to become the best version of themselves, starting with academic success. In my spare time, I like to read, draw/paint, and watch movies. In essence, I would love the opportunity to make someone interested in learning as much as I love learning about new information and ideas.

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.

Every subject is like its own language, and every teacher is like the translator, who, not only makes untrodden land seem familiar but also equips the student with the tools and confidence to foster discovery on his or her own. All learning happens within the context of a relationship: this is my teaching philosophy. Lessons centered around teachable moments and the reasoning behind conceptual bases drive the manner in which I teach. Along with a B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Dallas, I bring more than two years of experience with one of the best tutoring companies in the DFW teaching subjects ranging from the upper-level sciences to upper-level maths as well as SAT, ACT, AP, and everything in between. During my time at the university, I gathered lab experience working on a bioplastic catalysis project that aimed to increase the efficiency of non-petroleum-based polymerization reactions. Outside of my academic life, I love to make Latin-influenced music with my brothers.

Hello, there!My name is Sarah Manns, and I am a 19-year-old Sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I’m currently working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Literary Studies, minoring in Psychology, and am working towards teaching certification. Afterwards, I intend to work towards my Masters Degree in Humanities with a focus on Studies in Literature. I have been a part of the Future Teacher Internship program at my high school, worked as a teaching intern/assistant, and am currently employed as an AVID tutor. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, though my specialty lies with older kids. With a GPA of 4.5, I was ranked number 10 in my high school graduating class of over 650 students, and my current GPA at UTD is 3.97.Ever since I was about ten years old, I’ve known I’ve wanted to teach. Helping others is my passion, and I want to have a positive impact on the lives of those I meet. There’s nothing better than the euphoric feeling I get when I know I’ve helped a student succeed, changed their lives for the better, or helped them understand something they once struggled with. Even the little things matter to me, and if nothing else, I’d like to at least bring a smile to every students’ face. I’m a very empathetic person and I hope that when I tutor or eventually teach, my students will feel comfortable to be themselves around me and know that they have someone to turn to for guidance in any situation. I respect each and every student as an individual, as a human being, and as an equal. I don’t view my students as inferior, and by making this level of respect clear, hopefully my students will feel more inclined to express themselves and trust in me. I only want the best for my students, and I will work hard to ensure that every one of them succeeds at their goals at least in some way.I am comfortable tutoring an array of subjects, but I would feel most comfortable tutoring English or math. Any subject that deals with the basic middle school curriculum is fine for me to tackle, thanks to my experience working as a middle school AVID tutor. Even if, for some reason, I am somewhat rusty or unfamiliar with a particular subject, I can use the AVID method to draw upon what the student already knows, ask pertinent and engaging questions, keep the student focused and on task, and guide the student to reach the conclusion fairly independently. Since I’ve recently graduated high school (2015), most of the material is still relatively fresh in my mind. At most, I’ll need a quick refresher on a certain topic, but I will be quick to remember and highly effective in helping a struggling student gain a better understanding. I have experience with taking standardized tests like the SAT, PSAT, TAKS, AND STAAR (among others) and with taking multiple AP classes and tests. I’ve been a very successful student in my academic career, and am quite enthusiastic about passing down knowledge or tips to any student who wants them.I have a fairly flexible schedule and am willing to change things up depending on the needs of my clients. I will be extremely positive, cooperative, and willing to meet any needs that you or your child have. I want to see happiness, success, and light bulbs going off in my students’ heads! I hope you’ll consider me as a good fit for your student.Thank you very much!

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 a graduate of The University of Texas at Dallas. I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math and Computer Programming. I believe education is important in building the future generation and making the world a better place. In my spare time, I enjoy reading books.

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 have over 4 years of experience teaching students from ages 7-55, in a variety of subjects ranging from algebra, to chemistry, to physics. I try to tailor my teaching style to best suit the personality of each individual student, and I look forward to doing the same for you!

I thoroughly enjoy tutoring, predominantly because I love to learn and understand the frustrations about struggling with a multitude of subjects. It can often feel overwhelming but I have confidence that students can succeed academically with patient and dedicated guidance.At the moment, I am working towards becoming a certified teacher. During high school at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, I maintained a 4.0 GPA, was on the Dean's List every semester, and earned recognition as a National Merit finalist. During undergraduate college at the University of Texas at Dallas, I maintained all A's, graduated as a Magna Cum Laude honors student, was on the President's List multiple semesters, and received the Academic Excellence Scholarship due to my National Merit finalist standing. During high school and undergraduate college, I studied diligently in order to learn and succeed academically, and I hope to be able to provide others with the same opportunity.Regarding my tutoring experience, I started tutoring as a high school student. During high school, I was committee head for a local middle school volunteering program. Every week, I would help teach children in a variety of subjects that ranged in mathematics, sciences, and even reading. In addition, I was part of a group of private tutors in the subjects of biology, chemistry, and pre-calculus for high school students attending my school. While in undergraduate college, I was not part of an official tutoring organization but I did choose to volunteer to help my colleagues in biochemistry-based courses such as biochemistry and organic chemistry in addition to neuroscience-related courses. I could understand the difficulties that students had with challenging classes and tried to work with them in order for them to better understand and enjoy the material. In addition, I have worked with a tutoring company to tutor students from elementary school to college in the subjects of elementary reading, elementary writing, elementary mathematics, algebra 1, algebra 2, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and ACT/SAT preparation.

I am super passionate about helping my students be successful in their academics and beyond! For over 16 years I have partnered with students in kindergarten through college to assist them in reaching their academic potential! I have a B.A. from UT Dallas in Interdisciplinary Studies, M.A. from Amberton in School Counseling, and M.Ed. from the University of North Texas in Educational Administration. I pride myself in learning about my students and their needs, and I want to build a rapport with them to build their confidence and academic skills. I specialize in elementary reading skills, social studies, and test preparation. I also specialize in TEXES exam preparation. My personality is Texan, southern, very warm, and friendly! When coupled with my background in school counseling, I will help make students of all ages feel at ease! I know we can accomplish amazing things together! I look forward to hearing from y'all! :)

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!

Benjamin Franklin once said, ???Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.??? This quote sums up my teaching philosophy. Students need to be involved and allowed the time to struggle and learn. I can provide support, motivation and patience to the student, and not only an answer. I believe this is more important as it gives them confidence and study techniques instead of just the answer to the specific problem at hand.

First, a student, second, a teacher. This mindset reminds me to take a step back and meet students where they are background knowledge, current situation, feelings about what is to be learned, dreams and goals. It's important for me to listen to understand students when I work with them. This way, I can ask better questions to help them grow in specific knowledge, as well as in life in ways that work for them. This way, my students leave sessions satisfied, fulfilled, and feel it was time well-spent. My education background is in the sciences - for the first half of my undergraduate education, I lived in New Orleans and studied Neuroscience at Tulane University. There, I took a Teaching position for an AP Calculus class at New Orleans Charter Science and Math High School my first real experience in a teacher-like role in after-school study sessions. An important question to ask students became "What do you want to get out of the class and our time together?" this way I could align my expectations of students with their goals. After Tulane, I went back home to finish my undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Dallas. More of my teaching philosophy was developed here with positions as Teaching Assistant in Biochemistry and Supplemental Instruction Leader in Physics at the Student Success Center. Here, I started to see teaching as an art of sharing information and helping peers think in new ways about how to take-in and assimilate knowledge. I hadn't considered teaching as a career up to this point; I had always wanted to be a doctor. I took the MCAT in 2015, and interviewed for medical school in Texas. I decided on UT Southwestern. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at UT Dallas and then went on to complete two and half years of medical school with clinical rotations at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I liked all the specialties in which I rotated, but I did not feel called to any one specialty in particular like my peers did. This is why I left medical school in 2018 to pursue a M.S. in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience at UT Dallas. Since then, I have taught with Kaplan Test Prep as an MCAT Instructor for In-Person, Kaplan Partner Solutions Institutional Partnerships, and Live Online delivery modes. At Kaplan, my teaching style has matured incorporating elements of growth mindset and learning science with spaced repetition of relevant concepts all while meeting students where they are on their journeys in education. Now, as an Honors Chemistry teacher at Coppell High School, I am able to design learning to meet individual student needs in a dual-delivery space: in-person and online education, all at the same time, via zoom. Helping students achieve their full potential is my passion, and I specialize in MCAT science. Please reach out with questions!

"As a cybersecurity professional and GRC specialist, my passion for teaching is rooted in bridging the gap between academic theory and high-stakes industry application. My teaching philosophy is built on a rigorous theoretical foundation, but it is fundamentally job-oriented. I believe the most effective learning happens when students can see the direct line between a concept and its execution in a professional environment. My goal is to mentor students not just to pass exams, but to pursue successful careers in the field. I leverage my background as a [Cybersecurity Director/Business Owner] to provide students with a practitioner's perspective on risk management, governance frameworks, and security architecture. While I am adept at delivering a structured, fixed curriculum, I specialize in enhancing the learning experience with real-world industry scenariosoffering students 'field notes' on how these technical principles operate in the current global market. I am dedicated to making a tangible difference in my students' professional lives by equipping them with both the technical competence and the industry-ready mindset required to excel." Areas of interest are tutoring CISSP, CISA, GRC, Advanced Cybersecurity

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.

As a recent computer science graduate with 5 years of tutoring experience, I bring both fresh academic knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for helping students navigate the world of computer science. I remember what it felt like to struggle through a tricky recursion problem or wrestle with a proof in discrete math and that perspective makes me a more patient, relatable tutor. I'm comfortable working with students at all levels, from beginners just picking up Python to upperclassmen tackling graph algorithms or building full-stack applications. I'm patient, organized, and always willing to approach a concept from a different angle if the first explanation doesn't click. If you're looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, approachable, and invested in your success, I'd love to work with you.

Micah is currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas majoring in Information Technology Systems and Finance. He has years of experience tutoring and training students as he led a team of 78 students to the international level of DECA competition (the largest team in Texas).Micah likes taking unique, unorthodox approaches to solving problems. His hobby includes expanding his horizons about the technology and business world.

I enjoy tutoring because, when my students succeed, I get to be a link in their larger success chain. My favorite notes are from students who write to tell me that they just got their law degree, or PhD, or made it into the Naval Academy. (Go Navy!)I personally graduated cum laude with a double bachelors in Sociology and Historical Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. I specialize in shepherding students through the SAT and ACT tests. As much as I enjoy math, I especially enjoy tutoring reading and writing because getting very good with that skillset has the most carryover value to the real world for most students.If I had to describe my teaching philosophy it would be, "Take your goals seriously. Invest in yourself. Lace in. Win through." In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing, and working out. I probably read about 30 books a year and I've written six books including several tutoring books-- since 2015.

I am a current Ph.D student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my bachelors of science in Mathematics with honors from Union College. While in undergrad, I spent all four years working as a course assistant, aiding professors with grading and coursework. I also volunteered with Girls Inc all four years, tutoring students in grades 1-5 in a range of topics, but mostly math. During the summers, I worked with the academic outreach program, as an RA and a tutor for students going into their first year at Union College. Now as a Ph.D student, I have spent two years as a TA for undergraduate students, mostly working in calculus based courses. I find tutoring an incredibly rewarding process; fostering a students growth, working closely with a few students, and really breaking through educational barriers that are difficult to tackle in a large classroom setting.

Passionate tutor dedicated to empowering students, fostering academic growth, and promoting a love for learning. Tailoring lessons to individual needs, I create a supportive environment that encourages confidence, engagement, and success.

I am a graduate from The University of Texas at Dallas where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology. During college I have gained valuable teaching and mentorship experiences. I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for introduction to Biology lab and introduction to Neuroscience for combined 3 semesters. As an undergraduate TA, I held weekly reviews and demonstrated lab techniques to help my students. I was a freshman mentor for 2 semesters in which I worked with my mentee to help him achieve his academic and personal goal and to help smoothen his transition from high school to college. I tutor high school and college level Biology and Chemistry. I believe each student has a different learning approach which allows them to be the best at that subject. I look forward to working with future students and helping them succeed in subjects or topics they need help on. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, running, and watching sports.

My name is Jillian. I hold a PhD in Aesthetics and have over 12 years of teaching art, design, and computer imaging. My teaching approach is differentiated, meaning based on the need of the learner.

I believe that we all have the power to learn anything we set our minds to. I also believe we can have fun in the process.

Hi! My name is David and I recently graduated from Columbia with my Masters in Public Health. I am very passionate about science and I hope to dedicate my career to improving the environment and people's health. I've always enjoyed teaching whether I'm with my students as a TA or just with my friends helping them with assignments. I think understanding difficult concepts can be stressful at times so I hope to make learning enjoyable by simplifying hard questions and boosting my students' confidence.

I am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Art, in the hopes of going to medical school one day. I have had extensive experience tutoring students, ever since I was a high school student myself, in art, PSAT, math, and science. I am most passionate about teaching math and science, as the critical thinking skills developed from these subjects can be applied to multiple aspects of our lives. I always found myself being able to connect with students more via these subjects, as their puzzle-like nature seemed to appeal to students the most, especially once we discovered the teaching style that suited them. I witnessed that a tailored and unique teaching style shows remarkable improvements, both in the subject matter, as well as the students' general reception of academia. I strongly believe in the importance of education and its role as a critical tool, which enables individuals to improve the quality of their lives and develop lasting connections. In my free time, I like spending time with my family, doing art, running, and reading.
