Award-Winning Tutors from The University of Texas at Dallas

Learning anything can be difficult, especially when one is not interested and fails to make a genuine effort. The first step is to find the beauty in knowledge. I have gone through this transition and can relate to someone who has difficulty learning weather it originates from lack of interest or inability to understand concepts using conventional methods. I, as a visual and conceptual learner, find myself able to study and learn more effectively if I manipulate what I am learning to fit my preferences and I can help and I am willing to help one learn how to do this.I am a senior at the University of Texas at Dallas and I will be graduating in Spring 2016. I have completed my B.S. degree in Biology and am currently working on a B.S. degree in Neuroscience. I will enter either pharmacy school at UT or medical school after I graduate. I have been tutoring since high school, starting out in mathematics. In college I tutored in mathematics, biology, chemistry and even standardized tests such as the PCAT and MCAT. I also have work experience in revising and writing questions for these tests. Lastly, I am a TA for anatomy and physiology at my university and this has been my favorite teaching experience. My favorite subjects to tutor are math (anything from geometry and SAT math to calculus) and science- particularly biology and chemistry. I love subjects such as anatomy, neuroscience and organic chemistry, which make you form images in your mind and learn using spatial skills. I find that this is one of my strengths and it does not stop at the books. I also play sports such as soccer and football. The skill definitely helped me as a goalkeeper for high school team.I like to enjoy the good-weather-days by swimming, playing football and futball, golfing and taking walks in the park. During down times I like to play darts, build things, do some microscopy or read books on neurology and evolution. I also am a big fan of video games and can entertain myself for weeks after getting a new game. I also love music as I have been playing the tuba and the snare since middle school. I especially like to play on my drum set whenever I come home for a few days. I have always loved being an athlete and I exercise regularly (my favorite workout is none other than the deadlift!) I enjoy nature and love going camping, taking hikes and boating. I am also an animal enthusiast, as my childhood dream was to become a zoologist and a marine biologist; I still hope to fight for conservation in Africa and South America after I am seasoned in my profession. My long term goal is to contribute to the effort to find causes/cures for many neuro-degenerative diseases as well as neural/psychotic disorders and in the field of neuroscience in general as it purely fascinates me.

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.

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.

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 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!

Hi everyone, my name is Chelsea, it's nice to meet you! I have a B.S. in Physics and a M.S. in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology from UT Dallas (Go Comets!) and I love to help physics, chemistry, biology and math students of all levels. Let's talk about sessions.... Subjects: For sciences I only teach biology, chemistry and physics and very closely related kinds of general physics, I do not have a speciality in any particular type of physics unless it is part of the undergraduate curriculum for physics majors accepted by most universities (such as Thermodynamics, Optics, etc). I now tutor mathematics as well. I operate on a first-come first-serve basis to make session timing fair to all students. Requests made for next day session under 24 hours can only be honored if there is available space. Any cancellations for same day session requests will be invoiced as a 24 hour cancellation. Since my semester average is well above 50 students simultaneously and to respect the time of all students schedules and my own, I request that all clients confirm their scheduled sessions in the system at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. Otherwise, I will assume that time does not work and will offer the time to another student if requested. For New Students: Please send me your most recent updated availability as soon as you can, thank you! This speeds up the process of scheduling tremendously. Materials: I can't emphasize this enough. Please send any materials you'd like to cover during the session at least 24 hours before our scheduled session time (so that I have enough time to prepare), it's never too early to send materials to my email. Time Zones: Also, unless otherwise specified, all session times will be communicated in CST (converting your time zone to CST) for ease of use and to reduce confusion considering Varsity Tutors has students from all over the United States and Canada.

I have a Master's in Accounting from The University of Texas at Dallas and a CPA license. I have worked in public and industry accounting fields, doing tax and financial statement preparation. I have worked as an accounting supervisor, developing training materials and leading training sessions on fundamental accounting concepts. I enjoy finding new ways to explain difficult concepts and looking at them from various perspectives to help students and accountants. I tutor on financial accounting and CPA exam content and am passionate about helping people prepare for these exams.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science from The University of Texas at Dallas but I have been tutoring and programming since high school. I've taught students a wide range of subjects, including: Computer Science, Geometry, English, Spanish, and Computer-Aided Design. I am currently working part-time in software development, focusing specifically on cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

Outgoing tutor with extensive experience in one-on-one and small group sessions to support students and their academic success in their English classrooms. I am Known for designing tailored lesson plans for each student where students focus on their reputation for developing reusable skills.

My goal is to connect with students on a personal level so teaching them complex concepts becomes an enjoyable learning experience. My forte is test taking skills especially for the SAT, PSAT, and AP exams. I have strong credentials from high school and experience in college as a Senior. Alongside my passion for teaching I guarantee the success of my students in their pursuit of excellence.

I am a senior studying Physics and Math at the University of Texas at Dallas. I will receive a Bachelor's of Science in Physics in 2016. For years, helping people learn to approach problems and concepts in Math and Physics has been very satisfying to me. Finding the simplest way to think about an initially daunting idea or task and assisting others in recognizing the necessary reasoning process is a great experience. I tutor primarily Physics and Math, with a preference for Calculus because of the fact that the concepts of Calculus lend themselves so naturally to intuitive physical interpretations and analogies. I am also able to help with SAT preparation. My main hobbies include reading, playing strategy games, and watching basketball.

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.

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 am a Chemist, the most enjoyable, rewarding thing I do is help students develop the confidence and foundational skills to excel in technical subjects. For more than 9 years I have taught high school, undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory, classroom and tutorial settings. I believe learning should be fun and that everyone can learn, we just need to work together to find out what works for you. Learning is not just observation, it is also participation. By engaging students in interactive discussions, I encourage curiosity and intellectual exploration. I help students learn how to think not what to think. By learning to think critically, students are able to maximize their potential to excel in math and science and do well on exams. I am willing to work hard to be the best teacher I can to guide students through the challenges they will encounter when studying chemistry and mathematics.

I am a senior at The University of Texas at Dallas. I will complete my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering concluding the Fall 2020 semester, and I currently have a 3.84 GPA. I will continue my education and pursue my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering afterward. I can tutor a wide range of math subjects including algebra, trigonometry, calculus 1, 2, and 3. I can also assist students in the math portion of standardized tests such as the SAT. As your tutor, my goal is for you to develop a different understanding of the topics you may or may not know to effectively approach problems.

I am a neuroscience graduate from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have taken extensive math and science classes at high school and college levels. I have over 3 years in teaching experience.

I have spent all my academic life learning how to study effectively, earning high scores on the ACT and SAT, and I am passionate about passing that knowledge on to others. With my performance on standardized tests, I was able to become a National Merit Scholar and obtain a full scholarship to university, a long-time dream of mine. I understand the hurdles that many students face, and I want them to feel confident that they have the tools they need to succeed. I love teaching test prep because standardized tests have an enormous impact on people's futures, and I also teach math because it reaches across many fields, from astronomy to robotics. I work with students to encourage a personal path towards learning that is different for everyone.

My name is Neil, and I have a passion for helping others understand and learn. I have tutored for two years now and have had the privilege of watching students excel at concepts that were once difficult and hard to grasp. I try my best to tailor every session to my students' needs because I have found that directly addressing problems and personally working on building confidence in a subject are key for developing stronger learners. Aside from mastering their own subjects, I want to help students feel comfortable dealing with new material, and approach every problem with a positive mindset!

I'm a native Korean, and also I moved to the US from South Korea about 8 years ago.I have a passion to teach others, and I would like to teach about how to speak like a native Korean speaker, not just based on Korean textbooks.I understand how hard learning different language is because I also experienced and is experiencing it.

Hi there! I am a passionate lifelong student! I originally began my higher education journey as a Petroleum Geology major on scholarship at The University of Oklahoma. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Arts and Performance from the University of Texas Dallas, with a focus in public relations and film studies. I currently teach Yoga (asanas + philosophy) as a 200hr certified yoga instructor.I also assist in coaching other yoga teachers in my community to help expand their practice.As a 25+year veteran of the film+TV industry,I coach actors and film makers on their craft and participate in co-learning screenwriting groups. I love arts and languages. I have studied, and actively study many languages including French, Spanish, Muskogean languages, Comanche, Choctaw, and Mandarin. I believe arts and language serve a function to connect and heal humanity. I serve to teach students in a grounded, colorful and inclusive way, unique to each individual learner.

I am currently a biology major at UT Dallas and will graduate this May. Becoming a physician has been a lifelong dream of mine. I am excited to begin medical school at UT Southwestern next fall.I would love to help others who are pursuing a similar path and need SAT or MCAT tutoring. I have been tutoring students for the SAT since high school. My tutoring style is interactive, as I like to guide students through problems until they are confident with the material on their own. I'm looking forward to getting to know my students and helping them achieve their goals!In my free time, I love to dance, play the piano, and watch movies with friends.

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 graduated with my bachelor's degree at the University of Washington. I completed my master's degree at the University of Texas at Dallas. I have a fascination for history, politics, and language. The courses which I enjoyed most in high school were IB History Higher Level and IB English Higher Level.

Hi! I'm currently a third-year medical student with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and over five years of experience as a private tutor. Throughout my academic journey, I've developed a strong foundation in math, science, reading, writing, and Spanish, while also gaining extensive experience with standardized exams, including the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. I've successfully navigated both Texas and out-of-state college admissions, as well as the medical school application process, giving me firsthand insight into what it takes to succeed academically and prepare competitive applications. Over the past five years, I've worked one-on-one with students ranging from elementary school through college, adapting my teaching style to each student's unique learning needs. I focus on helping students truly understand the material rather than simply memorizing it. My goal is to build confidence alongside academic skills so students leave each session feeling more capable and motivated.

Hi, my name is Afaf! I am pursuing my doctorate degree as a third year medical student at a university in Kansas City. I have been tutoring students of various ages, in many different subjects, for over ten years, so I have plenty of experience in helping students achieve and exceed their academic goals. In my free time, I enjoy reading, playing tennis and pickleball, watching TV shows and movies, and spending time with my friends and family. I also volunteer at local hospitals and participate in medical outreach clubs at my university. I am very much looking forward to working with you!

Teaching has always been a passion for me. I am a undergrad at the University of Texas at Dallas working on my Biomedical Engineering degree. I have tutored students of all ages and backgrounds and am excited to meet new people. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about subjects involving math. I will work hard to make sure you leave more knowledgeable and prepared for what comes next.

My reason for teaching is simple: to propel those around me to achieve their maximum potential. My life experiences has taught me that academic success not only comes from the self but also from the support received by others. The best academic support one can have is a person who is willing to be there to help you grow and learn. I want to be that person for all of my students and I strive to be that person every day. Allow me to be the support, tutor, and mentor your child deserves.

I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am 3 years into my Bachelor of Science in Physics, and i transferred this year to finish my degree at UTD. Until I transferred I was working on two degrees : one in Physics and one in Mathematics, but due to the curriculum difference I decided to drop my mathematics major. Throughout my three years in college as well as my senior year in high school, I've had experience tutoring students in various subjects such as trigonometry-based physics, calculus-based physics, as well as AP calculus. Calculus-based Physics is my passion when it comes to tutoring, since I've developed quite a bit of experience with it so I have been able to practice different ways with working with students on this subject. I base my tutoring methods on the idea that the student's ability to derive,understand ,explain a concept is the ultimate goal. It is really exciting to see a student understand the material and be able to demonstrate their new-found knowledge confidently . Besides my studies in Physics, I enjoy playing videos games, creating electronic music, programming, reading , and listening to my vast music library.

Hi! I am a current undergraduate studying both neuroscience and history! I have a passion for teaching and my biggest goal for my students is to walk away feeling confident about the subject material covered in the session. I aim to create an environment that fosters trust and comfort so students are never afraid to ask questions or tell me that they're completely lost and need me to reexplain. I also make really nerdy puns and provide funny stories to help create connections with subject material and make for a fun session!

Hello, this is Amin and I teach general chemistry and AP chemistry alongside organic chemistry. I'm looking forward to work with you on these amazing topics.

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.

I am a current graduate student at Columbia University where I am earning my Master's of International Affairs. I grew up in Texas, but live on the East Coast. After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I worked in DC as a political pollster and consultant for five years. Afterwards I moved to New York and began to focus on Russia and the post-Soviet states as my academic interest. I have also been able to travel extensively to places such as Spain, Portugal, Germany, Armenia, Nepal, and many other countries. I have helped with translation, ESL tutoring, and have tutored adults and helped them improve essays. On top of this, I have also served as an Editor for our Journal of International Affairs. I have traveled extensively, and enjoy windsurfing, Russian Cinema, and football (soccer).

Hi, I am a student at the University of Texas at Dallas studying mathematics with a specialization in statistics. My goal is to help students better understand the concepts of mathematics and try to bring joy into learning math. I love math because whenever I solve a problem myself or finally understand a concept after hours or days of studying every part of it, I get this rush of endorphins and I feel like I just understood part of the universe. I would like my students to get that same feeling.

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 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 passionate about applying my background in literature, technology, and game design to education.I tutor students in SAT/ACT test prep, computer science, computer game design, English literature & composition, mathematics, and English language acquisition (ESL).I excel at teaching students to bridge the gap between abstract, conceptual ideas and concrete practice.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Music. Since Freshman year, I have been tutoring students in Calculus, Biology, and Chemistry. As I await entry into medical school, I will continue to avidly tutor these subjects.At the end of the day, I just have experience tutoring. I know how it works and how to get results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one.When I'm not enriching young minds, I enjoy performing stand up comedy. I also do a lot of music based projects, so basically I'm a fun guy. Really!

Hello, I am a student at the University of Texas At Dallas studying mechanical engineering. I have experience teaching at my local church to 9th grade students while sitting in some of my friends elementary classes. Along with this during high school I was a part of the National Music Honor Society which gave me the opportunity to teach kids in extended day about the violin. With these experiences, I hope I could translate to more applicable subjects for school such as math and sciences. During my senior year of high school, I was also a part of the engineering team for a competition called the, Real World Design Challenge, in which my team and I had to design a UAS (unmanned aircraft system). In this I was drilled in public speaking because there was a section in the competition where we try to pitch the idea to judges in which we received a nearly perfect score (99/100). So, my experience in the field of math is very extensive for the high school level of education along with AP skills. My favorite subjects in school are physics, math, and engineering. I would like to use this passion to teach others to advance their academic career. A quote from one of my favorite poems can sum up a personal philosophy Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas.

As someone who has been in engineering school for four years now, I have gained extensive knowledge in scientific and mathematical fields as well as a dependency on copious amounts of coffee.During this time I learned something extremely important: We may all learn differently but we usually all make similar mistakes when it comes to learning.At one time I myself greatly struggled with learning topics related to my field. I learned how to overcome my weaknesses and study smarter, not harder.My aim is to pass off the skills I have acquired in college that way others can avoid repeating the mistakes of countless others and have a successful college experience. Success breeds success and a strong start is extremely important to maintain a positive experience and outlook.

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.
